Crash Test Kittens

You know what's great? Kittens. You know what sucks? Cats. Science really needs to figure out a way to breed perma-kittens. Get to working on that Bill Nye.

Important Internet Stuff, the timeline

Consider me mildly blown away to see that GoDaddy.com predates youtube by 8 years. Or that IMDB has been around since 1993. Seriously, 18 years and only 1 site redesign, that has to be some sort of record.

Also of note, DevilDinosaur.com which started life out as AardvarkAttacks has been kicking it strong since 1997. 2,000 hits in 14 years bitches!

I really want to like Terra Nova

If you haven't seen any of the trailers for Fox's new show Terra Nova here you are. The premise of the show is that in the future mankind has ruined the planet (thanks for nothing Al Gore) and to save the human race some crazy scientists send a bunch of humans back in time (Jurassic age I believe). It's like Wagon Train meets Land of the Lost (yeah I just used a Wagon train reference, I'm old get over it).

I really really want to like this show. I mean it's dinosaurs! And humans fighting them with machine guns. How can you not love that premise? But so far the early buzz is that it's awful. Like Viva Laughlin awful. I'm really hoping that's not the case. Imagine if this thing's a hit. Soon we'll have knock off shows all over the schedule. Dinosaurs could be the next teenage vampires or zombies. In fact they could be the next teenage vampire zombies (how is that not already a thing?).

Ms. Marvel takes a personal day

Ms. Marvel's a pretty busy superhero, I'm sure when she gets a day off she'd love to just kick around the house playing x-box all day (kinda like me). Still a superheroines work is never done even on lazy Sundays.

May the 4th be Links

The Star Wars Blu Rays suck.Every nerd knows May 4th is intergalactic Star Wars day, so how does George Lucas celebrate? By kicking every nerd ever square in the nuts. It's finally official the huge Blue Ray box set of all the Star Wars flicks won't include the original versions of the original trilogy. I'm starting to think Seal Team 6 got the wrong guy.

30 behind the scenes pictures of Star Wars. There are a ton of real cool pictures here. Of course I picked the classiest one. Carrie Fisher and her stunt double sunbathing on Jabba's Yacht.

Know your voice over actors. Not only is Archer the best show on TV, I think Aisha Tyler's Lana Kana might be the hottest woman on TV. Also there's a small chance I need to get out more.

May the 4th be with you. I'm blowing through my random Star Wars image folder over on my tumbler. There's some good stuff in there, I mean not good enough to post here but still good.

Chicks Pandering to Nerds

My tumblr has been all a twitter lately (see what I did there) about geeky girls. More specifically what makes a geeky girl a real geeky girl and not just a regular girl wearing stupid non-prescription glasses and a batman t-shirt. In almost serendipitous fashion the cats over at Filmdrunk came up with this nice little supercut of girls on talk shows saying what huge dorks they really are. I guess there's a theory out there that if you tell all the fat losers at home you like Star Trek they'll go see whatever awful romantic comedy you're in that weekend.

I don't really buy into any sort of nerd-fleecing/Hollywood conspiracy designed to remove World of Warcraft gold away from tubby bloggers pockets. My guess is it's more of young ladies trying to appear more 3-dimensional than your average Hollywood socialite. Either way it's going to take a lot more than Megan Fox in glasses and a Star Wars shirt to get me to see whatever Gerard Butler rom-com assfest she has coming out.


Well played Ms. Fox.

The crovel will lop some zombie heads

For a long time I've felt the long handled Stanley Fat Max Fubar is the ideal weapon for fighting the zombie hoard. That was until I saw the Crovel. One part Shovel, one part axe, one part crowbar, all parts badassery. This thing even has a grip made from 15 feet of paracord, the amount of things this shovel can do is mind bottling. The only thing I don't like about this, is that the handle is only 19 inches long. That means you've got to get pretty up close and personal with the zombie right before you lop off it's head and dig it a shallow grave.

Where were you?

I'll always remember where I was when John Cena told me Osama Bin Laden was dead.
