South Carolina is On Fire!

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Guess who’s not going to be vice president? That’s right– South Carolina governor, Mark Sanford. The state of South Carolina should be oh-so proud, with Sanford doing his best Lauren Caitlin Upton impression. Kudos to Keith Olbermann’s Countdown for this brilliant mashup.

“Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil” (Loren Bouchard, H. Jon Benjamin) - perhaps one of the funniest shows ever to air on [adult swim]. Already done with its first season, and perhaps already done with its last season - it looks like [adult swim] may not pick “Lucy” up for a second season. Perhaps because it is a little too controversial at times: DJ Jesus (the second coming) and his love interest Lucy (the Daughter of the Devil) live the 20-something hipster life with their friend Judas, while Lucy’s father makes regular attempts to overtake the world. Plus a never-ending supply of priest jokes.

The credits of “Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil” are funnier than an entire season of “Family Guy.”

DIY: Transfer Tattoos

Monday, June 9th, 2008

I recently started screwing-around with Papilio Temporary Tattoo paper. Making my own transfer tattoos with a desktop printer.

The first tattoo experiment: making a “Petunia” dancing girl tattoo, from The Adventures of Pete & Pete.

And Yes. I am fascinated with this 90’s Nickelodeon TV show.

Talk about using every cliché in the book…

Kick ass! If somebody tries to stop the march to democracy we will seek them out and kill them! We must be tougher than hell! This Vietnam stuff…it’s not even close! It is a mindset! We can’t send that message! It’s an excuse to prepare us for the withdrawal! This is a series of moments and this is one of them! Our will is being tested but we are resolute! We have a better way! Stay strong! Stay the course! Kill them! Be confident! Prevail! We are going to wipe them out! We are not blinking!

I’m Seven and I’m Better Than You…

Such was the life for Landon Shuffett– now 13, and still crushing out opponents. Take a gander…the Tiger Woods of pool, anyone?

Earth Day!

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

Yes, today’s the day. Take a shorter shower, ride your bike to work, and arrive late and sweaty with shampoo residue still in your hair. Or you could just watch this clip from the Daily Show– Jon Stewart is always down to put Mother Earth in her place.

And I’ll have a vanilla . . . one of the ‘vanilla bullshit’ things. You know, whatever you want . . . some ‘vanilla bullshit latte cappa-thing’. You know, whatever you got. I don’t care.

MILF Island

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Last week’s episode of NBC’s “30 Rock” featured a fictitious reality TV show called “MILF Island” (clip below).

“Holy Hot Mamas!
But who will be the final Mommy You’d Like to . . . you know . . . ?
Twenty MILFs, fifty eighth grade boys, and no rules!
And tonight . . . one winner!
Welcome to MILF Island!”

clip:

And NBC has already come through with the goods:
MILF Island T-Shirts!

Oh Adobe, You’ve Done It Again

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Yesterday Adobe released their Adobe Media Player (AMP).

It has a nice iTunes Store feel to it, but without having to buy anything - TV shows, podcasts, movie shorts, all free and all playing smoothly. I recommend you download it (it’s free!).

Also, this is perhaps the smoothest-running 1.0 version of anything I’ve ever used (apparently bug-free).

Suck it, Windows Media Player!

Well, That Didn’t Work Out As Planned…

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

As CollegeHumor.com says, “So what if it was their second date? She was the one!

Ya gotta feel bad for this guy…but at least he got a free beer!

Dude, That’s Some Good $#!t

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Check out this hilarious clip of a reporter unknowingly getting high while he does a story on the marijuana and cocaine burning behind him!

[update from Heywood]: According to you a YouTube comment, this is a clip from a British TV comedy called ‘Drop the Dead Donkey‘. Still; pretty freakin funny.

You Might Be a Redneck Consumer

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Dom DeLuise has his own line of seasonings.

Paul Newman has is own damn aisle in the grocery store.

And now Jeff Foxworthy has released his own line of beef jerky.

Saw it in the store and bought a bag. A note to the potential consumer: opening the bag smelled like a giant barbeque fart.

Suggestions for better marketing taglines for this product:
Stale comedy premise, fresh beef jerky!
A taste so great, you’ll beat your wife!
If this is your dinner, you just might be a redneck.
As seen on COPS!
Red meat, red states, red necks.
Free Skynyrd T-shirt offer inside.
It’s like a trailer park in your mouth!
Now another reason why you’ll see Jeff Foxworthy at a gas station!

Dick Vitale Is A VERY Sweaty Man.

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

I took this screenshot after last night’s UNC-Duke men’s basketball game. Take special note of Dick Vitale’s hyperhidrotic sweat glands… I mean, who sweats through his own tie?

In addition to the mispelling, what a pertinent set of statistics for Fox News to be displaying…
