Fun With International Incidents

Man, Hugo Chavez is batshit crazy. He’s clearly not stupid, because he takes Pat Robertson’s dumbfuck remarks about assasinating him and turns them into evidence that the U.S. is preparing an invasion of Venezuela, but still. It’d be almost amusing to watch him flail about all the plots that are coming from the dark corners ...

10.5.2 Update: The Scheduling Move Of DOOOOM 2

From the fine folks over at the The Futon Critic, an update on the forthcoming sequel to my favorite bad TV movie of all time: 10.5 APOCALYPSE (NBC) – The Peacock has quietly bumped the “10.5” sequel from its November sweeps schedule. Originally slated for November 27-28, the project will now air sometime in 2006. ...

Can’t Sleep, Clown’ll Eat Me 4

This can’t be good. I’m starting to fall into patterns from last summer where I would be up until 4 in the morning, then stumbled out of bed at noon for a bit, looked for a job, then fell asleep on the couch until about 5 or 6, from which point I then could not ...

Signs You’re Overdue For A Haircut

When your cat decides your hair dangling over the back of the couch is a chew toy, it’s time for a haircut. Bad kitty.

I Am Old 5

I’m not sure what makes me feel older in this story: The fact that the actress who played Blossom has a child, or the fact that the actress who played Blossom has a PhD in Neuroscience. Oh wait, yeah, definitely the latter. And if you’re thinking, “Ew, I can’t believe you watched that dreck,” I ...

I Think The Cold Has Frozen Their Brains Solid

The recent announcement of the 2005 Ig Nobel Awards for amusingly questionable science was a fun one to read about. I mean really, how often do you get to see a (real) Nobel Prize winner dressed as a giant beer? The fake dog testicles and penguin-poop velocity calculations got all the headlines, but this one ...

On Behalf of Baseball Fans Everywhere (Except New York) 2

Yankees suck!

Ticka Tocka Ticka Tocka Oye Oye Oye!

You know it’s been a good Oktoberfest when you can’t even talk because you were sitting next to the speakers blasting oomaph music and had to shout so much all night that your voice is completely obliterated….yet you want more beer.

Misleading And Somewhat Nonsensical Headline Of The Day

Paramount Classics Chiefs Pushed Off Mountain. There’s absolutely no explanation given in the story for the headline, but I’m pretty sure it refers to the mountain in the logo shown in the top left corner. Perhaps I just don’t read Variety enough with its silly abbreviations and nicknames, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard ...

Hooray! 2

I may be the only person in Southern California who gives a fuck, but YAY! Hockey’s back! And while Sidney Crosby’s getting all the attention, this Ovechkin guy the Caps got their hands on doesn’t look to shabby, either. And on an only marginally related note: Fuck the Yankees. Man, if the Angels could pull ...
