  • Gayest thing ever.

    The absolute best summation of the Matthew Johns controversy I’ve read all week: “It’s the gayest thing ever.” And she means it in the literal sense. HA!

  • Kriek! Nooo!

    Please, oh please don’t let them tax the Kriek even more! It’s my favorite import.

  • The photographs from the Mother’s Day Classic are now up! How hardcore am I? And check me out blowing past a couple guys pushing strollers. I’ve grabbed the others from the site as well.

  • We were twenty minutes early for the movie last night, so while we were killing time Snookums told me to watch this YouTube video. It’s a BBC commercial with a choir that sings Blink 182’s “What’s My Age Again”. Oh, and there’s a little person who sings a solo.

  • Star Trek

    Star TrekWell, I certainly enjoyed Star Trek more than Ebert did! I loved all the references and fan service. I think Karl Urban was my favorite; Bones just cracked me up whenever he was onscreen.

  • Punch-Out for Wii

    Nice. Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out is coming to the Wii, thus fulfilling the promise of the Power Glove twenty years ago. My brother got the Power Glove for Christmas and tried (mostly unsuccessfully) to get it to work with Punch-Out. The technology back then required you to always return your punching hand to the same position,…
