Put your hands in the air, Crasstalkers. Bens is over at the hospital visiting a sick family member today but he wanted to hit you cats with a few tasty bits of Friday night funk. Continue reading

Heck yeah! You went Ali on this week and you should celebrate. Really. Let’s have some fun. Continue reading
I’ve been down this hurricane road quite a few times. Real ones — like Category 4 real. On an island.
In general a Category 2 wouldn’t even make me board up my windows in Bermuda, but that is no reason not to be prepared. Planning for a hurricane involves the usual making sure that you have provisions. That has been covered here and elsewhere. The one provision they don’t talk about is alcohol. One cannot have a proper hurricane party without some good hooch.
Happy Friday, y’all! Another interesting week has come and gone here around Crasstalk HQ, which I guess is an odd thing to say, given that we don’t have a real HQ, where we congregate and churn out some of the great content. Nope, it all happens in ‘the cloud’ or something. Okay, I don’t really know that, because my knowledge of technology is about as good as Rick Perry’s grasp of a good education platform.

Jerks. They exist. We see them everyday. They sit in the cubicle next to you. Perhaps they rub their butt on your hand while on the subway, or they ride on the stair directly behind you on an escalator and breathe garlic-onion dip on the back of your neck. COURTESY STAIR! COURTESY STAIR! You always provide one courtesy stair after the person in front of you. Sheesh. These guys, and many others like them litter our world with their collective jerkiness totally oblivious to their er, problem, while nonchalant in their affect, and mostly unrepentant.
Today we’ll start calling out jerks. Because, really, they need to know. Continue reading
“Where is that at?”
“Who are you going with?”
“Where are we going to?”
Some say it’s blasphemous and some don’t know why anyone cares. For those of you that don’t remember, here is a little refresher course on prepositions courtesy of School House Rocks. Continue reading
I promised to compile the results of the bad song contest last week. I apologize, but someone with bad judgment actually paid me to write some stuff. Sorry for the delay. Continue reading
Everyone, please keep your limbs inside the ride until it comes to a complete halt. You have now arrived at the fifth episode of season 9 of Project Runway. Five weeks in already. How time flies, almost as fast as the departing sewtestants. Have we settled into our new routine? Have we become accustomed to seeing misty water-color images of the sewtestants as the judges banter during the show opening? As always, there’s spoilers inside, so click at your own risk!

A planet made entirely of diamond, prosaically known as PSR J1719-1438, has been discovered by an international team of astronomers led by Professor Matthew Bailes at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, and including researchers from Australia, Germany, Italy, the UK and the USA. The discovery was initially made using the Parkes radio telescope in New South Wales, Australia; a radio telescope which will be well known to those who’ve seen the movie The Dish as a vital part of the network that received signals from the Apollo 11 mission, covering most of the moonwalk. The discovery was subsequently confirmed using telescopes in Hawaii and the UK. Continue reading

Soooo, is there something going on? Some extreme weather or something? A hurricane on the East coast, extreme heat in the Southwest and California is just as smug as ever. Let’s embrace this drama and share the best weather-related music.
