How much fun it is to post a Kids In The Hall video clip on an online forum? Too much fun, that’s how much. More than twenty years after their debut, the Kids’ material is still (mostly) relevant.

One of my absolute favorite things to order in our local “greek style family restaurant” is called “The Gypsy Steak.”
It’s served in a ceramic skillet, and it has a layer of hash browns, then veggies, then steak, then eggs, then cheese. Throw some ketchup and hot sauce on there and it’s all good in the neighborhood.

Apparently the spreading of crazy rumors isn’t only a United States thing. Customers in the Rhondda Cynon Taf, Rhymney and Caerphilly areas of Wales got their panties in a bunch, because a letter was sent out that some repairs were being made to the local water works.

Jeez Louise, already. Continue reading

Feeling lazy? Too hot to cook? Find yourself a sushi house and head over there with a few friends. Be sure to save me a seat! Continue reading
Over the last 10 years, the Fertitta brothers spent a boatload of money promoting the Ultimate Fighting Championship and getting it licensed to exhibit fights in Nevada. Once the UFC was a legitimate sport, the makeup of the Vegas crowd changed. Gone were the moms and dads and their children. Vanished were the retirees in gem sweaters and orthopedic shoes.
Suddenly, young men puffed up on steroids, swilling eau de toilette and wearing skin-sucking Christian Audigier t-shirts covered with far too much glittery crap, started invading the Planet Hollywood and Hard Rock hotel/casinos. They brought their Lucite platform heel wearing, Forever 21 dress bearing, spray tan having, foul mouthed girlfriends. Continue reading
No one is made of stone, and therefore no one should be expected to resist the animal charms of Alex Pettyfer. No, they should not.
That being said, one can ravish one’s eyes on Mister Petit-Four’s person in a science-fiction-slash-fantasy thriller currently in theaters, known as I Am Number Four. Read no further if you have not seen this cinematic masterpiece. Spoilers after the jump. Continue reading
