Here we are at another Roundup chocked full of fun (and some serious) stuff. …and that’s all I’ve got. Let’s get started.

Davezilla found this very humorous warning sign about cougars.

Do you have a favorite Pixar character? Here is a list that Upcoming Pixar found based on Empire Online’s readers’ votes. Mine ended up at #3.

It seems that the old-rock guard is finally giving into the digital music age. All the Beatles have their solo stuff available and now soon you’ll be able to download virtual black-light posters, bongs and incense to go with your digital Led Zeppelin.

If you are like me, then you love Autumn. Craig at Puntabulous posted a lovely ode to the season.

Diesel guest posted at Central Snark this week and had a funny commentary about how Stephen Colbert is getting all his good ideas from the poor, pitiful, self-promoting creator of Mattress Police.

Speaking of copying others, Kath put up her own post about D’Vine Wine. Copy cat!

It’s time for the first of the Baby Boomers to start applying for benefits and Heather had some concerns about it. There is also a humorously creepy picture.

Does no one else think it’s ironic (don’t you think?) that a somewhat successful blogger posting a video of himself on a blog about himself describes himself in the video as introverted?

Gay tax? Sorta. Pam writes about an additional $1 charge for domestic partners to register with New York state which I do agree is unfair whether the partners be opposite-sex or same-sex.

Jami had a great piece about her thinking through feelings seeing an older couple holding hands.

When I do get around to visiting New York, I will definitely time it with an Improv Everywhere mission. Their latest was not only funny, but made a statement about Abercrombie & Fitch’s hypocrisy about their homoerotic advertising imagery.

And finally, two blogs went on and on telling us how to stay healthy. It’s our body, dammit! We can do whatever we want to it; however, if you are still interested, Nathan orders us to do some things to avoid being sick and appropriately named Bossy bosses us about washing our hands.

Hmmph!
