Live action Beavis & Butthead movie?

beavis

If so, we’ve got one of the leads! No idea what’s up with his forehead. Perhaps something to do with this looking like a mugshot.

Found this pic on boredsheepless, an entertaining blog which also had miss nipple foot and fantastic videos of Morgan “JJ” Freeman and an old-time bike crash.

Check out the renderings on their site for some pretty wild looking pool areas.

The Office

Labor and employment attorney Julie Elgar writes That’s What She Said, a blog that breaks down each episode of The Office from a corporate liability standpoint.

“If an executive learns that a regional manager has sponsored a bachelor party in the warehouse, hired a stripper, offered to ‘deflower’ the bride, taken an employee to a sex store, received a lap dance, and allowed a pervert dressed up like Benjamin Franklin to make a lewd statement to the receptionist, she should fire him. As soon as possible. Anything else and the company is looking at significant liability.”

grammy

What is this American Idol rip-off? Vote for who sings with Timberlake?! Lame CBS. Even more lame to drag it out over the entire broadcast. Surprised they squeezed in 10 seconds for The Grateful Dead’s lifetime achievement award. Jesus Christ, Rascal Flats just came on, Bob Wills is rolling over in his grave.

These youtube clips have me excited for The Best of the Muppet Show dvds to arrive from Netflix. The first clip is probably my favorite. Animal was based on Keith Moon, but they appropriately have his jaw drop in awe of Buddy Rich.

Here’s various music clips from the show:

Buddy Rich vs Animal drum solo

50 Ways To Leave Your Lover

Banana Boat Song

Thank God I’m a Country Boy

Crocodile Rock

Caruso

This great youtube video is an edit of one-liners used by David Caruso in the opening of CSI Miami. It might be every episode. Almost all include Caruso slipping on his shades. Hearing the first second of The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again” adds to the comedy.

One note themes aren’t THAT cool

Since Lost has jumped the shark (despite the votes here), this “new” campy 80’s theme song is perfect.

AntiValentine

Fight this lame made-up holiday by visiting Be My Anti-Valentine for plenty of great images and cards.

“”Happy unimaginative, consumerist-oriented and entirely arbitrary, manipulative and shallow interpretation of romance day”

In search of the ultimate home theater

home theaters

TecheBlog has a great post on three killer home theaters. The above Opera House has to be my favorite. Nice attention to detail.

This Star Trek theater that was on Gizmodo last week is pretty wild too.

9 pages of casino carpets! You play too much if you recognize any of these.

The site’s owner has written a number of books on gambling, his latest is Roll the Bones: The History of Gambling.

Props to Ed Begley, Jr.

Hopefully his show furthers all the environmentally friendly pop-culture that seems to be popular lately.

    “This first-of-its-kind reality green show chronicles life with an earth-friendly fanatic with humor and heart.”
