 PD

Wow:  pediment - Lub

 

Now:  Phil Dalhausser:  The Thin Beast

 

So we have entered the playoff era.  No more computers….so no more K-State

 

First trailer for Dredd came out….as with Total Recall, I’m less excited than I should be. L

 

I knew you’d say that.

 

James Cameraman is filming an unpresidented three sequals at the same time.

 

How is it that I am 31 years old, and I am only now discovering the simple but extraordinary delight of combining a sweet pastry with a cup of black coffee?  I’ve opened up a new door to a whole new universe of food!

 

K-State’s defending two time national champion is heading to London!

 

Does anyone else think that the “hiding place” in the Millenium Falcon was a little sucky?  That’s like a cop saying, “I’m sorry I didn’t search the trunk for doobage Sarge, but how was I supposed to know that the car had a trunk.

 

King James is younger than Michael was when he won his first title.  (Note:  I am not saying LeBron is better, nor am I saying he is not a total tool)

 

Did you hear about the caddie on the European tour who accidently put an extra club in the bag?  So, on the second hole he tried to ditch the club in a bush and another caddie casually said “Hey buddy, what were you doing in that bush?” and the guilty caddie broke down under the extreme scrutiny and quickly uttered a full confession.

12.25, Sizzling Summer

 

I saw these and I thought . . . where have I seen that orange chain before . . . ?

Second Grade Flashback

Happy first day of summer!  

 

During the summertime, when I was a kid, I used to think “When I grow up, I’m going to have to go to work every day during the summer.  No Breaks for 40 years.  How depressing L”  Of course now that I’m grown up and I’m actually here, I think  “Yep, I was pretty much right”.

 

Nickname of the Week (NoW):  Atlanta: The big peach

 

Why does the auctioneer have to talk so fast? 

 

WoW:  indemnity - LUB

 

Serious question:  I know nothing about race car players, but is “Junior” the Anna Kornacopia of Winston Cup?  Because I heard that he won his first game in 4 years.

 

16.3 Petaflops!  1955 Emit Brown would have blown a blood vessel in his brain for sure.

 

NY Ban Update:  Now they are talking about movie theater popcorn and drinks containing milk

12.24

 Once again . . . not fake

WoW:  Hark - LUB

 

Countdown to 2012:  Need a jogger companion?  Go drone with “Joggobot”.

 

“Premium Rush” looks like it’s going to easily be in the all-time top-2 list of bicycle-messenger movies, second only to Kevin Bacon’s “Quicksilver”.

 

mmmmmm….Bacon Sunday at BK……

 

Remember Clint Eastwood and that movie about “The Rock”?  (not to be confused with “The Rock”).  The only three men to ever potentially escape, will have the warrants for their arrest expire on their 100^th birthdays.  Luck-eeeeeeee

 

It’s final:  Coroner finds that a dingo did eat her baby.

 

Mr. K, owned at the K.  (Mr. Z to the layman)

 

San Fran is going Collin Ferral and Tom Cruise…...Pre-Crime

12.23

This is really a new law

 

New York bans pop.  Don’t freak out, they only banned pop that is larger than 16 ounces.  I think they tried to ban salt in food a couple years ago, and everyone was like “wait….did, did, did…did you say…..salt?”

 

The third trailer for Abraham Lincoln:  Vampire Hunter  just came out.  Honest Abe was a tough emineffer.

 

In New Jersey, it’s click-it or ticket….for Fido.

 

Venus crossed the face of the sun yesterday.  Next time it happens will be 105 years.

 

Countdown to 2012:  I went by the ammunition section at Walmart the other day and they were sold out!  So, that either means Walmart does not know how to run a business and manage inventory, OR naked-zombie-cannibal-apocalypse.

 

Avengers just passed Batman, Part 2, and is now the third highest grossing film ever (behind a couple James Cameran movies…the hack).

 

WoW:  Markedly – LUB

 

T-dub:  Now winningest ever

 

Have you heard about the latest legal drama/comedy from Hollywood?  Kevin Costner and Stephen Baldwin are wrapped up in a zany lawsuit and from there the hijinks ensue.  (note:  real life)

 

I just saw “Man on a Ledge” with Ed Burns.  It re-kindled my old 90’s man-crush….  I’m kidding

 

Anderson Cooper just had a birthday this week…00’s crush man-crush……..kidding…..sorta

12.22

 ABC's

They caught the killer of the world’s first Milk-Carton-Kid!

 

Countdown to 2012:  Simian Foamy Virus is the next HIV, no big dilly

 

Speaking of ABCs, do you remember that group “Another Bad Creation”?  I heard the song “playground” on the 90’s channel coming into work today.  Weren’t they a bunch of kids, or am I thinking of Criss-Cross?

 

You’re wondering what is 4k?  It’s got 8.8 million pixels, that’s like a 9 megapixel photo for each frame!  1080p is about 2 million pixels.  The 4K stands for roughly 4000 pixels wide, whereas 1080 means 1080 pixels tall.  They think that future technology might allow a 4k movie to fit onto a blu-ray disc, but good luck streaming it from Netflix without google fiber (requires 20 Mbps).  I guess that new 60” LED that you just bought is basically a paperweight.  HAHAHA

 

Avengers:  Fastest to 500 Mills

 

MIBIII:   <<<Insert Ren & Stimpy Foghorn Sound>>>

 

Last month was the 20 year anniversary of the Rodney King Riots (remember the sublime song?)  It made me think of the Doogie Howzer, M.D. episode with The smurfs Neil Patrick Harris.  He was treating dozens of people in the hospital who had gotten hurt in the riots, and one guy was carrying a brand new ghetto-blaster (stolen of course), well anyway, if I remember correctly, Doogie had a talk with him and turned his life around.

 

Word of the Week (WOW):  Rustication – Look it Up, Bitch (LUB) Pardon my French

 

I think Robert Zimekus has made two movies in his whole career that were better than terrible.  It just so happens that they were maybe two of the best movies of all time.

 

A lawyer, a dentist, and a naked-cannibal walk into a bar……..too soon?

12.21

 Looks like we got another Citizen Kane on our hands

After watching Ghost Protocol, I was jones-ing for more mission, so I re-watched MI-III.  I had forgotten that in order for him to “get the girl”, Ethan Hunt pretends to be a Transportation Engineer.  Works every time.

 

One in three divorce filings contain the word ‘”Facebook”.   More on apocalyptic evil androids later.

 

I just saw that movie, “Regarding Henry”.  It’s the one where Harrison Ford gets brain damage and has to learn to walk and talk again.  In the beginning of the movie, John Legozommo shoots Dr. Jones twice, once in the forehead, but strangely enough, it was the bullet in his shoulder that caused the brain damage.

 

The Avengers pulled into 5^th place all time ticket sales, and they show no sign of slowing down.

 

Meanwhile, at $20 mill, Battleship had the worst opening weekend of any $200 million movie.  Even John Carter was able to make 25 (ouch).

 

Did you hear about the SEC/Big12 bowl?  This is supposed to be the equivalent to the Rose Bowl.  So the analysts are saying that this could be the four-team playoff someday, with the winner of this bowl and the winner of the rose bowl to play for the national championship.  Sorry ACC and Big East, but as a consolation, the transition to flag football will come naturally for them.

 

New Era:  This week we had the first commercial space flight to the international space station.  Evil androids are next.

 

Speaking of the apocalypse, they say that the reason the Facebook price was so inflated, was because they are assuming that someday they will be able to make additional profits from sources that are yet discovered.  For example, they think that someday all online activity will need to go through facebook, so facebook will be a requirement for commerce.   Hmmm, I think I have heard this before, like in the book of revelation.  Yikes, Sell your stock before the price hits $6.66

 

I’m not joining facebook.

 

We live in scary times.  Evil is everywhere.  Silver lining:  Trailer for Anchorman 2 is out!!!

12.20

 

Hands

Rare two in a row English speaking Olympics.  We should go.  We won’t have to learn another language.  It would be worth it, just to see the biggest McDonalds in the world (1500 seats!).

 

Has anyone else seen Cameron Crows “We Bought a Zoo”.  Matt Damon’s character banks at Cap Fed!  I looked it up and the most remote branch of the Topeka based bank is in Wichita, so it’s an odd movie reference since the setting is southern California (I barely noticed it.  It was his debit card at home depot).  I’m not sure what Crowe’s obsession with Topeka is, but I googled it and was reminded that “Almost Famous” also had a Topeka reference in it. 

 

The Kaw made the top 10 list of most endangered rivers in America.  It’s the only one on the list that is endangered for sand dredging.

 

Jennifer Lawrence has top billing over Bradley Cooper.

 

I went to the treasurer’s office on Monday, 10 minutes after they opened and the line was 60 people long, so I said “screw this”.  I went back today and the line is 110 people long.     <<<insert Debbie downer wah-wah-wah music>>>

 

Got Noles?
