ATPM staffers lead glamourous lives, let me tell you. When we’re not unemployed (moi), running our own businesses (Michael and Evan), or working for others (Lee, Ellyn, and practically everyone else), you might find one of us interning for a popular magazine. I thought Wes had hit the big-time when he got to wander around Manhattan, challenging perfect strangers to lightsaber duels.
Now, in the August 2005 issue of PM (not yet online), Mr. Meltzer’s in print, taking part in the “Shred Reckoning” personal shredder comparison. For the record, that is not Wes’s photo used in the test document.

Overheard on the Dow Jones Stock Report, on WRR, just a few moments ago:
“Maidenform is getting some firm support from investors…”
In an ADD moment late last night, I was flipping channels, and came across The Great White Hype. Having seen it on HBO or one of the other movie channels some time ago, I left it on, especially since my favorite part was coming up: when Brian Setzer does “Oh, Danny Boy.”
I won’t bore you with details, but I really like Setzer’s version of the song. Unfortunately, it is not available:
q) Is Brian’s version of the song “Oh, Danny Boy” that appeared in the film “Great White Hype” available on CD?
a) No, it is not. The track is in the Surfdog Records vault, but does not appear on the film’s soundtrack or any other released CD. There are no plans at this time to release it.
Heather cracks me up.
Every time Jack Nicklaus plays a tournament for the last time, Tiger wins the event.
This has to be the funniest thing I’ve read all day.
Update, 7/14: What do zombies do after a hard day of causing panic? They go to McDonald’s, of course. This photoset has had me in stitches.

Actually, it’s not about a Slurpee.
Spotted today on the Dallas Craigslist job boards:
“Attractive Female Office Needed“
It really helps, when you have events set on a certain day, and you don’t look at your calendar every day, to set reminders.
So I missed Rick’s birthday this past Saturday. Happy Belated, my friend!
And I missed Lee’s by a few hours. (You could have said something during our IM conversation, you know, Mr. Bennett. You are the older and wiser one, after all.)
My best wishes and heartfelt prayers for the both of you.
Only it’s on the ukelele. Tom sent this to me via IM, and I see he’s blogged it as well. It’s really quite mesmerizing. This guy is good.
