What’s your pirate name? (Via Quiddity.) Black Davy Flint here. “Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. Like the rock flint, you’re hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you’re easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!” Ok, could be worse.

A Bitter Film.
Ah, Spring, when a young man’s thought turn to love…and bitterness. (Grotesque cartoon violence involved, if that sort of thing offends you.)
Cluster Bombs and Cakewalks.
Also via LinkMachineGo, Get your War On reports in on the fall of Baghdad. “So, what do you suppose Dick Cheney is thinking right now? ‘Thank God, my decades-long dream of liberating the Iraqi children has been realized! Now, to cure AIDS!’“
Stop me before I think again.
When times are this crazy, trust The Onion to come through in the clutch. “True patriots know that a price of freedom is periodic submission to the will of our leaders — especially when the liberties granted us by the Constitution are at stake. What good is our right to free speech if our soldiers are too demoralized to defend that right, thanks to disparaging remarks made about their commander-in-chief by the Dixie Chicks?” I should not be allowed to say the following things about America, especially during wartime.
Mad as Hell.
The inimitable Mr. Cranky is firing on all cylinders right now in his review of Iraq war coverage. (Via High Industrial.) Regarding Fox News, I’m surprised Dick Cheney doesn’t call to tell them to tone it down a bit…it must drive the audio technicians nuts to keep having to pod down all that goose-stepping in the background. Mr. Cranky’s been hit-or-miss as the years have gone by, but this piece is Onion-esque to the extreme.
Wasted!
Dave Chappelle previews Grand Theft Auto 4, and the graphics are definitely a step up.
Freedom of the…oh, never mind.
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia accepts a free speech award…while muzzling the press. War or no, the blatant examples of conservative doublethink lately are getting outrageous. In loosely related news, the FBI track down a long-lost copy of the Bill of Rights. Think they could let Ashcroft take a gander before they return it to NC? The Attorney General seems to have gotten caught up somewhere around the Second Amendment.
Toy on the Run.
Lego’s Run, via Goatee Style. I’ll betcha Gregory Harrison comes by to check the progress every day.

Let us spring up from out of our sober shells – We will soar like drunken eagles. A friend of mine passed along this collection of drinking hand signs, which look to be quite useful for crowded, noisy pub crawls.
Bottoms Up.
Via an old crew friend, famous drunkards battle it out. I woulda thought the British Bulldog could have taken down Burton.
