It's Friday, so my brain isn't really at work. But some portion of my brain is almost always on the internet, so here's a glorious entry from Sarah Walker over at McSweeney's to distract you, too.

I'm pretty sure this is in response to the over-blown media noise-making about the recent cover illustration, but even if it's not, yesterday's totally safe animation from The New Yorker is hilarious.

You can thank me later for laughing your head off this Friday morning:

It appears Martha Stewart's criminal record is preventing her from obtaining a travel visa to the U.K. Who knew a stint in "Camp Cupcake" would force the homemaking maven to wait out the summer at home?

The following is excerpted from an actual conversation with an Arby's employee while I ordered my lunch today:

ME: I'd like a roast beef melt -

EMPLOYEE: Do you want cheese on that?

Laugh Out Loud Cats are the brilliant creation of cartoonist Adam Koford. Armed with a brief but humorous "back story," he assembles a collection of vintage-style funnies which bear the mark of expert nerd convergence.

They're all pretty funny, but some of them are clearly genius.

What happens when summer blockbusters collide? McSweeney's imagines the answer with Jill Morris' SEX AND THE CITY AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if four vegans were lost while hiking on a mountain of meat? No? That's okay, because David Henne, writing for McSweeney's, lets his imagination answer the question that nobody asked.

Here's just the right touch of insanity to carry you into the weekend:

I think the song's lyrics are freaking amazing as well.

Sweet mercy this is hilarious. Perfect blend of cheapness factor and cheap humor.

I seriously almost peed myself laughing at this. I actually drooled on my keyboard, and the afterlaugh^TM is so strong that I'm convulsing in my chair.

Just try watching this without a simultaneous laugh and WTF? moment:

I guess Ashton Kutcher CAN be funny...when he keeps his mouth shut.

I guess everybody's gotta post about a comic from Married to the Sea, so here's one of my favorites in a long time.

The following is an actual conversation which took place between an anonymous Fan resident and myself this afternoon.

[Ext., Meadow Park. DANIEL faces approximately NE having just turned 180 degrees after taking a picture of a Fan District house. He is looking to frame another shot when a gray-haired WOMEN approaches, disrupting his attention. There are bushes between them, about shoulder height.]

WOMAN (somewhat severely): What are you doing?

DANIEL (voice rising like a question, incredulous): Taking...pictures.

WOMAN: Why?!

DANIEL: Because I enjoy photography.

WOMAN: Why here?!?

DANIEL: Well I'm on a public sidewalk, so this is perfectly legal.

WOMAN: Well, there's also a terror watch.

[WOMAN continues to watch DANIEL and slowly walks backward, arms folded across her chest. DANIEL continues to take photographs as WOMAN retreats behind the glass door of her apartment building, watching suspiciously for another fifteen minutes.]

Less artistic, but more appropriate to today (just make sure you turn up the volume, it's pretty quiet):

Make sure you won't disturb anybody with your laughter before you read this.

Alright, I know I'm not the first person to talk about it, but it's just so funny that I can't contain it any longer.

Go read Stuff White People Like. And don't take it too seriously or I'll pee in your Cheerios.
