My Brazilian Meat Adventure
A few weeks ago, I was in Pittsburgh visiting family. I had a great time and went to several great bookstores and restaurants. One restaurant in particular was rather noteworthy though. It was a dining experience unlike I’d ever had before. It was a Brazilian meat adventure of epic proportions. Continue reading
Stand With Assholes! (And Against Illegal Immigration)
You know, sometimes, I’m ashamed to be a U.S. citizen. Why? Because I share that citizenship with some of the stupidest fucking people in the world. I just found a “movement” on Facebook against illegal immigration. It takes the form of “Stand with _____ (and Against Illegal Immigration)”, where the blank is the name of your preferred state. There seems to be one for every state, but I didn’t check, because I got disgusted after just a handful. I am against illegal immigration, but I support making it easier to become a citizen, not kicking them all back to where they come from. So why am I disgusted with the people on these pages? They just can’t speak English. Oh, and they’re dumb-asses. Let the ridiculing begin! Continue reading
The New Battleship Movie Depresses Me
While I have always been more a fan of the written word, I still appreciate great movies and television shows. Throughout the years since the invention of the movie camera, there have been countless great movies made in Hollywood. The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, The Godfather, etc..Countless movies have sprung from the loins of Hollywood. Then they gave us this:
BattleShip: The Movie
Yeah, it’s based on the board game of the same name. This is just the next step in an endless procession of putrescence spewed from sewers of stupidity and further proof that Hollyweird has run out of ideas. I’d heard there was an Astroids movie, and now I feel I may have dismissed it prematurely.
This movie is in the same vein as the recent Real Steal, which I’ve not seen but judging from the previews, is a pretty clear attempt to turn Rock’em Sock’em Robots into a cash cow. It saddens me, because Hugh Jackman was a good actor.
And Battleship stars Liam Neeson, whom should have avoided this movie like Typhoid Mary.
R.I.P. Uncle Walt
My Uncle Walt died today. The one thing I remember most about Uncle Walt was he was the first person to teach me how to make a paper airplane. It didn’t fly well, but it was the best paper airplane ever.
Natalie Portman Verifies SNL
I best knew Natalie Portman from those shitty Star Wars movies where Darth Vader’s a bitch and V for Vendetta, which was pretty good. I didn’t really think too much of her, though. Click the Details button to read the rest. Continue reading
A Xenophiles Guide to Music
God knows I love foreigners. Different cultures fascinate me. As a citizen of a country that is made up of every culture in the world, it surprises me that so many people don’t like foreigners. They have so much to offer, not the least of which is their music.
Plausible Deniability
Randy, from My Name is Earl, says this while watching a guy try to kill himself in the middle of the highway. Kinda dumb show but some great lines in it.
My Guide to the Judaic Faiths
There are a lot of religions in this world. It seems that there is some inborn urge for us to believe in a higher power, and as such, many people have claimed to find the “true” way of that higher power. The problem is, with so many religions, how do you find the one that’s right for you? Here’s an easy to follow guide that explains the three religions of Judaic origin. With tongue fully in cheek.
