MOAB the Rehab
April 23, 2006
With Libby’s first BBQ of the season ruined because of predictably horrible Los Angeles weather, it appears she has turned to alternative forms of advertising to make the her next BBQ the *true* Mother of All BBQs (MOAB). A questionable choice for mass advertising, unless of course you are a devoted subscriber to Competitor Magazine [...]
The *real* Shocker
April 22, 2006
Starring Mitch Pileggi before he got “famous” for his roll as “Skinner” in The X-Files. Also, written on the back of the box: “Mass murderer Horace Pinker was put to death. Then he really got mad.”
2005-2006 Fantasy Basketball Results
April 21, 2006
After my embarrassing and much-discussed collapse in fantasy football this winter, I immediately redeemed myself with an excellent draft in our Yahoo fantasy basketball league. This quality draft was bolstered by a few lucky picks, including Marcus Camby, Tony Parker, and Chris Kaman (aka Tim Piper aka the guy from Tales from the Crypt), who [...]
The Midstream: A Prologue
April 20, 2006
If you’re anything like Ashwini, you’ve already mistaken the “midstream” for some part of the urine collection process.

By definition, a “midstream” [...]
EasterFest 2006: Risk
April 20, 2006

A futuristic reworking of the classical war strategy game, Risk, the new Risk 2210 AD incorporates robotic [...]
The Eagle spans the globe!
April 18, 2006
Only a person who can claim nine out of 10 shirts in their closet were purchased from American Eagle could spot this potential in this in-store AI advertisement. It is unclear what kind of person then buys the shirt in the poster and proceeds to pose in a poorly reconstructed “actual re-enactment” of the advertisement, [...]
Jay-VUN: Working to Save Social Security
April 17, 2006
Obviously, it is common knowledge that the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA) aims to educate the general public about the critical need for Social Security reform and the benefits of a personal investment-based approach. But, what mightn’t have been so obvious is that our friend, Javan Mesnard, has recently been appointed to the advisory [...]
CAPS/Bun and beyond!
April 16, 2006
It is almost getting to the point where Steve Nash aka CAPS must be going out of his way to mimic Brandon’s unique facial expressions, as evidenced by this image I found on azcentral.com this evening.
