We have a new winner! The "Kirk Van Houten Award for Excellency in Song Naming" goes to..... The Killers for a track from their new album Sam's Town called:

Bling (Confessions of a King)

Congratulations. Maybe for the next album you can throw in a "schizzle" or even a "off the heezy". This just in: Trucker Hats are awesome and Friendster is so cool!

It's still better than the line "I've got soul but I'm not a soilder".

Past Winners:
Slayer - Consfearacy
Black Eyed Peas - Don't Phunk With My Heart
Oasis - Guess God Thinks I'm Abel
Youth Group - Why Don't the Buildings Cry?

I fixed my Vancouver Film Fest Greasemonkey script for the crappy popup-driven Vancouver Film Festival site. The script replaces the javascript popup code for film detail pages with permalinks for films, making them easier to bookmark/view/send. Requires Firefox and Greasemonkey extension.

Also on Firefox extensions, if you use Adblock extension, add a filter for http://*.intellitxt.com/*. It will prevent most of those shitty IntelliTXT double-underlined ad links that appear on random words that lots of sites are now using.
