Selleck Waterfall Sandwich

You want your Web 2.0? You got it. This is what it's all about. Nothing but pictures featuring Tom Selleck, waterfalls, and sandwiches.

Bask in it.

That brother's bite was outta sight!

Went to the charming video shop Mother's Movies in Patchogue today with the girlfriend, and we picked ourselves up a nice little smorgasbord of cinematic delights.

I snagged a double-feature of "Blacula," and the sequel with Pam Grier, "Scream, Blacula, Scream" on one disc, as well as the 1977 classic (not really a classic), "Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo," which should pair nicely with a viewing of "Kingdom of the Spiders" (starring none other than Captain Kirk himself) later tonight.

Alli picked up a copy of "Food of the Gods," as well as a 1980 movie she'd just read about someplace, called "Without Warning." It's supposed to be a sort of proto-"Predator," inasmuch as it's about an alien coming to Earth and hunting people. The kicker is that apparently Kevin Peter Hall, who wore the Predator suit in both of those movies (as well as the sasquatch suit in "Harry and the Hendersons!") plays the alien in this movie, too. Fun!

"Bunch of Phonies Mourn J.D. Salinger"

Excellent lil' obit from The Onion.

Word is that Obama will be announcing plans for an eight-billion-dollar highspeed rail project, either tonight in his State of the Union address, or possibly tomorrow. If it's tonight, try work it into your SOTU drinking game. Drink for every "let me be clear," "save or create jobs," and denial that the project will bear any resemblance to the 1979 TV show Supertrain, either in ballooning production costs or hasty failure.

 

Update: Jim Treacher points out that folks at the Cato Institute will be drinking liveblogging the SOTU tonight at 9pm Eastern. Also, so will he, probably.

Presented without comment...

"Somebody do some magic..."

The girlfriend just asked a perfectly legitimate question: Why, after Kitty Pryde went flying off into deep space inside a giant bullet at the end of Joss Whedon's run on Astonishing X-Men, is her fate being revealed in an upcoming issue of Uncanny X-Men? Like, why is a character's story arc being resolved in an entirely different series? Certainly, a reasonable thing to wonder.

I tried to come up with answer, became flustered, and ultimately couldn't, offering only weak excuses and examples of confusing crossovers from the 90s.

Sandra Lee's Kitchen

Look how white it is. Imagine Ms. Lee, concocting some sort of mixed-berry smoothie in her blender (laden with hi-test booze, natch), and neglecting to make sure the top is secure. Imagine a Vesuvian torrent of red and purple mash erupting onto her immaculate cabinets and countertops. Imagine her reaction.

I mean, look how white it is.

(This has been a test of the Blogger labeling thingy.)

Here I is.
