You might be a “Sofa Boy” if…

Your parents return from work and you’re still in your pajamas…
You have to time bathroom breaks with videogame checkpoints…
You scream “Bright light! Bright light!” when someone opens the curtains…
You hug your Wii controller instead of your teddy bear when you go to bed at night…
Your sofa cushion has a permanent depression in the shape of [...]

Where’s Waldo? At a Bar?

Are you searching for Waldo? Well, you could try looking at a bar first. A bar? Yes, Waldo is now of legal drinking age and has been celebrating his 21st birthday in recent months. The celebration kicked off in September, but I just found out about it this week, so…Happy Belated Birthday, Waldo!
I was always so fond of the Where’s Waldo [...]

Worst Gifts Ever

In my hunt for Christmas gifts, I came across a number of really out of the ordinary and generally useless products that I think would make horrible gifts. I can’t speak for the rest of the world (some people may actually like this stuff, so no offense to any of these companies), but let it be [...]

Print print, dig dig

Is it time for the government to stop printing money to throw in the Money Hole? You decide.

Ha Ha! Ha. Huh. Hmm. I’d be laughing harder if this wasn’t effectively true.
Oh, and to go along with this tongue-in-cheek video on bailouts, how about a tongue-in-cheek sentence of the day on the same subject: “The seepage [...]

Probably won’t be the hot toy for Christmas ‘08

Parents are outraged by this freaky looking doll that utters pro-Islam and satanic messages. People insist they can hear Fisher-Price’s “Little Mommy Real Loving Baby Cuddle and Coo” saying “Islam is the light” and “Satan is king.”
…don’t try pulling out the batteries….you’ll just makes it angrier

Bus Stop Musings

Five minutes at a bus stop with Craig and Dan…
I thought I’d share a couple amusing observations we made while waiting for a bus to the Red Sox game last night (’cause who doesn’t love an amusing observation).
First, we observed that people often converse as if they’re leaving the lines blank on the Mad Lib of life. [...]

The Soup (not necessarily for the soul)

In the 90’s there was a little show on E! called Talk Soup, which in 2004 was ”re-mixed” into a much better show that we now know as The Soup. I can’t get enough of this 1/2 hour weekly show of utter hilarity during which host Joel McHale “reports” on the latest in pop culture news and [...]

Famous Photos (of the LEGO variety)

I’ve blogged about LEGO before (and I’ll probably blog about the company again). The staying power of the almighty LEGO is stickier than your fingers after eating a huge wad of cotton candy. Given this fact, and that Photo History was one of my favorite courses in college, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to blog about [...]

Curb Your Enthusiasm will have a 7th Season!

I just found out about this - last month Larry David confirmed that there will be a 7th season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, and it will premier at the beginning of 2009!
It’s the funniest damn show on TV. We don’t get HBO anymore so I didn’t see any of season 6 when it first aired, but I got the Season [...]

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Trailer!

It seems like just yesterday that the first novel in JK Rowling’s wildly popular series of books, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, was released in 1997. I’ve read most of the books – working on the final installment, The Deathly Hallows (Year 7), now. Yes, I’m a slow reader…one of the reasons that I [...]

When the Olympics were held in Atlanta 13 years ago, a local radio station from East Dublin, GA wanted to draw some of the Olympic crowds to their little town. What could they possibly do to accomplish this? Create the “Summer Redneck Games”, of course!
A week from today, on July 5th, the 13th Annual Summer Redneck [...]

Forbes.com Celebrity 100

I’d expect a “Celebrity 100″ list from People Magazine, but I was surprised today to see that Forbes.com published an extensive online feature on the top 100 celebs. I have to admit – reading celebrity magazines are a guilty pleasure of mine. Although, I only read them when I travel or when I visit the [...]

Buzz Wins Kickball; David Archuleta Loses Idol

The bitter – while we were consumed in kickball victory bliss, David Archuleta was [...]

Thermostat Etiquette – According to Dilbert

You know Dilbert?  The comic strip that runs in more than 2,000 newspapers. Well, I’m not sure how funny it is to those who don’t work in an office, but I can relate to the comic strip without a doubt.
So, Dilbert.com just went through a bit of a re-launch. I poked around and came across this [...]

A Role Model? Miley Cyrus in Vanity Fair

My little sisters are two of very many young girls that adore the 15-year-old actress and singing sensation Miley Cyrus (aka “Hannah Montana”). News has run rampant about her recent photo shoot with well-known photographer Annie Liebovitz for Vanity Fair magazine.

New York ComicCon – Geeks are Glorious

Last weekend hundreds gathered in all their geek glory for New York ComicCon (a couple of my clients were there, but I didn’t make it out.) I did, however, stumble across a post and video on Boing Boing about the conference – a great video. Love this guy! I mean c’mon, how great is his assesment that you can tell [...]

YouTube.com – 2007 Video Awards

Every once and awhile you’ll stumble across a brilliant video on YouTube. Sometimes an ambitious director devised some wonderful visual concept and then carried it out in an elaborate production. Other times some shocking or hilarious person or event was captured on video by chance. 
The winners of the YouTube.com 2007 video awards are a mixture of both produced [...]
