A Mosquito. My Libido?
- Next on the menu: Jar-Jar Tartare (I'll Show Myself Out): This holiday weekend, why not spice up the BBQ a little bit? Instead of the same old wampa on the grill (yaa-aawn), Geek Twins provides 5 recipes for Ewoks! Your move, Anthony Bourdain!
- The Amount of Alcohol Needed to Make Season of the Witch Good Renders You Blind. That is Not a Coincidence: Stuck watching a shitty movie? Want a reason to make it bearable? Need some liquid courage to reveal just how hilarious you are? Behold Film School Rejects' brilliant weekly DVD Drinking Game feature. It's pretty dope and will either quell or fuel your rage at the cinematic incompetence on display.
- Who Run Bartertown? And Do They Take Visa?: Wasteland Weekend is a 3 day excursion in the Mojave Desert where adults frolic post-apocalyptic style while paying tribute to Mad Max. The event is in its second year and looks pretty dope, its like Burning Man with angrier erections but roughly the same number of guys named "The Humungus."
- A Hodgman For All Seasons: John Hodgman's TED talk about aliens, love, Italians, Christopher Walken, Philadelphia and other disparate elements that combine for a romantic story that warms the subzero cockles of my Hoth-esque heart:
- Colbert's SuperPAC is CRUMB-BELIEVABLE!: Stephen Colbert went to Washington and turned that whole shitshow right around! Well not really, but he did get a super confusing outcome for his petition to create a SuperPAC and get a press exemption to air ads he creates with it. Huzzah?
- Wrestling Is So Fak-- DUDE WHERE IS YOUR EAR???: Wrestling is fake, like that time that dude broke his ankle. Or that other time when Mick Foley "misplaced" a large portion of his ear. Bleacher Report runs down the top 25 most painful watches in history.
- Haystack! HAYSTACK! HAYSTACK!: I was surprised that so many people hadn't heard the (now infamous) bit from an episode of The Best Show on WFMU where host Tom Scharpling and frequent guest Paul F. Tompkins react to the viral infomercial for the 2009 10th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos (seen here if you haven't witnessed it).
- I See George Wendt Hosting, Maybe with a Bossa Nova House Band Backing Him Up: Oh, Puddin', the live action single panel comic - so vulgar, so hate filled, so goddamn hilarious:
Enjoy your holiday weekend, everyone!
