Turning People on . . . to Veganism
The owner of Casa Diablo in Portland, OR, was having a hard time selling locals on his Mexican vegan food. So he turned his restaurant into the world's first vegan strip club. Apparently, Portland has more strip clubs than any other city, not to mention a large vegan population.
Ruh Roh!
Bad for him, good for us. As CasaSugar said, "Hubba Bubba." (Isn't that bubble gum?)

Introducing Anne, From Little Britain
Little Britain is a hilarious sketch comedy show about the "idiosyncrasies" of the English. I've never seen it before, but CasaSugar sent me this insane compilation of clips featuring a character named Anne, who appears to be a very tall man-woman in a house-dress and fetching pink cardigan sweater. Anne has some mysterious disorder which causes her to cluck like a peeved chicken (ehn ehn EHNNN!), that is, unless she's on the phone.
