This is legitimately the best sports movie ever made. It’s probably one of my favorite films of all time. If you’ve never seen it and watch it, it will be yours too.

This Sums it up Nicely
Samantha Bee, Geeeeeendawg and I are totally on the same page.

“All Februaries are without a doubt, the Worst Months in any given Year. Unpronounceable. Cold. Gray. Barren. A dumping ground for feature films. The month when you have finally used up all the tasty frozen preserves that you slaved over in a burst of super green eco-energy last summer. Now all you have left is...

Despite the inherent irony of writing an article about tea party movements for the New Yorker crowd, the New Yorker does a great job at asking the bigger questions about controversial issues.
Freedom
My roommates are gone for the remainder of this week and the first part of next week. With great freedom comes great responsibility. That’s why I chose to clean instead of doing something fun.

Is the owner of Whole Foods like David Cross playing the Tofutti guy on Mr. Show? Yes, yes he is.

Two Celebrity Musings of the Day
1. I wonder what it’s like to be in Courtney Love’s brain. I hope it proofreads what she writes and still finds it appropriate anyway.
2. I’m in love with Mindy Kaling (Kelly Kapoor from The Office). Can we please be friends? Please?
Oral Roberts is Dead
This is one of those times when I can really get behind the phrase, “Thank God.”
Less than clever ideas that are still true.

These are my coffee shop ideas
Today’s topic: $2 bills. Because of their inherent silliness, I believe that when giving change for $2 bills you must give the change in form of some other type of strange denomination. In example, your change is 55 cents. I kindly hand you 1 Kennedy Half Dollar and 1 Buffalo Nickel (I’m pretty sure these don’t exist anymore). As I always say, pay it forward. Bitches.

Skeletor: "An obscure member of the party" →
In the link above from The Huffington Post, Tim Johnson is referenced as an “obscure member of the party” (GOP). Thank God someone else is beginning to realize it. Johnson serves on multiple House committees, including the House Committee on Agriculture. If there was one thing I learned from my role as “Tim Johnson” in my Political Science course on the U.S. Congress,...

I find it amusing to write any sort of dogma of what certain groups of people should/should not like. I like my hipsters with some substance. Unfortunately, very few come with any these days.

24 Cable Snooze
After several months of watchiing nothing but CNN in the afternoons at work, it is now clear to me that there is absolutely nothing going on in the world. Thanks CNN, it was getting hard for me to be empathetic anyway…

What does college smell like? It smells like stale beer and cigarette butts. It smells like sex, drugs, rock and roll. Mostly, it smells like that one thing that you know you’ll never smell again. It smells like the kind of heartbreak that it is impossible to describe to anyone else because it only belongs to you.
What does college look like? It looks like empty beer cans on a front lawn and...

Provoking thought of the day
Is it better to feel like you’re on speed or feel like you’re in Speed?
The Secret Family Recipe
Hypothetical question: Would the Bush’s Baked Beans brand suffer financially due to the leaking of their secret family recipe? I posit that no, no they would not. I honestly do not think that Mr. Bush would sell any fewer cans of baked beans. He just wouldn’t be able to make those commercials anymore. I feel that the only people who would really suffer are the owners of the dog...
Life lessons
My friend Tim lives life “a quarter mile at a time.” My personal credo is…”it may mold soon…but it ain’t there yet.” I’ve also figured out in my 22 years that I can get pretty much anything I want. Is my skill in manipulation good or bad? In the words of Ho Chi Minh, “too soon to tell.”
Woke up this morning feeling fine
I wake up, search for what seems like forever for a pair of matching shoes and I’m on my way. I clearly brought my A-game today. And probably every day for that matter…

I think we're going to need a bigger shark
As I was doing my daily perusal of the BBC’s latest headlines, I came across a story about sharks. In the words of Tracy Jordan, “I live every week like it’s Shark Week.” Loosely translated, sharks are pretty dank.
Apparently the drug lords of some country south of ‘Mericuh also live their lives to these standards. Reportedly, officials found 893 kilos of coke...
Pirates of the...Ara-bian?
Yeah, it really doesn’t have the same ring to it. The other day as I continued to let the thousands of thoughts race through my head, an inane and interesting one popped up. How does one become a Somali pirate? I asked one of my friends what he thought. “Complete and utter poverty?”
Since I grew up in the time when pirate culture sells everything from movies to thongs (I’m...
Thunderstorms
When I was little my mommy used to tell me that when thunder struck, the angels were bowling. Well, mommy, I think one of them just got a turkey.

My graduation speech
I’d probably start off my theoretical graduation speech with…”As we sit here reveling in our collegiate grandeur, I remember that I’ve been here for four years. More importantly, however, I’ve had Facebook for four years.”
“(604): I hate you, and I hope you have babies soon that you love very much. Then...”

I fell asleep with Ira Glass whispering in my ear last night. He truly is the Friendly Man. Except for the rumors that he’s not…I still <3 him anyway. Keep it American, Ira.

What a waste of 30 mil →
He’s 1 for 18. He was ejected from Wrigley Field for the first (in a presumably long line of ejections to come). That’s right folks, MILTON BRADLEY is only worth 30 mil as a sideshow.
