Scientific studies are showing a link between obese children and junk food advertising aimed at kids.
I guess it should have been obvious it has nothing to do with the parents.

It's the commercials that make you fat
Thursday, March 29th, 2007Life is like a box of DHARMA chocolates…
Thursday, March 29th, 2007Umm… LOST last night was like a page out of Forrest Gump. Characters Nikki & Paulo (Ken & Barbie – ick!) were unceremoniously dropped on viewers this season to – in my opinion – sex up the show. After a huge fan backlash and waning ratings, the powers-that-be (no, not the Others) killed them off. Ahh, but not before a bunch of Forrest Gump-esque flashbacks trying to integrate a weak storyline about stolen diamonds and deadly paralyzing spiders into the Losties timeline to try and make it look like the story actually belonged.
C’mon guys, just admit you screwed up. Oh, and admit you stole a major part of your plot line from Gitsie Girl. She killed Ken & Barbie off by burying them alive (among other grisly fates) well before you did! *AND* She had Vincent there too, just like you did in the show! Blatant plagiarism by ABC. 
Honey, where's the hammer?
Thursday, March 29th, 2007I get a call on the way home from work. “Honey, where’s the hammer?”
“Why?” I ask.
“I’m fixing dinner.”
My little Martha Stewart. Post prison.
Donny Osmond – Lost fan?
Tuesday, March 27th, 2007My girlfriend doesn’t think Donny Osmond could be someone you could sit down at lunch with and talk about LOST.
I think she’s wrong.
The Amazing Race: All-Stars – Episode 6 Recap
Monday, March 26th, 2007The Amazing Race: All-Stars – Season 11 – Episode 6
Want to see a graphical view of the racers from beginning to present? Click on the below graphic. (Opens in a new window. Takes a moment to load.)
This week’s rundown:
Charla & Mirna
THIS WEEK – 1st
LAST WEEK – 1st, arriving at 9:07am
Wake me when it’s over. This has to be a nightmare. 2 times in first? What the hell did I eat before bed to be tortured like this. Too hot to handle. Barf.
Oswald & Danny
THIS WEEK – 2nd
LAST WEEK – 4th, arrived at 10:18am
Would have been first if they hadn’t stopped for fruit. C’mon guys, the irony of it?
Uchenna & Joyce
THIS WEEK – 3rd
LAST WEEK – 7th, arriving at 10:36am
Even with a 30 minute penalty – marked for elimination – at the mat, they still came in third. After all the airport trouble this week, I don’t even think anyone was close.
Dustin & Kandice
THIS WEEK – 4th
LAST WEEK – 2nd, arriving at 9:47am
No over thinking. No misreading clues. Solid middle of the pack. They could go either way.
Eric & Danielle
THIS WEEK – 5th
LAST WEEK – 6th, arriving at 10:33am
Oooo… they got screwed at the airport this time around. I don’t blame Danielle for breaking down. On her original season I’d totally have given her a hard time about this. Maybe it was all in the editing. Maybe everybody looks better when Mirna is around…
Joe & Bill
THIS WEEK – 6th
LAST WEEK – 5th, arriving at 10:32am
Teri & Ian might be nicer but they aren’t as interesting as Joe & Bill plus these guys do have a chance to win it. I’m glad they’re still in it.
Who got kicked off?
Teri & Ian
THIS WEEK – 7th
LAST WEEK – 3rd, arriving at 10:13am
Not a surprise. Good people but they were not going to win. I would have REALLY rather seen Charla and Mirna here. Well, at LEAST Mirna.
The Amazing Race: All-Stars – Episode 5 Recap
Friday, March 23rd, 2007The Amazing Race: All-Stars – Season 11 – Episode 5
This week’s rundown:
Charla & Mirna
THIS WEEK – 1st
LAST WEEK – 7th, arriving at 2:41am
Argh. First they gloat about putting Rob & Amber out of the race – like they really had anything to do with it. Now they come in first. Maybe next they could give Mirna a megaphone to go with her whistle from last week. Because I really think they could be more annoying.
Dustin & Kandice
THIS WEEK – 2nd
LAST WEEK – 5th, arriving at 1:58am
Well, they didn’t over think this week! Let’s see how long it lasts… However! They did misread ANOTHER clue. Not over thinking doesn’t mean NOT thinking girls!
Teri & Ian
THIS WEEK – 3rd
LAST WEEK – 3rd, arriving at 1:04am
I like them. I just don’t think they can keep it up.
Oswald & Danny
THIS WEEK – 4th
LAST WEEK – 1st, arrived at 12:02pm
Uh-oh… The avalanche beacon was looking a lot like a Rob & Amber arrogance moment. Take a breath guys, you can do it! Hmm… Guess I’m voting for these guys now. Didn’t realize that until just a moment ago. Go not-annoying gay team!!!
Joe & Bill
THIS WEEK – 5th
LAST WEEK – 4th, arriving at 1:55am
Solid players. I mean in the game.
Eric & Danielle
THIS WEEK – 6th
LAST WEEK – 2nd, arriving at 12:06pm
If Oswald & Danny don’t win it, I’m voting Eric & Danielle. They’re silly. Looks like she melts down a little bit next week from the previews though…
Who got kicked off? – NOBODY! Non-elimination week.
Uchenna & Joyce
THIS WEEK – 7th
LAST WEEK – 6th, arriving at 2:38am
I said last week they shouldn’t get cocky. Now they have to come in first next week or suffer a 30 minute penalty at the mat.
Well, I liked 300 no matter what this guy says.
Wednesday, March 21st, 2007Good example of why I don’t like reviewers most times.
Click here for an unfavorable review of “300″.
This is the kind of guy who salivates all over “boring – narcissistic – overly – costumed – judy – dench – historical – pieces – to – win – oscars – for – wannabe – pretentious – f*cks – to – mentally – mast*rbate-over” films. But hey, I don’t want to trash the guy or anything.
Curious George hits puberty?
Friday, March 16th, 2007I kid you not. This picture came from a site with kid’s coloring book pages.

Not to mention, it’s already colored. Disturbing *and* weird.
The Duality of Pen
Tuesday, March 13th, 2007A good friend of mine (see, honey, I didn’t mention your name) had “supplied” me with a rather sizeable stockpile of pens from her employer to help me offset even a fraction of the cost operating in a small business environment. She had another bundle today and asked if I needed any more. “Yes! You’re an angel!” I replied exhuberantly. “The bastards at work keep stealing them!”
The Amazing Race: All-Stars – Episode 4 Recap
Sunday, March 11th, 2007The Amazing Race: All-Stars – Season 11 – Episode 4
This week’s rundown:
Oswald & Danny
THIS WEEK – 1st, Won a trip for two to Maui with kayak trip and submarine tour!
LAST WEEK – 5th, arrived at 6:51pm
Oh, those lovable gay friends. Is this The Amazing Race or a pilot for a sitcom? I like this team, but c’mon editors, I’m sure they talk normal *sometimes*.
Eric & Danielle
THIS WEEK – 2nd
LAST WEEK – 3rd, arriving at 6:28pm
Speaking of editing… Every time he says “boobs” he gets airtime. Regardless, this is my odds on favorite for the win now that Rob & Amber biffed it.
Teri & Ian
THIS WEEK – 3rd
LAST WEEK – 6th, arriving at 6:53pm
They’ll do well. So long as every other team keeps screwing up.
Joe & Bill
THIS WEEK – 4th
LAST WEEK – 7th, arriving at 8:05pm
They had a bad week last week. Personally, I think it was the close proximity to Charla and Mirna. This week, I’d have been racing faster too to get away from those two. They passed Rob & Amber and Dustin & Candice on the detour so fast, they never knew what hit ‘em.
Dustin & Kandice
THIS WEEK – 5th
LAST WEEK – 4th, arriving at 6:48pm
The girls called it better than I could. They overthink *everything*. It must take them an hour just to pick out hairspray.
Uchenna & Joyce
THIS WEEK – 6th
LAST WEEK – 2nd, arriving at 6:26pm
Okay, okay. You’ve beat Rob & Amber twice. Don’t get cocky. You could be watching the show from the couch with Rob just as easily.
Charla & Mirna
THIS WEEK – 7th
LAST WEEK – 8th, arriving at 8:11pm
A whistle? Who the hell gave Mirna a whistle?!? OMG people. She really *can* be more annoying.
Who got kicked off?
Rob & Amber
THIS WEEK – 8th – Literally at a destination dubbed “the end of the world”.
LAST WEEK – 1st, arrived at 6:11pm
Arrogance and stubborness. Rob, you didn’t win survivor, and now you havn’t won Amazing Race *twice*. Think about it. Amber told you that you were wasting too much time building a sign on the detour. Nothing can beat you, except yourself it seems. On the plus side you have some pride in the fact Amazing Race will probably lose half it’s viewership now that you and Amber are gone. Hate to say it, but there were so many other teams I’d have rather seen go first.
