No cup for me. I'll take a bowl, please.

LOST on Music Choice Channel?
So, there we were, just hanging out with the good old R&B Classics channel on Music Choice and I just happen to glance up from my laptop to see THE NUMBERS on the screen. Then we start paying attention and a few songs later, not right away, (leading to make me think I was just drunk and seeing things, a little Lost-out), and we see a DHARMA logo! Now I know that LOST is everywhere, but they don’t even do advertisements on these channels. Anyone have any others we missed??
Everyone knows The Commodores first hit single was, "108 Minutes Til I Get Your Love"
Unfortunately, we waited another 30 minutes for the numbers to come up again with nothing, but we did find this…
...And we just wanted to post these guys because that white guy is just the grooviest muthafucka EVER! Ohio Players, ya'll!
What A Weekend: L.A. Beer Fest & Warrior Dash SoCal
I’m still getting my bearings after the insane weekend of drinking all day Saturday at the L.A. Beer Fest and then Warrior Dashing all day Sunday, while also drinking, of course. Here’s a couple of shots I took. More to come…
Marriage Takes Balls
The day was Saturday. The place was Target. The wife and I were wandering the aisles aimlessly after being unable to find either of the things we came for. The entire trip was a bust. Yeah, we had managed to find her a tank top and me some clearance earbuds for the gym, but they just weren’t going to make up for the wasted trip.
As we perused the store, at this point more interested in finding the exit than continue to be disappointed by this “store,” it occurred to me that we were in the workout section and I had been internally entertaining the idea of getting us a workout ball for the house. Now, I know what you’re thinking. “What self respecting man buys an exercise ball?” Well, this guy does. And you might want to just move on if that’s too much for you to handle. It gets better.
Doing my usual cheapskate price comparisons I see that the Reebok brand ball is $30 while the cheaper Embark brand is only $9. Not a tough decision for what is essentially a big plastic inflatable pool toy, but one that was about to get even easier. Being that I’m a man of the New Millenium, I’m an avid watcher of Project Runway and now its companion show Models of the Runway. Say what you want, but most of those crazy, eccentric designers have more talent in their tiny, calloused pinky finger than pretty much every other reality show contestant combined. Oh, and there are half naked models. So there’s that.
Will we buy the ball? Why am I talking about Lifetime shows? Is this question rhetorical?

He’s Chevy Chase and You’re Not: A Night with Community
Rushing from opposite sides of town to Beverly Hills after work, trying not to miss the 7pm start time, a time we usually are just getting out of work, my wife and I rushed through LA traffic, on our cell phones, trying to figure out where we could park our two cars and still be near each other for when the night ended. Finally getting to Melrose and La Cienega with fifteen minutes to spare, we got our tickets, hit the bathroom and grabbed some nice cheap BevHill drinks before the show. For her, a glass of Pinot Noir. Me, a Michelob. Both for the bargain price of $21 with tip. With drinks in hand, we made our way to our seats up in the balcony.
The night opened up with a clip of an interview with Chevy from the 70′s interview show “Inside The Comedy Mind” in which he declares he wouldn’t go back to television until his film career is waning. Yep, that was just about right. But thank god he ended up with these kids instead of most of the crap “comedies” on the tube these days. After the crap that we had to see him sink to in the years preceding “Community,” it’s so good to see him in his element again. Surrounded by talented funny people who push him to be creative again.
Greatest Mascot Ever?
Ladies and Gentleman, let me introduce you to Dartmouth’s Keggy the Keg. There’s nothing I can think of that would get the crowd pumped up better than a huge keg running back and forth during a game. If anything, it could at least remind everyone the real reason they’re freezing their ass off watching the Big Green lose to Yale or Harvard or Princeton or Penn or Holy Cross or… Okay, now I’m just being mean. Sorry B-Side.
According to Huffington Post:
In 2003, two students from the school’s Jack-O-Lantern humor magazine attempted to create a mascot that “wasn’t racist, biased or sexist, yet entirely unacceptable.” Ladies and gentlemen, meet Keggy the Keg.
Perfect.
LouVision: Drinking Tecate & Watching “Dead Snow”
I agree with the Swiss-German chick. APRIL FOOL’S DAY is a classic.
(Also this is a test of my WordPress for Blackberry).
