I wish that worked against bugs and stuff
My Smoochie- Nora to her Mother- has a new obsession. It used to be Caillou-
He was a little whiney but tolerable.
Now- OMG- she likes this--
DORA THE EXPLORER!!!
IT' S SOOOO ANNOYING!!! all the yelling and general stupidness- (yes that's a word in my world)
One thing is kind of entertaining- when they are on their adventure there is always a part where they have to watch out for Swiper the Fox!
He likes to "swipe" things and keep them.
They are able to foil him by saying loud three times- SWIPER, NO SWIPING!
then he stops and exclaims- "OOHH MAN!!! and walks away.
I wish that worked on other things. Wouldn't it be great to just yell at the gabby annoying person at the office-

Nice surprises
Remember how cool it felt to find the prize in a Cracker Jack box?
Well it was awesome!
This is similar -
Finding a lone onion ring in your fries
Pretty awesome I think.

Rescue Me is back- bask in the awesomeness!
http://www.popeater.com/2010/06/29/top-rescue-me-moments/?icid=popeater-iphone-url
For the last six years, FX's 'Rescue Me' has performed one of the most
compelling high-wire acts in television history, expertly mixing high
drama with gut-busting comedy, often in the same scene. And at the
center of it all, of course, has been Denis Leary, whose portrayal of
a New York fireman dealing with personal demons has turned Tommy Gavin
into one of the most memorable characters ever to grace the small
screen.
Yet some of you still might not understand what all the 'Rescue Me'
hype is about. Well, don't worry -- that's what we're here for. In
order to prepare you for the penultimate season of 'Rescue Me,'
premiering tonight, we've put together a list of some of the most
memorable moments in 'Rescue Me' history. Because it's time to stop
talking about how cool the show is and start watching the proof.
o. Eight Fingers of Whiskey. Perhaps no clip encapsulates the paradox
of both Tommy as a character and 'Rescue Me' as a show than this soul-
bearing monologue, which Tommy delivers to a pub full of skeptical bar
patrons, when asked to prove his membership in the FDNY.
o. Sensitivity Training. Any number of shows, perhaps most famously
'The Office,' have spun comedic gold from the universally dreaded
"sensitivity training." But most of those shows are on network
television. Here, the gang from 'Rescue Me' shows how it's done, cable-
style.
o. The Wheelchair. Picture it: You're on a fire call -- there's heavy
damage to the building and residents are trapped several floors up.
Only one problem: the guy you're sent to rescue can only get around in
a giant, robotic wheelchair. What do you do? Here's a tip: don't stand
around laughing at him because, apparently, that's not really going to
help anything.
o. The Conversation. What do fathers and sons really mean when they
shoot the breeze about sports and television? Tommy and his dad give
an insightful look at the subtext present within every bit of male
bonding.
o. The Game. When Tommy suspects that his ex-wife is considering
moving away with her new boyfriend -- and taking their children with
her -- he comes up with a simple plan to find the truth: bribe his
kids into telling him all the secrets of her relationship. Note --
this useful bit of parenting advice is not considered standard by most
trained professionals.
o. The Perfect Date. In this classic clip, we learn Tommy's idea of
the perfect date: his lady cooking him a big steak while wearing
something skimpy, followed by some post-dinner acrobatics on the
dining room table. And if you happen to be as forceful and charismatic
as Denis Leary, well, you might get away with this. But we really
don't recommend trying it for your next date night.

ok- proof that people need to work on their "Zombie Plan"
I am in the "green" zone on this. That Means- I'm Awesome and will survive when the Zombies attack.
Sad that SOO MANY are in the "red".
BTW- being the "red" means when- not if- when the "Zombies" attack- as the creepy old man in Poltergiest 2 said-
"YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"
Makes you wanna work on the Zombie Plan doesn't it.

I love Mr. Steve Martin
Click on the title to go and read the actual concert Rider from Steve martin when he performs with his blue grass band.
Artists have been notorious for asking for odd and unusual items from concert venues- bowl of ONLY green M&M's, Giant Baby Bottle, or Barrell of Monkey's.
This one is AWESOME! Steve's requests are "creative" to say the least.
A couple of choices favs-
* 24 area dancers costumed as Scientists Just for fun
* Golf Cart must be available to transport Steve and the Steep Canyon Rnagers from the dressing room area to the stage. If distance is less than 30 feet, Steve and the Steep Canyon Rnagers will do a couple of laps around the venue prior to the show so, it doesn't go to waste.

At the end it may just be Ozzy and roaches.
http://www.asylum.com/2010/06/16/scientists-to-study-black-sabbath-ozzy-osbournes-genome/?icid=asylum-iphone-url
Our happy hour fact to amaze your drinking buddies with.
Ozzy Osbourne's genome will be sequenced, in hopes that scientists can figure out how the notoriously self-destructive rocker is still alive.
"Sequencing and analyzing individuals with extreme medical histories provides the greatest potential scientific value," Nathan Pearson, director of research at Knome, a leading gene-sequencing company, told the U.K. newspaper the Daily Mail.
Although the 61-year-old Osbourne has been sober for eight years, he spent the bulk of his life consuming legendary amounts of alcohol and hard drugs, as well as engaging in other high-risk activities.
The bat community will be keeping its webbed fingers crossed in hopes Knome won't conclude that Ozzy's stunning longevity can be attributed to his unique diet of their heads.

So does this mean The Pope hates Illinois Nazis too?
Vatican calls ‘Blues Brothers’ a ‘Catholic classic’
Comedy joins ‘The Passion of The Christ’ among recommended films
By Eric J. Lyman
Hollywood Reporter
In the story, Jake and Elwood — played by John Belushi, right, and Dan Aykroyd, respectively — embark on an unlikely road trip featuring concerts, car chases, clashes with the police and neo-Nazi groups, all, ostensibly, to raise money for the church-run orphanage where they grew up
TAORMINA, Sicily — When Jake and Elwood Blues, the protagonists in John Landis' cult classic “The Blues Brothers,” claimed they were on a mission from God, the Catholic Church apparently took them at their word.
On the 30th anniversary of the film's release, “L'Osservatore Romano,” the Vatican's official newspaper, called the film a “Catholic classic” and said it should be recommended viewing for Catholics everywhere.
The film is based on a skit from “Saturday Night Live.” In the story, Jake and Elwood — played by John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, respectively — embark on an unlikely road trip featuring concerts, car chases, clashes with the police and neo-Nazi groups, and attempts at revenge from a spurned lover, all, ostensibly, to raise money for the church-run orphanage where they grew up.
But aside from a brief appearance from Kathleen Freeman as a wrist-slapping nun referred to as “The Penguin” and the brothers' periodic claim that they were on a mission from God, spirituality does not play a significant role in the film.
In addition to Belushi and Aykroyd, the film featured an all-star cast including musicians James Brown, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, John Lee Hooker, and Chaka Khan, in addition to noted actors John Candy, Carrie Fisher, Charles Napier, and Henry Gibson, and cameo roles for Frank Oz, Steven Spielberg, Landis, Mr. T, and Paul Reubens.
With the recommendation, “The Blues Brothers” joins the list of dozens of films recommended by Catholic authorities that includes Cecil B. DeMille's “The Ten Commandments,” “Jesus of Nazareth” from Franco Zeffirelli, Mel Gibson's “The Passion of The Christ,” Victor Flemming's “Joan of Arc,” and “It's a Wonderful Life” from Frank Capra.

Was there possibly "cahoots"
Was watching Back to the Future 2 today.
I noticed something- when the delorean takes off in "hover mode", it sounds suspiciously like
The Millenium Falcon!
Since Spielberg produced BTTF- and he is buddies with George (Star Wars) Lucas- ya think there was "cahoots" and GL let SS borrow the sound?
That will haunt my dreams.
Ok, seriously it will bug me a little

HOLY S@&$! I don't think I could get that in my mouth.
Check out: "Is This 210-Pound Burger The New World's Biggest?" - www.asylum.com
http://www.asylum.com/2010/06/08/is-210-pound-burger-new-worlds-biggest/?icid=asylum-iphone-url
We have a rule at Asylum, a fairly simple and medically sound one: Do not eat anything heavier than our own body weight.
Which will keep us from indulging in this 210-pound burger, made from 178 pounds of ground beef, 120 eggs, 16 tomatoes, 120 cheese slices, 4 pounds of lettuce and 46 pounds of bread. It's then topped off with a pound of barbecue sauce.
Bosses at Ambrosia on the Spot in Sydney, Australia, created the burger in a bid to get into the Guinness Book of Records. They say it took months of planning and over 12 hours to cook.
Evidence of the burger -- which could feed 100 -- has now been sent to Guinness World Records offices and is expected to take the title from a 185-pound burger made in the U.S. However, we're wondering whatever happened to the 590-pounder grilled up by barbecue chef Ted Reader in Canada last month.
Keep reading to see footage of the colossal gut-buster and if any professionals in the field of giant-burger judging are reading this, please clear up our confusion in the comments.

You always remember your first!
My first “love”!
The first Car ( of the now ten I have owned) was the 1964 AMC Rambler Classic 770.
It was bought new by a nice lady in St.Cloud who only drove it to “Church and the grocery store”. She left it to her nephew with only a small dent and 24xxx miles. The Dad and I bought it for $1000 bucks in 1988.
I LOVED this car!!!
It came to an untimely end – cause I smashed it up- a few years later but it had a nice ride!
My best memories (outside of romantic ones) in this car involve playin’ CB Tag with My Boys- the Bastards.
We developed this game by accident-we all had CBs in our cars and would play a radical version of hide and seek in our cars.
You were “tagged” when a “seeker” was behind you by less than a car length at a stop sign or red stop light. This and the boundary lines were pretty much THE ONLY RULES.
As 18 year old boys- we were CRAZY! Honestly- looking back- I am amazed no one got hurt. We only had two crashes in the 5 months or so we played the game.
It got sooo crazy- the County Sherriff had a “Task Force” to catch us.
They did- it took them two months and a team of 10 officers- but they did.
The Bastards have joked about playing ‘Tag’ again someday but with all of us being “grown-up” now I doubt it.
Maybe when we are all retired and need something to do we’ll play again. Or then again- maybe that’s when we’ll take up “skitchin’” again.
But that’s another story!

I'm not the only one, thank God!
http://www.popeater.com/2010/05/20/guy-loves-sex-and-the-city/?icid=popeater-iphone-url
Pop-Ed: I'm not trying to be ironic. I'm not trying to be proud. I'm not even trying to score points with the ladies. And I'm certainly not apologizing. I'm just saying I'm a (straight) man, I've seen and enjoyed all of 'Sex and the City,' dug the movie and I'm psyched for the sequel. And I feel like I'm the only one.I sometimes wish I could write off the fashiony, gossipy adventures of Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte as a guilty pleasure, but in truth I spend more time shrugging my shoulders, misunderstanding why guys avoid the show the way they avoid buying tampons or watching 'The Bachelorette.'
Read about my love affair with 'Sex' after the jump.
When the complete DVD set turned up on my then-girlfriend's doorstep in all its pink, velvet glory, I'd never seen an episode. I grumbled and tried to make jokes at the show's expense -- this was being forced to watch 'Moulin Rouge' all over again -- and, like that fabulous musical that charmed me when I least expected it, 'Sex and the City' surprised the hell outta me. It was like finding my sister's Cosmopolitan (the magazine, not the Carrie-and-co-endorsed cocktail), making sure no one was looking and pawing through pages from the minds of women, for women. It was like that, only much more entertaining, less obsessed with 75 boilerplate bedroom tips and with nudity galore. I laughed a lot, became invested in the characters and just really enjoyed the show.
The glitzy New Yorkiness of it all, watching in small-town Maine and dreaming of moving to the city, was intensely alluring. Since living and writing in New York, I've seen firsthand that Carrie's columnist-in-a-huge-apartment-buying-thousands-of-shoes lifestyle is fantasy BS (and that cabs do go to Brooklyn, Miranda, and real-life people commute from that supposed nether-realm each and every day), but I just don't care. Carrie and her ilk are well-written characters who, when you move past the headlines and the misconceptions, can span more demographics than reason would suggest.
This isn't to say I couldn't see the show's flaws, and the same went for the 2008 movie. There was plenty not to like -- after six seasons of Carrie and Big's will-they-won't-they, I just wanted to see them together, not fighting and being depressed -- but, just like I approach my Stephen King fanaticism (which is way out of hand), I treat the movie and the series like a relationship: Recognize the major imperfections, ignore the small ones and try to love it as a whole. I thought the movie rocked a fairly unblazed trail in taking a TV serial and continuing its thread on the silver screen. When it came to critics' opinions -- particularly as time has passed these two years -- and even regular old friends, I felt more and more like a loner in my unrepentant fandom of the flick.Now the sequel. Again, I'm excited. When I saw the first trailer with my gal, I nudged her and said we'd need to go, even if it was under the guise of her wanting to see it. I gasped -- a little, just a little, guys! -- when I saw Aidan pop up. I sunk into the familiar viewing groove when I heard Carrie's narration over the shimmery shots of Manhattan. Hell, I'm excited to hear Liza Minnelli's take on Beyonce's 'Single Ladies.'
I'll be there on opening weekend, sticking out like a sore thumb and not caring, but still wondering ... where are the others like me?

ME to Star Wars-"I love you!"- Star Wars says- "I know"
Would have loved to have been in LA last night for the 30th Aniversary screening/fundraiser of “The Empire Strikes Back”
In attendance- not pictured-Mark Hamill (Luke), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), Billy Dee Williams(Lando), Ewan Mcgregor(young Obi-Wan) and Han Solo himself- Harrison Ford. He also did a Q&A after the film- oooooohhhhhh would that have been awesome to witness.
Made me nostalgic for many things Star Wars. This Weekend I am going to my parents house to go thruohg my stuff from the attic and I know I’ll find many classic Star Wars toys( along with some Batman stuff) here are a few classic and modern Star Wars products that stand out. (Via MSN)
Marvel released comics for all the 'original trilogy' films, had many of these- including the GIANT one.
The 'Think Geek' site sells this. so you too can be Luke cuddling in the warmth of a TaunTaun.
TaunTaun smell not included.
I find your lack of Jam disturbing!
a toaster that imprints Lord Vader on your Toast.
Gotta wonder who came up with this one.
O Hasbro and their 'mail in' offers. This was one of many- the main one I remember was the one for Boba Fett before he was released to buy in the store. That one had the launchable rocket pack too.
And finally- the grail of Star Wars items
ANYTHING with "Revenge of the Jedi"
the original title of Episode VI. Then george decided , 'revenge' was not a Jedi concept.
I had a hat with this one it at one time- maybe I'll find it in the 'stuff from the attic'

In a neat case of life imitating art, while proving the former is much less exciting, a would-be comic book thief was apprehended at an Australian comic book store this weekend by a crimefighter wearing a full Spider-Man costume.
When store owner Michael Baulderstone spotted the customer slip a $150 "X-Men Omnibus" into his backpack and make for the exit, he knew he had to act fast.
With his Spidey-sense tingling -- he was wearing a full Spider-Man costume for International Free Comic Day -- the 45-year-old sprang into action and followed the thief through the store to challenge him.
Then, in a sight which makes us glad CCTV was invented, he demanded the man hand over his bag and carried it back through the Adelaide store, followed by the red-faced crook.
During the incident Spidey, sorry Michael, shouted over to a group of 40 other costumed comic book shoppers, including Jedi knights and the Flash, to block the door.
However, he says it was not until he asked the collected superheroes to call the police that they realized exactly what was happening. Until then they'd all thought it was a PR stunt.
Keep reading to see Spidey in action.
