Summer's Last Gasps

As I've been busy trying to wring every last drop of fun out of this woefully disappointing summer (read: wrapping up the 5th season of "The Wire," nursing a sore back, and overdosing on Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise,) I've been neglecting the Zero people on the Internet that read this. So, here's a bunch of things that other people have found interesting and actually did the legwork for, and my links to those things:

• Design your own costume for Little Big Planet's mascot "Sackboy," win something in the process.



• While I'm not the world's biggest Mountain Goats fan, I've got to say that this SMB inspired EP definitely piqued my curiosity.



• Because I'm feelin a little bit country today...



• ...and a little bit (not so) Rock and/or Roll.



• Update to last year's "Drugs on a Plane" story



• Finally, how about sending off the summer in style, with this sweet-ass portable grill?
