Table scraps:

♣I'M A BIG winner and you can be too, at Radosh.net. He's holding a series of contests to win copies of a really interesting-sounding thriller/sci-fi book. (Both are genres I'm not generally interested in reading, but the concept is really promising so I'm excited to give it a shot.) Go on, enter.

♣SEMI-AMUSING CONCEPT, excellent execution: Spamusement, cartoons inspired by spam subject lines. (Via Heaneyland!)

♣HOW DOES ONE (or two) write an entire book about the Brad-Jenn break-up in five days? Says an author: "The advice we got was, 'Hit the return key more often.' My paragraphs were too long. That was what turned my magazine writing into book writing." Well, that sounds about right.

♣REMEMBER "TEE," THE guy who lost his memory and was mentioned in a previous Table Scrap? Well, he's still lost, but he's also found.

♣LOVE BEER? FOR the taste? Well then, why not just have a beer-flavored drink? Hmm? Hmmmmmm?

♣AIN'T NOTHING FUNNY about herpes. But there's everything funny about someone unknowingly getting a tattoo that means "crazy diarrhea."

♣CASES OF MISTAKEN identity: The Social Security Administration declares one woman dead, and the woman replies: "I'm the healthiest ghost you've ever seen." And a family who received middle-of-the-night gay-bashing learns the rainbow flag they hung outside means something more than "peace."

♣HUMOR FOR THOSE who flirt on IM.

♣THE ENGLISH GO nuts over cheap furnature.

♣AND THEN, THERE'S this.
