This Boy Elroy

Priceless

Mrs. Garrett doing body shots!? Catherine Helmond is a dead ringer for Cynthia Nixon. This is gold.

Popcorn for everyone!

I love the movie "Real Genius." Val Kilmer was brilliant and when I was a kid I wanted so badly to go to college and live in a dorm with science nerds, coating the floors of our dorm in dry ice, and riding super-secret roller-coaster like elevators to cavernous computer rooms where brilliant burnouts of yesteryear ruminated.

Well it turns out that reality has caught up with fiction and the laser technology featured in the movie has come to fruition. We're making progress people. Popcorn for everyone!

Maybe so. But THEN my consciousness would be downloaded and I'd be regenerated shortly thereafter in a pool of warm pink goo on the mothership, just in time to join my pals for a game of spook the human. Good times!

Under Barack Obama

I'm so amused by this.

The guy who plays Obama is very attractive IMO.

BSG - S4

This photo makes me giddy as a school boy.

In the Wired article that this photo accompanied one of the cast member let it slip that "Hillary's the final Cylon." Who said there's no truth on TV?

If you're a fan be sure to check out Letterman tonight, the cast will be presenting the "Battlestar Galactica" Top Ten.

When Alter-Egos Collide

The Sony Time Machine Beta-Max!

My favorite quotes from this video:

"The beta-max will allow you to break the time barrier!"

"With the beta-max you are the controller and preserver of time!"

"And...consider the ultimate conquest of time!!"

I hear all these stories about how the '70s were just a big party but from the shadow people in this commercial it seems all anyone wants to do it watch TV. Hell, they go so far as to complain that their company caused them to miss their favorite show, that they should be at home watching TV instead of at the symphony, and even losing weight isn't enough recompense for missing their favorite TV show. I thought people were nuts about TV now but they were really nuts about it in 1975.

I'm also surprised that they tout the ease of use of this new product. It's got enough dials and buttons that it even scares me, a lover of all things technical.

L'Alamo D'Etre

I don't remember how I found this but here it is.

What is it? Well, in the U.S. (Dorothée has told me that it's not like this in France) when you learn the passé composé (past tense) you will inevitably learn La Maison D'etre. La Masion D'Etre is a representation to learn all of the verbs that use "etre" as the auxiliary verb in the past tense. The idea is that all of the verbs are verbs that you do in or in relation to a house.

Someone at the University of Texas has put a Texas slant on the trick and created L'Alamo D'Etre. I like the armadillos, especially the one that's resting with a beret. I'm assuming the alien is there because of the Marfa lights.

Totally '80s

I love Morgan Fairchild, she's a plastic surgery success story. Morgan was also recently inducted into the Texas film hall of fame alongside Mike Judge, creator of Beavis and Butthead and King of The Hill.

Now for something completely different!

After all that political back and forth on the previous post we all need to come together as one and profess our love for Niecy Nash.

I love her on Reno 911. I love that she showed up in character to the Reno 911 movie premiere in this outfit, she is proud of that junk, you go gurl! I love her on Clean House. Love, love, love you Niecy!
