Great.  Thanks a lot.  Here I am, trying to read up on my exciting physics geekery, when suddenly some anonymous prankster goes throwing down over Movember.  Now I have to actually back up my claims with evidence.

I'm working on tracking down the sources to my original claim.  Until then, all I have to base this off of is the Movember.com fundraising details page.  I confess that they deserve a tremendous amount of credit for how much they've actually raised.  I've only secured one donation so far, whereas they've donated millions of dollars.

In 2006, after raising 7.5 million, they gave 5 million to charity.  Why they needed to keep 2.5 million to themselves to accomplish this feat, I can't even begin to speculate.  Costs of website maintenance plus limited PR plus Google ads is in the low tens of thousands.  In 2004, they managed to give every dollar to charity.  They claim they're more efficient than most charities, but they also have dramatically less overhead than most charities.

Having reviewed their financial summary, I still recommend cutting out the middleman and donating directly to charity.  Regardless of whether you donate directly to charity or through Movember.com, a hearty thank you to everybody who's donated to an excellent cause.

Am I the only one who finds the fact that "this little piggy had roast beef" highly disturbing?

I'll bet it's one of those mean pigs from Animal Farm, eating one of his former friends.

I’ll tell you where the Beef is.  Right here.  On 2log.  That’s right, we’re taking a page from the Road to Shambala, and starting a lil tiff.  Why, you ask?  

You all might have noticed the recent appearance of one “Reid Kerr”.  Well, I for one, have my doubts.  Here is why: there is overwhelming evidence that he and I are the same person. 

Example 1: My middle name is Reid.  As is his first name.

Example 2: JUST LOOK AT THIS SHOCKING PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE!!   

Haircut and a goofy smile: 

And, have any of you ever seen us in the same room together?? I thought not.  I know I havn’t!

Good lord, my (our?) life (lives?) gets (get?) weirder every day.

Reid, until you can prove that you aren’t me, conclusively, we got Beef.  Now, I am not threatening violence, but someone has some 'splainin to do.  But, let me just say in the mean time, sir, that I find you to be a striking and well put together hunk of man-flesh.  

No matter how hard I tried, I could not avoid Alexandra Wallace's idiotic, racist rant on YouTube about those pesky Asians in the UCLA library.

Soon as I saw it, I wanted to fly to California and mash her head in a way that would render her unattractive to men without a disability fetish.

And then I saw this article, and it made my fucking day.

Kudos to you, awesome people who are making affordable and delicious lemonade out of bitch lemons.

Alexandra Wallace's 'Ching Chong Ling Long' Rant Inspires Takeout Service

Reactions to former UCLA student Alexandra Wallace and her infamous "Asians In The Library" rant run the gamut from Tsunami relief efforts to techno remixes to guitar ballads. Now you can add late-night delivery service to the list.

The student entrepreneurs behind UCLA Munchies, a "late-night room service" business that caters to UCLA students, have teamed up with Brentwood restaurant The Palace to create Ching-Chong-Ling-Long Gourmet Takeout. Self-described on its site as Westwood's "newest, sexiest, drop-dead delicious" delivery service, Ching-Chong-Ling-Long Gourmet Takeout offers vegetarian entrees like vegetable fried rice and chow mein, as well as classic American-Chinese dishes like sweet and sour pork and beef with broccoli -- all at student-friendly prices starting at $5.

LA Weekly has the scoop on how this delicious partnership was born:

The partnership came about when Rachel Lee, owner of The Palace, heard about UCLA Munchies, a service run by four students who delivered snacks like burritos and ramen to the dorms into the wee hours of the morning. Sensing an opportunity to better serve the local community -- and expand her business -- Ms. Lee contacted the UCLA Munchies team for some consulting work. And so, Ching Chong Ling Long Gourmet Takeout was born. At first, says Ms. Lee, she had some reservations about the name, but after Daniel Chen and Kedar Iyer of UCLA Munchies reassured her that it was an acceptable joke she was on board.

The partnership is, of course, a win-win for both companies involved. The Munchies students now have time to study for their finals, and The Palace now has name recognition for when UCLA students are looking for someplace fancy to bring their parents when they visit.
