Superporn

This is a weird thing I found - A description of an issue of "Superman" wherein Superman is forced to be in a porn, and he performs poorly. From what I can tell, it's real. Link.

Here's a question - Which Kid in the Hall deserves the most respect for his post-show career?

Mark McKinney - SNL tenure, star of "The Saddest Music in the World," apparently a cast member of "Studio 60"
Bruce McCulloch - Directed a couple movies
Dave Foley - News Radio, Hosting celebrity poker show, fat and goatee
Kevin McDonald - Harry Potter in "Epic Movie," an Outkast music video
Scott Thompson - ? (although I did see him walking down the street in Toronto)

Try to separate your feelings about each one, just judge what they've done and whether it deserves respect.

Thrust thine vessel unto yonder corn shelled fare.

It's three in the AM and the one candle still aglow in this old steel trap is the impassioned craving for tacos. Tacos of the meat variety specifically but almost any taco would do at this juncture. Red ones, blue ones, two tacos, three tacos. I am willing to negotiate, as long as the outcome is the satisfying crunch and the shattered shell of that unnamed, glorious Mexican dish. You cannot appreciate this feeling or you, too, would be busy telling anyone within earshot: "Quickly, feed me!"

A painter has his canvas, a sculter his chisel and large rock. Myself? I have but my teeth and two hands with which to lay waste to all foodstuffs in my vincinity. Nothing is safe within my reach, one that well exceeds three feet in circumference. Perhaps you'd like a second to comprehend this or perhaps you'd like a second to order another helping of tacos and nachos. Both options are available and both appeal to me greatly, although the outcome with tacos is desired greater still.

I've grown terribly dissatisfied with my current standing in life. Where's the head rush highs, the knee buckling lows, the green delicious quacamole in a small plastic cup on the side? All these things and more I seem to be missing in my life, currently one noticably devoid of cheap ground chuck cooked on a filthy backroom griddle. The requirements are thus: tacos, and more tacos!

Fill my hearty gut, make light these final days of man.

Mad Dog!

I found this while killing time online today:

I'm sure Owen will be promptly bookmarking it.

All right guys...

I guess the real question on everyone's mind is how these technology wars (the shitty blue ray discs versus the even shittier hd dvd discs) are going to affect video games for those of us who do not currently have a great deal of money. Here's Owen's dilemma:

I am without any platform with which to play video games. I can't figure out if any of the new ones are even worth investing in. I mean, fuck the fucking Wii. Nothing about that looks like any fun. The Xbox 360 is well and good for Ben and his shooting games, but does it offer anything else. The Playstation 3 would be my top choice but it has that damnable blue ray thing going on and apparently Sony is having a lot of problems. That said, it supports PS2 games and it looks like it may have some good titles down the road. Is any of it worth it? Should I not play video games anymore?

JRR Tolkien

I realize that this may be old news to some geeks of the world, but did anyone realize that Aragorn (or Stryder or Estel or Elessar) is in fact, by the time he becomes king of Gondor, a sixty year-old inbred virgin? That's right, a sixty year-old virgin. Not only that, but he had the chance to score with Arwen before any of the ring shit happened and he didn't do it. Why? Oh, also Arwen is his cousin. Go figure.

Interestingly, although not quite so alarmingly, it seems that after all the ring shit happened, Gimli the dwarf left his wife and all his kids to go off with Legolas.

My question is this: why would I even post this on a message board? His books aren't even all that good. How did Tolkien get such a stranglehold on the geek community?

Movie Monday

Samuel Jackson sings blues in the upcoming movie Black Snake Moan. LINK!

Here's a 16mm movie my friend Dax did as an undergrad. It's no masterstroke, but there's a couple cool moments. The very end, when the music comes in, is my favorite part.


And a video of Nicole counting change!


Coming soon: A youtube series called "Dax visits Nicole!" Crappy exercises from film school!
