Pepe Sylvia: Amazing It’s Always Sunny Clip

chris — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 22:02:27 +0000

I’ve watched this “Pepe Sylvia” clip 30 times (at least) and it still makes me laugh. It’s probably Charlie Day’s greatest scene from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

If you have no idea what I’m writing about here but you like weird out of control comedy, do yourself a favor and figure it out. It’s Always Sunny is not to be missed.

Bonehead Move by NASA, Deleting Original Moon Landing Footage

chris — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 04:58:37 +0000

NASA is an organization filled with brilliant people. So how could NASA make such a horrible mistake as to erase the original film footage of the first landing on the moon.

The lunar landing footage featuring the first man on the moon was erased, by NASA’s account, in order to create room on the tape to record something else.

This footage captured quite possibly the most powerful event on film. Now it’s gone. Read more.

Sarah Palin Accepted $25,000 in Gifts as Governor

chris — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 06:36:31 +0000

According to an article in the Washington Post, vice presidential “candidate” Sarah Palin accepted close to $25,000 in gifts including a “gold-nugget pin” worth $1,200 from the historic mining community of Nome. That year she approved $6 million dollars in funds to the city. She received some of these gifts after forwarding an ethics reform bill to the legislature.

Granted, gifts like “an Aleut woven basket, a sea otter headband, a Tlingit rattle and an Athabascan chief necklace” (collectively adding up to approximately $1,000), a $300 whale baleen basket, a $300 woven grass fan (is that made out of the kind of grass you weigh by the ounce?), and an ivory necklace worth $150 may seem quaint, folksy, and harmless, but if you were to glad-hand me a “$2,200 ivory puffin mask”, I’d be ready to talk business with you Alaska ethics reform style.

I think what “Governor” Palin might have actually meant by reform was maybe reforming the type of gifts people in Alaska seem to give. It’s like, hey guys I’m all for whalebone chotchkas and sea otter pelt tapestries, but how about giving me something I can use, ya know.

In other Sarah Palin news, watch this video of her interview with Katie Couric. In one of her rare media talking appearances, Governor Palin gets field-dressed–err–gets dressed-down by the ever-feisty Couric. An interesting thing about this video is that you can watch as Palin shuffles through different talking points in her mind and excitedly lands on one that sounds like it might work.

Striking a de rigeur campaign pose, Palin drops a lot of rhetoric and doesn’t really say anything even though her lips move a lot. I mean, a lot of words come out, but it’s like, come on, answer the question robot-woman. She really struggles when confronted with the “I can see Russia from my state” comment in the second video here offering a stammering account of how Alaska is the entry point from Russia and how Putin “rears his head”, but to her interviewer’s credit, Couric generously helps Sar-Pal fill in the gaps and quickly moves on.

It would have been too easy.

Andy Samberg Isn’t Funny

chris — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 05:24:45 +0000

That’s it. That’s all I wanted to say.

Okay, the “Chroni-what-cles of Narnia” thing was pretty funny, but everything else he’s done, except for the “Lettuce” and “Hitting People While They’re Eating” videos, is not funny.

His Jack Johnson impression is so off base, it’s ridiculous.

Andy Samberg isn’t funny. But that’s just one man’s opinion. Weigh in on this, invisible readers. But only if you agree with me.

Support the Ban on the Phrase “That’s How I Roll”

chris — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 01:09:38 +0000

In a report from capitol hill today, it was reported that a small clause was attached to the recent Senate Appropriations bill that, if passed, would put a ban on the phrase, “That’s how I roll,” particularly when used by Vice Presidents of Sales in medium-sized banks in Southern California.

This group of professionals, or “striped shirts,” an epithet derived from this segment’s proclivity for wearing long sleeved, striped collared shirts to clubs or bars, may no longer use the popular phrase when talking about weekend or evening activities.

Still in debate is whether this group can use the all-encompassing, flashy-lifestyle evoking catchphrase in reference to their vehicles or other modes of transportation, instances in which “how I roll” is grounded in the physical realm and could actually be construed to have meaning.

Officials argued that this is a moot point because no one would ever use this phrase to convey any actual meaning.

In rebuttal, a spokesman for the group of middle managers said, “I would absolutely use this phrase to convey actual meaning. But that’s how I….Oh, I see.”
