Have You Heard? About the Bird?

If this isn't the Second Coming of a Rick Roll, I don't know what is:

and, the absolute best part of the episiode:

EVERYBODY knows that the Bird is the Word!

Revenge, Soap, and Milkshakes

It takes something like this to get me back into the blogospheres...

(Let me preface this by saying that the videos below are worth EVERY second of your time - you WILL NOT laugh harder for quite some time - or at least the next 10 minutes.)

As I've blogged about before, Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon have had a little "feud," shall we say, going on over the years. Matt has been invited as a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live countless times over the past few years, only to be shuffled off stage as Jimmy conveniently "runs out of time..."

So a little while back, Jimmy's girlfriend, Sarah Silverman, presented Jimmy with a music video she had produced just for him, to let him in on a little something that had been going on in her personal life. Here's that video (as sent to me by Sammy, Ariel, Heather, my mom, and several others):

"She's f*cking Matt Damon!"

Fast forward to last night... Jimmy took the opportunity of a lifetime - his cushy post-Oscar telecast - to deliver a little revenge. And as we all know from the Klingon proverb, "Revenge is a dish best served cold." Here's Jimmy's video retaliation (fucking CLASSIC!):

"He's f*cking Ben Affleck!"

Seriously - that one is like a who's-who of A-listers, right? Like a We Are The World for Gen-Y!

Before I leave you with that, I've got a few other thoughts that have come across my scattered brain lately:

Did you know that there's a difference between a Lotion Dispenser and a Soap Dispenser?

Neither did I - until I had a strange visit to Bed, Bath, and Beyond recently. Part of decorating my new house has been the accessorizing of the bathrooms. I bought a nice looking (and still masculine) set for my bathroom, which included a dispenser that wouldn't dispense. Upon my attempt to exchange said dispenser for a working model, this tasty bit of knowledge was dropped on me. The solution offered by the store manager: "Just dilute it with some water - it'll work fine."

It does, but I still feel a little cheated with my watery-soapy-goo-dispenser...

Can anybody tell me the difference between Durmot Mulroney and Dylan McDermott?
How about Taye Diggs and Tyson Beckford?
And Jon's wondering how to tell the difference between Michael Madsen and Tom Sizemore...
I'm just sayin...

I haven't plugged in my PC in over two months (in fact, it's still sitting in my trunk) - and I'm OK with that... LOVE my MacBook and my iMac...

I'm SO happy to have LOST back!

Finally, a brilliant clip from this past Saturday Night Live (the first back from the strike), and an homage to Daniel Day Lewis' Oscar winner, There Will Be Blood:

"I drink YOUR MILKSHAKE!"

Thanks for your patience... I'll be back much sooner next time!

An iconic moment...

I really love Hulu.

Groundhog Day

No, I'm not making reference to the classic (and hilarious) Bill Murray movie about getting a second (or third, or fourth, or fifteenth chance to do your life over), although any post would be lucky to have such a topic.

No, instead, I'm referring to the date of Groundhog Day - February 2. February 2, 2008 to be exact. It can't come fast enough.

That my friends, is the tentative date for the LOST Season 4 premiere!

Need a fix in the meantime? Well, you've got a few choices.

First up - the official LOST site @ ABC.com. What's there, you ask? A great NEW video - the Orchid Station Orientation. This one just begins to delve into a little bit of time shift!!

Need more? For the 13 weeks prior to the start of the season, ABC is treating us to Mobisodes - both on cellphones and on a sub-site at ABC.com. Known as the Missing Pieces, these little clips fill in some blanks that we may not have thought about before - just whetting the appetite that much more... (Mobisodes 1 and 2 are up now, 3 is coming Monday.)

Finally, I was playing around a little more on Hulu, and found this great SNL clip, which got me thinking again about the upcoming season:

Now quick - somebody get me to February - NOW!

Hulu

This morning, I FINALLY got in on the private beta for Hulu - the new streaming web service from Universal Media (NBC, amongst others)... Thought I'd try to give it a whirl by embedding this clip from the ALWAYS hilarious 30 Rock:

Seriously, how can you NOT love Katrina Bowden (oh, and the show too.. yeah... that's it...)

This can actually be really fun... You can watch an entire episode of a show, embed that episode, or take your own clip from that episode... Here's my first attempt - one of the funniest scenes, from one of the funniest shows on TV - The Office:
