Game On: Week of Dec. 10

Here is my column this week (with a special nod to Kelly). The games I reviewed were Assassin's Creed II and Left 4 Dead 2.

Playoffs? Play..Playoffs?!?!

Yes, if you've never seen Jim Mora's rant (yeah, he was a real head coach in the NFL, scary), then make sure you check it out. He might have been just a tad crazy.Well, it's time for the playoffs ... in fantasy football. If you don't know what fantasy football...

My Childhood, Bastardized (OK, not really)

I've not shied away from complaining to anyone who will listen that Hollywood just never ceases to try and re-imagine, reboot and retool every damn thing they can if it means they don't have to use a creative bone in their collective body.For those of you who don't know, they're...

Man Card Member, No. 404431, Issue 5

It's long overdue, but I have to at least share the belovedness of the turkey I smoked for Thanksgiving. I wasn't going to talk about it, but Kristin did say that I didn't shut up about how proud I was of myself for about three days at work afterward, so...

Friday Funnies XV

I'm a sucker for animal humor. Will Ferrell wrestles a bear or a cougar, and I am there. Someone leaves a tiger in a hotel bathroom, and I am laughing it up. And while I am normally under the impression that beer commercials are stupid, this one gets me every...

Idiot of the Day VI

So I went to the grocery store the other night, and when I parked, I noticed a guy who looked a little weird, almost like he was casing this BMW in two spots away from me. I thought nothing of it, went in and bought my stuff, then came back...

Friday Funnies XIV

OK, so I've been watching a lot of Penn & Teller's Bullshit show on Showtime lately. I like magic tricks (but not the stupid Chris Angel and David Copperfield kind), especially card tricks and fun sleight of hand ones. Well, this show is more about them pointing out things in...

Idiot of the Day V

Aren't I a nice guy? I gave this idiot a break by blotting out his eyes so no one knows who he is. Plus, I will probably go back to this place at some point, so I don't want to get beat up.But nevertheless, this guy is an idiot. He...

Equanimity, Part 4

I have not been able to follow up soon enough to the earlier series of posts on equanimity, but you can find them earlier this month. What it came down to was a weeklong series of events that were just crazy in the amount of hours I was working and...

Friday Funnies XIII

It's Thanksgiving, so of course this edition of the Friday Funnies has to involve the holiday. And what better way than to play the hilarious faux trailer from Grindhouse. I know I've featured it on here before, but damn if it doesn't make me laugh every time. "White meat, dark...

My Childhood, Bastardized

One of my favorite movies of all time is Clash of the Titans. I don't think I ever missed it when it was on TV. It's a true classic, and underrated in terms of all-time fun movies to watch. Seriously, people, Harry Hamlin was bare chested throughout the whole damn...

The Muppets. Good Stuff.

I love the Muppets. I loved them growing up, and they stand the test of time. And even in my older years, they still make me laugh and bring enjoyment to my days. Really, what other entertainment act satisfies and gets people of all age groups such happiness? I want...
