Posted 4/08/2010 10:30 am by

Chad Ettmueller is a hungry man.  When he skipped a couple of meals and felt extra ravenous, there was only one solution, or so he thought.  He headed over to his local Which Wich and got his favorite sandwich.  Called the Wicked, it features five meats, three cheeses, and lots and lots of bread.  Since […]

Slash Forgives, Doesn’t Forget, About Jay Leno

Posted 4/08/2010 10:00 am by

Slash, best known as the mop-headed, top-hatted guitar slinger for 80’s and 90’s hard rock band Guns and Roses, has shown that the late night wars aren’t over.  Just because Jay Leno is back on the Tonight Show, that doesn’t mean Slash is ready to make nice while promoting his self-titled solo debut album Slash.  […]

Google Fiber’s Weirdness Abounds

Posted 4/05/2010 10:00 am by

Everyone wants faster high speed Internet.  Once Topeka, Kansas, changed its name for the day to Google, Kansas, the flood gates opened and now everybody is racing to be as weird and interesting as possible in an attempt to lure Google to their town.  The resulting flood of freaky, odd, funny, and just plain dumb […]

Stand By Me, Muppets Style

Posted 4/02/2010 9:00 am by

Another week, another Muppet cover song.  After having their way with Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody and Kansas’ Dust In The Wind, The Muppets and the mad folks over at Jim Henson Studios have gotten the band back together, blown the dust off the karaoke machine, and muppetized another classic song.  This time, they’re doing Stand By […]

Jay Leno says, “Conan Got Screwed. I Got Screwed”

Posted 4/01/2010 7:30 am by

Months after Jay Leno took over The Tonight Show from Conan O’Brien, only to discover that ratings aren’t what they used to be before Jay burned off all his good will with most of America by stabbing Conan in the back like he stabbed Johnny Carson in the back, Jay’s doing interviews on the subject.  […]

Scarface, Elementary School Version

Posted 3/30/2010 7:00 am by

So, apparently, someone did a version of Scarface as a kids’ elementary school play.  At least, that’s the theory behind this video that’s going viral even as we speak.  Imagine it, little kids running around with plastic blaster guns, saying “fudge” every other word, and generally being completely inappropriate.  No wonder the video is starting […]

Most of us will never get into space.  No matter how quickly or safely Bigelow Aerospace gets their commercial space station off the ground, do you really think you’ll be able to hop aboard Virgin Space and pop out to the Moon for a visit?  Probably not.  However, thanks to the University of Arizona’s High […]

For over 10 years, Domingo Pianezzi has trained surfers on the Peruvian beach town of San Bartolo.  Mostly people, but sometimes he’s also helped train animals to surf.  In his case, he has a dog that he’s trained to surf with him, and he even participates in international pet surfing competitions.  Since he knew he […]

“Figga Please” Makes Men’s Figure Skating… Macho?

Posted 3/16/2010 7:30 am by

I have a good friend of mine who, during the Vancouver Olympics, became the world’s biggest fan of men’s figure skating.  Weird, right?  I mean, I think most people are aware of figure skating during the Winter Olympics, but like she skipped past curling and other Internet favorites and just latched onto men’s figure skating, […]

Purple Snow Blankets Eastern Russia

Posted 3/12/2010 9:30 am by

Like something out of a Jimi Hendrix song, the citizens of Stavropol, Russia, are surrounded by a purple haze.  It’s not LSD or smoke-machine related; this purple haze is actually purple snow, which blanketed the region earlier this week.  The snow isn’t actually all purple, it actually ranges in color from red to brown.  The […]

Twilight: Eclipse Trailer Released

I have to say, I’m excited about the new Twilight movie.  The latest in the series, The Twilight Saga:  Eclipse, has been given both a trailer and a release date and I cannot wait for it.  You see, I’m decidedly not a fan of the Twilight movies as movies, but as wonderlands of potential comedy, […]

Beastie Boys And Battlestar Galactica: A Mash Made In Heaven

Enjoy this one while it’s around, gang, because I have no idea how long it’ll manage to stay online (though Battlestar Rhapsody is still around, thankfully).  From the credit montage to the fighter ship doing doughnuts, some creative genius has completely remade the famous Beastie Boys video “Sabotage” featuring an all-Battlestar Galactica cast.  The title […]

The Endless Night: A Film Noir Tribute

Posted 3/05/2010 8:00 am by

There’s just something about old Hollywood that speaks to me, and there’s no style of movie more elemental, more vital, and more impressive than film noir.  Those old black and white detective mysteries from the 1930’s and 1940’s still captivate audiences, and still influence modern filmmakers, cartoonists, and comic book writers to this day.  There’s […]

Brittney Griner’s Punch-Out

Posted 3/05/2010 7:30 am by

There’s nothing better than a good old-fashioned sports controversy, and boy, is this one big.  Like, 6’8 women’s basketball player Brittney Griner big.  Given that she’s bigger than most everyone else on the court, Brittney Griner gets a lot of aggressive defense, but during a game versus Texas Tech, this giant proved she is not […]

This Too Shall Pass

A lot of companies are struggling to adjust to the new way of things, and while the USPS is bad, they look like progressives next to your average record company.  For example, consider the case of “This Too Shall Pass.”  It’s the first single off the latest OK Go album, Of the Blue Colour of […]

World Record Motorcycle Jump

He flies through the air with the greatest of ease.  Seth Enslow isn’t a man on a flying trapeze, however; he’s more like a tattooed madman on the back of a specialized Harley Davidson.   Enslow took a Harley-Davidson XR1200, put a dirt bike suspension and handlebars on it, and then used that bike to […]

3-D Hurts Your Brain

Posted 2/23/2010 7:00 am by

It’s one of my biggest problems with 3-D movies.  I don’t mind paying extra, nor do I mind wearing goofy plastic eyeglasses.  However, I do mind the headaches and blurred vision that usually accompanies 3-D movies.  I figured I was in the minority on this, but VOA News suggests that 3-D headaches, eye strain, and […]

Pelican Attacks Weatherman, Becomes Hero To Millions

It was just supposed to be a silly little remote piece.  You know, they take the wacky weatherman, in this case Channel Nine’s Steve Jacobs, and they put him in the zoo and have the handlers show off some of the various animals.  Like, for instance, a pelican named Marnie.   However, things did not […]

Rock Sugar’s Genre-Bending Music Madness

There’s nothing more fun than a good fake band idea.  For example, according to their back story, the band Rock Sugar (warning:  video automatically starts) spent 20 years on a desert island before returning to the world and bringing back their unique blend of pop and heavy metal.  I doubt that actually happened; what I […]
