A clearance of links I’ve been meaning to post, but haven’t had time to expand into full commentaries due to work/houseguest/laziness:

• Laz posted to his work blog a transcript of the most awesomely insane phone call I’ve heard of in some time.
• Courtesy of Weigel, a sampling of some really, really awesome audio excerpts from our 44th President’s first book.
• Someone on Google Code had fun with geek humor. The commenters had a field day. Many gems, but this one was my personal favorite.
• Bill Gates clearly has too much time on his hands, and a rather warped sense of humor. And not the good kind of warped.

Also, I got bit on the chin by a mosquito or some other flying nasty thing yesterday, and I’m officially blaming Bill Gates.

Thing the first: Los Angeles apparently has the best mass transit system in the country.

Metro beat out major transit agencies in New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C., to win the award.

Clean-air buses, customer satisfaction and expanded service all helped Metro secure the national award.

It’s a lot easier to keep customers satisfied when you have so very very few of them.

Thing the second: The most amusing headline of the day for Film School Nerds such as myself.

Thing the third: The Canadian Army vs. 10-Foot-Tall Weed Plants in Afghanistan. My favorite part is the description of what happened to troops in the area when some genius tried to eradicate the plants by setting them on fire.

Link dump!

Laz finds the most appropriately named NU Football reporter ever and ESPN reports on what is perhaps the oddest tribute to Randy Walker NU could possibly have come up with.
