Four friends who collectively call themselves Igloo Tornado wrote a series of fictional tales of the love between Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig, plus some jokes from their Satan worshiping neighbors, Daryl Hall and John Oates. This land of make-believe is contained in
Glenn & Henry Forever. There isn't a preview in one handy location, but various
interviews,
reviews, and
blogs have posted
some of the comics (more:
Henry has no shoes, Hall & Oats play D&D,
a postcard from Henry to Glenn, and
a page from Danzig's diary). Danzig,
often the butt of internet jokes, was not thrilled. His thoughts were made into
a final comic. Oh, and there's
an anti-Christmas animation special/advert. And
a gallery show with more artists joining the fun.

Greetings from the Twine Ball, wish you were here: "But you can't see out of the side of the car, because the windows are completely covered with the decals of all the places where we've already been: there's
Elvis-O-Rama, the
Tupperware Museum, the
Boll Weevil Monument, and
Cranberry World, the
Shuffleboard Hall Of Fame,
Poodle Dog Rock, and the
Mecca of Albino Squirrels. We've been to ghost towns, theme parks, wax museums, and
a place where you can drive through the middle of a tree ... "

Play Helen Hunt off, Keyboard Cat! So he does. And then he jams. It's a single link to YouTube, and you may skip it if you want. But you're missing out if you do, because as I type this I think this opus is the pinnacle of human achievement.

Buck O'Neil, 94, was a
star player for the Kansas City Monarchs, of the
The Negro Leagues, the first black coach hired by
Major League Baseball, one of the founders and current Board Chairman of
The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, a scout, who signed such stars as
Ernie Banks, and
Lou Brock, was
denied his last chance to enter baseball's
Hall of Fame this week. Considered by many to be the unofficial " Ambassador of Baseball", Buck was most diplomatic in his response, saying:
"Shed no tears for Buck," he says. "No, no. Ol' God's been good to me. You can see that, don't you? If I'm a Hall of Famer for you, that's all I need. Just keep loving ol' Buck."
", and
" You think about this,' he said. "Here I am, the grandson of a slave. And here the whole world was excited about whether I was going into the Hall of Fame or not. We've come a long ways. Before, we never even thought about anything like that. America, you've really grown and you're still growing."
Keith Olbermann is outraged...I am just sad.

Cal Ripken's
farewell tour. Here are the numbers: 2,632 consecutive games, 3,107 hits, 421 homers, 1,652 RBI. Even though some argue he
shouldn't be an all-star this year, I think his ticket for
Cooperstown is pretty much punched. And to top it all off, his final game will be at Yankee Stadium. I think Lou Gehrig would smile.
