I'm still quietly judging you.
I'm Starting to Worry about the New York City Midget Population: Need to know what that thing is called when two jacked midgets are painted orange and you have to park between them? (Human Parking Cones) Or what's that thing when a a midget on roller skates, wears all your clothing and then you pull them through an airport? (Human Suitcase) Check out the definitions for all of Saturday Night Live's Stefons unique sights and experiences here.
Wherefore Art Thou, ColecoVision?: Actually, ColecoVision would be too well known and mainstream for this list of 11 forgotten video game systems. In like 5 years time, there's going to be so many of these things on Antiques Roadshow and whole TV series devoted to restoring these "forgotten classics." Sometimes the future bums me out.
If Only My Mutant Ability Was to Not Get My PSN Account Hacked...: Remember the X-Men arcade game? I mainly remember it eating my coins as I chose to play that in the lodge instead of skiing. I'm not an outdoorsy kid. In any case, it's back on X-Box Live and PSN and here's the trailer below:
Cowboys & Aliens & The Guy That Has a Cup on his Wrist: Want to make a gauntlet like in the new movie Cowboys & Aliens using the special 7-11 slurpee promotional cup? Well, here's the instructions! I'm still uncertain about this movie - I guess it could be good...it all depends on how little or how much Harrison Ford gives a shit.
I'm Guessing Rebecca Black's "Friday" Was Ineligible for Some Reason?: Feel the need to mutter "bullshit" and disagree with the subjective ratings of others? May I present to you the 100 Greatest Music Videos of all time, as compiled by NME. There's some great stuff there - but also some terrible terrible choices. Your opinions are bad and you should feel bad.
Still Not as Bad as the Movie: I can't believe I haven't posted this before. There was a movie version of Dragnet. It was awful. It starred Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd. They were awful. There was a rap song about the various happenings in the film. It was awful. And it's performed by Aykroyd and Hanks. Just...yikes. And the video, is somehow even worse. It Must Be Seen. Tell the story! Never let history forget what happened!
