That actually sounds like it could be a beastie boys song. You should trademark the idea before MCA gets wind of it.

So…Middle Eastern dictators and American pop starlets both travel with look-a-likes. Somehow, I'm not nearly as surprised as I ought to be about this revelation.

In addition to a number of failed attempts at film adaptations, there's a play. Arty's a puppet of some sort. I've never seen it, but have heard that it's hilarious.

The amount that I care about the Donkey Kong record
is vastly disproportional to the record's actual importance. I mean, if anything, I should be super-excited to read news about that guy who got a perfect score on PacMan.

P. Fish: If Jelly Belly Pudding is a copy of a copy, wouldn't Plato NOT approve? God, I'm so confused…

Brian Williams is squandering his gift doing the news every day. Dare I say it: best. cameo. ever. (at the very least, in the 30 Rock universe)

Butters is one of the funniest things in the world.

This is upsetting…
Because both "Blue Collar" and "Man in the Mirror" are fantastic. I have little interest in hearing this new mixtape, though, thanks to the content.

I also remember the "perpendicular" moment and am glad to discover that I'm not the only nerd who is still bothered by that after forgetting both when it happened and who was playing.

I also thought yawn misinterpreted.

How could I have forgotten the Ryan Phillipe "I'm going to take something out of my pocket" scene!?!

Madden has been going downhill of late, but as others have said (better than I will), nobody simplified the game in useful and interesting ways like he did. The state of NFL announcing is abysmal, and it just got a little worse with this announcement.

I hate crash…
…so very very much.

Yay!
I love talking about books, in general. And Geek Love, specifically.

Of course Courtney Love is out of money…
Ryan Adams stole it all to make "Rock and Roll [Backwards]"

Goddamn
I love this show.

It's not a tum-ah!

In addition, Murphy's line about the "suspension of disbelief" was the best part of the bit.

Props for the historical/literary bent…
But may I suggest Mary Shelley's "Mathilda"? She wrote it and sent the manuscript to her father, William Godwin (to pay off his massive debts). He, in turn, was so horrified by the depictions of incestuous desire that he not only refused to publish it but he also refused to…

Despite the end of their relationship, I'm willing to consider Avon and String.
