I was humming oooooh la la baby randomly today. This is a song by a little french kid talking about how hard it is to be a baby. Well – it’s embarrassing that I was singing about it or thinking about it. Anyways, Hawkes asks me what I’m singing. I say – you don’t remember Jordy?! Then I… Read More

So today, I came across this trailer on IMDB. It’s a film called Donkey Punch. Wait, wait… don’t just breeze by that bit of information. Take a moment and really let that sink in. From the look of it, it most definitely refers to what you think it does and… well, you just have to watch it…

Does the credit crisis have you confused? Have you recently been in a discussion about the economy or job market and felt out of your league? Do you suffer from glazed eyes when people talk about mortgages? Unless you’ve read through enough newspapers it can be a little difficult to get a grasp of the damned thing. Well… Read More

I don’t usually post music (there are other, wiser PopTenners manning that department) but this falls into my area of expertise. Give it ’til the one minute mark to see why.
It looks like our old friend Guinness has decided to step away from the seven-foot-long fingernails for a second, and try his luck quantifying video games.
Respectfully, sir, I think I speak for all gamers when I say- stay the hell away. Your list is contaminated with fail.
For example, the #1 game of all time? Super… Read More
Behold- one amputee’s letter to WETA Workshop (those fabulous Lord of the Rings FX gods) inspired them to make her a fully functional mermaid tail and suit!
Not some fake-looking plasticky contraption, an honest-to-god realistic mermaid tail that she can operate with the powers of her brains.
I hope she now devotes her life to pranking… Read More
A few surefire methods for inducing that depression you’ve been staving off all winter.
1) Study the economic crisis closely and/or the state of popular music and radio.
2) Re-watch old SNL episodes from the early 90s that you could’ve sworn were gut-bustingly hilarious.
3) Check out this list of 80s crushes, and finally accept… Read More

In the wake of the 81st Academy Awards telecast, it has become apparent that many of us who reside on the colder end of the country, far away from the hallucinogenic fumes of Hollywood, have come to regard the ceremony with a variable amount of disdain. A small tragedy, in my eyes, since the awards are something I’m sure we… Read More
Chris, Juan and I were hanging out with our DC homebrew Trevor, and after a very grueling week, we had to give a presentation in front of some VIPs at the crack of dawn. When the presentation was over and the monumental weight was lifting off our shoulders, we were crossing the street and Trevor, slapping the… Read More
Tomorrow marks 100 days since the BP oil spill in the gulf. I know they “successfully” capped it, but as long as that sucker is still leaking, I’m saying there is still an oil spill. But this disaster got me thinking a lot about the good old days of folk – when popular music regularly included anthems… Read More
When I was in my formative high school days, going to the Warped Tour was a highlight of the summer. Just old enough to drive, we’d pile about 9 bros and skateboards into mom-duke’s Ford Exploder and drive at high speed to Fitchburg or some other pseudo-municipality in middle Massachusetts, blasting Rage Against The Machine and… Read More
