Waffle House is part of the southern landscape. What would the south be like without them? While the rest of the country has a Starbucks on every corner, the south has a Waffle House on every corner. I used to eat there all the time when I was in college. Part of the appeal is that they stay open 24 hours, so people go there in the wee hours of the morning after a night of drinking with friends. Gauldar couldn't be more correct when he described it as a 1970's grungy coffee and cigarettes type of place. There are several in my hometown, within walking distance of one another. Someone has shot themselves in each one on several occasions. They also get robbed and Kid Rock got in a brawl in one once. Classy establishment, that Waffle House. Needless to say, I don't eat there anymore. Yuck.

Looks like we know who's going to be working for Pixar when they finish school. Jeez. When I was in film school, we never saw anything close to this level of talent.

Milwaukee's Best. Light. Because I'm just that classy.

Here's my trouble with energy efficient lightbulbs. I understand there is a wattage conversion. If you use a "curly cue" type energy efficient bulb, a 10W is equivalent to a 40W incandescent bulb. 18W is 60W and 25W is 100W, etc. So. I hate how they are different sizes. The incandescent bulbs are all the same size. But the energy efficient bulbs are smaller or larger depending on their wattage. The wattage obviously effects how bright the bulb is. My problem is that I have lamps in my house that use 100W bulbs. But when I put an energy efficient 25W bulb in them, the bulb sticks out above the lampshade and looks ridiculous. It totally defeats the purpose of the lampshade and blinds you. So the solution is to put in a lower watt (smaller size) energy efficient bulb that fits under the lampshade but doesn't light the room nearly well enough. It looks like the room is lit with a single dim candle. This frustrates the hell out of me. So for those lamps, I still use the old school incandescent light bulb. Sigh.

Looks like the radioactive fish from The Simpsons.
But I'm calling BS on this one too. Looks too ridiculous.

Ok, so I always use Red Bunny. I don't have red hair or anything. This is an homage to my Grandmother who would always make a dish for me for lunch that she called Red Bunny. It is buttered toast smothered with a can of Campbells Tomato Soup with melted Velveeta cheese mixed in it. It sounds crazy, but when I was a kid, nothing hit the spot like Grandma's Red Bunny for lunch. So I started using it for my internet name. Because Grandma is freakin' awesome.

I think this same type of thing happened with The Goonies. I read a bit of the screenplay for Goonies 2 about 10 years ago that somehow got leaked. I don't know if it was the real deal or not, but obviously nothing ever came of it. I get the feeling this Ferris Bueller 2 idea is going to end up the same way. Nothing will come of it.

Everyone knows Python. How can you not love that?

In the immortal words of Nelson from the Simpsons, "Haa ha!"

"First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

Ted, don't be a troll. It's not cool to insult strangers on the web. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

What was it about the situation that was a felony? Sounds to me like the alligator charged him and he defended himself from a wild animal that meant to do him harm. This kid is actually pretty bad ass. He's going to grow up to be a real life Crocadile Dundee.

Dear 16 year old Me,
If I could slap you across the face right now, I would. Slacking off in school is stupid and smoking pot does not make you cool. Your friend Justin is a bad influence and does not amount to anything later in life. Stop hanging out with him. Your metabalism will eventually slow down, so eat all you can now, but slow down in your mid twenties. Embrace your skinniness. Respect your parents. They do a lot for you now and continue to do so for the rest of your life. Don't do anything stupid. Your 4 years in college will be the most fun years of your life, but when the party is over, then the party is over. Get it? When you turn 27 your wife will give birth to your son and you don't want to miss out on that. Your son will become the center of your world. He is awesome. You should look forward to meeting him.

Your 29 year old self

The most astoundingly moronic thing since... well, Harold Camping.
@clinton robert labombard - What are talking about?

I salute this man. He knows what he likes. He does what makes him happy and doesn't care what other people say. If you like it and it feels right to you and doesn't hurt anyone else, then do it. You only live once.
