I told John that if he successfully did a flip, I would put it on the internet. Then I told him if he did not successfully do a flip, I would put it on the internet. Then I shotgunned a beer. It was Miller time! Music by the Ting Tings, all "Shut Up and Let Me Go." You can get it from the Amazon link on the left if that floats your boat. Hilarious.

We showed up for the afternoon matinée of Wanted on Friday about a minute before the movie proper started, so John, BJ and I had to sit in the third row. I don't think I've sat that close to a movie since I was forced into the same situation at a screening of Attack of the Clones. "Better not let on that this will make it difficult for me to read the screen," I thought to myself, a fraction of

Another sketch from when Jim Carrey hosted Saturday Night Live, featuring Mark McKinney as...Jim Carrey? Buh-buh-guh-whaaaaa?!? And it just might be...the funniest comedy sketch...of all time. Maybe.

You know what really grinds my gears? Awful videos for tracks that are at least alright. Just close your eyes and press play: I know kissing a girl was a new and interesting experience for Katy Perry, and so it makes sense that she would respond positively to aspects of it that she will, in time, come to criticize. For instance, if I guessed a girl whose lips tasted like cherry Chapstick, I

BJ and I watched the pilot for Fastlane last weekend, and he thought the Miami Vice homage with Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" would make for a good post. You bet it would, BJ. I mean, You bet it was. I mean, You bet it would. But while that musical cue being used in two vice cop shows several decades apart is funny, it's not blow-your-mind insane, like, say, both Swingtown and The Venture

So, Spider-Man walks into a bar, and has a little run-in with some supervillians therein, until the bartender decides to keep the peace... Spider-Man is known for his goofing, but is it okay to goof on your friend's drinking problem? If that friend is Tony Stark, then yes, because that guy is a fascist asshole.

George Carlin died Sunday of heart failure. Then I went back in time using a phone booth I built out of cardboard boxes to post this.

Absolutely NO goofing on: race, religion (Hinduism, monotheistic belief systems besides Christianity), sexual orientation Somewhat no goofing on: nationality, Baptists, people you just met (three hang-out grace period) Probably best not to goof on because some people are related to retards or are married: retards, marriageYou will make someone cry if you goof on: health (fatties) Goof at your

Here's a sketch with a title that still gets a lot of play in my father's house. Ask that man for money, and you are likely to hear, "Change...for a dollar? Cch, Tch, Tch, Tkok,tkok..." Is that how you spell that? Anyway, here's Mr. Show's "Change for a Dollar": Funny, yes. But the funniest sketch of all time? Maybe!

Kate Beaton's comics are great. White Ninja Comics + History + Sometimes the character designs look like they could be in The Brave Little Toaster or maybe Davey and Goliath + also some Kyle Baker too = Kate Beaton's comics. It's in my RSS feed. Shouldn't it be in yours?

Looks like there's going to be some overtime down at the factory tomorrow, or as we call it, "Time-X." Which is weird, because people keep telling me that we're moving packages of Timex watches, so I can't tell if someone is fucking with me, coincidences abound, or management thought to consolidate purpose and distinction.

Sometimes when people make me a mix CD, I won't listen to it for at least a couple of years, on account of being so set in my ways and crotchety. But then I will listen to it and what do you know it turns out I like Kate Havnevik: It's probably for the best that I didn't listen to her when I received a mix with Havnevik on it in 2006. On the one hand, I would have been totally

American Psycho 2: All-American Girl is on TMC, and if the twist is that William Shatner is playing an old Patrick Batemen, it will be awesome. UPDATE: that didn't happen, so I guess the movie was a resounding "not awesome."

Expanding a little on the tardiness of Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk, the whole thing is really a matter of the book at first being so late it's funny, and then so late it's infuriating, and then so late it comes around to being funny again. In some ways, it's kind of like today's sketch, Dane Cook and Will Forte in Saturday Night Live's "Poland Spring Water": Just make sure you stop it after the

You know what really grinds my gears? Late comics. Well, not really. I mean, I grew up with Image, late comics are in my blood. But even my generation has its limits, and Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk has demolished that limit. UWvH began as a miniseries in December 2005, and only two issues of a planned six were released. The third issue is now close to two and a half years late. So Bob Gale had

I went to see a stage production of Jesus Christ Superstar, which was great, even if we did get the understudy Judas. And he was white. It would be pretty awesome to play Judas, but you sure would have to be up there singing an awful lot over the course of two hours. So it would also be tempting to just play Herod and come in to chew up the scenery for one crowd-pleasing song.

The new Dinosaur Comics is funny and informative, but I have personally always pronounced "$" as "Chonk." And I don't know about ALL dogs, but when Tom sounds like he's about to ralph, the closest that sound comes to is a duck honk. Chonk is not quite honk, but there you go.

Oh man, I would have holla'd at this.Sometimes after it rains, it smells really super-oxygenated (you know...). Other times, it smells like cheese. Yesterday, it smelled like cheese. YMMV.Also yesterday, my mother's birthday, which apparently fell on the same day that Australia celebrates the Queen's birthday. Except Western Australia.

This last weekend at a BBQ, a little girl told me I looked like that guy from Batman. "Wow, you think I look like Christian Bale? Awesome!" I said. Finally someone saw the uncanny resemblance. "NO! The OTHER guy! From Red Eye and 28 Days Later," she said. "Who's letting you watch those movies?" It was time to lose the heat, so I pointed to Patrick. "See that guy over there? Doesn't he look

Before Akiva and the rest of The Lonely Island transcended awesomeness with their digital shorts, other folks at Saturday Night Live also tried their hand at such, including Adam McKay, as seen in this following sketch (suggested by April): I mean, McKay did do Ricky Bobby. That's tight.

Rachael Ray was arrested yesterday for terroristic activities, including, but not limited too, wearing a scarf. Wait, is that what happened? All I know is that I've been reading my Marvel Comics more closely...you know...SYMBOLICALLY speaking... If you see any butlers wearing keffiyehs from here on out, do not approach.
