Alex Chilton

About 10 years ago I went to see Alex Chilton with a friend who knew him from way back when. I got so drunk she introduced me as her retarded little brother and he patted me on my head - as you would do a retarded little brother. One of my favorite memories. RIP

It's Water Into Wine, Not Tongue Into Eye

Science once again perverts God's perfect temple. This is most definitely not in His image. I'm sure if you look hard enough (not with your tongue!!) you can find it in the bible. What's next, a vaccine for polio?

vagabonds are sexier than beggars

Homeless chic: a strange and annoying trend that keeps getting more absurd.

Academy Award Winning Movie Trailer

Yes, Florida is getting back in the game with a vengeance. I wonder if the 3D-avant-garde-rockumentary-slash-trenchant social critique that I produce about this incident will qualify for state funding? It will be a tough call... having your ex-husband drive you to a date with your boyfriend might fall under 'non-traditional,' but being willing to die for a properly groomed bikini line shows serious commitment to traditional gender roles.
P.S. If you can think of a Bush / Florida pun to go with this story that is actually funny, I will give you two dollars. It is hard!

"pro-family, not anti-gay"

Don't gay people have families?

Or are they all disembodied souls from the "Galactic Confederacy?"

There used to be an anti-Florida thread going on this blog.  Let's bring it back.

Then again, maybe the right wing is jumping the shark here. The audacity of trying to remove the gays from the movie business seems too stupid even for florida republicans (probably not).

Hush little baby, don't say a word

Unprecedented

Oops, I mean very very precedented.

The Future Is Now

Literally and virtually. You just know that kid was the next Tim Tebow.

The answer is "fuck no."

Today the NYT asked the question "Are We Prepared for an 8.8 Quake?" 
Is this a serious question?  
Besides the obvious instance of hurricane Katrina - a threat we knew would happen - owning our shit, we have consistently shown that we're not prepared for light-weight Nature like gravity and lightning.
We are certainly not ready for "one of the strongest [earthquakes] in recorded history." 
If we get an 8.8 earthquake, the Haitians are going to have to send their f'ing rafts to rescue our asses.  
How do you say "heck of a job" in Creole?

Sorry, Warren Beatty

Next time I have a major secret to reveal, I will definitely consider whispering it backwards on my comeback album. Oh, and leaking it to The Sun before the album even comes out, totally ruining the reveal. Confidential to Cackary Taylor: start practicing.

someone sat on their logic-colored glasses

I might be a little behind the times (or in Europe) here, but I just heard about this (former) ESPN blogger/ FOOL.

Though wait... now that I see through my stupid-scented binoculars, I guess was kind of dumb of them to just put all those 10 million people on that half of an island like that. What were they thinking? (almost tempting to wonder who he thinks "they" might be, but it's just too dumb)

Hammerfall - Hearts On Fire (Curling Version)

Stop it Switzerland (Libya is crazy)

The Swiss just don't seem to understand the ways of the world. Directors and Qaddafis are not to be held responsible for crime. In response to the cute Swiss attempts to enforce their "law," the Libyans have fired back with ten times the revenge.
