| Friday May 9, 2003 | Yes, you can get an MP3 player made from a Kalashnikov ammo clip, but apparently you can only use it if you look really good in a camo bikini. to Gadgets by yoyology |
| Regular memepool readers may have in the past already seen Objective Ministries. But I'll bet you haven't seen their new 4 Kidz section or its store, which features, among other things, thongs. Also, their new youth rock ministry Zounds is almost as rocking as the Zounds Abstinance Boxer Shorts that they sell. Oh, and when their creationists aren't busy mischaracterizing the second law of thermodynamics or the aquatic ape theory they're advancing the field of science by finding dinosaurs and inventing the field of Baraminology.

| Thursday May 8, 2003 | SuperHappyFun may be a dream
come true for the eclectic film buff. Have you ever wanted to see Skidoo,
Otto Preminger's attempt at an LSD picture, starring Jackie Gleason?
Frighteningly, I've actually seen it in a theater, but that's not the
point. (Sadly, I can't find a decent review on the web - try to find a
copy of Bad Movies We Love by Edward Margulies and Stephen Rebello, or
issue 6 of Shock
Cinema). Most fans of Aki Kaurismaki
have seen his film Leningrad Cowboys Go America. In fact, if you live
outside of Finland, it may be the only film of his you've seen
(although his latest was actually up for an oscar this year
- color me astounded). Few, however, have probably seen the sequel Leningrad Cowboys
Meet Moses. I know I haven't, although I've wanted to. Somewhere in
between we find William Klein's Mister Freedom
and the legendarily bad comic strip adaptation,
Dondi
(Yet another film with no decent web review). Sadly, if you don't know
what you're looking for, the site is a nightmare to navigate. Thank
[insert diety here] for the search box. Still, for some of the oddities
here, it's worth the work.

| Wednesday May 7, 2003 | Enjoy
pimpin' out your ride but dislike the attendant drinking, profanity, and sexual promiscuity? Then get Jesus to build your hotrod! Let your soul-light shine through your GroundFX when you join the Holy Rollerz. If you're more of a greaser than a pimp, then check out the Cruise-saders, the Solid Rock Cruisers, or the Rolling Disciples.

| Until I moved to Oklahoma, I'd never heard of Diane Rehm. Of course, now I can't listen to "As it Happens" or "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" like I did in Minnesota, and Walt Bodine is only available in Kansas City. Luckily, PublicRadioFan and a fast 'Net connection gets me my fix. to Media by yoyology |

7/5 of the U.S. population.
