&lt;p&gt;There’s an article on pranksters in the new Reader’s Digest that features John Hargrave, Tom Mabe, Streeter Seidell, and me.  We spent hours posing for an &lt;a href="http://media.rd.com/rd/images/rdc/mag1004/meet-the-madmen-of-pranks-inc-01-af.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;elaborate group shot&lt;/a&gt;, and then the photographer Andrew Brusso took some individual ones as well.  I usually get annoyed when a photographer wants to take “comedy” photos and have me hold something cliche like a rubber chicken, but Andrew knew how to take a “comedy” photo that also looks fucking cool.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.mrcharlietodd.com/post/439428278</link><guid>http://www.mrcharlietodd.com/post/439428278</guid><pubDate>Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:17:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Updog - Comixed</title><description>&lt;img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz11s1zXB91qz7ebao1_r1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://comixed.com/2010/03/08/4-koma-comic-strip-updog/" target="_blank"&gt;Updog - Comixed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.mrcharlietodd.com/post/437196990</link><guid>http://www.mrcharlietodd.com/post/437196990</guid><pubDate>Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:24:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Wow.

&lt;p&gt;I’m curious how it happens.  Are you somehow tricked into giving away your password at a bogus login page?  My friends who have been hacked all claim they have no idea what they did.&lt;/p&gt;
