I'm melting faster than that popsicle that drowned Union Square, so I'm just going to point to other places on this fine world wide web of ours that I found entertaining:

• Verbose Coma tears down the mystery surrounding newly nominated John Roberts and the Frygate conspiracy.

• TMFTML creates his own bit of found art to make a biting comment on everyday heroes and the guts it takes to make them.

• I love it when Overheard in New York does its part to help gullible girls everywhere.
  

Guy on cell: ...I'm fine, really. It was not a good time to come to London, though. The police are all running around looking worried. I should be back in New York in a few days.
--Duane Reade, Broadway & 84th, 7/21

Man on cell: Yeah baby, yeah, I'm still in London. Yeah, I'll be back on Wednesday, baby.
-- West 4th & Jane, 7/6

• Bookslut links to the "My Favorite Word" project. When the humidity clears, maybe I'll be able to remember mine. Update: I just posted an entry for "badinage." Told ya I'd remember.
  

• Gelf Magazine reveals where those movie blurbs really come from...(via boing boing)

• Gizoogle

• Photographer Gary Leonard is going to try to recreate A Great Day in Harlem with L.A. punks instead.-
