So when I made the decision to do this, I decided I would sometimes take a break from the news of the day and instead do some pop culture related stuff. Because I love pop culture and, let’s be honest, Brendan only has a passing familiarity with it. Plus, I have a minor in Film and it’s not doing any… Read more »
“Some other stories are saying that, in the future, I may not be able to retain what is known as my show’s intellectual property. I may not be able to retain it, yeah. [Audience boos.] No, look on the bright side. Isn’t it great to live in a country where a cigar-smoking dog puppet and a bear that masturbates are… Read more »
This clip does a better job of absolutely burying Jay Leno than even Jimmy Kimmel could — and it’s all from Jay’s own mouth, six years ago. You gotta watch the whole thing. The last 35 seconds are the best part. “I don’t want to see anybody ever have to go through that again.” Oh really? Maybe someone should send… Read more »
2009 may have been Taylor Swift’s best year ever, but Beyonce had one of the best years of all time. OF ALL TIME!!!
In a shocking oversight, I neglected to blog anything — or tweet anything, or even post something on Facebook — about “Palindrome Day” on Saturday (01/02/2010). I have failed as a nerd! Luckily, I’ll have a chance to make up for it in a little less than 22 months, on 11/02/2011. (Or I suppose I could move to Europe, and… Read more »
So, reading the BBC, and the record industry position on illegal file sharing. The long and short of it is, the record industry association is shocked that illegal file sharing isn’t decreasing. Though, given the economy and the expansion of broadband, I think they should probably just be happy it isn’t increasing exponentially. And then to further demonstrate that they… Read more »
This afternoon, as I was driving home from work, I was listening to NPR’s “All Things Considered,” as per usual. They’d just finished up a story about Afghanistan or some such thing, when, out of the blue, host Melissa Block stated, as the lead-in to a new story: “Bob Dylan once called Liam Clancy ‘the best ballad singer I’ve ever… Read more »
But Gandalf Ralph Wilson lifted up his arms and called once more in a clear voice: “Stand, Men of the West[ern New York]! Stand and wait! This is the hour of doom. … The realm of Jauron is ended!“
If I were to rank the TV shows I spend the most time watching, Sesame Street — or, as Loyette calls it, “Fi-Fi!!!” — would probably be second only to “assorted live sporting events” (if that even counts as a show). Such is the life of a parent of an almost-two-year-old. 🙂 As a result, I tend to get random… Read more »
Bwahahaha: Six pregnant sheep belonging to a Protestant farmer from County Tyrone have been daubed with Irish tricolours in an apparent sectarian attack. The sheep had been left to graze in an isolated field near Ardboe when their coats were covered in green and orange paint to resemble a tricolour. According to the farmer, who does not want to be… Read more »
