To the only man who could leave 20 voicemails for a girl and probably still lock it up – we will miss you Don LaFontaine.  While there are certainly the proud few who can continue his legacy… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQRtuxdfQHw


…the deep familiar voiceover “that sounds like a seven foot tall man who has been smoking cigarettes since childhood”, will be missed.

Had the man been a telemarketer – we’d all be poor.

I think they’re just doing it because they know they can get away with it.

See that movie poster up there?  It’s for Jacks Brooks: Monster Slayer.  It’s the story of an average guy with not a whole lot going for him that happens to be really good at killing evil beings.  But it’s not campy enough.  And it appears to have cost well over $100,000 to make.  And the guy doesn’t have a chainsaw for a hand.  What in the hell made people think they could bring back the wonderful niche genre of goredy?  I disapprove.

Bruce Campbell must be spinning in his grave that he dug for himself after killing miniature, evil versions of himself…

See for yourself.

Hello,

Actually,I want to buy the  IPhone for my friend. we both work at the USIS in the resarch department here in Mississippi but he was transfered a month ago to Africa as an international consultant due to his great performance.
He laments that life over there is very boring although he is gradually adapting to the new environment.

it would be a surprising gift to him, He is highly in need of a new phone.

I have a very tight schedule due to the nature of my job, I’m very busy at the moment,
So i decided that you would help me and ship it to him over there after payment.
Don’t bother yourself, i will take care of the shipping cost.

I have a PAYPAL account and can pay you right away.
I will forward his address to you for shipping as soon as the payment reaches you.
I would prefer the shipping through EMS For Faster Delivery.
Based on my enquiry, shipping it through EMS will cost around $100.
So, I will be paying you $4375 for both the cost price and the shipping fee.

I will be very grateful to hear from you soonest.
Warm Regards,
Ben Thompson

If you haven’t:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7556058.stm

What China fails to realize is that their entire population looks identical. Did they think we would have been able to distinguish between the “cute one” miming and the original singer? Certainly no American could… I’ll bet even Chinese-Americans can’t even tell at this point! Sure, there could be a cultural misunderstanding and maybe we just “think” they all look alike – but if that’s so, then how do you explain the Spanish basketball team who clearly “sees” this the same way.

Don’t get me wrong… I love Jackie Chan, he was great in Lethal Weapon 4 – of course it took me an hour to realize it was Jet Li. This isn’t meant to be an insult, afterall, they think we all look the same! Of course I don’t understand that one. Maybe their vision is impaired by their biology, although, what does a chinese person do in such a case? Do they un-squint?

This of course is all true with the exception of Ziyi Zhang – who is absolutely the most stunningly gorgeous woman amongst a population of over 1 billion.

Come on China… we’ll trade you Miley Cyrus, Brittany Murphy and a tween star to be named later.

(Honestly, tell me you don’t have the yellow fever (bird flu?) )

Correct me if I’m wrong, but is this supposed to be a reference to the flux capacitor, the fictional invention said to make time travel possible, as described in the 1985 film Back to the Future?  If so, what the hell is it doing serving as the headline for an article about the psychological affect of Tiger Woods’s presence on other golfers?  Keep it up ESPN.  Everyone loves it.
