I scored a measly 24 on this Pew Research “How Millenial Are You?” quiz (via Clint Schnekloth). Can’t say I’m too upset by that.
Here’s the host of NPR’s “This American Life” explaining to David Letterman. The funny thing is that throughout the clip Letterman and the audience are chuckling at the wacky “poultry activist”* who protested Glass’s show because of some feature they had called “Poultry Slam” (full disclosure: I’ve never listened to the show). The audience is clearly expecting him to mock this lady, but he recounts how she finally convinced him to come visit her chickens and that he ultimately decided he had to stop eating these creatures, each of whom, he says, has their own personality!
*The activist in question was Karen Davis of United Poultry Concerns.

I urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to watch the embedded video of the Japanese Transformers cartoon featuring karaoke(!).

I couldn’t help but notice that blog-friend Graham at Leaving Muenster is sporting an ad for the “Family Values” tour on his site!
Now, I could be going out on a limb here, but I’m going to bet that Graham is probably not a fan of Korn, Evanescence, Atreyu, Hellyeah, or Trivium.
Gotta be careful what you write about there, Graham! One minute you’re critiquing the Religious Right’s distorted view of what constitutes “family values,” the next you’re shilling for Korn!
By the way, Hellyeah is the new project of former Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul.
Here’s a video of Vinnie buying $1000 worth of Jagermeister – it doesn’t get much more metal than that, friends (n.b. some bad language):
Here’s Trivium, “Entrance of the Conflagration”:
