Another great blog story...

...this one is about an almost stolen camera. I mean, it IS stolen... kinda... but not really. Maybe you should just read about it here. Fascinating.

If you have a moment to spare...

...please read this short essay from Christopher Monks. I won't tell you much... but it involves Star Jones, some personal letters, and a job interview gone wrong.

P.S. If you don't laugh out loud reading this... I don't want to know you. Consider it a "test" for our future friendship.

MORE COWBELL!

Who would have thought that a SNL sketch could affect a nation like this.
You can get your "MORE COWBELL" T-shirts here.

Will Ferrell is a cowbell-playing member of Blue Oyster Cult... Christopher Walken plays legendary music producer Bruce Dickenson... and Jimmy Fallon annoyingly giggles throughout the sketch.

Urban Ninja?

This guy calls himself an "urban ninja". I call him a future candidate for knee/back surgery. Maybe it just my jealousy though... I've always wanted to do a sideways flip of the roof of an apartment.

How many lonely nights does this take...

Impressive dog training here. This "lab mix" would have made one helluva "Vincent Vega".

Dance Dance Revolution Master!

I have these friends who play "Dance Dance Revolution" and totally get into it! I'm sure this kid would be welcomed with open arms!

Ricky Gervais (circa 1984)???

Apparently Ricky was in a band in 1984. Here he is faced with his former self on a MTV-esque show. He's got a bit of the "Flock of Seagulls" hair. But can anyone place who he sounds like? Cy Curnin of "The Fixx" perhaps?

Ricky Gervais makes me laugh...

Ricky Gervais invites you to meet Karl Pilkington. An associate with a penchant (thanks anonymous) for giving his raw opinion on any subject... at any moment. Gervais' laugh (or cackle) makes me howl everytime.

Crispin Glover's "What Is It?"

Usually I try to come up with something witty to say about a video. But this thing is just too fucking strange for words. Insanity... thy name is "Crispin". Watch a preview of this twisted movie here.

Steve Martin Punches Lorne Michaels?

Okay, so I just got around to watching Saturday Night Live (hosted by Steve Martin), and loved the opening segment that had Martin going to great lengths to keep his hosting record intact. At one point, Martin walks past longtime Executive Producer Lorne Michaels and is supposed to punch him as he suggests another (non-Martin) host.

The punch looked so real I Tivo'd it back several times... and found that Martin actually did punch Michaels. Was it an accident? Was it payback some thirty years in the making? You be the judge... my video evidence can be found here.

I wonder if this worked...

When young star obsess...

UPDATE: SEE A SUPER CLOSE UP OF "CHOPPERS" HERE!

Okay, Hillarie Duff has been in the spotlight for some time now. So imagine my surprise when I saw this picture of her brand-new choppers! Not to mention, a brand new (and alien-like) smile!
Doesn't she look like Jeff Bridges in "Starman", clumsily trying to emulate a human smile? And by the way, in all the years she's been around, did you ever hear anyone say, "Gosh, that Hillarie Duff would be super cute... IF she'd just fix her fucking teeth!"

I mean, take a look at the "old" set:
Was this really a "trade up"?

Update on the Britney story...

So Britney admits that she stayed in her gigantic SUV while her bodyguard went to get coffee. She also admits that she took her son into the front seat with her. But when she's photographed driving with her son in her lap... she offers this excuse:
"Today I had a horrifying, frightful encounter with the paparazzi while I was with my baby. Because of a recent incident when I was trapped in my car without my baby by a throng of paparazzi, I was terrified that this time the physically aggressive paparazzi would put both me and my baby in danger. I instinctively took measures to get my baby and me out of harm's way, but the paparazzi continued to stalk us, and took photos of us which were sold to the media.

Hey, I got a question Britney? Did the paparazzi open your door? Were they tugging at your baby's arm/legs? Look at the size of this vehicle people:It seems like there's more than enough room to put your kid in his car seat WITHOUT EVEN OPENING YOUR DOOR?!? This is where Mrs. Federline needs to take a class in risk management. Is it more dangerous to have your kid's picture taken (without you getting paid for it)? Or is it more dangerous to be in Los Angeles' traffic with your kid's head sitting inches from a potential airbag explosion?

Nickname for George?

Now I know why conservatives called Clinton "Slick Willy"... it was because he could actually speak. Here's the antithesis of a "good speaking-type guy". In montage form for your entertainment purposes.

If you liked that "Shining" trailer redo...

...then you'll LOVE this "Sleepless in Seattle" one. Amazing work!

Made me laugh...

Britney not just "acting" stupid...

...now how long have car seats for children been around? Okay. And how many times have you heard that airbags can kill a child in the front seat? Uh huh. And how many times have you been told that it's not smart to marry a scumbag wanna-be rapper? Oh... I'm off the point here. Check out these photos of Britney and Sean (her baby) out in busy Los Angeles traffic.

I find it funny that someone with this judgement also said this:
SPEARS: Honestly, I think we should just trust our president in every decision he makes and should just support that, you know, and be faithful in what happens.

CARLSON: Do you trust this president?

SPEARS: Yes, I do.

Awesome Britney!

The power of not getting laid.

These dudes built a scale model fighter jet that can reach speeds of 280 miles-per-hour. Sadly though, it gets absolutely ZERO chicks per gallon.

A "MUST SEE" IF THERE EVER WAS ONE!

The title is simple: "Heavy Metal Parking Lot". Get ready to be transported to 1986 (20 years ago?)... outside of the Capitol Center in Maryland... just hours before Judas Priest took the stage. All of your favorite "metal" stereotypes are here, preserved forever in their Jeff Spicoli-like splendor. A superb time-capsule from the 1980's. You can almost smell the Aqua Net.

AIDS helps you lose weight?

Here's an ad from 1982 for a "Dexitrim-type" product called "AYDS". Watching this, I couldn't help but think that Joe Piscopo was gonna jump into frame at any moment.

I wonder if this is where Trey Parker & Matt Stone got the idea for their "Jared has Aids" episode.

Conan hits another "home run"!

If only SNL could write something HALF this funny once a season. And these guys do this shit five nights a week YO!

Spike Jones is a genius...

...sure we all know this fact NOW. But back in 1997, Jones made this 1980's inspired commercial for Levi's Jeans. How many times have you seen this "environmental music beat" joke since?

You got the disease?

...then I've got this. My brother recently let me know that he drops by the blog... so here's one for you Ryan. They're putting up a ton of video every day at YOU TUBE. It was ineviable that live performances by "The Cure" would eventually get there too. Here's Robert Smith (and company) doing "One Hundred Years". Did I mention I dressed up for three consecutive Halloween's as this dude? Man I miss that wig.

Hate Your Boss?

Do you work in a cubicle? Do you have one of those idiot, know-nothing, bad breath, nosy, noisy, nose-whistling, over-your-shoulder, vomit-inducing bosses? Then this little flash animation might just be the ticket to momentary sanity durng those moments of near rage. You can "whack" your boss with a variety of business supplies. Just don't let your boss see you trying it out.

Ladies and gentlemen "Bionic Boobs"...

...with much thanks to Mike at (shouldveaskedme.com), I've been granted the gift of video featuring some pretty amazing milk wagons.
