Congratulations to The Biggest Loser: Ali!

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

Although this post is a few days late, I just wanted to say congratulations to this year’s winner of NBC’s The Biggest Loser: Couples - Ali! In the end I wound up rooting for Kelley, but the transformations that the three finalists went through were absolutely amazing. And an extra congratulations to […]

Bill Maher is a Scumbag

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Anyone who is unfortunate enough to watch this self-righteous loser’s show on HBO (a channel that my apartment will hopefully be canceling on May 1st), knows that Bill Maher is a jerk. He’s the type of arrogant, pompous prick who thinks that his thoughts are better than everyone else’s and that - because he’s […]

A New Howard 101 Friday Line-Up

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

Mercifully, the powers that be at Sirius Satellite Radio and the Howard Stern Channels have decided to give us a better line-up of programming on Fridays on the Howard 101 channel. Although they will still be replaying the near-unlistened-to (and unlistenable) Mastertape Theatre on Howard 100, there will be live programming on Howard 101 […]

The Definition of Pathetic

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Microsoft is hoping to duplicate the rabid success of Nintendo’s Wii by re-creating the Wii Remote for use with XBox 360. For all of the younger gamers out there, this is exactly what Microsoft did when it took over Netscape as the top internet browser in the late 1990’s and this is how Microsoft […]

A Good Idea Gone Wrong

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

Turner Network Television spent today playing all three Lord of the Rings movies in unison with “limited commercial interruption.” For a Lord of the Rings nerd like myself, this could have been a pretty sweet event. But there are two major issues that prevent me from truly enjoying this showing.
I should note that […]

Random Words of Wisdom

Friday, April 4th, 2008

Another e-mail from my Mom. This one contains random bits of wisdom for a variety of topics ranging from the best way to peel a banana to how not to burn your house down via your clothes dryer. Enjoy!
Peel a banana from the bottom and you won’t have to pick the little “stringy […]

Super Smash Brothers Brawl Sells 1.4 Million

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Thanks to my roommate (and new Wii owner) Dave for pointing out that Nintendo’s Super Smash Brothers Brawl recently topped the 1.4 million mark. That means that since March 9th this game has sold about 120 copies per minute. PER MINUTE! Actually, VGChartz.com reports that the game has sold almost 1.6 million […]

Biggest Losers: Maggie & Brittany

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Ugh - I hate to put up a post that is a reaction to a television show, but after watching tonight’s The Biggest Loser I had to put something up. Maggie and Brittany are a bunch of crybabies and complainers. These stupid asses don’t realize that this show is a golden opportunity. […]

The Wii Virtual Console - Awesome

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

For those of you that don’t know, Nintendo Wii has something called a Virtual Console. This is essentially a purchase and download service where you can buy old games, store them on the Wii, and play them whenever you want. First of all, this is ingenious. Nintendo found a way to charge […]

What Was the Reason for Vacation THIS Time?!

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

My apologies, folks. I started writing this post two weeks ago and I just didn’t have a chance to finish it. Two weeks ago Howard Stern and his crew went on vacation (again). This was the week of President’s Day. I was shocked - what was the reason for the vacation […]

Will Ferrell’s Latest Movie a Huge Bomb

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

Why is it such a big story that Will Ferrell’s latest movie is a huge bomb? This guy is one of the biggest “no talents” in recent history. How can anyone find a guy funny who plays the same shtick in every movie? All he does is overly exaggerate every few words […]

Lost, The Biggest Loser, Smallville, Etc

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

The current season of Lost is turning out to be pretty decent. This is definitely not the same show that started in September 2004 and I think that is rather obvious to anyone who has watched every episode. As one of my roommates said the other day, the first season of Lost has […]
