With all respect and reverence to the Chairman of the Board, this is the singer who most captures my imagination at present. (”At present”= roughly three hours.)
Please, ignore his figure skating costume, and his hair-helmet… this video is from the unforgiving 1980s. Just tell me — is he greatness, or is he just […]

I’ll buy your beer all night on Thursday if you use your Mad Photoshoppin Skillz to give Busnip a friend.
And you have a choice. Either a crossbreeding of Nick Nolte +

or Nick Nolte +

So either a Nolteflower, or a Noltcolli. Use whatever images you want.

OK, morning’s over, and I think we might need a teeny bit of distance from the gaping Hell-maw of Gary Busey, below. So here’s a picture of a turnip:

It was a great day, wasn’t it?

You can thank Nick Nolte. And Lipton Tea.

…asked me to wish you “good morning.”
He also wants you to know he’s feeling great, despite a rough night.

“Live each day as a gift from Heaven,” concluded Nick, in his message to you.
Step forth into your week knowing that somewhere, out there, Nick Nolte wishes you well. (And no, it’s not just because he […]

On this day, May 9th, 1955 — a whopping 53 years ago — the Muppets made their first appearance ever. It was on a local Washington D.C. show called SAM AND FRIENDS, created by a very young fellow named Jim Henson, who was not yet out of his teens.

Why is record producer Rick Rubin not competing professionally, beard-wise?

Rick, you could be a superstar! Really, what does Sweden’s own Gunnar Rosenquist have that you don’t? Besides an easily-purchased gnome hat?

And Gunnar never even worked with the Beastie Boys.
Let me help you, Rick. You have greatness in you. (Or on […]

(Previous episodes of I, Tube: here. Total: um, ONE. Plus a general intro to this not-quite-a-series-yet.)
Last Thursday night Virginia and I went to see Jonathan Coulton here in the Twin Cities. We’re both fans, and the Varsity Theater in Dinkytown (yes, Minneapolis has an area called Dinkytown — we live in […]

Free Rifftrax.

UPDATE: Congratulations to YoohooRiffer for solving this!

(I kinda like them, actually.)
**UPDATE FROM MIKE**

There were many excellent entries in our Why do YOU need a personal time machine? contest: lots of very funny ones, and a few that were actually touching — even to a crabby old cuss like myself.

But this pithy metaphysical entry by Thorin Teague wins the grand prize:
