« Previous EntriesChristina Hendricks: Role Model
Monday, January 31st, 2011Men want her and women want to be her. Plastic surgeons say the [upward] trend [in breast enhancement surgery] is due in part to the popularity of the television series Mad Men – and of Christina Hendricks, its voluptuous star. Statistics to be released by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) on Monday [...]
Henry Cavill Cast As Superman
Monday, January 31st, 2011The star of The Tudors – an Englishman – landed the plum role this week, and production on the reboot should be starting soon. Personally, I’m think the trend to casting British actors in these roles in disturbing. First Welsh actor Christian Bale is cast as Batman, then American-born and British-raised Andrew Garfield was given [...]
Why Can’t I Just Eat My Waffle?
Monday, January 31st, 2011Or, in this case, throw it? The sport of hockey is used to crazy things being thrown on the ice… hats, octopus, plastic rats, but eyebrows were raised on Dec. 20 when a Toronto Maple Leafs fan threw waffles on the ice after the Leafs lost to the defending Eastern conference champions the Philadelphia Flyers. [...]
Weight Off My Shoulders
Sunday, January 30th, 2011So, here’s my issue. I made Weight Watchers points every day this week, save for one. I said no to Buffalo wings and pizza in work this week to do that. I played ice hockey on Sunday night and shoveled snow almost every day this week. You would think there would be good things waiting [...]
Why Did It Have To Be Snakes?
Sunday, January 30th, 2011So, is anyone out there looking for a house? There’s a five-bedroom single in Idaho. It has everything you could ever want or need. Great schools, terrific location, snakes, crime-free neighborhood . . . What’s that? Yeah, the residence may or may not have a snake problem. I’m guessing Indiana Jones won’t be placing any [...]
Jaime Pressly: Single Again
Sunday, January 30th, 2011I really thought this was the one Hollywood marriage that would make it. It’s been reported that Jaime Pressly has filed for divorce from her husband of 16 months, Simran Singh. RadarOnline.com says the 33-year-old actress cited irreconcilable differences as the cause for the collapse of her marriage which she claims ended on December 27. [...]
Wow, I’m Shocked
Sunday, January 30th, 2011You’re Totally Sarcastic You sarcastic? Never! You’re as sweet as a baby bunny. Seriously, though, you have a sharp tongue – and you aren’t afraid to use it. And if people are too wimpy to deal with your attitude, then too bad. So sad. How Sarcastic Are You? (H/T – Ace of Spades ONT)
Xboxing Helena
Saturday, January 29th, 2011Save your son-in-law or give up a video game system? Tough call. [Allen] Begley claims that his father-in-law Joshua Seal asked him to come round to his place of work help move a saw. He claims he was then locked in a room, accused of stealing items worth $245 from his father-in-law’s business, and was [...]
Man Pisses Away His Freedom
Saturday, January 29th, 2011The Fugitive is one of my favorite films. It is the story of a man wrongly-convicted of murder who is on the run from a relentless U.S. Marshal. Now the fugitive – in this case, Harrison Ford – has a lot of close calls during the pursuit. Despite the dragnet, he escapes the close calls. [...]
Facebook: You’re Doing It Wrong
Saturday, January 29th, 2011Regular readers know the contempt in which I hold Facebook. I’m convinced it has no useful purpose, especially when it is lined up against the “I have more Friends than you” wars, the burglaries resulting from idiots telling the world they’re not home, and the ever-present love triangles. A Long Island woman allegedly mowed down [...]
