Cowbs' are 4-0

This just in: Tony Romo might be a jedi. The Cowboys stomped the Rams 35-7 Sunday, and looked great doing it.

In other news, the Red Raiders routed Northwestern State 75-7. Next weekend, it's Iowa State (1-3) in Lubbock. Bring it.

"Welcome back again."

Here's a list of "recommended/forbidden words" posted in a Chinese clothing store. Smart thinkin'. I'm cracking up just picturing some employee saying "Just take it and leave me alone." Now that's ballsy. Though I'm sure I have used #2 on the forbidden list from time to time.

I think we need similar lists posted in American stores. Add to the "forbidden" list, "What did you just say?" That's just kind of rude. It's not my fault I have speech weirdness, but if you'd get the bong resin out of your ears you'd understand when someone is trying to order some damn quesadillas! Anyway, I think lists would be useful.

I mean lishts.

SNL Digital Short - 'Iran So Far'

Yes! I think SNL is finally getting great again! Lebron James was the host of last night's Saturday Night Live season premier, and it was pretty darn good, in spite of the fact that Kanye Dill-Hole was the musical guest. Here is one of the highlights, "Iran so Far", a little love letter from Andy Samberg to the oh-so-insane Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Don't be surprised if you are humming the chorus all day. It's that good.

Side note, Andy Samberg is H-O-T. Maybe it's the skinny tie and vest?

What did I jusht shay?

Wow, thish ish hard to shay:

World’s hardest tongue twister is "The sixth sick sheik’s sixth sheep’s sick."

Why do eshes gotta be sho dang hard to shay?

Cool. Still kind of depressing.

Keeping it real.

'PowerPoint' is finally online!

Yay! Erik's short film 'Death by PowerPoint' is online now at www.atombomb.tv so swing by and check it out! It is the first collaboration (actually second) between the always skillful Erik Clapp (director/writer) and the incomparable effervescent Matt Tyndall (star/muse).

If you are a fan of awesome things, make sure to check out the 'shop'. I know it's not at all possible for you to be any hotter, but an atombomb.tv hat would look mighty fine on your noggin. If you want to throw a little hotness in your puppy's direction, get him/her a doggy t-shirt! I know, I'll stop.

Seriously though, make sure to check out the atombomb.tv site and 'Death by PowerPoint'. Erik and his posse worked really hard on it and I think it shows. Pretty, pretty, pretty good!

Also, make sure to visit these sites and rate Erik's film:

Thanks so much!

The rhythm got him.

"Hungry for a dill?"

"mmmm, Pickles."

This reminded me of the infamous Barb Smith prank, courtesy of the cutest yuk monkey around, Corby Davidson. So wheels off, it's genius!

Tiny Music

He's got a lot of mouths to feed, so Mr. Fly has to take on a lot of odd jobs. I think this photo was taken at Nordstroms, where he sometimes works weekends. You'd think he'd be hard to see, but we are the same height, so I try to wave whenever I see him. Sometimes we share shoes.

Unusual Suspect

Tis' the Season (almost)

Some days, it's hard to swim...

...and even harder to smile. Then I look at this photo and the smile creeps back in. Thanks Lucy, cat of the high seas. (and pescimon and sammo who are always smiling/napping/maintaining their cuteness, 24/7)

Recycling is Good

Here's a list of 21 things that maybe you didn't know you could recycle. Looks like you can even recycle your old workout videos. I might have to bid adieu to Miss Jane, but I will remember her fondly, and painfully.

"N.Z.'s 4th Best Folk Parody Duo"

I LOVE Flight of The Conchords, and though I don't have HBO, my good buddy Poecat introduced me to the fab twosome a few months ago. I owe her many fancy gifts, because F.O.T.C. is funnier than Joe Namath drunk! (see video below)

I've only seen the first few episodes, but Poecat saves them all, so I am hoping for a watching party soon. (and a little light shopping) Click here to check out the HBO site for the show and let the gentle comedy wash over you.

Now, for something completely different, here's Joe. 'Strugggggling'...

No truer words...

Totally Rad

Yes, it's a Space Invaders doormat, and I know a few people who would appreciate having this on their doorstep. :-)

Fiery, but worth it.

Crazy enough, this site is set up to rid idiot parents of their daughters, by 'marrying them off', for cash, of course. I love this one. Let's see, she's spent more time with boys than they would like, so the obvious solution would be to get her good and married. Wow, what a practical idea! I don't know about you, but from what I've learned in life, the best way to get an acting or singing career off the ground is to get married. Her parents should be brass-knuckled. :-)

UPDATE: Fake, but still funny.

Makes me want a hug.

Praying Mantis + Cat?

Here are some other things this precious kittone reminds me of:

- an angry (very old) ninja
- an angry (very old) homeless guy
- mr. miyagi
- a chameleon on a tree branch
- a raw chicken (skin on)
- the cutest thing ever...

The Best Movie in the World!

That is not an exaggeration. Behold, "King of Kong". It is hands down one of the best documentaries I have seen, EVER! It has it all: power mullets, great 80's tunes, and kill-screens. Here is Erik's well crafted summary:

King of Kong details the proposed showdown of two top Donkey Kong players from the 80's. One is an arrogant prick named Billy who thinks he is God's gift to everything and holds the current record. Then there is Steve, a family man and goodhearted guy who always came in second in life. One day Steve video tapes himself breaking the Donkey Kong high score held by Billy. The tape is then inspected as is the game and ruled by self proclaimed Donkey Kong experts to be unofficial since it did not occur in public.

Steve decides to travel to the Video Game arcade to have it officially counted and have a showdown with Billy. What follows is several years worth of crazy happenings in this odd and cultish world of 80's video game fanatics that even have 24 hour parties of just watching video tapes of guys playing games for over 15 hours at a clip!

It is playing in limited release, but if you are a fan of documentaries, or if you are just plain smart, you will seek out this movie. Please enjoy the trailer below, and thank you for your time.

KING OF KONG RULZ!

Midget Kittones!

P-R-E-C-I-O-U-S! I think they are trying to get away from the Pepsi can, but their teency feets won't go fast enough. I'm just saying, even midget kittones know that Coke is the real thing.

3:10 To Yuma - Review

We saw "3:10 To Yuma" Friday night and it was a pretty good film. I have never seen the original, but this one felt like an old-fashioned western with plenty of gun fights, staring contests and busted teefs. I guess dentists weren't the hot ticket back then, but they sure knew how to craft a fine looking leather jacket.

It's basically your typical western plot: good guy Dan Evans (Christian Bale), and his family are in danger of losing their land due to drought and an old west mob boss who wants to build a railroad on Evans' land. Feeling like he has lost the respect of his sons and wife, Evans volunteers to help take infamous outlaw Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) to Yuma, to put him on a train that will ultimately take him to be hanged.

It's a very good story, and the characters are very real. Watching this reminds you that there are still great actors out there, and great writers, and that you don't always know how the movie will end...

The Guns are Up!

The Red Raiders defeat the Mustangs 49-9.
Hit 'em, wreck 'em Texas Tech!!!

Sneaky, but so great.
