Well

Posted by MGK Published in Economics

It appears my investment strategy of “be broke-ass” is finally paying off for me! HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW, YOU PRUDENT INVESTMENT-HAVIN’ MOTHAFUCKAS? HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW?

SYTYCD Canada Roundup

Posted by MGK Published in Obligatory So You Think You Can Dance Category, TV

With extra notes as I actually attended the taping this week, as you are well aware. Allie and Miles: samba and Afro-jazz. (What happened to calling it “African jazz”? Is dance the last place where using “Afro-” as a prefix can still be acceptable?) Anyway, the samba was both hot and good. The tricks were […]

Pretend You Care About This Long Enough To Read It

Posted by MGK Published in The Internets, TV

Thanks to being a member of the Internet Media Conspiracy, I was invited to attend this week’s tapings of So You Think You Can Dance Canada, and I wrote an article about it, with which I am quite happy and which requires little to no interest in the show to read and enjoy, so go […]

FLAPJACKS: I downloaded the Star Trek trailer! Let’s watch it! ME: But I already saw it. FLAPJACKS: You can’t watch it again? Come on. ME: Oh, all right.

Shorter Chuck Norris

Posted by MGK Published in Politics, WTF

Dear President Obama: Do everything I say you should do, which falls in line with my civic philosophy, or the American public will rise up and roundhouse kick you in the face collectively. BONUS FUN CHUCK NORRIS FACT: Before internet nerds decided that the Vin Diesel Facts meme was funnier with Chuck Norris, he was […]

If You Feel Like Doing A Mitzvah

Posted by MGK Published in Nothing Else Fit

Carla Hoffman was one of the first people to spread the word about my blog when I got kicked off of Livejournal in 2007, something I appreciated dearly. She is a semi-regular commenter here and she is good people. I mention this because Carla and her husband Lance had the bad luck to get caught […]

Things we talk about.

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy, Conversations, Flicks

FLAPJACKS: So guess what I saw today? ME: I am fairly sure I don’t want to guess. FLAPJACKS: Aw, come on. ME: The new Bond flick? FLAPJACKS: Nope! ME: Watchmen six months early? FLAPJACKS: if that was the case, why would I spend valuable lording-it-over-you time making you guess? ME: Porn? FLAPJACKS: Other than porn. […]

Also, The Youth Of Today? They Have Big Pants, You Know

Posted by MGK Published in WTF

Experts blame rise in violent offenses on kids being willing to mug people for iPods. Choice line: “We propose that over the past two years, America may have experienced an iCrime wave.” (You just know that some thinktank dork came up with that and thought it was so clever.) Of course, you could just as […]
