i haven't been able to get count van count out of my head since the fredster brought him up.
but now i've got a news link collage to share (i've taken a muscle relaxer and am slightly punchy and irreverent at the moment):
- undercover agents go nutty (nytimes.com)
- kyrgyz civil war threats makes people take faces out of posters (moscowtimes.com)
- the oft overlooked biblical elmo and powerpuff girls (haaretz.com)
- patch adams tries to help tsunami victims laugh it off (english.al-jazeera.net)
- the always wordy rockland, me police blotter (knox.villagesoup.com)
- that chess hound bobby fischer gets to be icelandic (news.bbc.co.uk) (okay, he's said some unkind things about 9/11 and jews, and is maybe not as agoraphobically benign as we thought)
- and just because the flexoril is making me silly, don't click this if you don't want to see barney doing a hard-core rap video.
update (3/24): okay, i know that most holidays are bastardized away from their original purposes. christmas is all madison avenue-y, halloween is refined begging, easter is a strange fertility rite and candy fiesta, and purim's about dressing up. tradition says on purim you dress as mordecai or esther or someone from the story. but as a mexican?
