EMO was right!
It turns out that Germans do yearn for American bagels. Here's a list of things that Germans like about America - translated by babelfish which yields some interesting items, not all of which can be blamed on the wacky translation. For example: "Barbara Streisand"? Do you know what I like about America? The Lobster with hydrogen drive.

The Don Martin Dictionary -- Alphabetical Listing
Cool list of Don Martin's sound effect words along with their contexts. It only lists those words in the magazine and not elsewhere, so it's not comprehensive. I distinctly remember reading the word "Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeem" (a man falling) in one of the Captain Klutz books when I was in elementary school. If only it were a joke!

I hope you're happy
Do you want to be happy and don't know how? If only a financial analyst surveyed the psychological research on the subject and summed it up into a handy little report. Oh, wait it happened! Worth reading.

Finally, the source of "My Pet Goat"
It's bugged me that the story Bush was listening to on Sept. 11 has been so hard to find. According to Google Answers, here's the info. The story isn't "My Pet Goat", but "The Pet Goat" and it's not a book unto itself, it's part of a school textbook full of stories.

Cold Turkey -- In These Times
Kurt's a little rambling in this article, but there's still a lot of good stuff here. Give him a break. He's 81 - and a little pissed off, too.
