Baseball Graphs = Internet Cocaine Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Learning, Sporting | View Comments
I love baseball. I also love graphs. Thus, baseball graphs are basically internet cocaine for me (notice how I alluded to this in the title). This isn't the best one over at Flip Flop Fly Ball, but it is certainly the newest: [via (the bomb ass) Flip Flop Fly Ball]

J.D. Salinger Was Mad Funny Funny, Learning, Life, Movies | View Comments
American author J.D. Salinger passed away yesterday at the age of 91. Most famous for his definitive coming-of-age novel "Catcher in the Rye," Salinger was similarly known for his self-imposed life of "recluse." But success, once it arrived, paled quickly for him. He told the editors of Saturday Review that he was “good and sick” of seeing his photograph on the dust jacket of “The Catcher in the Rye” and demanded that it be removed from subsequent editions. He ordered his agent to burn any fan mail. With all the time he had by himself, though, Salinger also ...

How To Cook A Fucking Steak Fancy Tickling, Funny, Learning, Life | View Comments
I have no idea why I think things like this are funny, but I do. And the problem is that whether you think it's funny or not, you're screwed, because you're so bored right now that you've ended up at brandonblattner.com, the self-appointed "Dorians of the Internet:" you're here because you have nowhere else to go, and even though you don't quite want to go back to work just yet, it's starting to look a little more appealing the more you look around. Well, guess what? I think the fucking steak article is funny. And guess what else? I ...

The Best Flag Ever (Reprise) Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Learning, Life | View Comments
Last week Kottke proclaimed the following to be the best flag in the world: That's the flag of the Benin Empire, a pre-colonial African state situated in modern Nigeria that lasted from 1440 until 1897. While quite awesome in its own respect, I must object to Mr. Kottke's proclamation. Frankly, for my money, I don't think it gets any better than the flag of the country in which I currently reside: that of the Democratic Republic of the Congo...about 15 years ago. The current regime's idea of a flag pales in comparison to the one (below) that flew over the Congo during ...

How you might ask? Well, with this detailed, yet easy-to-follow visual guide on how to crack a Master combination padlock, of course: For more details on that method, you can get a closer look here. Otherwise, you can use the WikiHow method, which, frankly, sounds a lot more boring than the flashy guide up there...but then again I can't say because I didn't even look at the chart above, yet alone the page, page-and-a-half long instructions below, so...: ...there are 64,000 possible combinations on a standard 40-number Master Lock.
