Rocketboom has their casual friday, and I (occasionally) have a round-up of selected things that ended up in my del.icio.us heh collection.

• The Origin of "My Bad" - Can this be? Was the phrase "my bad" popularized by extremely tall basketball legend Manute Bol?At a certain point in high school, I remember "my bad" making the transition from hip to awkward back to hip again. First time I think I heard it: Fellow JV soccer scrub Yossi touched his chest and said "my bad" after missing a scoring opportunity. Coach V. Moses appeared puzzled.
  
• Finger Moustache Tattoos - Yeah, you earned it. Heh.
  
• End The Whine - I missed the boat on this one. It's a group of users banded together to whine to Apple about the whining they hear in their MacBook Pros. I did end up getting one, by the way, but I haven't been bugged by any whining other than the whining inside my head.
  
• Tommy's Beard - Watch the guy's beard grow. From multiple angles. (found on Rocketboom)
  
• Waaalt! - I think I need to have a special category of heh just for Lost-related hehs. Here's a tribute to the most annoying signature line of dialogue on Lost. In the absence of a video gallery devoted to Michael wandering deserts, cityscapes, the insides of paintings, and landmarks wailing for his son, this'll do. Add two a's for annoying. (suggested by Jeff)
  
• Thanks. No. - The perfect way to tell a friend, acquaintence, or friend of acquaintence not to include you in their group e-mail blasts.
  
• The Protomen - A band based on the video game Megaman. Haven't listened yet, but I likes what I see.
  
• Too Many Puppies - Not the most hard-hitting heh, just a video of a standoff between a gaggle of puppies and a cat. Sometimes you need that too.
