The greenest car in America is not the Prius. It’s a Honda that runs on “compressed natural gas“, which makes my inner child giggle.

How to Manage Your Online Reputation. That is, if you are brave enough to find out what your online reputation is… I’m not sure that I am.

On his post-Oscar show, Jimmy Kimmel responded to Sarah Silverman’s “affair” with Matt Damon. Everyone in southern California helped out.

A Star Wars movie review by a three-year-old. She’s not only adorable, she convinces you that she knows what she’s talking about.

Medical Confessions. Five doctors spill the beans about annoying patients, malpractice, how much they drink, and other subjects.

They say you should throw fish out when they start to smell, after about three days. This one is 380 million years old!

  1. My favorite beer prayer is:

    Our Lager which art in barrels,
    Hallowed be thy drink.
    Thy will be drunk,
    I will be drunk,
    At home as in the tavern.

    Give us this day our foamy head,
    And forgive us our spillages,
    As we forgive those who spill
    against us.
    And lead us not into incarceration,
    But deliver us from hangovers.

    For thine is the Beer, The Bitter,
    and the Lager.

    Barmen.

  2. Good one, King!!! :D

    I haven’t eaten breakfast at Lou Mitchell’s since Lou himself was handing out Milk Duds when you were waiting for a table, but it is really good. And I missed out on a big part of the experience, because I don’t drink coffee. People sit for hours just drinking coffee. The waitresses are constantly saying “Doesn’t anybody have to go to work around here?”

  3. Man oh man! Cafe Des Amis will knock your socks off. Be sure to check out the walls; they’re decorated with graffiti by celebrities (Dan Akroyd, John Goodman and more) and people from far off places. Don’t pull out your sharpie though, management decides who gets to write on the walls.

  4. I remember when Cafe Des Amis opened in a defunct storefront across the street from St. Bernard’s, my catholic school for K-8. Less than a mile up the road on East Bridge Street was the house I grew up in.

    I don’t know that I’ve ever eaten there, though! Considering how much I love breakfast, that’s a shame.

  5. Okay, I checked my google reputation and I’m feeling pretty good about it. I’m very, very pleased to report that one of the things that came up was a reference in the comments of a mental_floss post!

  6. I can definetly say that the breakfast at Hominy Grille is the best! Even on hot Sundays when you have to wait for 45 min outside (all the space inside is taken up with tables). Although I think that that their peach cornbread pancakes give the shrimp n grits a run for their money.

  7. This list is not complete without the Breakfast Club on Tybee Island, GA. How good is it? They were caterers at JFK Jr.’s wedding.

  8. I don’t think Jimmy Kimmel’s response to Sarah Silverman’s video was as funny, except for the fact that Kimmel got Josh Groban to take part. How awesome was that?

  9. New York Magazine did that Medical Confessions article, the NYC version, last year:

    Shame, shame, The Guardian…

  10. You know, for the life of me, I cannot get a result when I google myself. I’ve even TRIED pretty hard. I have a myspace. I have a facebook. I’m actually pretty careful about what I put on them, because I know there’s someone with better search skills than my own. But at this point, I’m irked. I even put myself on wink.com to see if I came up anywhere. Apparently I’m just not that popular. Ah well, story of my life. And I’m ok with that. :)

  11. When I googled Tdave I didn’t expect so many. The only ones that are me are the Mentalfloss comments and a few adfreak posts when I used Tdave there.

  12. Minneapolis represent! Good to see Al’s Breakfast on there. I’ve been going there since I was about 4 or so. I highly recommend the blackberry pancakes and the smokey cheese omelet. My dad won’t drink the coffee there because it makes him jittery–but that’s how I like it best!
