While I search for time/ inspiration to do something on my own, I'll fill the void with another link:


This time it's a well written plea for the CW to save Reaper. My ten cent review:


It's a show, that I don't get crazy pumped to watch like Lost, but always enjoy the hell out of it. In a sense, it's sort of like a butterscotch krimpet. I'm never really craving one, but always find myself enjoying it immensely. Reaper is light, sweet, and always provides a few chuckles. Just don't confuse it for it a tandy cake.

Bleu, Blanc, et Rouge, but mostly black and blue

So...ever have an idea about writing something, whether it be an epic novel (ala Moby Dick) or a blog post (ala this one), and then someone else gets around to it before you...and "maybe" did a better job?

Right...that might have happened to me. I planned on writing about the hot topic de jure in the NHL...the ticky-tack suspensions and inconsistencies of the league enforcing these wimpified penalties in the playoffs.

Well, Puck Daddy over at Yahoo got around to it first. (damn use guys whose actual job is to write this stuff!)

On to plan B....Moby Dick II: The Wrath of Dick.

frank the tank vs. wild

This should be awesome.

LOS ANGELES — Will Ferrell says it was a thrill to join adventurer Bear Grylls for an icy episode of Discovery Channel's "Man vs. Wild." The channel said Wednesday that Ferrell and series host Grylls spent two days in Sweden's mountains and glaciers for a "Man vs. Wild" special. With Grylls as his guide, Ferrell rappelled down frozen waterfalls, scavenged for food in the forest — including reindeer eyeballs — and improvised snow shoes from saplings. Ferrell said being part of "Man vs. Wild" was the "thrill of a lifetime." In turn, Grylls said he did an amazing job in unforgiving
conditions. The episode is set to air in early June, coinciding with the release of Ferrell's new comedy-adventure film "Land of the Lost."

Heh...eating reindeer eyeballs. Bear Grylls thought he'd be grossing out Frank...unfortunately he didn't realize that eating reindeer eyeballs is part of the initiation process for Lambda Epsilon Omega.

Oh please let this be true...

Just once, I'd love for a State DVD release statement/ rumor/ comment to be true (via movieweb.com):

It seems that one highly-acclaimed cult-classic TV series will finally be coming to DVD this summer. Sci Fi Wire recently caught up with Thomas Lennon while promoting his upcoming film 17 Again, and he said that The State will finally be coming to DVD in a full-series set on July 14.

"July 14th," Lennon said in a news conference on Sunday in Beverly Hills, Calif. "For real: Bastille Day. The whole g--damn thing. I have no idea why it's coming out on Bastille Day, but it's coming out on Bastille Day."Lennon also revealed why it had taken so long for the series to come to DVD: issues with the music rights and the fact that the hardcore fanbase isn't overwhelmingly large."There was a lot of music clearance issues, and then, you know, it's a cult show," Lennon said. "The fans are die-hard, but there's not tons and tons of them."Lennon also said there would be deleted scenes and commentaries on the set.

Please insert your favorite State line here:

Yeah...another facial hair related post

I couldn't resist...this is awesome:

By June, if I don't look like Tom Hanks right before he gets off the island in Cast Away (spoiler alert) then the B's didn't fair so well and you may not want to bring any of this up to me until at least December...maybe January of 2010.
