You Guys Give Up, Or Are You Thirsty For More?

I've always wondered about this ...

Since its debut in 1990, Home Alone has become as much a part of the Christmas cinematic ritual as It's a Wonderful Life. But unlike that uplifting tale about the good of mankind, Home Alone tells a rather unsettling Christmas story of a precocious 8-year-old who, accidentally abandoned by his family, is forced to defend his home from two dimwitted burglars. Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) turns his family's home into a veritable funhouse of torturous booby traps that so-called Wet Bandits Marv (Daniel Stern) and Harry (Joe Pesci) hilariously stumble through, and the transformation of a suburban Chicago home into a relentless injury machine is nothing short of spectacular. But it does require quite a suspension of disbelief. Can a man really be hit square in the face with a steam iron and walk away unfazed? What kind of permanent physical damage would a blow torch to the head really do? To answer these questions and officially dissolve Home Alone's Hollywood magic, I spoke with my friend Dr. Ryan St. Clair of the Weill Cornell Medical College. Enjoy.

A great day in college football yesterday. Boise State wins, Cincinnati wins a thriller, Texas wins, and most importantly, Florida loses and Tebow cries.

Required Viewing For Even Casual Fans

Narrated by Joey Molland and Mike Gibbins (the two band members who apparently didn't experience the gut-wrenching despair that leads to suicide), Badfinger: A Riveting and Emotionally Gripping Saga contains loads of incredible band footage, plus a how-to guide on getting fucked by some of the sleaziest shitbags in the music industry.

You can get it here, or I can Finagle The Pontiff.

For those bastards with a litte more time on their hands, I found this out of print book, too. Although it says it's just a sample, the whole thing seems to be here. Much cheaper than the $100.00 Amazon wants for a used copy ...

And as if that isn't enough, here's a live rendition of "Day After Day" from 1972. It's a little dodgy at first, until the soundman gets the mix right. Still, no kick drum. What's up with that?

A Colbert Christmas

Thanksgiving ushers in the holiday season. After watching it tonight, I can honestly say, this may well be the best Christmas special ever. Do not miss it.
