Did I mention that I’m moving? Well, I am, and it’s pretty much all I can concentrate on. One of the stress-items is the fact that I have two cats. One of them is really mellow, but my male cat Bruce is really emotional and fussy, and I’m worried about him dealing with the transition, […]

Dick Move!
Sure, they have PSAs about everything from fire safety to steroid abuse — but where’s the PSA for one of the nation’s most annoying annoyances, the “Dick Move”? It’s RIGHT HERE. (By the way, choosing a woefully unqualified woman for a Vice President in order to scoop up the Hillary vote? That’s a dick move.) […]
Good Nearly Afternoon, Television!
You want old episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Smallville, and Veronica Mars, right? Then hie thee to the new TheWB.com! And if you need some morally impotent reading for today, I would suggest visiting the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia blog. Remember Marcel, the contestant from Top Chef who put foam on everything, […]
Confucius Says: The Chinese Think Fortune Cookies are Strange… In Bed
Considering how ubiquitous fortune cookies are in American Chinese restaurants, you can understand why I was troubled to learn that they aren’t actually a Chinese invention.According to today’s New York Times food section, the cookies were actually invented by Japanese bakers and imported to America by immigrants. When Chinese people are confronted by the cookies, […]
“Orangina” Does Not Rhyme with “Vagina”…
… however, it’s often hilarious to order an Orangina in such a way that it does rhyme with vagina. Yes, I’m immature. That being said, check out this commercial for Orangina that currently runs in Britain after 9 pm — because, yes, IT’S THAT DIRTY. Or maybe it isn’t. Just depends on how you feel […]
Dead Ferrets and the Pursuit of Excellence.
IT HAPPENED AGAIN LAST NIGHT. I don’t know who made this decision–and I can’t decide if it’s an excellent decision or a terrible one–but someone at OBP/PBS has decided to air a documentary called Ferrets: The Pursuit of Excellence. I’ve caught snippets of it for a while now, but never the whole thing; somehow I […]
T-Pain’s New Music Video
Did you ever think you’d see a Juggalo again? And in an R&B video no less? Just check out T-Pain’s new incredibly weird, cheesy, and awesome video for Can’t Believe It and see for yourself: I’ve had to watch this about ten times in the past twenty-four hours. It immediately reminded me of this old […]
Good Morning, News!
Hillary Clinton gives an impassioned speech in favor of Obama, in what was probably a futile attempt to get her 25 remaining supporters to switch teams. And don’t miss “National Security Night” tonight at the DNC when former President Clinton and Joe Biden act all tough and sexy. Three U.S. soldiers admit to executing four […]
Meet the Mighty (Transgendered) Isis!
You’ve undoubtedly heard the buzz that Tyra Banks is introducing yet another twist to her aging series America’s Next Top Model: for this cycle one of the gals is transgender. Everybody say hello to Isis, who will certainly stir up some controversy on the show — or maybe none at all. She’s certainly just as […]
Steve Guttenberg’s Steakhouse!
I only love two things in this shitty world: steak and actor Steve Guttenberg. And that’s why I’m crapping my pants in excitement, because these two wonderful items are finally coming together in one place — STEVE GUTTENBERG’S STEAKHOUSE!I can’t wait to try his “Three Men and a Little Lady-fingers.” Mmmmmmm…
Good Morning, News!
Michelle Obama spoke to the Democratic Convention last night: “Barack doesn’t care where you’re from, or what your background is, or what party–if any–you belong to. That’s not how he sees the world. He knows that thread that connects us, our belief in America’s promise, our commitment to our children’s future, is strong enough to […]
Destination: Light-Years Beyond Your Imagination!
I’m ashamed to admit it, but despite 20 or so years spent longingly staring at its VHS cover art, I’ve never seen Krull, 1983’s film that promises “a world light-years beyond your imagination.” (If Wikipedia is to be believed–and why shouldn’t it be?–Krull was also supposed to be an official Dungeons & Dragons adaptation, until, […]
