Are you, like many others this summer, considering avoiding the costs & hassles of pricey foreign or domestic travel by having a "
staycation" at home? Daily Show commenter John Hodgman (ably backed by Jonathan Coulton on the strings)
enumerates the benefits of a "Holistay" (much better name) to help you make your choice.

Look Around You is an insanely funny BBC parody of 1970's educational programs filled with pure nonsensical lies clothed as facts & pitch perfect mimicry of the style of governmental approved childrens education television. Each of the entire first season's worth of 8 10-minute episodes
can be viewed here and is highly recommended.

Cake or Death? The spectacularly funny British comic
Eddie Izzard, currently on Broadway in A Day In The Death of Joe Egg has revamped his web site (warning: irritating flash animation & audio), and annouced that he is coming on tour, starting
Down Under and continuing throughout
Canada & The U.S. For those NY mefites, check out Joe Egg while you can, it is depressing but simultaneously funny, and anyone who hasn't seen Eddie either live or on HBO, do yourself a favor and catch a show, it's good stuff.
