Fundamentalists? Americans? Surely You Jest!
No, I don’t…and don’t call me Shirley. Can’t imagine why Muslims wouldn’t find the notion of having artillery shells fired at them from the turret of the New Testament gun anything but humorous. And before anyone cries “doctored photo,” look at the URL. That comes straight from the U.S. Marines website. Here is a link […]
The Future of TV According to Conan O’Brien
“To begin, the trend toward larger and larger televisions will continue as screens double in size every 18 months. Televisions will eventually grow so large that families will be forced to watch TV from outside their homes, peering in through the window. Random wolf attacks will make viewing more dangerous. And, just as televisions grow […]
Ok…I Give In
I feel like the only person on the internet not talking about the Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (that’d be RotS for the truly nerdy). So, avoiding spoilers, here’s my two cents: The main problem with the Star Wars movies resides in the fact that fans have damn near deified episodes IV, V, and […]
Another Medieval Attack
Since people have been attacking others with swords, it was only a matter of time before someone was shot with a longbow.
The Ill’est Motherfu@#er In a Cardigan Sweater
I hated Full House. I thought the show was horrible, but mostly I wondered why Bob Saget was playing such a saccharine character. His stand-up was and is probably some of the most raw stuff I’ve ever heard. I’m not joking. He has recorded a rap song with Jamie Kennedy and Stu Stone. If you’ve […]
Summertime
David Cornelius has written an article “Tales of Star Wars: How Return of the Jedi Changed My Life,” over at Hollywood Bitchslap. In one section he tells of how his grandma Estelle took him to see Return of the Jedi four times during the summer of ’83, and how he is reasonably sure that his […]
E-Mail Dissing
Have you ever finished an e-mail, sat back to re-read it, and thought, “Damn that’s good. I can’t believe I wrote that. [insert name here] will surely believe that I am a genius and will revere and respect me more than ever”? You then click the send button with the knowledge that you have just […]
Welcome To Wal-Mart
Although this made the news, my reaction is “uhm, ok. I’ve seen worse at 3:00 A.M. in the snack aisle.” I wonder if the store’s geriatric greeter (because they always are) offered the “shopper” a cart.
People Are Crazy….But We Already Knew That.
Why has there suddenly been several stories in the news about people being attacked with swords? I linked to this story several weeks ago. Now we have this story. I think the news story should have been fact-checked a little better, though. It claims that the man was attacked with a short Japanese sword and […]
