Ryan Leaf Ain't Got Shit On Me

Sports! My football career: As a viewer/fan/pseudo-pundit, sports and I get along wonderfully. As a participant, sports and I get along terribly. I’ve always been terrible at sports and my steadfast laziness makes the idea of practicing repugnant. I like to “play” sports far more than compete in them. So how the hell did I end up briefly (very briefly) on a high school...

"Goodbye Moderation!"

We’re year nine into the Willenium, and it appears year ten into my slow descent into alcoholism. If I have my personal booze history right, it’s been ten years since my first night drinking. Judging by my W.C. Fields-esque nose you might guess that I’ve been drinking since 1968. This would be quite the feat, as that would mean I started drinking seventeen years before I was...

Reno 911! - Lottery I read the Tweet today, oh boy: @thomaslennon: “Reno 911! was cancelled at 1:30 pm today. Won’t be wearing the shorts again.”“ It’s not the same as John Lennon being all humdrum about Tara Browne’s death in A Day in the Life (But who will be the next heir of Guinness, we all asked after being informed of the news through song as was...

SO DAN! (A Rebuttal)

Claims of Lady Gaga’s dickery, wangpossession and sausage-storing are patently absurd. Additionally, claims that Lady Gaga is in possession of any good tunes are equally as absurd. If anything is in Lady Gaga’s shorts, it’s (justified) Rosin Murphy fashion worship. Let’s roll a clip. Or link to one anyway. Clip! Your thoughts, Amy? Answers can be written, drawn or...

Toronto: Discover The Feeling

“You’d better come to play” complete with pictures of lions. Am I being tough talked by Toronto’s 1980s tourism board? It’s still better than their original slogan: Toronto - Fulfill Your Homeless Sex Fantasy. h/t Torontoist

Saturday Night Live - Jimmy Tango’s Fat Busters Before Funny People, I saw a trailer for the latest A Christmas Carol adaptation. For some reason I get the startling suspicion that Jim Carrey is slowly becoming an awful lot like Calculon in his performance style. This may be a gollumesque development when one craves an Oscar too much. I don’t mean to knock Jim Carrey. He’s...
