Is it the weekend already? Friday night goes by so quick, doesn't it? Rub the sleep dirt out of your eyes and catch up on the Urlesque goodness that you might've missed this week. Slacker!

• Cartoons are best viewed mashed into a fine webby pulp.
• A complete timeline of internet memes.
• Cinco de Mayo came and went, but at least you'll be prepared for next year.
• If you get your make-up tips from YouTube, you might be an internet addict.
• Bookmark them before your friends; ladies and gentlemen, ManBabies.
• A ten pack of internet videos to pass the time.
• Because you probably forgot about Mother's Day, here's 20 awesome internet moms.

If you're like me, watching the Bat For Lashes 'What's A Girl To Do' video makes you want to ...

• ride a bike

• join up with a bunch of other bikers on a fairy tale ghost street, forming some kind of fairy tale ghost gang

• wear an animal mask

But where you gonna get an animal mask? The Frank costume from 'Donnie Darko' has long since been auctioned off eBay, meaning you're gonna have to digg a little deeper to find your scary nightmare bunny. Even then, all you'll turn up is a ninja bunny mask with secret pockets hidden in the ears. So let's just contract the beastly good artist Matt Cipov to design our bike gang's costumes, huh? I first caught wind of Cipov's animal inspired wares at Shopadorkable last August where I swooned for his stag and grizzly masks (below), but the boy's kept busy ever since.
Check out the newest additions to his growing zoo of face masks at MattCipov.com. Buy them as prints then paste them to your head before we take off on our bike ride.

More animal masks for our bike gang when you keep reading.

Economists used to agree that America was awesome. But lately some ominous trends have people feeling uneasy. Gas prices are at four bucks a gallon, the dollar's plummeting, Bear Stearns collapsed, and Jim Cramer's been crying on live television. America's got a fever, and President Bush has the prescription: an economic stimulus package that puts $600 back in your pocket. That, and more cowbell.


How I Spent My Stimulus is keeping track of what the people are doing with their government cheese. Readers can send in a picture and description of the mundane and absurd crap they buy; put them all together and you get a lovely snapshot of American life in the final days of W.

The posts break into distinct categories of stimulus-spending behavior:

1. The doomsayers. While I chose to stockpile rice and bottled water, others:

• Traded American currency for precious metals or Euros.
• Bought a one-way plane ticket abroad, seeking a more stable economy.
• Armed themselves.

2. The consumers. Free money? Time to buy something ridiculous, like:

• A chocolate fountain.
• An over-sized leg cast for a tiny dog.
• A strange pancake-muffin-making contraption.
• Fifty lottery tickets.
• Sub-category: To the Apple Store!
  
• An iPod Touch, obviously.
  
• An iPod nano, for jogging; old iPod too heavy.

3. The "elitists." Don't call them out of touch:

• Donated it all to the Obama campaign or half to the DNC.
• Contributed to the legal defense fund of an accused eco-terrorist.
• Sub-category: Irony!
  
• Paid off tax debt from '06.
• Hired Mexican laborers to build a backyard fence.
  
• Bought a lot of weed.

4. All of the above. The winner:

• Bought an iPod to listen to while in labor, fifteen boxes of cereal, and tickets to next year's World Beard and Mustache Championships in Alaska.
  

God Bless America.

We all love our moms, but let's be honest -- how many of us have awesome moms? Forget about MILFs, what about MILTHs? You know, Moms I'd Like To Hug. Mother's Day is coming up so the time is right to honor these dear, dear women. Time for a list of The 20 Most Awesome Mothers On The Internet. If your mom's ever been on YouTube and/or has been certified as awesome ... who knows? She might've made the cut.

	The video's title is 'Mom Kicking Some Ass,' but going off the scrunched up face and unsure, "I need to fire? Oh ...," this MILTH has no idea how she ended up with a black market assault weapon, but she's game for a little target practice anyway. For my boys ...
	Any mom able to keep up with Dave Davies of the Kinks is more than just my "guitar hero." Out-thrash him, and you're a full-fledged goddess of rock. She tries hiding behind her axe, but the upward swing looks totally triumphant. MILTH, you really got me going!
