Is that Journey? It is Journey...!

Honestly - who's ears don't perk up at the opening notes of Journey's classic hit, Don't Stop Believin'?

Apparently singing along to the song makes the strangest of bedfellows (as evidenced in a somewhat recent episode of Family Guy). Here's a prime example:

Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Tony Romo, and Mr. Belding?

Yes, you read that right. Apparently, at a recent show by heavy metal/hair band throwback rockers Metal Skool in Cali, Romo and Dennis Haskins (Mr. Belding, of Saved By The Bell fame) jumped on stage to join the band in a rousing rendition of the classic.

Still sound too weird to be true? Here's the video!

"Just a small town girl - livin' in a lonely world...
She took the midnight train, goin' ANYwhere...
Just a city boy - born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train, goin' ANYwhere..."

The floor... It's cold!

Here it is, kiddies... The apocalypse is upon us, and Hell has frozen over... Observe:


This pic, courtesy of Gizmodo, is actually from 2005, but Mr. Jobs and Mr. Gates will indeed reconvene - this time on stage, in a No-Holds-Barred session at the D5: All Things Digital Conference on May 30
Should be very interesting...

Van Damme: The Freshmaker

Thanks to Dr. O for this little gem.

Sharp viewers out there will, no doubt, recognize this scene from Jean-Claude Van Damme's classic flick, Bloodsport. Check out this remix, in the tune of everybody's favorite commercial:



And don't forget Jean-Claude's American debut, in the break-dancin', rap-tastic classic, Breakin':



It's been a while since I laughed this hard...

Sweep The Leg

Coming soon...



Some of you already know about this... Others, not yet... You will...

I hope to have much more information after this weekend...

In fact, nothing would make me happier...

Revolution Can Be Simple!

So I started using trig yesterday... Not a bad little site... Kristin nailed it perfectly - it's the best of MySpace (Social Networking, Music) and Digg (here, called "Trigs") combined - with a pretty sharp GUI, too...

At any rate, this morning, they made it Invite Only... I've got 100+ invitations left... Anybody wants one? You know where to find me...

The Aftermath

First things first, I'd like to thank all those who came out yesterday, and those who cheered on Da Bears from afar... I appreciate all the sentiments, pre- and post-game...

I hear Arizona is beautiful this time of year... Hopefully Da Bears will be there next year, after this year's heartbreaking loss to the Colts of Indianapolis.

In fact, Super Bowl XLII will take place at the University of Phoenix/Cardinals Stadium - home of the Gators' BCS National Championship win earlier this year...

Now, on to the fun: The Commercials...

First, my top 3 (not necessarily in this order):

Class Mencia:


Rock, Paper, Scissors (Maybe we should try this one at kickball?):


Fist Bumps Are Out:


And one bonus (Don't know how we missed this one last night?):

"Quick, staring contest! You win. you always do..."
- Will Ferrell (as Robert Goulet)

Good luck to everybody on recovering from their "Super Bowl Hangovers." Pictures will be up ASAP.

Super Bowl XLI

Am I allowed to call it the Super Bowl?

I guess as long as I'm not making any money off the phrase, I won't have any problems with the NFL...

Today is the day! Today is the day I've been waiting for my whole life - Da Bears in Da Super Bowl, in Miami! Does it get any better? Only if I were actually going to the game... (Seriously - where are all of these people buying tickets for $2,500 - $4,500?)

Instead, I'm gonna spend the day with my best friends, cheering on Da Bears, and taking in Lou Malnati's Pizza and Vienna Beef Hot Dogs (shipped directly from Chicago). If I can't go to Da Bears, I'm bringing Chicago to me! :)

And to help celebrate Da Bears appearance in Super Bowl XLI, I've got a few celebrity predictions for you below... Please enjoy:

First, an original (Bob Swerski's Super Fans):


Next, my personal favorite (Bob Swerski's Super Fans - with Michael Jordan):


And, finally, a current perspective (Conan O'Brien):


And, finally, from the Manning family vaults:


Nice fucking Tango, Peyton...

Just over 8 hours to go...! I'll leave you with one last thought:

Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
Make every play, clear the way to victory!
Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
Put up a fight with a might so fearlessly!

We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation,
With your T formation.

Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
And let them know why you're wearing the crown.

You're the pride and joy,
of all Illinois.

Chicago Bears, Bear Down!
