The Portland theater scene has a wealth of homegrown talent and I don’t want to sound like I’m not proud. Buuuuuut… have you seen these amazing audition tapes from Sarantos Studios in Oak Park, IL? Sarantos has uploaded seemingly all of them onto YouTube just to rub their cultural achievements in our face. Every local […]

“Nobody Puts Iron Man in the Corner”
I would like to say I have some sort of explanation for what follows. BUT I DON’T. It’s a mash up of the final dance scene in Dirty Dancing that includes Iron Man with a little AC/DC thrown in for good measure. AND IT IS AMAZING (in a WTF?? sort of way). Now… can someone […]

Restore Stephen Baldwin!
According to the completely awesome website Restore Stephen Baldwin, Stephen Baldwin = Job. He has been forced into poverty by refusing to take acting roles he didn’t like (just like Job!), and now it’s up to the Christians of the world to save him so he can yell at people some more and still pay […]

Two Photo Galleries to Look at
Here are two random galleries for your Friday afternoon web browsing. First is the Macaroni and Cheese Flickr gallery. It’s pretty self-explanatory. I was pointed that way from the article on Dishwasher Pete’s macaroni box collection in LAB Magazine. The second, possibly unrelated gallery is from Sideshow World.

Hat tip to Joel for making me aware of the disturbing existence of Eternal Earth-Bound Pets, a service that promises to take care of your pets when the Rapture comes and Jesus hoovers up all the Good Christian Believers, leaving behind all the atheists, pets included. For $110, […]

Sean Hannity Where He Belongs
Yes, I know it’s a juvenile prank, but I admire the work ethic here. Not only is Conservative Victory comfortably nudged between Sean Hannity’s peers, but the pranksters relocated an entire stack of the paperback, just in case one is purchased as a gag gift. Well played. Link: Gawker

Hot, Sticky Lube Wrestling
For their spring fundraising event, the Oregon Sports Union Women’s Rugby League stripped down and lubed up for some lubricant-based wrestling at the Dixie Tavern on Friday. Erotic? Yes. Terrifying? It was—but only if they won’t kick my ass for saying so. In a series of rounds lasting 45 seconds each, the girls turned against […]

Holster Up Your Butt Cheeks
Today in terribly uncomfortable-looking supportive underthings: The Daily Mail brings us word of The Biniki “butt bra,” which boosts the curves of those afflicted with assless-ness. You are intended to wear pants over it, and to experience irritated impatience every time you need to pee. Starting at just $20! Nice. (More fashion, for serious, on […]

Squirrelly Squirrels
Last year around this time, I was riding my bike to work when a squirrel fell out of a tree onto my front wheel. It sorta bounced off the tire and ran away. Two years ago, around this time, I was sitting outside on a friend’s patio when a squirrel fell out of a tree […]
