The 4th Wall

Lately, the Dark Lord of the Sith, a.k.a. muscle man of the Galactic Empire, a.k.a. Darth Vader, has hit legendary status of breaking the proverbial "Fourth Wall." This is when characters in a screen setting (large or small) interact with the audience, or put their likeness in a scenario not expected or seen before (see also K5 or Kayfabe)

Great examples include half the script for The Family Guy, select scenes from Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, and the series finale of 80's show Newhart.

Recent Star Wars examples include the Pepsi commercials with Yoda and Chewbacca.

Back to the topic at hand, Lord Vader seems to have his hands full with some freelance work. Click the picture below to enjoy some more Empire goodness:

Bring On The ABA!

On the verge of the NBA going the way of the NHL (after this season, they need to overhaul the Collective Bargaining Agreement, or there will be an NHL-like strike), the ABA is beefing up it's roster of teams. Here are two of the newest:

First, let's visit Miami. What can we call the team?
How about the Miami Marlins?
Nope - that's taken...
How about the Miami Ice?
Nope - makes no sense.
I got it! What animal is BANNED in Miami?
How about the:

We'll call it the Florida Pitbulls so that nobody figures out it's in Miami!

OK, now Charlotte needs a team...
There's always the Charlotte Hornets?
Nope - that failed once already...
How about the Charlotte Rae's?
Nope - Tootie and Natalie wouldn't allow it...
I got it! What recent popular phrase symbolizes the spirit of the ABA and Charlotte in general?
How about the:

Bring on Lil' Jon and the Ying Yang Twins!

Wrigley STADIUM?

OK, so everybody knows that I'm a huge fan of the Cubbies (of Wrigley FIELD), and everybody knows that I'm a huge fan of Jeff Gordon (go Dad!). But unlike a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, or some Goober Grape, or even a Vick's Menthol Breathe Right Strip (does anybody remember that commercial?) there is a MAJOR problem when the two join forces...

What happened this past Tuesday was just plain bad...

Star Wars Kid

In honor of this weeks big movie opening (you didn't know there was one?), let's revisit the famed "Star Wars Kid."

Long before Numa Numa entered our world, this poor chubby kid (hey - I'm not one to speak here...) decided to film the choreography for his own light saber duel.

He didn't know anybody would see the tape.

Here he is, in all his glory, in the original, plus 4 different "remixes":

The new console will support both a new disc format and discs from Nintendo’s current console, the GameCube. Nintendo also said it would offer an add-on unit that would let the Revolution play standard DVDs. The console will feature wireless controllers, two USB ports and built-in wireless Internet access."
