A good one from last week.

Interesting project, and a very fun story. Authors make up back stories to go with various knickknacks. Then the objects are sold. Apparently the point is to figure out whether the stories add value to the objects.

This is my favorite of the stories I've read.

Quoted: This is an icon of the fourteenth-century saint Vralkomir of Dnobst, the patron saint of extremely fast dancing.

Quoted: In the autumn of 1347, in response to a perceived slight from a Dnobstian maiden, the recently enthroned Tsar Nÿrdrag the Irascible (also known as “The Cowbird Tsar,” a Scandinavian foundling whom the previous Tsar and Tsarina unknowingly raised as their own) issued an edict banning fire in Dnobst.

This publication was defunct for several months. Now they're back, boasting the best Michigan daily news roundup anywhere. And if you don't like the writing, or are loyal to the schools they make fun of, there's a nice photo to lead things off today.

Quoted: Turns out, Davenport has dorms and a hockey team called the Panthers and everything! Go figure. One of their dorms was evacuated yesterday because of some weird smell. This whole thing was probably set up by the Davenport Board of Trustees to promote that they have dorms.

I was trying to remember where Ba got that "fade into Bolivian" line and found this treasure trove. Enjoy.

This made me laugh a whole lot. I'm not exactly sure why. The callers are the best.

Quoted: Game Time with Dave and Greg.

Conan's last Late Night.

Quoted: Video description: Andy Richter, The White Stripes

This reminds me of when Malik Rose, onetime Drexel Dragon and the Shaq of the NAC, said "NBA players make a lot, but we spend a lot too." I think it was on the eve of a potential lockout or something.

I believe you, Malik Rose and Wall Street Bankers, and I don't really need to see your opulent budget. The fact that you are fully capable of spending your enormous salary does not justify it.

Quoted: To many people in many places, it is a princely sum to live on. But in the neighborhoods of New York City and its suburban enclaves where successful bankers live, half a million a year can go very fast.

Quoted: The president's Wall Street salary cap threatens life as some know it in Manhattan.

Nice. With Chris Partlow and Nicky Sobotka on D-line, things are looking up.

Quoted: So, yeah, this from reader Ba Orao was pretty freaky:

Quoted: The Las Vegas Wranglers (14-14-3) revealed the jersey designs for their "Rod Blagojevich Prison Uniform Night" on Friday, Jan. 30 against the Bakersfield Condors.

Quoted: "We envision goal judges in powdered wigs and black robes and bars on the penalty boxes," said Billy Johnson, the Wranglers' president and COO in a statement.
