“Mitchell came from Birmingham, England and fought Sullivan in 1883, knocking him down in the first round. Their second meeting took place in 1888 on the grounds of a chateau at Chantilly, France in driving rain. It went on for more than two hours, at the end of which both men were unrecognisable and had suffered much loss of blood; neither could lift his arms to punch and the contest was considered a draw.”

- From the wikipedia article on John L. Sullivan — Both one of the finest athletes ever, and a true inspiration for every young lad.

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 21:21:58 +0200

Alfred: So, you’re saying the JOKER is hiding here, in the Middle East?
General: Exactly. Then, he repurposed the AAs for a wide angle of cover reaching around back here to PPD.
Alfred: And then he set up an online computer defence grid?
General: Bingo.
Alfred: Well then, what do we possibly do?
Bruce: We hack the internet.
Alfred: Hack the internet?
Bruce: Yes, hack the internet.
General: No one’s ever hacked the internet before.
Bruce: Well, there’s a first for everything.
General: Okay, I like it. But which one of the internets do we hack?
Bruce: All of them

How to do the Fishstick

Tue, 27 May 2008 23:44:59 +0200

Beginners should perform the Fishstick to the tune “Tighten Up” by Archie Bell & the Drells. “For presentation and learning purposes, you would want [’Tighten Up’] going.” - Adam Lisagor
The Fishstick should be subtle. “Unless you’re really staring at someone doing the Fishstick, you wouldn’t know that they were dancing.” -Scott Simpson; “…the Fishstick is mostly happening in your head.” - Merlin Mann
Performances may look like minor neurological disorders. To an untrained observer, “it might look like somebody was thinking about something…maybe trying to remember something, or that they’re having a very slight palsy.” -Merlin Mann
While generally done as a solo dance, the Fishstick can be performed “alone, with a study partner, or while […] waiting for something to finish cooking.” -Merlin Mann

The “Fishstick” were invented during the podcast “You look nice today”, Sacks-Minnelli Disease-episode. Transcripted by Chris Higgins (go to his site for more videos of people perfoming the fishstick)
