Monday miscellania: horizontal blogging edition

OK, it's Monday and I'm flat on my back (doctor says it's just a sprain, thank goodness)...let's see what the 'net has for us today.

* I can't believe it's not Butterstick.

* Lisa Brown has a great proposal over at McSweeneys. I, too, have always been an admirer of Auntie Mame's parenting skills. Come to think of it, I also was a great admirer of Holly Gollightly and Nick and Nora Charles. I guess that makes me a lush?

* The Amazing Race: Family Edition is nearing the end, with all the excitement of a trip to the mall and none of the danger.

* Runner's World continues its long tradition of stating the obvious.

* Oh yeah, and Patrick Dempsey is still hot.
