2:51AM - The "pre-bandom" bandom?

So a while back I saw an indie/emo band called Jimmy Eat World live, and my friend was hesitant to go with me because she dislikes the current lot of emo bands and their slash-prone bandoms. I convinced her Jimmy Eat World has no such fandom and we went and enjoyed ourselves a lot.

But now I got to thinking - I was never fanatic to surf message boards or livejournal communities. Does Jimmy Eat World have a fanfiction/slash writing fandom as well (like the more current emo bands like MCR and Fall Out Boy)?

I would guess no since they're so regular-looking, regular-seeming (no "stagegay" witnessed at the show I went to) and have hit their 30s by now. But the internets are a big big place - a quick Google/LJ search might not provide the whole answer. So if you have any info on this, let me know. I'm kind of sickly curious.

EDIT: I edited the title to be less misleading.

Buffalo-style Torchic sounds delicious.

3:04PM - Chuck Norris the only WMD in Iraq

Chuck Norris the only WMD in Iraq, say U.S. troops

And so Chuck Norris' legend continues. I mean, he's the man who won't blend! It was inevitable that people build him shrines.

3:20PM - Wall-E Short Cartoon by Pixar

Everybody and their brother's probably seen this by now, but it made me laugh every time I watched it, so I thought I'd share.
