We are amused.

Monday, January 24th, 2011

By this story in the LAT about the arrest of rapper “40 Glocc” (sp?).

Specifically, we are amused by:

  • the name “40 Glocc” (which, Lawrence points out, is both distinctive and not subject to trademark infringement suits).
  • Mr. “Glocc”‘s arrest (his real name appears to be Lawrence White) on weapons charges.
  • the fact that he was arrested carrying a 9mm handgun and not a .40 S&W. The LAT does not specify if it was, at least, a Glock.

Things are still kind of up in the air, but improving slowly. In the meantime, have a handful of random crap:

Your Jack LaLanne obit from the NYT. And from the LAT.

Just for Lawrence, a review of the New World Center, designed by Frank Gehry.

Happy belated birthday, John Moses Browning.

The Pack is back, baby! (Mostly, I’m linking this for the font: may not be valid after 1/24. Did they drag the “Japs Attack Pearl Harbor!” font out of the Linotype case?)

Should General Vang Pao be buried in Arlington?
