I feel the strong urge to call in sick tomorrow. Again. Damn you Sawbuck Gamer!!!

Productivity Enhancers
And here I thought it was going to be a boring day at work with nothing to do. Thanks Sawbuck Gamer!

Joe Vs. the Lolcano

Layne
About 6 years ago I came to know Layne's mother, Nancy, and helped her set up the Layne Staley Fund as part of my Master's thesis on non-profits. In addition to selling and licensing Layne's artwork to places like Hot Topic (I know, I know) we also set up an annual tribute concert. Proceeds from this concert…

Point of parliamentary procedure…
Is it really adding much to sue someone for "threatening" when they've actually carried out that threat and battered you?

Are we really surprised?
Everybody knows he's a motherfuckin' monster

Polygraph
One of my favorite Barney Miller eps involved an investigator giving a polygraph test to all the detectives. When they got around to Dietrich he told bald-faced lies in his typical deadpan way, claiming he was an alien, born 400 years ago, etc.

Beasties
Given their shame and aversion to most of their work during the Def Jam era I wonder how this video will go.

Kanye
He's going to need to see your fucking hands at the concert.

Unexpected Consequence
Assassinating Young Castro = No rise to prominence for Che Guevara
No rise to prominence for Che Guevara = No Che T-Shirts
No Che T-Shirts = Hipsters/rich-white college "radicals" search for next best thing
Next best thing = More Bob Marley shirts
More Bob Marley shirts = Mainstreaming of Reggae…

I..am…Spartacus?

If I'm reading all these comments on this story correctly we should kill Leno and put John Hamm in his place. Or am I missing something?

"Hey, let's break this guy's thumbs"
Sounds like a capital idea. Very hard to eat a sandwich or count your cash when you have two broken thumbs.

AMEX Commercial
I saw that AMEX commercial (where he scours India for the perfect fabric for his show curtains) just before the show started and it got me surprisingly pumped. THIS was the humor I'd been missing. THIS was what Letterman, Stewart and Colbert couldn't match.
The show itself was great, I'm sure it'll…

Oh for fuck's sake! Stupid archaic work keyboard… To punish myself I will spend the afternoon shoveling pig shit.

Not to get all Thundersome and shit..
..but if you bust a deal, you face the wheel.
You can't get upset if you get busted for not following the rules. Other than that, Olbermann has always been upfront about his Liberal-ness and makes no claims for impartiality. I wouldn't have a problem with him or Hannity or O'Reilly…

I'm not sure about my haircut game. Every time I go to the barber I ask for the same thing: medium taper, #1 around the ears, and a little bit off the top. Sure, it's been that way for 15 years but I think it works for my face and the professional grooming standards required of my office. True, I haven't had any…

I'm just wondering…
I just bought a nice new pair of Allen Edmonds lace-up oxfords. They were fairly expensive as shoes go but you can't debate the quality of the craftsmanship and the fine details like the double-stiching, the calf-skin interior, or the hard leather sole (ideal for dancing!).
But I'm concerned…

In the early first days of HBO, 9 to 5 was in constant rotation. I mean, like, twice a day rotation. Very strange movie to watch as a kid, but I dug it and dug Dolly, whom I still dig. Oh, and her appearances on Carson were awesome. She seems very genuine, down to earth and altogether nice. All hail Dolly!

Jon Stewart
I, for one, welcome our new hipster, faux-news, sanity-inducing overlord.
