I love me some cultures!

I enjoy yogurt... I enjoy it a great deal. That being established, I've noticed that ALL yogurt advertising is geared towards women. The more I think about it, I can't recall ever even seeing a male in any capacity in yogurt-related promotions. Come on... it's yogurt, not douche, for God's sake.

Oh, well... guess this is yet another matter over which I will develop some sort of unhealthy complex.

Such a disappointment...

Tyler Perry does a cameo in the new Star Trek film... and DOESN'T wear a fat suit.


Tsk, tsk, Tyler... you should dance with who brung ya!

Golden MySpace Classics... Texas' Citadel of Stupidity's Greatest Hits, Vol. 10

Original post date: July 14, 2007 - Saturday

Do you ever have those days...

...where, for whatever reason... usually something you can't really place your finger on, you just feel pretty? Well, I don't. Now don't get me wrong... I fancy myself quite the lovely specimen of humanity... but pretty?

How to remedy this? Perhaps if I shaved more frequently than seven times a year... maybe a nice designer fragrance...

Eh, f*ck it... too damn much work.

For God's sake...

This is an item transcribed from a recent local newscast...

HERE'S ANOTHER REASON WHY KIDS SHOULD SLIM DOWN... A NEW STUDY SAYS OBESE CHILDREN AND TEENS ARE AT GREATER RISK FOR ALLERGIES -- ESPECIALLY FOOD-RELATED ONES. THAT'S COMPARED TO THEIR NORMAL-WEIGHT PEERS. WHILE RESEARCHERS SAY THERE'S LITTLE DOUBT OF A LINK BETWEEN THE OBESITY AND ALLERGIES, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE YET THAT PROVES ONE ACTUALLY CAUSES THE OTHER. STUDY AUTHORS HOPE THE FINDINGS PROVIDE ADDED MOTIVATION FOR TACKLING THE CHALLENGE OF REDUCING CHILDHOOD OBESITY.

Really? REALLY???

Yes, either the worst study ever OR the worst news writing ever.

Is it just me...

...or do Bret Baier of Fox News Channel...

...and Rob McElhenney of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia kind of resemble characters from Rankin/Bass holiday productions???



Hmmmmmmmmmmm???

Ted's Favorite Hockey Injuries!

This is the aftermath of a sharp skate blade across the face... In November, 1986, Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Borje Salming suffered this injury in a game against the Detroit Red Wings... piecing the Swedish star's face back together required over 200 stitches

March, 1989... Buffalo Sabres goaltender Clint Malarchuk was involved in a collision with Steve Tuttle of the St. Louis Blues... Tuttle's skate caught Malarchuk's neck and severed his carotid artery (another fun angle!!!), resulting in a severe loss of blood... fortunately for Malarchuk, the Sabres' athletic trainer, Jim Pizzutelli, was a former army medic and was able to pinch the artery, cutting off the bleeding and saving Malarchuk's life

Finally... this isn't one particular injury, but rather a snapshot of a hall of fame career... Terry Sawchuk, a goaltender who suited up for five NHL franchises but is best remembered for his days with Detroit, played over ten years without any sort of facial protection... the result being more than 600 stitches and a distinct visage for Sawchuk (who died in 1970 at the age at 40 from injuries incurred in a fight with New York Rangers teammate Ron Stewart... Stewart was never charged with any crime)

I was watching "Posse" on AMC earlier today...

and it was quite sad seeing so many from the film that are no longer with us... Nipsey Russell, Isaac Hayes... the careers of Mario Van Peebles, Stephen Baldwin, Blair Underwood, Billy Zane, Pam Grier, Big Daddy Kane, Tone Loc...
