Aaaah, PETA. They go on and on about how they’re helping animals, but then they spend the donations well meaning people have sent to them on getting that societal sage known as Pamela Anderson to say “Fur coats are BAD” and sending out commando teams of society’s uber geniuses to ‘rescue’ lab animals who have never lived in the wild, and so are brutally slaughtered within minutes by anything tougher than a stiff breeze. Or, [...]

Having finally watched the first season of The Wire, I now completely understand the hype it received during it’s run. Over the course of two days I watched all 13 episodes…I could quite happily have sat there and watched…no food, no drink, taking a crap in an empty Chapters bag sitting near the chair…you know, if that wasn’t so decidedly gross and stupid. Still, great show. I’ve got season 2 locked and loaded and ready [...]

Yes, it was ‘shiny new job’ time for Cliff. The main reason…old job had morphed in to me pretty much pushing shipping paper. That was it. Didn’t take long for me to get a little antsy. Anyway, my dad’s gotten to know some people at a sandblasting company in Nisku (their companies do a lot of business with one another), and he found out they were looking. So, I went and met with the guy [...]

Why don’t they notice? Two reasons. First off…a long haired dude in robes and sandals isn’t actually going to attract near as much attention as one might think. And the instant he tells the first person of authority he sees that his name is Jesus it’s off to a jail cell until Immigration can find a way to get him back in to Mexico. Secondly, with Barack Obama basically already being declared ‘Greatest Human Being [...]

Yes, we are now officially two weeks away from the day of the final game (well, sure there’s the Pro Bowl All Star game, but I think viewership of that matchup might consist of crackheads so zonked out of their minds they no longer possess the wherewithal to change the channel and tinfoil hate wearing conspiracists who are convinced the game is chock full of secret messages from the Illuminati). And in that final game [...]

A new series seems to be starting on The Escapist, the site you might remember from other such hilarious material as Zero Punctuation and Unforgotten Realms. It’s called Unskippable, and delightfully rips to shreds those annoying, godawful and unskippable cinematic scenes that Japan in particular seems to enjoy shoving up our ass (incidentally, fuck you Japan). In the first episode, some JRPG called Eternal Sonata gets raked over the coals…and deservedly so, as this near [...]

So, I recently FINALLY started playing my long-neglected copy of Assassin’s Creed. I have other games that need playing. Yet, what is it that’s been tying up my gaming time? The demo of a little independent title called Crayon Physics Deluxe. It’s a simple little concept done really, really well. On each level, there is a ball and a star…your goal is to hit the star with the ball. How you get there is the [...]

Normally, when something funny on Fail Blog pops up, I just share it in Google Reader and am done with it. This one deserves a special place on the mantle (hmmm…you know, The Mantle wouldn’t be a bad blog name for somebody). An old commercial for a diet product…called AIDS (well, it’s SPELLED AYDS, but it’s pronounced like everyone’s favorite slow killing STD). The result…hilarity. Even better…I checked Youtube and discovered additional ads glorifying losing [...]

So, late last year a little cat named Spook entered the lives of the household. He was a tiny little 4 month old kitten curious about everything, and who seems to have a bizarre interest in watching me play computer games. The more shit going on on screen at one time, the more enthralled he is…unfortunately, that typically means he leaves his position to the side of the monitor and begins to encroach in to [...]
