There is no hope

There are 70 miners trapped in Canada.

CNN.com has the SAG Awards (the friggin' SAG AWARDS?) as its lead story.

Oh, and Big Momma's House 2 made nearly $30 million this weekend.

This country sucks so hard.

Speaking of Nintendostalgia...

Enjoy this lusty, punk-rock drinking-song cover of the Legend of Zelda theme. It's hi-larious.

Oh, jeez.

Wow.

Good thing I don't live in that town, anymore.

Join the Nintendo Fun Club today, Mac!

I know I'm prone to hyperbole, but seriously, as a former Punch-Out obsessive, this might be the greatest thing EVER!

A recent epiphany.

There is no true wisdom -- just a progressive realization of previous stupidity.

Thank you, thank you. I'm now going to shave my head and move to a mountain in Tibet.

Get pumped!

How white is some of Indiana?

One of the larger towns we cover? Its basketball team warmed up to Ace of Base's "Beautiful Life." Not metal. Not hip-hop. Ace of Base.

Wow.

Alexander the Great

If you haven't seen this yet, see it now. Might be the most ridiculous goal I've ever seen. The only one that compares is, fittingly, when Gretzky baseball-swung a waist-high puck from the high slot (a good 50 feet away) past the goalie. This was nuts. Watch till the end, when they show the last replay. It's absurd.

hooray beer!

so troy and i were just discussing the potential grammys-watching at brew & view -- i was upset b/c laz won't be there to yell at the screen with me.

me: but laz won't be there. he's my main yelling at the screen partner...well, besides you.

him: yeah, but i probably won't be there.

me: i figured you wouldn't be.

him: home is a happy place.

me: brew & view is a happy place, too. we have fun there!

him: we have fun at our house, too.

me: yeah, but we don't have beer.

(ok, maybe that's only funny to me, but i felt like sharing anyway.)

"Tragedy today, as former president Gerald Ford was eaten by wolves..."

He was delicious.

(I'm a bad person, I'm sorry)

(If you don't get the reference, it's my favorite SNL skit of all time)

Anyone else been listening ...

to the Alito hearings? I know they're important, but they're also extremely repetitive and frustrating! I miss "Fresh Air" with Terry Gross.

Chuck Norris doesn't write autobiographies. He writes autobiographical books.

Er, I was hoping for more of a, well, roundhouse kick.

Jon Stewart ...

is hosting the Oscars! Yes, I know I'm a bit behind on this.

Lawbreakers!

Holy Jebus!

Congrats!

I have no idea why a certain HUSBAND-type didn't say anything...

I have it on good authority that Sawah has successfully defended her thesis and is now an Official Bad Ass of Chemistry, or somesuch.

Congrats, Sawah!

I guess they really DO need a copy editor...

Got "a eye for detail"?
