"Winnebago Man" looks terrific

Dying to see this.

When bad = awesome

This looks sweet. I'm a sucker for certain bad movies (e.g., Howard the Duck), and one of the reasons I love film in general is that it brings people together. Sometimes, deeply awful movies are better at that than extremely good ones, and this documentary is proof (as is David Schmader's long-running, unfailingly hilarious Showgirls shtick.)

Romance, the J-Lo-Hew way

Gentleman, do you want to impress your lady? TV's Jennifer Love Hewitt has some tips for you. Including this one:

From the list of "What A Man Should Know": "How to pick a diamond," and "To always have a coat for you." A coat for you? Always? He should always have a coat for you?

I know I always have a coat for my lady. Didn't even need a bad actress to tell me. That's just how I roll.

Many thanks to Michael for letting me know about this one.

TK title of blog post

Today at work, Sheri pointed out one of the funniest newspaper bloopers I've seen in years. Though it's undeniably "yuppers" that takes it from good to great, I also like that it's easy to misread "jumphed" as a nonsense word (rhymes with "galumphed") rather than what it's intended to be ("jump headline," i.e. the headline following the jump from the previous page). The Union-Tribune may blame its new pagination system, but I prefer to think of it as yet another sign of print media's precipitous decline. If the industry's really collapsing, it might as well make us laugh along the way, right?

Godwin's Law: Alan Grayson edition

It's funny when apologies for imprudent speech end up causing even more controversy. What with LaRouche supporters drawing Hitler mustaches on Obama posters and Grayson using the loaded word "holocaust" to describe our health-care crisis, it seems Godwin's Law no longer applies exclusively to Usenet discussions.

Sign of the week

Reed snapped the photo at Uwajimaya, presumably with his fancy iPhone. Nothing says vegetarianism like halibut and pork!

Once again, we take the blame

Hilarious. Thanks to Mai Li for the tip-off.

"They taste so good on my salad/They're fun as a tasty snack..."

As I prepare to embark on an elimination diet, I owe Christy big time for bringing "The Carrot Highway" to my attention:



Stunning, really.
