Crochet muffs. Hee! No, really, muffs! Vaguely NSFW. (via a little pregnant) more inside

Mind your manners! A (rather Pythonesque) game on Victorian etiquette. [flash] And other interesting games from the McCord Museum of Canadian History.

May 6th (the first Friday of May) is No Pants Day. There's a no-pants photo gallery and even no-pants music. You can also participate in this year's pantsless photo contest. I ain't afraid of no pants. more inside

Turtle TV Network. With some strange videos featuring turtles as actors. "The One With All the Cinema" reenacts popular movies, and "The One With the Shower Scene" reenacts Psycho.

Abortion foes shun Democrats' proposal to reduce pregnancies: "Referring to Reid and Clinton, Tony Perkins of the conservative Family Research Council said, 'Their idea of reducing unintended pregnancies is more sex education and distribution of contraceptives. ... That's not the solution, that's part of the problem. If they want to start promoting abstinence, fine — but they won't.'" Here's one woman proposing a Lysistrata response.

Computer Boy - iFilm link. Classic (I found it back in 2001), juvenile humor (the director was only 18 when he made it), Australian spoof of The Matrix. Approx. 50 minutes long. SFW, but contains profanity. And fart jokes. more inside

MonkeyGifts - March swap. Opt-in for March gift swapping has begun. If you'd like to sign up, now's the time! (You can also sign up for the community but not swap this month - monthly swaps are only opt-in as you feel like it.) Here's all the community info if you're interested in joining us.

The Money Shot: an online series. (NSFW site and episodes): "A dark comedy about the business side of the porn business". Old - I first watched these in 2001 - but amusing enough to share on a lazy Saturday. The creators released seven episodes in one year but, sadly, nothing since. Each is around 10 minutes long. Here's the first episode at iFilm (they have all of them, just follow the links in the synopses).

Curious George: MonkeyFilter gift swap community I just created this; it's called MonkeyGifts. Would you like to join up for gifty swappy goodness? more inside

Qu'est-ce que the hell? Lessons in Franglais. Here you will learn how to speak French like a true Montreal native.... Includes phrases for such amusing situations as meeting people in Montreal, discussing hockey, protesting the strip bars, looking for love online, and even explains Canadian holidays.

Curious George: Games for Xmas gifts. Specifically, I'm looking for personal opinions/recommendations on: two-player games; 2-4 or more player games; and large (4-8 or more) family-friendly games. Must be easy and quick to learn. Must not be long, drawn-out, strategy-type thingies. Must be newer or lesser-known; something you can purchase for a gift, not something you'd do yourself with a standard card deck, pen, paper, or dice. more inside

Children's TV with a heavy dose of adult innuendo. A hilarious video clip (and script) from a retro kids' TV show, Rainbow. I haven't stopped giggling yet.

Letter of Warning: Don't share your office computer's C drive on Kazaa. US Postal Service disciplinary letters found on Kazaa, quoted at length here in all their (frequently ridiculous and nitpicky) glory. (via Fark)

Curious, George: Toronto meetup? I'm putting together a last-minute Toronto MeFi meetup. I would love to meet some Monkeys too! Anyone in the area that would like to come out? (Or, if you can't because it's last-minute - sorry! - would you be interested in a meetup sometime soon?)

Knit your own edible panties! And other interesting definitely-not-grannystyle craft patterns in Sex and the Knitty.
