Hump Me, Baby

It's Hump Day, and here are a few things around the Interwebs that will help you over the hump and into the cesspool of a Thursday that awaits.

• TVGasm makes light of a recent production error that placed House's theme right smack in the middle of Prison Break. This is pretty funny--let's just say it involves Alvin and a heavy dose of The Chipmunks.
  
  
• Review the World updated today with an article about an old-timey soda fountain drugstore/resaurant.
  
  
• With a name like this undoubtedly you’re thinking I used a time machine to go back in the past and visit one of those old-fashioned soda fountains of yesteryear. Well – yes and no. First, if I could travel backwards in time, I wouldn’t be sipping on a chocolate shake; I’d be teaching Abraham Lincoln how to breakdance and spending time getting to know the misunderstood brontosauruses, offering a hug and empathizing that somebody does in fact care.
  
  
• Progressive Boink had their usual Wednesday update. Most funny this week: Pool Party Guide.
  
  
• You've sent grandma on a surprise trip to Vegas while convincing the rest of your family that she was abducted and murdered, so while they're in Jefferson City tending to her estate you'll have plenty of time to get your party off the ground. A garden won't amount to much without seeds to plant though, so get started on an invitation list. Don't get too excited though. Send invites to as few people as possible. The working theory is that the less people you invite, the more will end up wanting to come. To further pique peoples' interest, send out an "accidental" e-vite followed by an immediate apologetic retraction. Knowing that you didn't want certain people to show up specifically is only going to further nip at their curiosity and guarantee you a healthy return when it comes time to crank up the jams.
  
  
• Sick Animation updated with a new comic today. It has the funniest two-word phrase I've ever heard. But I won't say it here, because it would ruin the comic.
  
  
• Once again, Overheard in New York's Wednesday One-Liners!
  

• Tween to her mom: Oh look, it's those shoes you can eat! Wait, can you eat them? Oh, no, these aren't the edible ones.

• Finally, yesterday was Jack Bauer Appreciation Day, and I forgot to buy him a gift (nor did I do anything special for him). Here is the originator of the holiday. Also, click here for some Jack Bauer Fun Facts. Really, every day is Jack Bauer Appreciation Day at Robot Hand is the Future anyway.
  

Hope you can make it until 9:00, when we find out why Lost's Michael decided to be such a sourpuss and shoot everybody.
