ESPN's New Facebook Game
I've been playing "ESPN Catch-a-Catchphrase… It's Cailente!" for some time now. Still need some help getting the elusive "Boom Goes The Dynamite" achievement to reach Dan Patrick status. Willing to trade a "Yahtzee!" home run call. DM if interested.
This game is a whole lot more fun that…

She taught this white boy diversity
I'll never watching Sesame Street at my grandparents house one summer. I must have been six or seven. My grandfather was in his easy chair reading a book when Lena Horne came on the show as a guest. Being a jazz man from way back when he came and sat down next to me, excitedly…

I "cultural appropriation" were a barrier to entry for music, then technically NO ONE should ever start a new band.

A selfish act in any respect
As per usual, Roger Ebert said it best when he criticized Phoenix's bizarre behaviour during the press run for his film. If it was indeed an act, he selfishly distracted attention away from the hard work everyone else did on that film and no doubt added to its terrible box office…

I bought a t-shirt for a friend's b-day from Nimoy's website. He sent me a thank-you email ending with LLAP (Live Long And Prosper). I felt really good about that…liked I'd been blessed by some sci-fi pope.

Iceland had better be saving up its carbon credits because of this eruption. The offsets for this motherfucker are going to be huge!

I was going to mostly agree with the "cheap laughs" idea, but then I remember how funny South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut was. The scenes right after the kids see the T&P movie were seriously funny. Is it different because they're cartoons, or because "Uncle Fucker" was so genius?

The word "orange" remains frustratingly unrhymable. And you so called "English Majors" sit by passively. Mount up, poet-tards!

Out here in Hawaii it seems to be the footwear of choice for your average Japanese tourist. I went to Tokyo recently and discovered that Crocs are being aggressively market to the Japanese public as "a trendy shoe that all Hawaiians are wearing." For the record we still prefer clogs and jodhpurs.

May you get canceraids from William Joel.

I still have my "Dare to Be Stupid" tour shirt…

Does this mean that the inevitable Pirates of the Caribbean 5 will be booty-centric? All auditioners evaluated by Sir Mix-A-Lot? Rump-shaking try-outs?!

Sorry, I'm only "fluent" in Book Review and Opinion.

Correction to Mikey B's post: "After Han shot him *first*". That is all.

Granted, I've just reached the upgrade part of the game so I may just not be as familiar with it, but it was not well explained in the tutorial. Basically, I'm afraid to throw away or sell anything. I've also heard from others that a weapon you find in the beginning stages of the game can be upgraded almost to the…

He must have had the fish…

Just reached hour 15. My initial take is that this is a gorgeous game. Unbelievable graphics and cinematic cutscenes abound. I would dare say that the Square Enix developers have finally thrown a ladder into the Uncanny Valley. It's not quite photo-realistic, but it's good enough where you don't notice after a few…

Years ago during the XFiles heyday I once had a great idea that Scully and Mulder should investigate the strange happenings at Twin Peaks. I even thought up a title: "The Mysterious Disappearance of Special Agent Dale Cooper." It was then that a friend gently explained to me what "fan fiction" was. I've been ashamed…

Cocky director left facing the sack after spectacular flop.
