“It would make a good epitaph…”

“It would make a good epitaph for Billy Pilgrim… and for me, too.”

THE BIG TEN NETWORK_and the big time

August 12, 2010

You know how I knew when the Big Ten Network had become “big time?” It wasn’t when they muscled Comcast.  It wasn’t when Nebraska jumped ship to join the party.  No, it was when I first stumbled across Big Ten Network branded Yellow Jackets

Are you kidding me?

KNIGHT RIDER_tonight I watched some

August 11, 2010

Season 3, Episode 4, Knights of the Fast Lane, to be exact.  And I was pleased to see Hasselhoff doing more of his own stunts.

The man is as awkward as ever

And wearing more mascara.

It really makes his eyes pop

Though the episode took an unexpected turn at the end… when Michael plays “catch” with Kitt.

A good laugh was had by all.

TOROSAURUS_sorry, you never existed

August 6, 2010

More sad news for Torosaurus fans this week:  it turns your favorite dinosaur species never really existed.  Sorry.  Instead, what we thought were Torosaurus’s were actually just old Triceratops.  Soooooo… 0kay, I’ll admit it:  I never actually heard of Torosaurus…. and it actually seems rather ludicrous that nobody ever looked into this relationship before.  BUT I’ll also admit that I’m still pretty bitter about this BRONTOSAURUS HORSE-SHIT and to see another dino species cut out of the history books just makes me feel…. well… old.  And outdated.  A little obsolete.   I mean, must I question everything I’ve learned?  Why can’t science get it right the first time?!  Why make me feel so stupid, science?!

Left - Triceratops Right - Old Triceratops (formerly Torosaurus)

It just proves my point: Nobody really knows what the hell they’re talking about so you might as well just say whatever the f*ck you want.

An artist interpretation of the Triceratops's ability; Being awesome.

YOUNG VAN DAMME_crap I stumbled across

July 28, 2010

So I came across this video the other day (and suddenly BLACKMAGIC ROLLERCOASTER is one of my favorite blogs.)  Them Basterds is clever.

Challenging the Crocodile, are you?

July 28, 2010

never smile at a crocodile
no, you can’t get friendly with a crocodile
don’t be taken in by his welcome grin
he’s imagining how well you’d fit within his skin.

THE MAI SHI_music I stumbled across

July 14, 2010

I’ve been in a wonderously good mood lately (yes, too good to blog.)  And this song just makes me smile (for reasons too lame to explain.)  The band is The Mae Shi.  The album is HLLLYH.  Special thanks to my newly appointed music adviser for turning me on to them (Brandon — talking about you.)  Enjoy…



THIS ROBOT_is having a bad programming day, okay?

July 12, 2010

Listen, and understand. This robot is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.   And…  this is the worst f*cking blog post ever.  I can’t believe I just posted a NY Times video. At least I tried…

LEMON SUN_a band I love

June 23, 2010

Music is amazing. In an instant a song, or a melody, or whatever, can take you back days, months, years, whenever. Such is the case with “Same Old Ground” by Lemon Sun – a band easily in my top 3. Hearing this song takes me back, it takes me back to a place and time when I was happier… happier with my life, myself, and the future ahead of me. That’s a place I want to get back to (emotionally, not necessarily 2008) because I haven’t felt like myself since. Listening to this song, to this band, is a good start. Enjoy…

F*CKED_ the gulf is

Just in case you were feeling good about the human race today…
