Show us your favorite President.
My favorite president? My favorite? Well. He doesn't exist. But this is a pretty fair approximation of the kind of person I'd like to see in office:
Show us something that's got you hooked.
In short order, he "discovered" a comic strip purportedly drawn by his grandfather, Aloysius "Gorilla" Koford, called the Laugh-Out-Loud cats. The comic is usually a single panel featuring the antics of two hobo cats, Kitteh and Pip and is drawn in a clean, classic style on old newsprint.
The comics also feature all the memes and recursive internet humor found in the various LOL Cat macros that seem to crop up everywhere.
Since June, Koford has drawn around 750 different Laugh-Out-Loud Cats comics, resulting in a collection called "Meet the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats."
Koford, who rose to internet fame through his attempts to illustrate each of the names in Jonathan Hodgman's listing of Hobo names in his book "The Areas of My Expertise," has published the collection himself, through Lulu.com.
The comic and the book, not to mention the cartoonist, have been pushed to greater and greater popularity through Koford's Flickr listing and through Boing Boing's adoption of Koford as their artist in residence.
Show us a brand to which you're loyal.
Nintendo just seems to be a company done right. Their products are always worth the money, and they treat their customers like people and do their best to make things a good user experience. I am a happy owner of both a Wii and a DS and they, like the GameCube and GameBoy before them, are excellent products.

And I've been hearing you saying some things that you don't mean.
Everyone needs a sunday some days, everyone needs to take some time away.
So come on home from the front lines, baby,
You know you've done more than your time there was supposed to have been.
A little time out could turn your head 'round,
A little time out could lift us our of the mess we're in.
And down by the beach there's a small cafe,
Where we'll hang on for Joan and drink Bonet all day.
So come on over to St. Feliu 'cause it's somewhere I've been and I want to take you there.
You know that waking up to the daily blues from
Waking up to the daily news ain't nothing strange.
Everyone gets to feeling weak,
But if everyone gets to take a week and change their pace...
You travel west 'til you hit Girona, I'll travel east out of Barcelona,
And I'll meet you halfway.
One day and night on La Costa Brava, we'll forget the fright,
And remember why we want to be brave,
(and that there's something to save)
Like down by the beach there's a veg cafe,
Where we'll meet Lolo and Pablo and drink Moritz all day.
So come on over to St. Feliu 'cause it's somewhere I've been and I want to take you there.
We'll meet Berta, and Daniel, and Remy, Celine, and Mike, Adriana, Padi, and Aziz,
And Maurix, Maria, and Laura, Tule,
And Sherry and Pau, Jodie, and Paul,
I hope Neil is OK...

Rock'n, rock'n'roll radio Let's go
Rock'n, rock'n'roll radio Let's go
Rock'n, rock'n'roll radio Let's go
Do you remember Hullabaloo,
Upbeat, Shinding and Ed Sullivan too?
Do you remember rock'n'roll radio?
Do you remember rock'n'roll radio?
Do you remember Murray the K,
Alan Freed, and high energy?
It's the end, the end of the 70's
It's the end, the end of the century
Do you remember lying in bed
With your covers pulled up over your head?
Radio playin' so no one can see
We need change, we need it fast
Before rock's just part of the past
'Cause lately it all sounds the same to me
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh
Will you remember Jerry Lee,
John Lennon, T. Rex and OI Moulty?
It's the end, the end of the 70's
It's the end, the end of the century
