I added some new friends today. If you're one of those people and wonder why I added you, it's because I liked your writing or we have friends and interests in common or in kitsch_my_grits' case I just liked your picture of the cat with the chainsaw. I like it when household pets learn to use power tools. Anyway, add me back if you feel like it.

I heard Adult Swim is holding auditions for a live-action Aqua Teen Hunger Force special. I think I'd make a good Carl since I also share a love for classic rock and cream cheese stuffed jalapenos. The problem is that I'm probably too skinny to play Carl and gaining 50 lbs in two weeks might be unwise from a medical standpoint. Too bad I can't ( Read more... )

You really have to admire the guy behind Garfield Minus Garfield. He simply removed the main character who hasn't said anything new in 30 years (hates Mondays, loves lasagna, we get it) and turned it into an existential work of genius. The guy's even getting his own book deal out of this. The sad part is that I think I'm much more like Jon Arbuckle ( Read more... )

Some of you might be interested to know that Skidoo is playing on Turner Classic Movies tomorrow night. Skidoo is a 60's counter-culture comedy starring Jackie Gleason, Groucho Marx and a ton of other old movie actors desperately trying to be "hip" for the times. Ever wanted to see Ralph Kramden drop acid? Well, here's your chance. It's been ( Read more... )

After much procrastination I've started putting up videos from my collection on my own YouTube channel Yamtastic. I figure it's one way I can preserve parts of my old VHS tapes some of which are over 20 years old and rapidly deteriorating. These first few vids are from that semi-golden era of 80's television.

Yeah, I gotta go with The Kinks since they're the best band ever and all.

I watched Tin Man last night the Sci-Fi Channel's "reimagining" of The Wizard Of Oz. Finally, someone decided to take a cue from George Lucas and rape my grandmother's childhood. They've reworked the original story more or less and added in ideas from science fiction movies like Dune, Blade Runner and even Return Of The Jedi. The munchkins are now ( Read more... )

I got another Fingerhut catalog in the mail today. I swear I've never ordered anything from them but they keep sending me catalogs anyway. I used to think Fingerhut was the ghetto version of Skymall but they actually carry some of the exact same items at the same prices. For example, here's the Teac CD Recorder Turntable at Fingerhut while here's ( Read more... )
