Classic Dennis Leary

Thursday, February 7th, 2008 by Claude

Holy crap this MTV commercial is old…but I remember it like yesterday.  Dennis Leary from 1992.  If you don’t know any of the bands he’s talking about, you are REALLY REALLY young.  (”Who are the Pogues and Jethro Tull?”) This video IS SAFE for work.

The Naughty Step is Always Serious

DUUUUUUuuuuude. PC-UK looks like my buddy/brother Dognutz. Why didn’t you tell me you got a gig, ‘Nutz?

For the record, ‘Nutz’s teeth are much better than that guy’s. You’re welcome Dog.

Stop the world…I want to get off

Friday, January 25th, 2008 by Claude

Society has just gone off the deep end.  Seriously.

People need to just unplug and read a book, talk with neighbors and just get out.  What the hell is going on?!?  A 16 year old wants to hijack a plane and smash it into a Hannah Montana concert?

From CNN.com

Authorities have charged a teenage boy who said he planned to hijack a commercial jetliner in an attempt to commit suicide, an FBI spokesman told CNN late Thursday.

The 16-year-old was taken into custody by airport police without incident on Tuesday evening after flying from Los Angeles, California, to Nashville, Tennessee, on Southwest Airlines Flight 284.

The teen wanted to crash the plane into a Hannah Montana concert in Lafayette, Louisiana, two CNN television affiliates in Nashville, WSMV and WTVF, reported, citing unnamed sources. The concert is scheduled for Friday night at the Lafayette Cajundome.

50’s Arms

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008 by Fuzz

50_roids.jpgYesterday, I purchased a bottle of “Formula 50″ Vitamin Water. For those of you who don’t know, one of Vitamin Water’s top investors is rapper 50 Cent. On the bottle of “Formula 50,” it reads,

who wouldn’t want to live large like 50? that’s just how he rolls.  he doesn’t just make albums… he makes them multi-platinum. he doesn’t just make movies… he makes them with award winning actors. he doesn’t just “work out”… he works out 7 days a week. those guns (we mean biceps) don’t come easy so it only makes sense that 50’s drink is large too. it’s packed with the key nutrients he needs to get through his day. that’s why it’s called formula 50 - genius, right? now you too can live large like 50… or at least drink like him. hey, you gotta start somewhere.

First… I was putting “[sic]” all over the place, but then quickly realized that the entire paragraph should just have a large [sic] after it. I mean, the whole thing is a mess.

Grammar aside, the real reason for this post is the sentence that reads, “those guns (we mean biceps) don’t come easy so it only makes sense that 50’s drink is large too.” That sentence kinda lost it’s punch after the reports came out inferring that 50 Cent is an avid steroid user.

From Newsday:

For many people, yesterday’s news that allegations of steroid and growth hormone use had spread from the sports world to the entertainment industry came as a surprise. According to reports, the Albany County district attorney’s office has named not only Blige but 50 Cent, Wyclef Jean, and the record producer Timbaland in an investigation into a possible steroid-peddling business.

Maybe he got hooked after he was recovering from his gunshot wounds back in the day? Nah…

Toughen Up, Chuck

If Chuck Norris is suing people for claiming he has super-human powers and that he is a big bad tough guy… then why is he on commercials touting “toughness?”

Go see Cloverfield

Sunday, January 20th, 2008 by Claude


We went to see Cloverfield today.  WOW!  A great movie.  While some may feel hesitant to see the movie because it is shot in first person (a la The Blair Witch Project), but the camera view REALLY makes the movie.  It puts you in the moment. I have seen the trailer with the Statue of Liberty head flying down the street at least 50 times, but while I watched it in the theater, my body tensed up and it really freaked me out.   J.J. Abrams is a genius.  I’m looking forward to many more fantastic movies from him (including the new Star Trek movie, which was previewed before Cloverfield). Cloverfield: 5/5 Stars!

New Mac Products

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008 by Fuzz

Today is the big day when Apple releases a whole bunch of cool new products. People are speculating that they are going to release an “ultra-portable” new MacBook. We’ll see! They always release these just in time for us to get our tax returns. ;) No new toys for me this year, though. At least, that’s what I keep telling myself.

Gimme a Break

Santas in Australia have been warned against saying, “Ho Ho Ho,” because it is “offensive to women.” They are instead instructed to say, “Ha Ha Ha.” WTF?

From Yahoo:

SYDNEY (AFP) - Santas in Australia’s largest city have been told not to use Father Christmas’s traditional “ho ho ho” greeting because it may be offensive to women, it was reported Thursday.

Sydney’s Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say “ha ha ha” instead, the Daily Telegraph reported.

One disgruntled Santa told the newspaper a recruitment firm warned him not to use “ho ho ho” because it could frighten children and was too close to “ho”, a US slang term for prostitute.

“Gimme a break,” said Julie Gale, who runs the campaign against sexualising children called Kids Free 2B Kids.

“We are talking about little kids who do not understand that “ho, ho, ho” has any other connotation and nor should they,” she told the Telegraph.

Holy crap! Kanye West’s mom died from “complications of surgery” after going in for a tummy tuck! Note to self and loved ones… live with what the good Lord gave you. Especially if you’re having second thoughts.

From CNN:

 A plastic surgeon who claimed to have operated on Kanye West’s mother before she died said he did nothing wrong, and that her death could have been caused by other medical problems.

Dr. Jan Adams told celebrity Web site TMZ that he performed a tummy tuck and breast reduction on Donda West, but that she might have died from a heart attack, pulmonary embolism, or massive vomiting.

Adams said West consulted with him over a period of four months, often changing her mind about the surgery, according to the article posted late Monday.

The Correct Answer=Who gives a isht

From the world of “Not really news”…

CNN.com says Jennifer Lopez has announced she’s pregnant at a concert in Miami.

At least she will have something to do in the next few years, as her new album has dropped off the Top 200 Charts in less than 6 weeks…which equals no more record deals.
