Uh, in case you didn’t notice, my blog got another sexxxy visit from an angora fetishist today. Man, the “Angora Man” posts really draw them in. (NOTE: There technically aren’t any obscene words in the comment, but it may still qualify as Not Safe For Work, depending where you are…)

“A Day in the Life of Gene Simmons.” Also known as “A Day in the Life of People Currently Obsessed With Guitar Hero.”

Obama meets Spider-Man. Neat! Because Obama is a self-confessed Spidey fan, Marvel have worked him into the next issue (and put him on the cover). Judging by Kings Comics, #583 should be out here in Oz next Thursday. I’m going to try to get one.

Mark Bittman – he of the no-knead bread phenomenon – gives advice on cleaning out your pantry for New Year’s. I did something similar last week, much to the Snook’s chagrin. I threw out probably an entire grocery bag full of expired stuff: spices, pasta, bread-making supplies, semi-dried fruit, etc. Some of this stuff was YEARS out-of-date! He argued that most of it was still perfectly good to use, in the sense that it wouldn’t kill us. My response was that whatever potency and flavor they had originally was long gone, and we’d be better off getting smaller amounts of fresher supplies. I mean, if you haven’t used SOY GRITS since 2004, what are the chances you’re going to use them in 2009?

One for the Snook: Crossword Puzzle Apartment Building. There are clues located all over the city, and at night the answers are illuminated. Neat!

Substitution in Cricket. I’ve been confused by the match Australia are currently playing against South Africa, as one of the SA players got struck on the hand and had to retire injured in the first inning. I assumed that somebody would bat for him in the second innings, right? I mean, the guy got his hand BROKEN. But no! Substitutions are only allowed in the field, and the new player can’t bat or bowl or act as wicket-keeper. How odd. Seems a little unfair that a single bit of bad luck can keep a team a man down for the rest of the match.

Deep. Fried. Cupcakes. O brave new world world that has such wonders in it!
