  1. Really, Mike and Dan are the only ones twice your age I think. But seriously, good choice. I still don't give out my full name on the internet and I'm 25.

    There are a few members older than Dan and myself. Off the top of my head, I believe Tom Deja and Derrick Ferguson are two of them.

    Others include GoFlash and Methuselah.

  2. Not strictly just watching, but I'm bingeing on stand-up comedy today. Watched a bunch of Stewart Lee, stemming from finishing up his Sunday lunchtime show TMWRNJ's first season once again, moved on to my first Bill Hicks shows which I thoroughly enjoyed, and finally am watching some Josie Long. She's not the best known name but I'd heard good things and I've enjoyed her appearances on various quiz shows, even with Charlie Brooker leering at her over his cue cards.

    Hicks is very close to David Cross, so he's right up my alley. Definitely looking for more of him.

    Bill Hicks, as fantastic as he was, is the 2-Pac of stand-up. He's had more albums released when he was dead than he when he was alive. That being said, you can't tell me that his rants against authority from damn near 20 years ago aren't still applicable to authority today. It's an interesting indictment into just how little as a race we've progressed in 20 years.

  3. The latest TNA press release...

    Next week, TNAwrestling.com will debut a new interview-based column to be written by Booboo Stewart, one of the stars of the popular "Twilight" movie sagas. The 15 year old teen sensation is taking Hollywood by storm and was recently named as the star to watch in 2010 by Twist Magazine. We are excited to have Booboo aboard as he is said to be the next big thing and is also a huge fan of professional wrestling.

    Since he was 3, Booboo has always been one who loves action as he began training in karate and several years later, he and his two of his sisters (Maegan and Fivel) went on to be inducted in to the Jr. Black Belt Hall of Fame as well as all three winning World championships in all Divisions two successive years.

    Booboo found his love for wrestling when at the age of 5 he would accompany his father, former pro wrestler Nils Stewart, to a wrestling training center in Mission Viejo, CA. He was doing backdrops off the ropes by the age of 6.

    Booboo started in the film industry at the age of 9 with a small part in a film his father and sister Maegan were working on called Skeleton Man. In a short time he was working steadily landing such roles as a recurring character on Everybody Hates Chris, working as a stunt double for the character Beowulf in the hit film "Beowulf" and became the most working young male model in the business. At the age of 12, Booboo expanded his career by receiving a record deal with Walt Disney Records and toured with Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, The Cheetah Girls and others.

    In 2009, Booboo won the most coveted role available to young men -- playing Seth Clearwater in the incredibly successful Twilight Saga. His first movie in the series (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) comes out this summer. In recent months, he has been gracing the pages of all the teen magazines and 2010 looks to be an incredible year for this rising superstar.

    This past October, Booboo attended TNA Bound for Glory in Irvine, California, his first live TNA Wrestling event, and was hooked. He enjoyed the show so much that he wanted to find a way to become more involved with TNA and thus, 15 Minutes with Booboo Stewart was born. His first interview will be with TNA World Heavyweight Champion "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles.

    Check back this coming week for the debut of Booboo's column!

    ...I got nothing.

  4. Fuck a duck. I'm pretty drubnk (prepare yourself, Mike) and I just picked up the one litre bottle of winter ale I've been drinkgin and smashed it into one of my front teethg. Goddamn.

    Minor annoyance tonight. Once the alcohol wears off, you'll really need to vent.

  5. If you don't know what a Rube Goldberg machine is, it's basically one of those really complicated machines that uses ramps and pulleys and all kinds of crazy convoluted stuff to do something really simple like turn on a light or something. Or like the ones from those car commercials...

    Or a trap in a Saw movie.

    Or every single death in a Final Destination movie.

  6. I can hold my silence no longer. I fucking love Rebirth. It's one of the few trades that I have gone back and read multiple times. My knowledge of Green Lantern at the time was limited to my step dad's GL/GA trade and the one issue that crossed over into Reign of the Supermen, and I still had no trouble following along. Everything was explained to my satisfaction, the retcons not only made sense but added to the overall story, and all of the characters felt real (or as real as a story involving super-powered beings, power rings, and the living incarnation of fear can be). I put this right up there with Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men run as the best comic book story I've ever read and gave me a man-crush on Geoff Johns. Yeah, Van Sciver's gets a little wonky (especially with Sinestro's head), but it enhances the story being told for the most part.

  7. I'm saving Die Hard for christmas, after all, it is the greatest christmas film of all time.

    I'd probably put Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, and the original Miracle on 34th Street ahead of it actually.

    Seriously, you'd put Randy Quaid, a plastic leg, and the princess of pretension over, "Yippie-kai-yay, mother fucker,"?
