The Breakfast of Champions

A tv-dinner style tray containing a poached egg, a lot of bacon, a small bottle of whiskey and a cigar and match

It’s even low-carb!

Random Valentine’s-Themed Graphic #2: Something Even Worse Than Being “Friendzoned”

Sulking guy in a Soviet army hat, with the caption COMRADEZONED

“In Soviet Russia, zone friends you!”

There is something worse than “I want to just be friends.” It’s “I want to go back to being waitress and customer,” and you’ll find it in this story.

The Toronto Sun: The “Human Centipede” of Local Media

"Human Centipede" diagram with Toronto mayor Rob Ford at the front, Ford's former press secretary and Sun Editor Adrienne Batra in the middle and at the very end, Sun columnist and annoying Rob Ford cheerleader Sue-Anne Levy.

"I'm the Mayor. Deal with It." Picture of Family Guy's Peter Griffin in a suit.Ah, the Toronto Sun. I’ve seen better paper after wiping my ass. Once upon a time, it served a purpose; there was the SUNshine girl, Bloom County and countless ads for electronics. It’s the only paper here that sasses back at letters to the editor. These days, we can do all that and even better on the internet.

This graphic nicely captures the Sun’s true nature: a “human centipede” (here’s the Wikipedia entry, but be warned; it’s a really gross movie) of news, mindlessly and slavishly loyal to Rob Ford, mayor and general embarrassment of Toronto. Toronto people, share this one around widely!

Thanks to Chris Charabaruk for finding this for me!

I suppose you could call God Bless America an updated, liberal remake of Falling Down. The trailer’s pretty intriguing, and I laughed out loud in several spots. And hey, Bobcat Goldthwait! I just might have to see this.

Random Valentine’s-Themed Graphic #1: I’ll Tell You Where the Nice Guys Are, Ladies…

Barney Stinson from "How I Met Your Mother" toasting: "Ladies, guys are sick of hearing you ask where all the 'nice guys' are. They're right where you left 'em: in the friend zone."

A random find courtesy of Carl Catron, a sax player who let me jam with his band on Sade’s Smooth Operator with his band Authentic Counterfeit at Kingston Station in Boston last April. How’s that for a totally random find?

The Death and Return of Superman: A Nerd-Rage, Celebrity-Filled, Mostly True Video

The “Death of Superman” storyline that DC comics pulled off in the 1990s gets skillfully deconstructed – nay, torn apart – in this video that retells the story in a “somewhat-mostly-accurate educational parody” style, featuring cameos galore from a bunch of celebs. It’s chock full o’ swearing, but it’s funny, especially if you’re into comic books.
