For the love of Christ...

No one cares that Jerome Bettis is from Detroit.

Everyone, please stop. Just stop.

Score, score, score!

Because I care, a little piece of history: the 4th quarter of the radio broadcast of Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game.

Sleepless in Seattle trailer, remixed.

This one is very well done.

Track Jack!

Awesome if incredibly lame idea from someone who loves Jack Bauer and 24 very, very much.

What is more humiliating than being a public figure arrested for soliciting a prostitute?

Having the whole world know it's a hideous prostitute.

Oh snap!

I am reasonably sure that the lady suing Isiah Thomas for harrassment is the same lady from this story.

I have no idea what this was...

...but it involves lizards and is mesmorizing.

And on an unrelated note (really, it is unrelated, I just don't feel like creating a separate post for this):

Dear CBS,

Why are you trying to force the idea that Jenna Elfman is hot down our throats?

'Cause she isn't.

Was that the lesson you took away from "Dharma and Greg," CBS? That Jenna Elfman is hot? Not, "Jenna Elfman isn't very entertaining at all" or anything like that?

She isn't hot. She isn't even "CBS hot," although maybe that's changed, since I haven't checked in on the wife from King of Queens lately.

I bid you adieu,
mb

A more comprehensive David Lat piece

Because my hits pretty much quadruple whenever I post about him, here is today's New York Times profile of Dave Lat.

Trapped in the Closet with Jimmy Kimmel, Continued

A late link, I know. But enjoyable. And I'm too occupied with finals to find new stuff right now.

A random observation

Is it just me, or does everyone seem to have bought stock in the word "peripatetic" at once? I can't go five minutes without someone describing something as peripatetic. ESPN.com, even.

Battletoads in 25 minutes

A lot of people ask me, "What's the best Nintendo game of all time?"

I think you know the answer.

25 minutes. At times, very sloppy... until you realize one guy is controlling both characters. And there are points so artistic they recall Torville and Dean. Sometimes, it looks like he is just showing off.

American Beauty 2

As today's Google Video article in the Times notes, most of the stuff up there is crap. Especially the free stuff.

But some of it is genuinely entertaining, even if it is predictable.

Why Not?

Because your awkwardly-named ass was cancelled after a single episode.

The new season of "24" is awesome.

"24" may not be the best show on television (that's probably "The Sopranos" once it returns). But I believe that it is the most consistently rewarding. And this fifth season has gotten off to the most promising start of any of them.

So that we don't take the 24 crew's efforts for granted, here are two examples of what 24 would be like if it were wack.

Lame Jack Bauer productions:

Now, go out and enjoy the real thing.

The Redskins' season is over.

I feel like a part of me has died. Thanks for the memories, Clinton.

Isn't this an old joke?

This stuff actually happens. Beware, philanderers.
