I recently watched an episode of Knight Rider for the first time in about 20 years, and all I can say is that if this is indeed created, then for God’s sake destroy any imperfect prototypes. The last thing we need is a renegade research station on skiis acting like KARR.
New $100 Doll Smarter Than Your Daughter: “A CREEPY new doll called Amazing Amanda from Playmates Toys (on sale next month for $100) is more intelligent that your child — so intelligent she can “recognize” her own poop.” I don’t think I have any comment for this.
The fact that this page exists, and is not a joke, is enough to make you weep for the land of the free. Why aren’t people more outraged by this? Facism begins by exaggerating the threats to your safety and security and asking you to compromise in order to meet those threats. As the man […]
Putting for the Fences :
What makes the words ‘’professional miniature golfer’’ so funny? Is it the fact that the 167 members of the Professional Putters Association and the 80-odd members of the U.S. ProMiniGolf Association compete so hard for so little money?
That and the fact that you can’t help of tiny, golf-ball-sized humunculi in outrageous […]
Nice knowing you, Bill of Rights. It’s been awesome.
Two business professors, Robert Schindler at Rutgers and Morris Holbrook at Columbia, have spent years conducting studies in which they ask hundreds of subjects between the ages of 20 and 80 to compare current and past cultural offerings… The professors also asked a diverse group of subjects to rate celebrities, movies and cars from across […]
Coming in at #1 on the list of things I didn’t think I was going to find randomly on the internet today is Frank Black interviewing Ray Bradbury and talking about Jacques Tati.
Frank Black: The one filmmaker who has been able to make me cry is Jaques Tati.
Ray Bradbury: Well, I knew him very well, […]
The Awful Forums - Memories of an old Chicago Cop
I was a cop under hizzoner da mayor 66-70. And back then there were two important things to know about Chicago.
First, the government and the police and fire departments were corrupt. For example, while one fireman is checking out the smoke in your living room another […]
Paper pulls classic hoax on vanity publishers:
Mohammed Aissaoui, of Le Figaro, said: “These committees should have been surprised at the literary quality, at the style of this text and at the absence of faults, which contrast sharply with what they usually receive.”
I declare this phenomenal song from the upcoming My Morning Jacket album to be the song of the summer: Off The Record. Because songs that leave no jams unkicked-out while being inadvertantly topical cannot be denied.
The word on the street has it that Nas got into a bidding war with Puffity Duffity Daddy over what is supposed to be the Holy Grail of beats, a beat by uber-producers the Neptunes. The final bid? $2 million smackers. Nas paid $2 million dollars for a drum track. But it’s all about the […]
AMC TV Monsterfest Classic Horror Trailers
Paul Philips:
This year, I have a new chemical weapon: Modafinil. Like Adderall, it stimulates wakefulness and enhances focus but without the annoying side effects of an amphetamine—for me, reduced appetite and insomnia. Drugs are not a substitute for healthy living habits, but the WSOP isn’t a spa. With Modafinil, I feel well-rested even on limited […]
Other grammatical features are less widely known but are no less important. SAE [Southern American English] also modifies the English auxiliary system by allowing for the use of more than one modal in a verb phrase. For instance, for most Southerners “I might could leave work early today” is a grammatically acceptable sentence. It translates […]
I haven’t seen the show, but I’m thinking of starting up one of those famously effectual online petitions and sending it to Bravo. It will be called “Stop Being Bobby Brown.”
Which is odd, because while I don’t want to watch it I’m not sure I want it to stop.
