Too highbrow for this blog? Perhaps

But if any of you enjoyed Prime Suspect, you'll enjoy this:

I'll be honest, the "probably titties" line would've been enough to get this on here.

The razor sharp execution on otherwise predictable Pacman Jones humor is just icing on the cake:

I accept your offer of surrender.

Dear Jonelle,

You have chosen wisely. This was about to go all kinds of places we should probably avoid.

It's time to take things up a notch

Dear Jonelle,

Good effort there with the whole British comedy thing. Commendable.
Now, watch the master:

Been away for a while. Sorry.

Catching up quickly:
* Yes, everyone, I am aware of this and I am excited.
* I've seen this guy on the subway before:

* The Yankees loss to Detroit in the playoffs last year produced 10 of my favorite Mike and the Mad Dog minutes ever. Dog's exuberance is memorable:

* This very first take of Weird Al's "White and Nerdy" with Donnie Osmond might actually be funnier than the finished product:

Humor has a liberal bias

So conservatives are going to try to put together a right-leaning Daily Show. Yeah, that'll work:

This McSweeney's piece on why there aren't many right-wind observational comedians is instructive:
The other night my wife and I are watching Hannity & Colmes, and she goes, "I'm cold—let's turn up the heat." So I say, "Just put on a sweater." And she gives me this look that's like, No missionary sex in the marital interest of procreation for you! And I'm thinking, "Man, if only the pansy liberals let the military flex a little more muscle in the Middle East and force an effective European coalition, we might be able to dissolve the OPEC terrorists, gain some leverage over oil prices, and avert domestic crises like this." The fellas know what I mean!

My wife complains like it's her job. About out-of-control government spending and affirmative action. And I totally agree with her. She's a spokeswoman for Rick Santorum.

"Mr. Fucking Belding Just Told Me To Shut The Fuck Up, Man!"

Belding. Romo. Concert. Journey.

We live in amazing times.

Failure to launch

Astronauts can be crazy bitches, too:
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — An astronaut drove from Houston to Florida, donned a disguise and confronted a woman she believed was romantically involved with a space shuttle pilot she was in love with, police said. She was charged with attempted kidnapping and other counts.
U.S. Navy Capt. Lisa Nowak, 43, who flew last July on a shuttle mission to the international space station, was also charged with attempted vehicle burglary with battery, destruction of evidence and battery. She was denied bail.
Police said Nowak drove from her home in Houston to the Orlando International Airport — wearing diapers so she wouldn’t have to stop to urinate — to confront Colleen Shipman.
Nowak believed Shipman was romantically involved with Navy Cmdr. William Oefelein, a pilot during space shuttle Discovery’s trip to the space station last December, police said.
Nowak told police that her relationship with Oefelein was “more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship,” according to an arrest affidavit. Police officers recovered a love letter to Oefelein in her car.
NASA spokesman James Hartsfield in Houston said that, as of Monday, Nowak’s status with the astronaut corps remained unchanged.
“What will happen beyond that, I will not speculate,” he said.
Hartsfield said he couldn’t recall the last time an astronaut was arrested and said there were no rules against fraternizing among astronauts.
When she found out that Shipman was flying to Orlando from Houston, Nowak decided to confront her, according to the arrest affidavit. Nowak drove the 900-mile trip from Houston to Orlando wearing diapers, police said.
Astronauts wear diapers during launch and re-entry.
Dressed in a wig and a trench coat, Nowak boarded an airport bus that Shipman took to her car in an airport parking lot. Shipman told police she noticed someone following her, hurried inside the car and locked the doors, according to the arrest affidavit.
Nowak rapped on the window, tried to open the car door and asked for a ride. Shipman refused but rolled down the car window a few inches when Nowak started crying. Nowak then sprayed a chemical into Shipman’s car, the affidavit said.
Shipman drove to the parking lot booth, and the police were called.

Gentlemen, start your Leno.

Ninja Turtles III? Yes, it did suck

Brilliant.

Things that piss Shredder off

I love everything about this. Ninja Turtles footage, and the one-hit wonder "Funk That!" The first part with the flyers: very well done.

"Because this..." (puts shades on) "Is what you call 'acting.'"

My favorite TV shows are now:

"Have you seen my football?"


Very little comment here, except that there is a little bit of this guy in all of us, but not so much that the continued existence of the species is in jeopardy.

A little story about Mo Vaughn...

You woke up today and wondered: Are the comments in Metsblog worth reading?
Apparently, yes:

i once took a class with mo back in the 80's and i remember him always showing up with some sort of buffalo sandwich or buffalo wing salad or something and always a 64 oz cola as well. anyway, he would chow down all day and i would always think to myself, man, the punishment that guy must lay down in the can. so one time he was wolfing down a buffalo burger with blue cheese dressing when i saw him suddenly stop, put the burger down and make a bee line for the hallway. i knew exactly where he was going and decided now was my chance to see this explosive athlete in action. after waiting a few seconds i blatently left class and chased after him, wanting to make sure i found a stall near his. well i tell you he didnt even have time to shut the door before tearing the place up. i've never seen or heard such devestation before in my entire life! it was the probably the most impressive display of bombing ive ever beheld. each day after that whenever mo would enter the room we'd all shout, make way, thunder comin thru! and if you can tell me that after witnessing a catacylsmic event of such magnitude that somehow mo vaugn should not be in the hall of fame, then i say to you, you do not know crap.
