So I’m leaving the apartment of a friend of mine Wednesday night, and I was walking by the neighboring apartments to exit, I saw one that had it’s curtains wide open. Being human nature, I popped a gander inside as I passed.
To my dismay, I saw a guy who looked like the lead singer of Weezer, with thick black Hanson Brother glasses lying on his couch watching TV. That in itself would be horrible, except that he was wearing no pants or shirt, and had on a pair of tighty whitey underwear, and was massaging his balls with his left hand on the outside of his underwear.
Not that I don’t condone this behavior mind you, just close your darn drapes while it’s going on!!!
Oi, but for the ladies, if you find the lead singer of Weezer attractive cause, you know, you’re a freaking moron, I got a door you can go knock on when next you are looking for a booty call! So there’s that positive I guess.
La Dodgers Outfielder Manny Ramirez was traded to the Dodgers from Boston earlier this year.
Both the Dodgers and Boston Red Sox are on the cusp of making it to the World Series.
If both teams make the World Series, then Major League Baseball rules state that Manny will get a playoff share of money from both teams. In addition, if Boston wins the World Series, even if it’s over Manny’s Dodgers, the rules of MLB state that Manny will get World Championship ring from the Red Sox.
So in other words, if Boston plays LA, then Manny will get a double bonus in pay, and a championship ring no matter what!
Seriously, there is a place for edgy, especially on Adult Swim. But this show is less thought out than my last urination, and less intelligent than Sarah Palin answering a question that she is not prepared for.
I saw this thing when it was just a pilot, and thought then that this was in need of more work than Chyna, but I did not seriously think it would actually get picked up, what with better offerings like Korgoth potentially on tap. But now here it is, in all it’s autistic glory, new every week!
Finding a new episode of Superjail on Sunday is like finding a new herpes bump. When it first happens you are filled with intrigue, but afterwards you are overcome with an array of sadness and shame.
I have 2 sisters, and I am pretty sure I would rather watch either get gang raped on Youtube than see another episode of Superjail!
If you have anything to do with Adult Swim, please make it stop. This show = the nuts of a gibbon.
If you are new to metaphor and simile, this is a terrible show that should not air any more.
I have now said what anyone who has seen this show was no doubt thinking.
Being someone who has played (And enjoyed) both Max Payne and Max Payne 2, I am puzzled by the trailers for the new Max Payne movie.
Let me briefly recap both games;
Max Payne - Max is a cop who finds his family murdered in his home. He is framed for murder, and tries to clear his name taking on both the cops and the mob. As this goes on the shock of his huge loss changes him, and drives him into madness, as he replays the minutes before he finds his dead family over and over in his mind. It’s pretty dark stuff, and Max is a humorless, brooding character. This story is told in very much the ‘Film Noir’ style, and it is a very good game, loaded with action.
Max Payne 2 - Max has cleared his name, and tries to retain a grip on his sanity. He meets a femme fatale character and a potential love interest begins. She seems to know more about the murder of his family, and maybe can help him put the pieces back together again. More action follows, and the story is told in very effective ‘Film Noir’ style again.
Anyways, that’s a really basic rundown of the stories. There is a whole ‘psychotic drug’ angle in there as well, but the basic plot comes down to Max wanting to avenge his dead family while losing his grip on his sanity. So it was really weird to see the following trailer;
Max Payne fights angels and demons? And is trying to get to the bottom of God, ‘Who is building his army’??? What the hell are they talking about?
That is like taking the characters of the Super Mario universe and putting them in a post apocalyptic zombie world………on roller skates! It just does not make sense or have anything to do with the actual story they are basing everything on.
Really? And seriously, the words ‘Other Ingredients’ is written in all CAPS on the can. Wow, you gotta love deregulation. What the heck are these 99.8% Other ingredients??? And why did they even list the ingredients in the first place if they were going to not tell you what 99.8% of them were?
I wonder if there are any other products out there that can get away with this?
I was looking for a review of the new Bill Maher movie Religulous.
When I found one, it started off with this quote;
I contend we are both atheists; I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours. — Stephen F. Roberts
So, I saw this movie yesterday as it just came out on DVD.
To be straightforward, I’ve been pro-steroid for quite a while now, and this movie does a fabulous job of starting the discussion on the topic.
I have always found it weird that the common opinion is that unregulated pills sold over the counter as ’supplements’ are totally acceptable, yet the use of steroids, potentially under a doctors watch is seen as terrible and would lead to the end of the world.
This movie asks all the questions that I have been asking for some time now. Namely if we are not free adults who already have so many legal means to destroy ourselves already, why are we not allowed to make the choice to use performance enhancing drugs?
Steroids are way better for you than alcohol, tobacco, and a plethora of other drugs, so why are those negative drugs legal, yet ones that could improve you physically are illegal?
Anyways, this movie is honest, asks great questions, and talks to all the people you would want him to talk to. In short, this is a really well made and thoughtful documentary that you should see if you have an interest in the topic.
Continuing with the theme of me whupping people, let’s take a look at how I did this year in my fantasy baseball rotisserie league this past year. We were the Badicon Zons because that name pwns.
Oh yeah I totally dominated it.
Let’s go inside the numbers as to how badly I shamed everyone else involved, shall we?
So this was a 9 team league, 5×5 style, and these were my rankings;
Ok, the baseball regular season has thus basically ended for 2008.
As you may know I like to put up my predictions and try to get other friendly websites to do the same.
Let’s go to the scorecards of myself and Team Nowell and see who won shall we?
ME: AL East: Boston (Did not win division but still made playoffs) AL Central: Detroit AL West: Los Angels Wild Card: Cleveland
NL East: Atlanta NL Central: Cubbies
NL West: Dodgers NL Wild Card: NY Mets (Just missed wild card on final day of season)
So the first time in a few years that I did not pick the Brewers to make the playoffs, and this is the year that they do it. Goes to show. I would also like to credit myself with correctly picking the Yankees to miss the playoffs.
This whole thing tabulates out to 4 out of 8 playoff teams picked correctly. Let’s compare with Team Nowell;
AL: Yankees
Mariners
Tigers
WC: Indians
NL: Mets Brewers
Dodgers
WC: Cubs
So he flipped the Cubs and Brewers, but both count since both made the playoffs. However he totally butchered the American League picks, resulting in a total of 3 out of 8 playoff teams.
Thusly, I am the winner once again this year because I am great.
Next year I am hoping to get more sites involved, so that my victory shall be even more impressive.
