I can’t believe Rocky beat Taxi Driver. * My fav Oscar moment: Tim Robbins’ one-fingered salute to Chris Rock. [...]

Which “Lost” character will die?

Friday, February 25th, 2005 by Aabra

One of the Lost main characters is going to bite the dust this season, according to rumors. It’s a) not a girl, so Sun, Kate, Claire, and Shannon are safe; b) not Charlie (*whoo!*), and c) someone “well-loved.” Someone we’d cry over, they’re saying. So, it’s not Jin, Sawyer, Walt, Michael, Boone, or Locke (I [...]

* Not quite as humiliating as the Star Wars Kid, with a bigger mouth than the Super Bowl is Gay dude, it’s… Numa Numa Dance! Select “Watch this movie”, then “with subtitles” for the original. After you’ve enjoyed this a half dozen times, try the “original” for bizarre translation fun. (Today’s life lesson: we all [...]

Maybe Bush uses a cootie catcher for *really* important decisions

Friday, February 18th, 2005 by Aabra

Am I the only one who thinks of the kids’ game MASH whenever GW discusses Social Security reform? “By investing in the stock market, you decide your fate.
