Phun with Photoshop: Old-timey picture with Clinton and Kim Jong Il

(With apologies to The Associated Press)

Saw this picture come across the wire. Totally begged for a photoshoppin'.

Stripper radio?

Ever go to a strip club and thought to yourself, "Hey, why can't I enjoy this music in the comfort of my own home?"

Well, now you can enjoy listening to Warrant and Mötley Crüe at your leisure with 101.5 The Pole.

Whoo?

Yeah, I'm a little sad that Indie 101.5 died and this new station rose from its ashes. I'm going to miss listening to underground indie music — where else on the radio will I get to hear The Dresden Dolls' "Coin-Operated Boy"?

Alas, there will be no pho in a trophy for me this year. Well, unless I go out and buy my own.

My dragonboat team, Pow3Red By Chopstix, finished second at the 9th Colorado Dragon Boat Festival on July 26. While we didn't win the trophy, we did get silver medals (as seen above — I'm the one in the hat trying not to let my glasses fall off).

Second place isn't too shabby for a team short two people (three in once race) all weekend. Plus I got to complete my medal collection — I now have a gold, a silver and two bronzes.

Alas, the quest for pho is going to continue for another year.
