Last week, I wrote about a page and a half on Lostpedia’s article of nicknames Lost characters have given each other.
Recap for those who are just joining us: Lostpedia.com is a Wikipedia all about Lost, and it’s contributors have seen fit to make an entire page that meticulously catalogs every instance of a Lost character calling another character by anything other than their given...
I don’t usually post MP3s, but I just...

I usually resist just posting Wikipedia articles I find interesting, but I thought you guys would want to know about platypus venom.
Now I know what to call my metal band with a sense of humor.

I love finding the corners of the Internet.
As well all know, sometimes Wikipedia’s Lost pages just don’t cut it. Thankfully, someone started a Wikipedia that’s just about Lost - lostpedia.com
Just to test the site, I thought I’d see if they have a list of every nickname Sawyer has ever given anyone. For the uninitiated, Sawyer is a wiseass who works a pop-culture...
Kanye West recently performed at the annual Bonnaroo Music Festival and, for assorted reasons, he didn’t go on until 4:30 am (he had been scheduled for the much more reasonable 2:30 am spot). Even worse, according to Internet music nerds, is that once he did take the stage Kanye didn’t even acknowledge the late start. This caused a minor uproar in the Pitchfork-osphere, but Kanye has...
Oh, third most exciting cameo in the Hulk? Bill from Freaks and Geeks.

I would rather see the fire extinguishing robot from Iron Man spun-off than sit through another Hulk movie.
Next two paragraphs for The Wire fans only, especially those who have seen the new Hulk:
Marvel’s marketing department already spoiled one of the movie’s big cameos, so let me ruin the other. During the third and final fight scene, look for a blink-and-you-miss-it shot of The...
WatchThe Onion News Network keeps getting better. I couldn’t stop laughing at their newest, Most Children Strongly Opposed to Children’s Healthcare.
Also recent and especially strong - Historic “Blockbuster” Store Offers Glimpse of How Movies Were Rented in the Past.”
Update - I did not make the cut for World’s Dumbest Partiers. Streeter probably won’t admit it, but he appears briefly (although you might be confused because they spelled his last name wrong). Todd Bridges and Danny Bonaduche show up several times.
Righteous Kill is the movie that finally teams up 50-Cent and Donnie Wahlberg.
If you couldn’t make it to The Rejection Show last week to see Streeter and I, don’t worry - tomorrow night we are being beamed into your living room. We will both be appearing as talking-head commentators on TruTV’s The Smoking Gun Presents: World’s Dumbest Partiers (TruTV is what CourtTV became a few months ago). Warm up your brain with some math before you watch,...
Tomorrow night, Streeter and myself return to the Rejection Show. We’ll be talking about the approval proccess at CollegeHumor and showing the stuff that was too ridiculous to make the site. This is our third or fourth Rejection Show, so we are now experts in the art of shocking an audience with dick pictures.
You can buy tickets here, and they’re only $10 if you use discount code...
WatchAnother new Play Value! This one’s about the founding fathers of videogames. There are a few advantages to watching the video on On Networks’ site, as opposed to this embedded version:
- It’ll be bigger.
- That “on networks” bar they put at the bottom of the embedded videos is dumb.
- Try this - go to the On Networks site, let the whole video load, and click...
I just watched Hilary Clinton’s speech on Fox News (the other HD news channels weren’t working for some reason, possibly a conspiracy to make snobby dorks watch more Fox News). I usually avoid watching news on TV, so forgive me if you guys all seen this stuff before…
- Mike Huckabee must be sad that, even months after the race was decided, the media insists on keeping the...
One of my can’t miss blogs is Ridiculous Infomercial Review. From their latest post:
At long last, I have uploaded by full review of the Magic Bullet To Go infomercial. This is the infamous sequel to the Original Magic Bullet infomercial in which Mick and Mimi take their friends on a camping trip and [spoiler alert] Hazel and Berman…hook up!
