desperate celebrities, SSNs in the sky, and the "pecking order" of Google

Got twenty bucks sitting in your pocket? You can have some loser B-list celebrity call you or a friend. Some of the names on this list are surprising. John De Lancie (Q from Star Trek) really needs money that badly? Or how about Rick Searfoss? I didn't know his name either, but he's a Shuttle Commander that's been on three missions to space. And he's whoring himself out at $20 a pop. God, that sad.

I swear to god, they're going to get protests from PETA idiots with their heads up their asses, just like the people at Bonsai Kitten did. When you're really dumb, you need to have your computer taken from you, for the safety of the rest of us.

Watch a crazy 3 year old genius go apeshit on a xylophone.

And finally, any of you who need Halloween ideas, let me make a suggestion. This priest outfit still rocks:
