I'm not skiing here.

This would never happen based on lack of American funny bones and too many lawyers. But, I guess Jackass could pull it off.

And btw, Happy July 4th!
WoW has a little competition. First Conan, now this. Looks great, wait for the final battle scene when the commentator shuts up after 7 min.
And btw, Happy July 4th!

I wanna be a fireman!

My dad volunteers as a fire policeman. Directing traffic and such. I don't think he will see this much. More likely a meth lab.

Greatest Moment in Sports

Ummm, I'll think no, but maybe the greatest moment in how not to recover from drinking too much the night before. Fast forward to the 4 minute mark for the money shot. This year, July 4th at 12pm-2pm on ESPN. Be there!


Also, in case you are bored this weekend, don't have fireworks and are really craving to blow something up...
What do you mean, "Don't try this at home!?" Of course, I'm going to try this at home. As soon as I can find an ostrich egg.

42

The question is... "How old is John Cusack?" Happy Birthday! There's a list of his best 42 movies, in order, I don't agree. Being John Malkovich is to low and my fav is Grosse Point Blank.



Maybe I can try this angle in Omaha.

Bruce Campbell

Hooch for the Pooch! Halloween release! Groovy.
Okay, I'm a little excited for this. Like, S.O.A.P. level.



Looks like 3 Amigos but better.
Bruce Campbell makes it better because he is replacing 3 people!

Quantum of Solace

Two things today, new Bond trailer. I love it that this incarnation is less smooth international spy and more psychopathic murderer with anger issues.
Don't ask why this is more appealing to me. He's like the Hulk, his power comes from fits of extreme rage. Isn't it fun to live vicariously through a guy that will chase a guy 20 stories up across a crane, then jump a motorcycle onto a moving boat, just to stab the bad guy in the throat? Especially when I have a hissy fit at home, punch the wall and yell "take that nuclear scalding, but still frozen center, HOT POCKET!... dammit when are my hand bones so brittle?"




Remember the fake trailer, "Machete", from Grindhouse? That guy,Danny Trejo, is starring in this movie. Rob Zombie and QT getting together for this, I think. Pure awesomeness!

Fake?

Why is she in position for this? The guy getting paid in the uniform playing left field should be getting this. It would have been interesting if he bothered to run a little to get it.

RIP George Carlin

I thought this was most appropriate.

Happy Birthday!

Bruce Campbell is 50. To bad the movie with Richard Gere never worked out, but here's Bubba HoTep. Yes, its in my DVD collection.

Spiffy

Christian Bale has been one of my favorite actors since he sliced up the screen, and pretty much everything else, in "American Psycho," so I am thrilled that he's been getting so much attention, acclaim and work following "Batman Begins."

Yes, I'm a little worried about fanboy franchise overload with "The Dark Knight" and "Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins" but I don't think American can get too much of Christian, which is good because it sounds like he's about to land another huge project.

The Daily Mail is reporting that Christian is "Nottingham" director Ridley Scott's top choice to play Robin Hood in a new reinvention of the age-old tale where Robin is the villain and the Sheriff of Nottingham is the hero. Making me even more excited is that the Sheriff will be played by Russell Crowe.

Christian and Russell developed a brilliant chemistry as reluctant partners in "3:10 To Yuma" (seriously, rent it if you haven't!) that would perfectly suit these roles as well. Click here, for a huge article on the special fx, or lack of them.

Cannibal Corpse new opening act

favorite lyric ever...

New Rules

D&D has a new rule book out. I think it will result in games like this...

Clockwork Orange 2008

I can't believe she still has a job!

Milton vs hecklers

I can't see kids getting this at all.

DeezNuts

My brain just melted. Watch at your own peril.

Just another day at the beach

This is old, but perfect timing for Hancock movie?

Merry Melodies

This one is never going to show up on any DVDs. Just watch and you'll know why. Maybe this would be popular in Nebraskowa.

KJ finally gets a ring.

Yeah, I lost my bet. But, its still cool to see him get a ring finally. Yes, Jennie, you get some shoes, but my pick. ;)

Me like COOOOOKIES!!

Fruit has replaced cookies as #1 children's snack. You should know that 50% of all statistics are made up on the spot. They are correct 90% of the time.

30 days in a wheelchair

Sorry, its been awhile. Yes, I'm fine. This is the 30Days show from cable. I'm not in a wheelchair.
This is the whole show, 42 minutes. Sorry about the ads, complain to Hulu.



Part II: RIP Tim Russert
Here's a bunch of best of clips.

Happy Father's Day!

Headset anyone?

This is probably fake. But do you want an antler growing out of your head?

Happy 75th Birthday!

Today is the 75th Birthday of the Drive-In Movie Theater.

Richard M. Hollingshead, Jr. came up with the idea in 1932, conducting outdoor theater tests in his driveway with a screen attached to trees in his backyard and a 1928 Kodak projector on the hood of his car. He opened the first drive-in theater on June 6th 1933 on Admiral Wilson Boulevard at the Airport Circle in Pennsauken, New Jersey. Hollingshead’s Drive-In was only operational for three years, but the concept quickly spread.

Approximately 100 major drive-ins opened nationwide before the war, and the craze eventually peaked in the late 1950s, with an estimated 4,000+ drive-ins spreading across the United States, mostly in more rural areas. Drive-ins usually charged by the car load, ran double features, and provided a private viewing environment for families who were afraid to bring their noisy children to traditional theaters (oh, how times have changed).

Land value increases, real estate economics, the invention of the multiplex, cable television, and home video has lead to a massive decline. Only 383 commercially operational drive-in movie theaters around today, down from 447 in 1999. Find a drive-in near you at driveinmovie.com, and click on the ticket.

Growing up I had a half dozen around and regularly attended 3, including the Transit DriveIn for a dusk to dawn feature. Drove a 79 Chevy Chevette, which had a nice hatchback, so I could hide the keg. Now I get to enjoy another, around the corner from my new home in Omaha. Which, most recently I learned if I walk through the golf course I will live on, I get to Harrah's casino. Nice.

"Here we go..."

That's what I said when I saw something large in my rear view mirror, moving a little too fast and a little too close for comfort. I don't know why I said that.
My car got dinged a little.
Hit while sitting at a red light.
The other driver was doing about 30
and I don't think she ever applied the brakes. Good thing I had my foot on the brake or I would have been pushed into crossing traffic. Fuckin' bitch's car hardly had a scratch on it. So there's what looks like about 4 grand of damage. Maybe I can get in an oil change, tire rotation, air conditioner recharge thrown in for free.
I should have sent my wife to the hospital to get her foot looked at. While in Miami, almost a month ago, a bar stool was dropped on her foot and it's still bruised. Then the insurance would pay for it like it was from the accident. Now I get to drive around in a sweet automatic white Mitsubishi Galant. I felt like a retard driving it this morning. Coming to a red light, thinking like I was normally driving my stick shift, I put both feet on the brake pedal for a complete stop 50 yards from the light. Good way top wake up in the morning, whiplash!!

Office Worker Meltdown

Midget Booze

How fast would you get to the bar if you knew this promotion was going on?
Clicky
And its not for St Patty's day!

Starbucks

Thirsty for more business during the worst slump in its history, Starbucks will try to lure more customers by offering two hours of free AT&T Wi-Fi a day.

The Wi-Fi freebie will be available starting Tuesday to customers who purchase a minimum $5 reloadable Starbucks Card, register online for the Starbucks Rewards Card program, and use the card at least once a month. The two hours must be consecutive. New members also receive a voucher for a free drink.

Pierogies Clearwater

We drove past this restaurant awhile ago and saw some dancing cloud thing. Then we saw a Tampa Tribune article on the Pierogie Grill in Clearwater. So we look up the website (<- click back there) and see a news clip of the place. Since my wife is a Polish princess and all, we decided it would be a nice place to go. She can compare to what her grandmother made when she was a kid. She got "something" like stuffed cabbage rolls. Of course, not as good as grandma's, but I liked it. Plus a bowl of borscht. I got high off the amount of salt in it. I ordered a dozen mixed pierogies.














Supposed to get 6 different fillings and got 2. Okay for the frst time. But I was looking for something more. Oh, I almost forgot. We ordered some Polish beer. My wife orders a Okocim "large" and I wisely get a 16 oz Zywiec.














Here's what arrives and my wife quickly switches. I am instantly in love with the place. Both beers are 6%, but the size is scary. ;)
We finish the plates but I am still looking for more. I browse the menu again and find an appetizer. PICKLED HERRING IN CREAM SAUCE.













I get it and a side of vodka. It was fantastic, just a hint of buffalo pie in it, (not really). My wife even tries and likes it! I could have done a few more vodka's but go with another quart of Okocim. The music was hilarious, mixing between American pop and Eurotrash dance mix. I immediately thought of Techno Viking.
The dj, I think a satellite radio swings from Milkshake to Greased Lightning. Some Polish meathead that must have been or is currently a Marine was really digging Grease. He must have been friend or family because when it came on he went behind the bar to turn it up. Looked like the kind of guy I partied with back in college that was part of the Russian football team. These guys were huge, but dumb as stumps, so they were easily pushed around the field. The head bouncer of the bar I worked at was 6'5", 350lbs and looked little next to these guys. This bouncer was the same guy that got stabbed outside of a mafia/FBI run bar in my hometown. Seven times in the back and he lives. It was like Rocky punching the side of beef, but with a knife. Ahhh, good times. Work until 3am, toss back a few Guinness and go open then restaurant after a half hour drive. But, that's a story for another time.
The bathroom was cool too. I haven't seen anywhere around here that has this.
