Apparently Brett Favre brings his own weather with him on the road. Green Bay and Seattle are playing Monday Night Football in a snowstorm, in Seattle. When you’re watching pro wrestling, and two tag teams are competing called D-Generation X and the Spirit Squad, it’s inevitable the team named DX will be the good guys. According to the USA Network, we shouldn’t just respect Pearl Harbor veterans for being great soldiers fighters. They were also great lovers. ...

One of our traditions is to not spend Thanksgiving with family…well, except for the family comprised of my wife and myself. It got started when we first got together and decided instead of trading off the Thanksgiving holiday between our families we were going to take advantage of a long weekend and go on trips ourselves.

When I run across interesting things to link from my blog, I usually send them to my Gmail account with the best intentions of blogging about them “when I get some time.” Well, that doesn’t happen as often as it should, so I’ll clear out a few items now: 5 Lamest Charlie Brown Cartoons - 10 Zen Monkeys covers the five worst Peanuts animated specials.

Chris’s Invincible Super-Blog reviews a story where the dead Batman teams up with another hero to fight crime. Need any more than that? How about this? :) Also, I feel I should mention that Dr. Frankenpalmer explains that while he’ll be contributing to some of the major motor functions, Batman’s mostly going to be operating purely on reflex. Which means that Batman’s involuntary reaction to the world around him is to hunt down evil and beat the crap out of it. ...

I guess I’m too sheltered. I didn’t even realize there was such a thing as a library cat, much less that they had their own map. Link courtesy of Too Many Topics, Too Little Time.

A synopsis of The Adventures of Rex the Wonder Dog #21, in which a boy and his dog parachute into a forest fire, kill the last surviving wooly mammoth, and learn valuable lessons about how to properly dispose of matches. Oh yes, and they’re also attacked by a cougar. All in a day’s work for Rex…truly a Wonder Dog.

Something Awful is running a series of motivational posters for super-villains. The quality is up and down, but these are some good ones. Link courtesy of X-Ray Spex, which has good posters featuring the Red Skull and Magneto.
