Law & Order: VD

Most definitely the funniest thing I've seen all day - if not all week!
"In the criminal justice system, you're considered especially gorgeous."

Wasn't the world just waiting for Law & Order: Special Victim's Unit Valentine's Day Cards?

The King - NFL Historian?

You know a company has confidence in the ads it's putting out when it dedicates an entire website to the display of said ads (See Starburst).

I'm pretty sure you've all seen the brilliant Burger King spots - those with The King superimposed over NFL highlights of the last decade... If not, or if you're just craving more (it IS The King, after all), click below to check them out...



They've even got the Shula - Cough! Cough! Dolphins suck! (Sorry, something caught in my windpipe...) spot.

James Lipton does "PopoZao"

You know - it's been a while since I bashed the tandem that I playfully refer to as "Dub-T" (a.k.a. "The Trainwreck" - Britney and Kevin), but today is a special occasion.

For those of you who haven't heard the clusterfuck that is K-Fed's first single, "PopoZao," please enjoy this version, brought to us by Conan O'Brien, James Lipton (host of Bravo's "Inside The Actor's Studio"), and GorillaMask.net:

Does everybody remember the Emerald Nuts commercial from last year?

It was the one where the father told his kid that there were no more Emerald Nuts, when all of a sudden, every other "lie" he's told her comes to life: Santa Claus, a Unicorn, and even the Easter Bunny.

Well, one character didn't make the cut, and he's PISSED!

We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our heads. So, I'm not fat. I'm just really intelligent, and my head couldn't hold any more, so it started filling up the rest of me!

If you were watching this past Saturday's SNL, you were treated to the latest Digital Short by this team of geniuses - "#4: Young Chuck Norris."

Kevin Bacon & Chris Penn, Footloose

Hollywood has lost another big guy this week, as actor Chris Penn was found dead in his apartment.

Personally, I was a big fan of Chris - he always had the best sidekick/supporting roles. I'm sure you'll remember him when he was thin as Willard in Footloose. And who could forget his role as Nice Guy Eddie in Resevoir Dogs?

What's your theme song?

It's very rare that I put up these cheezy (yes, I know how to spell) little web apps, but I was so intrigued by the responses from this one that I decided to put it up here, and see what ya'll get when you give it a shot.

Clicking the image below will take you to the Jukebox of Your Life. Enter your birth date into the boxes, and click on the flag corresponding with the music charts you wish to reference. The jukebox will tell you the #1 song on your date of birth! Try again, and plug in the date for your 18th birthday. This is supposed to be the "Theme song of your life." Give it a whirl:



By the way, my songs are:

February 20, 1977:
New Kid In Town - The Eagles

February 20, 1995:
Take A Bow - Madonna

Pretty cool... Let's see some of yours...

Torture

Look up the word "torture" in Webster's dictionary, and here's what you'll find:

Main Entry: tor·ture
Pronunciation: 'tor-ch&r
Function: noun
  1. anguish of body or mind : AGONY
  2. something that causes agony or pain
  3. the infliction of intense pain (as from burning, crushing, or wounding) to punish, coerce, or afford sadistic pleasure
  4. distortion or overrefinement of a meaning or an argument : STRAINING
  5. see picture below


Ok, so #5 isn't really in there...

You just KNOW there's some sort of force field separating the two... Zzzzt!

"LOST Rhapsody"

I'm sure you've all seen the Dark Side of Oz, where you pair up the video from The Wizard of Oz with the audio from Pink Floyd's epic masterpiece, Dark Side of the Moon... You haven't? Well, here's what you do:

Stick in your favorite copy of Oz. Before you hit PLAY on the DVD/VCR (you still have a VCR?) stick in your copy of Dark Side. Hit PLAY on the CD (Dear God I hope you're not attempting this on a cassette tape), and pause immeidately, so the first track doesn't start, but is ready. Now you can hit PLAY on Oz. When the MGM lion roars for the THIRD time, hit PLAY on the CD, so that the audio starts. Sit back, and enjoy the magic.

My ADD has gotten the best of me. I almost forgot what I was actually posting about. Apparently, "Weird" Al Yankovic is just as big a fan of LOST as we are... Check out how well his version of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody pairs up with the storyline from LOST:



Actually, it's the same lyrics as the original, just at a different pace. And, nobody made a LOST compilation to Queen's version...

Everybody Wants Some!

Much like those who have come before me - MarkMS (thanks Mark!) and Babylon - I too have been gifted with the power of invites to try Windows Live Messenger. And like those predecessors, I feel it would be only right to distribute mine (all 5 of them) in the same manner.

So, here goes. First five (5) comments requesting an invitation to try this new, fresh, sleek, updated version a classic will recive said invitation.

O' Cripy, Where Art Thou?

Ok, I'm a dog lover. I've had dogs all my life, and I couldn't imgine the pain of having one run away or go missing.

That being said, if you name your dog Cripy, don't you deserve to lose your dog?



Let's analyze, shall we?

  1. You named your dog after a strength/strain of marijuana. (Or maybe the dog is actually crippled/handicapped? One leg missing? Either way, it's just WRONG!)

  2. Assuming you DID name your dog after pot, you spelled Crippie WRONG! The way you spelled it should be pronounced Cry-Pee. (Oops - maybe they ARE looking for Cry-Pee? Damn!)

  3. Please take note that these posters were hung on a Walgreen's wall. Said Walgreen's backs up to a trailer park (not to alienate anybody, but we all know where this was going...)

If, by chance, anybody does find "Cripy," and is not violently harmed by this scared, confused dog, please call the number on the poster. Tell them that Cripy's gone, and care for the dog in a loving, caring home.

And, for the love of God, change the dog's fucking name!

(A huge thanks to TrippMD for remembering to take this picture, as I actually forgot! Must've been too much "cripy" back in the day...)

I woke up this morning to SportsCenter, as I usually do, and all of a sudden, something clicked inside of me.

Oh shit! What have I done?

While I was away on my cruise, the Chicago Bears CLINCHED the NFC North Championship AND the first round bye in the playoffs! I didn't post about it...

THE Way To Start Your Day

So, I was strolling the aisles of the NEW Super Target ('Tar-JAY' for those in the know) over at Sawgrass Mills. I call Super Target "The Obscure Grocer," because you find things at Super Target that you just don't find anywhere else. And I'm not talking generic, bullshit products.

Seriously - who else carries Boo Berry year round?

Blame The Juicy Goodness

Starburst has been on a Burger King-like roll with their commercials lately.

First, there was the Baja Fiesta, with the Mariachi band partying in the dude's mouth. They followed that one with the slingshot shot of lemony goodness. Then, last night, we were treated to the latest spot, featuring the klepto.

It really IS Juicy Goodness!

Thankfully, they've begun to put these ads online. The "Klepto" spot isn't there quite yet, but the others are, and they are bloody hilarious! Click below to enjoy:

The Lonely Island

Ok, I promise this will be my last Lazy Sunday post (at least until they come out with Lazy Monday), but in the words of Babylon, we need to "Thank The Maker."

Obviously, we're talking about a different level of Maker here, but we need to give credit where it's due.

The comedy group 'The Lonely Island,' is responsible for Lazy Sunday. The group consists Andy Samberg (he of Lazy Sunday fame), Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone. In fact, I'll let them tell you about themselves, directly from their website:
The Lonely Island is a group of filmmakers located in Los Angeles, CA New York. They have recently joined the cast and writing staff of Saturday Night Live.

The group was founded in 2001 by Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone and Andy Samberg. The three have been friends since attending junior high and high school together in Berkeley, CA. After high school they parted ways for college (Akiva to UCSC majoring in film, Andy to UCSC followed by NYU Film and Jorma graduated from UCLA Theater.) Eventually they all landed in an apartment in Los Angeles where they resumed filming comedy shorts and christened themselves (and their apartment) 'The Lonely Island'. They have been collectively writing, directing and acting in projects ever since and are frequently joined by their friend Chester Tam and others.

At any rate, click on the image below to go visit the guys. They've got some really funny shit (skits and whatnot) on their site - well worth your five minutes:

Clocky vs. BlowFly

I am NOT a morning person.

Sometimes the threat of Paris defiling the carpet one more time isn't enough incentive to get me rolling in the morning. So, it's not so easy to see why I'm counting the days until I can chase Clocky around my room. Put simply, I think this thing is just too cool.

But wait! Clocky has competition!

Meet BlowFly:



BlowFly is like the red-headed step-child of Clocky. Imagine what you'd get if you crossed Clocky with a Golden Snitch. That's BlowFly. This thing flies around your room making horrible noises until you catch it and bring it down to its base...

And for those of you who have no idea what Clocky is, here's your scoop:
