This is an oldie I forgot about. I’m not upset. It forgot about me, too.
This was sort of like a Happy Find of the Hibbidy-Wah?! kind. It was originally on Everything is Terrible’s website, and it caused them a world of potential hurt. Luckily someone else finally re-posted it, and Warming Glow brought it back to my attention:
And this little factoid will never leave my noggin:
(via Zany Pickle via The Daily What)
The smoking baby from Indonesia may not be the first of his kind, but he’s definitely getting David After Dentist level of media attention.
In case you have (somehow) missed it, the video (via Break) is… moved to after the jump due to auto-starting issues.
(SIDENOTE: I would have went with a YouTube video, but you can’t trust any of those to stay. So now I’ll imagine you skipped ahead to the bottom of the page, or clicked on the above link, and I’ll be moving on.)
If you think that’s scary, then you haven’t seen this (via Cooley!):
From "Inappropriate Golden Books: Movies R Fun!"
Hmm, not working, eh? Perchance a toy of Bat Boy might throw you for a loop (via Comics Alliance)?
I wasn't aware he wore cut-off jean shorts.
One more thing and I give up. How about another misappropriation of a teddy bear? This time, it’s in robot form from Fujitsu (via Crunch Gear):
Hrm… That’s all I got.

I consider myself to be quite the pop culture pundit. American pop culture, that is. I’d go as far as to say we as a nation created it, although that may not be entirely true.
Imagine my Hibbidy-Wah?! reaction when my co-worker pal Dave found this YouTube video of an Italian pop star that has over 10 million hits! (I’m sure the view count has little to do with the song.)
Her full name is Sabrina Salerno and this song came out in 1987. It hit the Top 5 in most European countries (of course), but as far as I could find, it never made its way here. Let it be known that as of 2009, she was still releasing new music.
SIDENOTE: Are we sure the song isn’t really called, Buoys?
This leads me to a recent discovery of my own, and a reluctant admission.
— I enjoy watching crappy movies that are on Comcast’s OnDemand. —
There. I said it. It feels… like no big deal if I don’t list the turds I’ve subjected myself to, such as Toxic Avenger 1 & 2, Cherry 2000, Happy Birthday to Me, G.O.R.P., and most recently, Hot Bubblegum.
I miss clam shells...
The nine film series (what is this… American Pie?!) started with 1978’s Lemon Popsicle. Here’s the preview:
To anyone up on their early 80’s filmography that might have looked familiar:
The Last American Virgin was directed by Boaz Davidson… the same guy that directed the first four Lemon Popsicle films! (Think of it as precursor to our recent slew of American remakes of foreign films.)
I guess other than these revelations, I don’t have much else to say. Other than this…
— They should remake Cherry 2000 with Megan Fox in Melanie Griffith’s role! —
I'm quite serious.

This video has made it’s way around the ol’ TripleDoubleU a-plenty (why am I typing like that?), but that’s not gonna hinder me from a-placin’ it right ‘ere ag’in (it’s getting worse!)…
So wit’ that whole mess in mind, get yerself o’er ta this spiderweb sightin’ if’n ya might be fixin’ to help some kin:

Kickstarter is a place one might find ’emselves at if yer lookin’ to be like tha ol’ kings and queens were wit’ dolin’ out fundin’ to projects like tha Moner Lisa or discoverin’ tha New World*.
If’n yer more inclined to offerin’ yer services at a whoppin’ five bones a crack, then look no further than Fiverr:

Now if’n only someone could help me wit’ wha’ever ’tis I got goin’ on ‘ere, that’d be dandy.

Nobody else is like Spencer and Tracy... or so I've been told.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I. Know. Films.
But only after the release of Die Hard in 1988. It was around then I started reading Entertainment Weekly (this was my first issue) and began my film studies at Wayne State University (go Tartars, I mean, Warriors!)…
So needless to say (yet I’ll say it anyway), I’ve never seen any of Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy’s films, but I do know that they are a beloved (or at least famous) Acting! pair, the likes of which no longer exist. Or do they?
I tried scouring the TripleDoubleU for Actors! that were in more than one movie together, and alas, I found nothing definitive. So I had to scour my own brain, and this compilation was the best I could do.
(NOTE: I didn’t count sequels or comedy duos, but all you’ll see… most were only in two films.)
(ANOTHER NOTE: I know there are more – please add the ones I’m missing in the comments.)
(A FINAL NOTE: I did not count John and Joan Cusack either, sickos.)

I never realized how often characters in movie and TV shows were in so much trouble, they didn’t know they should leave. Hence the birth (and overuse) of the infamous uttering, “Get out of there!” and its ilk.
Thank heaven for 7 Eleven that no one’s ever told me to “Get out of there!”
Now “Get out of here!” I’ve heard plenty…

As I (unabashedly) brought to your attention in my last Happy Find, I started another blog called Micro Mike Rowe. I began that punny wonder on April 20th.
Then on April 26th, this bit appeared on Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! Enjoy Little Danson Man:
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Hmm… my cut-and-paste craze is barely off the ground, and one screwball skit makes a trend not.
But then yesterday, on May 3rd’s Attack of the Show, apropos of nothing, co-host Morgan Webb appeared between segments as Tiny Morgan. Alas there is no available clip of that, but this bit immediately followed it. As (barely) proof, check out Kristin Adams opening for The Feed (or check this vid at the 2:54 mark):
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Morgan Webb is much more fun to edit than Mike Rowe... Sorry, buddy...
Coinkydink? Or Coinkydonk? You decide…
We’ve been busier at work the last few months (hence me running behind on new posts at times), so my friend/boss Paul has been unable to create a new list to share. Today, before heading to golf, he created this new list to share.
CD's may soon go the way of the phonograph...

If you didn’t know, in the daytime, I work as a travelling network administrator (I almost wrote newtwork, but I got better). AnyWAN, I came across found this picture as someone’s background while out in the field:
"Godse"
I nearly lost it. It couldn’t be? It wouldn’t be? It shouldn’t be. This was in a doctor’s office on one of the laptops, and there’s no way any of the ladies working there were that subversive.
What’s the problem, you might be wondering (aside from the fact it’s fake)? Ever hear of Goatse.cx (don’t worry… the link is to Wikipedia)? Essentially, it’s the precursor to 2Girls1Cup (also Wikipedia).
According to Snopes, my hunch was correct.
Those ladies at the office didn’t know that was not a picture of God’s Hands. But if it was God’s Hands, and the break in the clouds was some other part of God, I don’t ever want to be caught out in the rain ever again…
BONUS GOOFSE!
