"I Wish He Was My Boyfriend" -- Jay's theme song, perhaps?

That Reminds Me

Quick, New Guys (Matt, Eric)! Top ten fifteen favourite Power Pop tunes of all time! We all had to do it. So get on it, or wear the boots!

Brushing Up On Your Insults...

These really don't get good until after the first minute, but it's worth your time. You bastards may have already featured this in the past (I've seen it somewhere else but don't know where), but it's worth repeating. If you haven't seen it "come and get one in the yarbles... if you've got any yarbles!!"

Ugh

Well, that was awful. Fortunately I had Skybox seats thanks to an old friend, so instead of suffering through the misery of a 30-point loss in constant rain, I suffered through the misery of a 30-point loss with free beer, boiled shrimp and chili dogs. It wasn't very good beer, though.

And Texas got screwed!! Fuck the BCS. Oh well. Could be worse, I could have gone to LSU.

This Still Makes Me Laugh

I stumbled onto this in an old folder and had a good chuckle today. This is the cover of a book that Joe worked on several years ago.



And here is my version of the same cover, re-imagined as a book that I think Joe would more likely have been involved in creating.

Whoop Whoop! Nerd Alert! Nerd Alert! Whoop Whoop!

Lucas is milking the cow a bit more:

NEW YORK (AP) — "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," an animated film, will open Aug. 15 in theaters throughout North America, followed by the debut of a television series this fall.

Jay, just take a deep breath and try not to panic.

Andy on TV!

Leading up to the LSU-Ohio St. game, they featured some fans preparing for the contest. And they showed Andy getting his body paint on!

Go Andy! Go LSU!

Oh, To Be a Neanderthal...

So it turns out cavemen had WAY better sex lives than Mike Lurker or I ever will.

Practices ranging from bondage to group sex, transvestism and the use of sex toys were widespread in primitive societies as a way of building up cultural ties.

Not that that's really saying anything...

Quick, Mike Lurker...

Name your ten (no, fifteen) favorite powerpop songs. Do it. Now!

An Edict from Above for Newbie Lurker Mike:

It has come to the attention of the Inner Sanctum of the Exalted Cabal that Newbie Lurker Mike has failed to incorporate an avatar into his profile. This causes great consternation as the reader of various posts must look for his name and not identify him by some witty image. Avatars for the other members were carefully chosen to reflect the personalities of the various bloggers: bobble-headed knick knack nerd for Dave; Leering, smug cartoon icon for Jay; Corpse of a cartoon for Joe. Newbie, you are hereby directed to create an avatar for your account by no later than the Monday three days hence. A smashing suggestion was made several posts back, but you may choose your own. Failure to do so will result in excommunication from the Bastardos, with heavy fines to be paid upon expulsion. Go forth! Go forth!*

* For technical issues re: avatars, please see Jay, leering, smug cartoon icon.
