Isn't This The Truth? Television Through The Years

Haha, too funny. Isn't this the truth?

I Spy Facebook

So do you spy on your child's internet activities?  Don't lie, you can tell the truth.  You know you check your son or daughter's Facebook account.  According to recent poll of 2,000 participants, 55% of them said they did, 40% said they wouldn't dare, and 5% said No, but they would if they knew how.

So if you're spying on your child's Facebook, what are you looking for?  This little chart will give you the answer.

It's Purely Animal - Issue No. 29 - The Dreamy Hamster

Back in July I went hamster shopping, and created a hamster village so huge that I nick-named it Hamster Hogwarts.  All 6 of my hamsters have Harry Potter names in tribute to the last movie in the franchise.  I promise to post pictures soon, I keep procrastinating.

Anyway, I saw this video online and had to share it.  It's a cute little hamster dreaming away. Well, at least I think it's dreaming. lol.  Whoever posted it on YouTube doesn't know the difference between a mouse and a hamster, obviously.

Must Watch: The Walking Dead

If none of you have ever seen The Walking Dead, then I'm going to repeat what I said back on August 7, and revise what I said, "If it's two things we all should watch in life, it's it's Dexter and Spartacus," and change it to "three things we should watch in life..."

I have never sat through one episode of a show, and said "fuck it, let's watch the whole season."  Until early this year when my partner, Ryan had me sit down to watch the first episode of AMC's "The Walking Dead."

Let me say this much... the graphics, the storyline and all the actors on this show are phenomenal.  It's not your zombie movie of yesteryear, it's so much better and so much more.  I promise you, the moment you see the first episode you will be hooked.  A lot of emotion went into the making of this television series, and all I can ask, is that you watch the trailer below.  Its for the first season, which consisted of 6 episodes.  You will not regret it.

For all The Walking Dead fans, I'm sure you already know the second season premieres next Sunday, October 16th.  But what you might not know, was that six, 2-1/2 minute webisodes were released on AMC over the summer.  If you want to find out what happened to the bicycle girl from the show's pilot, and are interested in seeing what happened to the rest of the world during the outbreak, I have posted all 6 webisodes after the jump... check them out.

Poster of the Week - Issue No. 30 - Idiocy

Continuing alphabetically, I bring you this week's poster, "Idiocy".

Must Watch: A Job Interview With A Twist

Courtesy of the lovely folks at reddit, I bring you this outrageously funny video.  OMG, I couldn't keep myself from laughing.

After the interviewer informs the applicant the she is over-qualified for the position she's applying for, she replies in kind...

"oh, that's okay, I don't intend to work very hard...  in fact I only intend to show up when I feel like it, which is good, because I have a wide variety of extremely annoying personal habits, and absolutely no sense of personal hygiene."

Should Politicians Wear Uniforms Like NASCAR Drivers To Identify Their Corporate Sponsors?

It's an honest question really.  I mean, why shouldn't they?

War of the Roses - Paige & Ray

LMAO, I can't stop laughing at what this idiot guy was saying to cover his ass.  LOL. I'm sorry, yes I've given it away. He's cheating! There's no doubt about it.

For God's sake, his woman has found whip cream, handcuffs, KY Jelly, silky boxers and massage oil in his gym bag! LOL.  And what makes it hilarious is the way he tries to talk his way out of it.  He has a reason for every specific thing in his bag.

If you're not familiar with my "War of the Roses" segment, then I suggest you read my first issue, here;  I wrote a detailed description on how it actually works.

In today's call Roula & Ryan spoke with Paige who's been living with her boyfriend of 3 years, Ray.  She feels that her boyfriend is having an affair and wants to confront him about it.  Actually, she pretty much says he's having one.  Ray isn't calling or texting her every day like he used to, he no longer sends her flowers, he comes home later than usual, and he's extended his gym hours to include weekends.

Roula and Ryan tell her that what she's saying is really nothing out of the extraordinary.  They explain it by saying that her and Ray have been in a relationship for quite some time, and anyone can say he's not very timely with his phone calls, it doesn't necessarily mean he's cheating.  And that's when Paige informs them of a gym bag she found...

One Saturday morning, she made Ray breakfast like she usually does, and he left to the gym.  Thinking that Ray forgot his gym bag, and being the good girl that she is, she decided to take it to him.  But for some odd reason, her gut was telling her to check out his bag, and in it were all the items I mentioned at the beginning of this post.

Needless to say, when she got to the gym she couldn't bring herself to confront him about it. Obviously it wasn't his gym bag, because he was working out with some very pretty girl at the gym, whom he said was his personal trainer. 

And what of the bag she found?  Well, pretty much a bag of goodies he's yet to explain.

Roula and Ryan share their thoughts on the matter, go over the rules of the "War," and ask her again if she really wants to go through with this, because regardless of the outcome, Ray will have to know she made the call to the radio station to trick him.

So how does the battle end?  Will Ray send the flowers to his loving girlfriend, Paige, or will he send them to someone else?

And the war rages on....

How To Solve a Rubik's Cube

Talk about forever and a day, but the following video is fucking hilarious!  I'm sorry for my French, but it's funny!  Okay, well maybe it's funny because kids do the darnedest things.  It is definitely MY answer to solving the damn thing.  "A young girl is faced with the challenge of completing a Rubik's Cube until she thinks of a novel solution to the problem."

Remember my post from back in April? If you haven't, it's about the Rubik's Cube.  "Keeping It Old Skool" is a series in my blog in which I reflect on the younger years of my life, talking about the products, shows, etc of the time.  I haven't posted a new one since May, but I hope to soon.

What a Hot Mess: News 7 Screenshot

I think someone got fired the day News 7 reported on it's search for a rapist.  Either the television news editor or the anchor, take your pick.  What a hot mess!  But I love it!

Stick vs. Automatic

Courtesy of Hunch and Column Five Media, I bring you this great infographic which uncovers the characteristics of people who can drive stick shifts and those who cant.  Pretty interesting when you find that 69% of people who drive a stick are more likely to have a graduate degree and 39% more likely to be married or in a long-term relationship.

And try this one; If you cannot drive a stick-shift, you're part of the 32% of people who are pessimistic, 12% more likely to be an introvert, 11% more likely to be a night owl, 12% more likely to best express yourself through writing, and 15% likely to consider yourself close to nature. Hmm, I'm not mentioning any names, but I know someone just like this, and he can't drive a stick.

Must Watch: The Golden Girls on Gay Marriage

"We look back at times never realizing that the issues affecting us today, like gays in the military and gay marriage were discussed way back when - back when you didn't think it would even be possible.  Then you see a clip from a very popular television show in the mid-1980's, and you come to an understanding...  It was always there, you just didn't care enough to pay attention." 

- Peter Flores, aka Blade 7184

Must Watch: Everyday We're Shuffling....

For all you Drum Corps and Marching Band fans, the Ohio University’s Marching band performed LMFAO’s ”Party Rock Anthem,” during their half-time show last Saturday in Athens, Ohio.

I absolutely loved it!  For all you folks that don't know, I dated a girl who played an instrument in High School, so marching bands hold a special place in my heart.  My high school marching band was very competitive when I was growing up. Our band always got a 1 in district competitions, and when I was there, it was like 30 or so years the band had earned them in a row.  They were so close to winning several state competitions when I was in school.

Added to my fascination with marching bands, my current partner, Ryan was in a high school marching band, and one of our best friends, Michael is a Colorguard Director for a school near Houston, TX.

Are People Really This Stupid? Issue No. 9

Talk about having a bridge party.  Why don't we all risk our lives like this?  Geez.  Are people really this stupid?  Using a few cables, a wooden platform, a homemade hot tub, and a few friends, a group of “extreme jacuzzi” fanatics dangled 128 feet off the side of the 620 foot Gueuroz Bridge in Switzerland.

It took six hours to assemble the makeshift hot-tub and about 2500 hours to plan to mission. Water was heated in a second jacuzzi on the bridge and lowered onto the platform where a gas-powered system kept it warm.

I don't know about you, but if it's 38 degrees outside, I'd be at home cuddling with my partner eating popcorn and watching a show.  Not dangling off the side of a bridge like an idiot.  Am I being too harsh? 

And yes, if you're interested you can see more pics and how it was assembled here.

Back In The Day - Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor and Macaulay Culkin

It's crazy, but one of these celebrities is not like the other.  

I was feeling a bit nostalgic, and thought I'd post a pic from back in the day - when Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor were still alive.  Macaulay Culkin still lives...

and the child star doesn't look to shabby for 31...
