Can’t get enough of your nerdtastic friends quoting every line from every bit of the venerated comic troupe Monty Python? Or the never ending loop of Monty Python’s Flying Circus on your local PBS station? Well then, this is your lucky day ’cause those Limey Bastards have now opened up their very own YouTube channel!

Three guys (Chad, Matt and Rob) have produced an actual interactive choose your own adventure series of videos using YouTube and its new feature of placing links and comments over the video.
At the end of each episode (above being episode one) you are given two choices as to what our heroes should do next, taking you to a new video chapter. The choice you make will determine what happens to them, with the ultimate goal of getting the three knuckleheads safely to their office meeting so they don’t get fired. Choose poorly and they’ll get their asses kicked by an assorted list of evildoers.
As if YouTube isn’t already a massive time-sink, this clever use of the video application will more than likely take those minutes left in out lives away.
Today marks the 30th anniversary of The Star Wars Holiday Special! Don’t know what the hell I’m talking about? Well shame on you. Just watch the above video and check out StarWarsHolidaySpecial.com to get yourself educated.
Happy Life Day to all my fellow Star Wars nerds!
This fine photograph you see before you has been making the rounds and has yet to proven as a hoax. Its origins being directly from whitehouse.gov pretty much knocks that theory out in my opinion.
What’s so special about this boring photo you may ask. Look closely at it. Notice that they are all making the same hand gesture? That’s what makes this particular photograph special. I think (and you all can correct me if I am wrong) that either the Arizona State University Men’s and Women’s Track Team have pulled off one of the greatest comedy stunts in political history, or the current president is far more hip than we all imagined.
For those of you not in the know, that hand gesture they are all throwing is lovingly named the Shocker. I’ll give you a moment to read about it. Done? OK, let’s continue.
So as I have now seen throughout the Internets, the Shocker, one described as “Two in the pink, one in the stink.” has now been replaced with the new description of “Two in the Bush, one in the tush.”
God bless the U.S.A. and it’s raunchy little brains.
Jim Reardon is a director and storyboard consultant best known for his work on The Simpsons. During his student years at the California Institute of the Arts he created possibly one of the greatest cult classic animated shorts - Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown, in which Charlie Brown is on the run from the Peanuts Gang after the Great Pumpkin puts a bounty on his head.
These little pets of the dead can be found over at the ever quirky Archie McPhee. Ever loving and ever hungry for your brains, these zombielicious critters would make a fine addition to any family. They may not do a lot of tricks but they will keep unwanted visitors, like those pesky Jehovah Witness, far and away. So please, give these needy pets a home.
Say it ain’t so? The knuckleheads that brought us Dumb and Dumber and There’s Something About Mary are prepared to unleash their version of an American classic - the Tree Stooges.
The Farrelly Brothers script places the beloved Stooges in the modern day, but unchanged in their slap-happy low-tech comedy that made the Tree Stooges famous. It will be either a PG or PG-13 film, aiming for the father wanting to introduce their sons to the Stooges and create a new generation of fans.
Moe, Larry and Curly are the iconic three of the Three Stooges line-up though there were many others that rotated in and out of the group, most notably Shemp. Their slap-stick humor spanned for almost 50 years, being featured on stage and screen.
Even though the Farrelly Brothers are probably today’s best bet to bring the Stooges to the silver screen, like many other remakes and films “inspired” by original characters, I’m smelling a stinker.

Yet another Dreamworks movie that will crush other films when it’s released into the wild - Monsters vs. Aliens. Hitting theaters March of 2009, the story will go thusly:
When California girl Susan Murphy is unexpectedly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall and is instantly labeled a “monster” named Ginormica. The military jumps into action, and she is captured and held in a secret government compound. The world learns that the military has been quietly rounding up other monsters over the years. This ragtag group consists of the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement time is cut short however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country.
As a last resort, under the guidance of General W.R. Monger (on a desperate order from The President), the motley crew of Monsters is called into action to combat the aliens and save the world from imminent destruction.
The film has a pretty amazing lineup including Reese Witherspoon, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnett, Seth Rogen and Stephan Colbert. Not too shabby at all.
And Monsters vs. Aliens will be released in 3D in select theaters. Nerdtastic.

Here’s some shots from this past weekend’s Saloncon, with your fearless leader being schooled in what happens when you taunt a woman with a clockwork arm. The story goes something like this…
Me: Hey there lady, that’s a fine hat ya gots there.
Lady: Why thank you! I love it quite well, I do.
Me: You know I could hang that thing easily twixt my nether region ya know.
Her: Why dear sir, I never…
Me: AGGHAAA!
Her: Take that you unkempt cad!
Fun story ain’t it? I guess that schooled me good. In any case you can see a tun of photos from this past Saloncon on their Flickr profile. And if you’re looking for some ass-kicking Steampunk gear, like the clockwork arm in these pictures, go and check out Brute Force Leather.
