Daily Tidbits

Modern Drunkard has a list of the best drunks of the old west, including this awesome story about Wild Bill Hickock.

…One of the ruffians asked Bill if every bumpkin on the plains picked his teeth with a Bowie knife. Bill tipped his hat back and said, quite calmly, “No, but we all know who our mothers are.” … The five hooligans rushed Hickok, he doffed his hat and turned his pool cue heavy-end-up. About 15 seconds later, Hickok stepped across the five broken, bleeding thugs, and resumed his drinking, picking up the story he’d been telling right at the point he’d left off.

Autoblog posts about a Fiero that’s also a boat. What can’t the plucky little mid-engined Pontiac do?

Jim Cramer, who’s show Stop Trading I watch even though I don’t understand the stock market, has this to say about a possible Apple product:

Cramer also said that a new Mac product, Conversation, will bring Apple to the forefront of instant messaging. He said the product will be similar to the iPod in its impact. “The analysts don’t see it because the analysts don’t use it,” he said. “I think this is a gigantic product.”

Cramer, not normally known for starting Apple rumors, may be talking out of his ass here, or maybe just discovered iChat on his MacBook and got confused.

Finally, Nebraska’s favorite band, Loup River Waltz & Street Choir, will be playing a show with the Bellflowers at the Zoo Bar tomorrow night. I will be sure to be there, with camera in tow. It will be awesome.
