Does anyone else do this?
When I read a Q and A interview, after the last answer, I always automatically hear the interviewer saying “Well, hey, thanks so much for talking to me,” and the interviewee saying “anytime.” Those are the exact lines I hear in my head every single time.
I know that the last thing you read is not always the last question asked, but that’s how it always reads in my...
I remember when the Internet played VIDEOS, man.
Well, MTV finally did it - a video website with the power of their incredible library. Hey, it’s only 4 or 5 years late!
I think the only thing that seems to be missing is the ability to make a playlist, or have constant random videos playing one after the other. That would be incredible for parties. Maybe it already has this feature and I haven’t seen it?
There are so many...

This is the greatest thing ever. E.V.E.R.
Rome may be burning all around us, but I won’t be worrying as long it’s me and my Muppet.
FAO Schwartz is hosting the Muppet Whatnot Workshop. While you can build now online, the physical workshop opens at the store in New York on November 13. Not gonna lie, people, I will probably cry with joy when I get to see it in person.

What They Play

I like the idea of this…a parents guide to video games, written by people who care about video games. If you know adults with kids, but aren’t really aware of what goes on in today’s games (though if you’re friends with me, you probably don’t), forward them this link and let them know to not get their information about games from idiots...
The Cubs Postseason Collapse...EXPLAINED!
I am a Pirates fan. Saying that is kinda like saying “I enjoy sticking my wet fingers in an electrical socket 162 times a year.”
The architect of the teams most recent woes, former GM Dave Littlefield, was let go by the organization before the start of the 2008 season.
He is now a scout for the Chicago Cubs.
A POX UPON YOUR ORGANIZATION! LITTLEFIELD IS YOUR NEW GOAT!

Turn That Dow Upside Down
One good thing that’s come out of the financial crisis:
Sad Guys on Trading Floors!
Personally, I think the financial crisis happened because we let guys like this trade our money…
Where do you get that shirt aside from the Beaver Falls Salvation Army? My guess: he was tired that morning, it was dark, and he accidentally wore his wife’s shirt to work. She had to run her...

Thoughts:
-Goddammit, don’t you people watch movies? Someone register the name SkyNet, use it to only make greeting cards, and murder anyone trying to buy out your company. FIGHT THE FUTURE.
-Is this just viral marketing for Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles?

Iron Stomach
This was a raging debate amongst my friends after Iron Man…
In the movie, after Tony Stark returns to America from being held hostage, he says he wants an American cheeseburger. Cut to: Stark exiting his limo, eating a burger from Burger King.
I had no problem with it; I assumed it was a) an obvious tie-in, and b) to play to people whose favorite burger was from Burger King (I know lots...
90s Awards!
Most 90s DVD cover:
Runner up:
Decades from now, when someone asks you what the 90s were all about, show them one of these two boxes. They will instantly understand.
Bonus!
Phrase you should use more often:
"The Touch" in Rock Band 2?
If this happens, I’d never be able to play it, because my boner would keep knocking the guitar out of position or popping the drums off their stand.
PS: This means a lot to me because it’s the only song I ever requested from Nickelodeon’s Music Video Show. I sent a letter with my first grade picture and drawings of Scourge and the Sweeps (ovals).

Killing Me
The Killers performed their new single “Human” on SNL Saturday.
The song sounds solid, but the lyrics sound like they were written by Obtusey McObtusington IV. Read above, watch below…
I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but i was kind
And sometimes i get nervous
When i see an open door
Close your eyes...
Masters of Internet: Lady in Red
In this article on Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel having a joint concert in NYC, it is mentioned that Scarlett Johanson is also a supporter of Barack Obama. Which led to this comment:
I’d like inform you that Scarlett Johansson (actress)actually is a clone from original person,who has nothing with acting career.Clone was created illegally using stolen biomaterial.Original Scarlett...
