When we talk about “stuff we like”, it’s as if the Crikey Team moves borg-like, with a universal opinion about what is amusing and what is cool. Not so.

Stuff we like: Home funerals and feminist weddings
April 28, 2009 – 12:47 pm
Good things to read and look at today:
We’re all Trekkies now. Star Trek is cool again (again?), according to, uh, Newsweek (those well-known arbiters of all that is hip. Ah well). There’s some tenuous Obama-administration link in there, too. Apparently the new film is pretty good, though.
Play with your food. Food art!

Stuff we like: MORE Hairy Angel and lots of stuff about food
April 27, 2009 – 11:57 am
Stuff we like today:
Fast food reality. Pictures of real fast food products compared with how they’re shown in ads. Ew.
The best-selling beer in the world. Ever knocked back an icy-cold can of Snow beer? No? Believe it or not, this Chinese lager is the best-selling beer in the world, recently knocking Bud off the top [...]
The fabulous Friday trash wrap: Denise Richards’ fun bags and Jade Goody: The Musical
April 24, 2009 – 12:25 pm
All the trash that’s fit to print:
Hairy Angel HAS been kissed. It was all a lie! Britain’s Got Talent breakout Susan “Hairy Angel” Boyle says her claims to have never been kissed were a “joke”. Lame. Meanwhile, some columnists are calling shenanigans on the whole “ugly duckling” story. Come on guys: she IS ugly — [...]
Stuff we like: What’s in a name?
April 23, 2009 – 11:11 am
Times Online nominates the weirdest girl’s name ever. Just one of the things we’re chatting about in the Crikey office today.
Stuff we like: pet travel and cosmic grammar

Some things tickling our fancy today.
Stuff we like: The Hairy Angel pudding and the truth about Iceland
April 21, 2009 – 11:13 am
Good/silly things for the day:
Susan Boyle appears on Britian’s Got Talent, pudding. Loathe as I am to give any more oxygen to the ZOMGuglypersonsingsshowtunes story of Susan “Hairy Angel” Boyle, this one made us giggle and is so British tabloid media: Susan Boyle’s face has been spotted in a Yorkshire Pudding:
Indian kids want to dress [...]
Stuff we like: Fake funerals and Bill Murray plays a really mean game of golf
April 20, 2009 – 12:34 pm
What the Crikey Team are reading today:
Bill Murray tees off. Bill Murray put a woman in hospital by accidentally hitting her with a golf ball at a Pro-Am tournament. It’s funny because it’s Bill Murray.
Scary ad. Check out this creepy ad for a bedding company:
(Caption reads: Where even nightmares come to rest)
A clever ad, but [...]
The fabulous Friday trash wrap: Dills, molls and frenemies
April 17, 2009 – 12:03 pm
Your serve of hideous gossip for the week:
Katie Couric’s “selective” Twitter feed. Busted: CBS anchor Katie Couric rants at a panel discussion about how “inane and narcissistic” Twitter is (which, duh; that’s the point) and how “selective” she is about what she tweets… Valleywag dig through her Twitter feed, finding many inane and narcissistic tweets. [...]
Stuff we like: Berets are back!
April 16, 2009 – 12:02 pm
Today they Crikey Team is looking at these things:
Image of the day:
[via Defamer Australia]
Berets are back! Art wankers rejoice: the beret is making a comeback. For some reason, the economic downturn has heralded a renaissance for the floppy hat, with sales doubling since the start of the credit crunch. Tres bien!
