Late post today Jobojers (get it, that's you reader. I'm sorry, I won't call you that again). I hope you got through your Monday workday without Will and I to guide you through. I promise it won't happen again. But just think, your Tuesday will be twice as good.

Here's what's happened around the web while you were diligently filing TPS reports:

If you know who Richard Kelly and the Arcade Fire are this is fun news. If not, well then it's totally meaningless.

Whew. For a second I thought Will and I were busted.

It comes with French Fried Pertaters, mmm hmm!

Pitchfork gives an ambiguous go nowhere review! Stop the presses!

A grim reminder about gas prices.

Dusty Baker still does not understand how baseball works.

To protect and serve. And kick the shit out of the helpless, black.

Harry Knowles reviews the new Indy movie. I have not read the review because it contains spoilers. Obligatory fat joke about Knowles, old joke about Ford.

Turkey does its best Chicago impression.

Bill Simmons? I'll be keeping a close eye on this as it progresses.

My reign of terror comes to an end tomorrow, I hope you've enjoyed our time together!

Let's have a Lazy Sunday Together

Someone else ventured out into the real world today so you don't have too! Except not really.
Here are some links:

Remember when Mike Huckabee was crazy? Now he's crazy and kind of racist in a that back-handed "awe shucks" way!

This shit just gets worse and worse...

Hey, every now and then SNL is funny. And yes Fred Armisen is wearing blackface.
Change we can believe in.

Coca-Cola in fact not good for polar bears.

Creed no longer to be featured on NBC's The Office, possible OZ style spin off for he and Ryan Howard

America's taste in movies is still terrible, rooted in Christianity

Holy crap I hope this is true.

Now get out of your mother's basement, go buy the New York Times and consume some actual news.

Just kidding of course

Wis. man won't buy gas for 31 days, maybe longer

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. - Brian LaFave couldn't care less how high gasoline prices climb these days — he's parked his pickup truck and is refusing to buy gas for a month, possibly longer.

"The goal is to not use one drop of gas for 31 days," LaFave said, calling it his personal stand against the oil companies.

Now LaFave, 31, is riding his bicycle or walking everywhere he goes. He won't even let friends pick him up unless they already planned on being in the neighborhood.

"If they're not going out of their way, I can take the ride," he said. "But if they're going out of their way, then ... I'm still consuming gasoline so it kind of defeats the purpose."

LaFave started the effort May 11. He bikes to his third-shift job at Aldrich Chemical in Sheboygan Falls, a 9-mile commute.

"I did like a practice run ... two days in a row to make sure I could do it," he said. "I'm not in the greatest shape. The mornings are the worst. It feels like it takes forever. I get like a mile down the road and I want to die."

It's a big change for someone who put 300 miles on his truck the week before he stopped driving it.

LaFave fills out a chart each day listing how many miles he bikes, the destination and the gas price that day, among other things. He plans to compute his savings and donate that amount to a charity that provides food to children in Africa.

"I think just with the gas prices being so high, everybody complains about it but no one ever really does anything about it," LaFave said. "People continue to drive nonstop and not think about it, but I just wanted to take a stand and say, `I'm not gonna pay this much money for gas.'"

National Achievement Scholarship Program

The National Achievement Scholarship Program is an academic competition established in 1964 to provide recognition for outstanding Black American high school students.

Black students may enter both the National Achievement Program and the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) and meeting other published requirements for participation.

The two annual programs are conducted concurrently but operated and funded separately. A student's standing is determined independently in each program. Black American students can qualify for recognition and be honored as Scholars in both the National Merit Program and the National Achievement Program, but can receive only one monetary award from NMSC.

Location:
$2,500

Deadline:
Varies
