Phil makes me laugh: What I hate about dvr though is how some people use it for sports. I know several assholes who wait till games are over just so they can watch them really quickly. For baseball only, maybe that’s ok, but for anything important that is absolutely insane. It’s like saving all your [...]
Phil Villarreal is hilarious:
I can’t figure out exactly when the film “10,000 B.C.” is set, but it’s definitely ancient times. Like before they had cars, guns or tabloid blogs. And definitely before they had cohesive plots or dialogue that made sense.
But at least there were sabertooth tigers, mastadons and togas, and at least most of [...]
Today is Casimir Pulaski Day, the best day ever. Why? Because there is no school, and Casimir Pulaski was a badass.
I remember all Casimir Pulaski days of my youth fondly, something I cannot say about Easter. Easter is bullshit.
For years I’ve been telling people (people who promptly lost all respect for me) that there was a certain brilliance to the comic strip “Garfield.” I think this (entirely accidental) brilliance stems from the fact that the strip was conceived as a merchandising vehicle. Eventually, the mental toll of writing a daily comic strip about [...]
So I saw this cute old school version of the new Indy trailer and now I’m excited for the new Indiana Jones movie. Before, I thought it looked like crap. I guess this either means 1) I’m old and boring and uncool. 2) The ’80s actually were awesome. Could be both.
As someone who writes things for a living, I’m sympathetic to the Writer’s Strike… but I couldn’t help but notice that the Oscars seemed better this year without the writers. Limiting the content to a couple stupid montages of previous Oscar-winners wearing hilariously-out-of-date fashions is the key to making the show watchable. (I really hate [...]
Checking bags sucks. You should stop doing it. I never check bags. Ever.
I know you’re saying, “but Meg, I need all this crap.” No you don’t. You should free yourself from it by using my method of packing. It’s based on the George Carlin bit “Stuff.”
What you do: Skip to the end of the bit [...]
I wish I liked hockey and/or still enjoyed the NBA because there’s just nothing good on TV between the SuperBowl and MLB. (Exhibit A: The Pro Bowl.) Is it weird that I wish Bob Costas did election coverage?
Lately, a lot of people have been saying the phrase “it is what it is” to me. We even published a complaint in which DirecTV told the customer that it was what it was.
Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t really need people to tell me that it is what it is. I already know. [...]
