Golf Fight
SIAP, but this is a pretty impressive video. NSFW language warning. The big guy who tosses the Hawaiian shirt guy in the lake is rumored to be former NHL enforcer Nick Tarnasky, which confirms that age old adage: "Don't get into a fight with former NHL enforcer Nick Tarnasky" -
Games When you're Bored at work
This past weekend, my workplace had a major IT upgrade event. Started Friday night and went all the way through Sunday. 30 of us worked until midnight-ish every night, and then got going again at 8AM. I wasn't part of the actual upgrade tasks, more on the organization and coordination side of... -
Here there be monsters: The Flashed Face Distortion Effect
Something to tickle your sense of cosmic dread, on this fine Friday. The phenomena explained: "Faces appear grotesquely transformed while the viewer focuses on the cross midway between them" Your brain is a fan of Lovecraft-ian horror, and there's nothing you can do about it, but stare into... -

Little Red Rubber Ball - A Grammar rule you didn't know you followed.
Here's something I find kind of fascinating. I'm going to summarize it from another source: If someone asked you what you see in that picture, the majority of people would say that it's some variant of a "little red rubber ball". The specific adjectives aren't particularly important, but... -
Severance: Season 2 (Spoilers)
Caught the first episode of the season last night. It picked right up where it left off. I honestly didn't see Lumon's "apology" response coming. I don't believe any of it for a second, but it was a clever direction to take things. Also, there's no way that's Helly with them. That's... -
Joe Abercrombie fans: Best Served Cold Movie
Not sure how I missed this, but it sounds like they're making Best Served Cold into a movie. Interesting, that of all of his books, that's the one they picked, but I guess I can understand it. It's a good standalone story that can let people dip their toe into the Circle of the World. Great... -
Midweek Off Topic Discussion - Best fast food breakfast item
It's Wednesday. Slow work day. Just read an article that referenced the Egg McMuffin as the peak example of fast food breakfast offerings, and I think I disagree. If I had to choose I honestly think the Chick Fil A, spicy chicken biscuit might be the pinnacle. What's your favorite? (No... -

Humpty Dumpty is ****ing weird
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall Humpty Dumpty had a great fall All the King's horses And all the King's men Couldn't put Humpty together again. Who was this guy? He must have been really important, because the King sends the ENTIRE ARMY to try to save one guy. That's the equivalent of calling in... -

Summer Topic: What's the best hot sauce?
As far as I'm concerned, hot sauce is an essential condiment. There are a huge number of smaller manufacturers that are fantastic, but of the bigger brands, what's your favorite? And what are some of your favorite applications? For example, home made fried rice with Trader Joe's Green Dragon... -
Boy Kills World
Has anyone else seen this? You might describe it as John Wick meets the Hunger Games meets the Running Man. Super stylized hyper violence. A deaf-mute kid grows up in a totalitarian regime, and sees his whole family killed by the government. So he dedicates his life to getting revenge. ... -
Poaching Cicadas?
"The state Department of Natural Resources is reminding people not to illegally take cicadas from state park properties." What kind of a psychopath is harvesting cicadas? That's some Jame Gumb level ****... -

Summer Thread: The decline of the sedan
Anyone else bummed that the auto industry is pivoting away from sedans in recent years? I was reading today that Genesis is ending the G70 line. I've owned two of them, as daily drivers, and they're honestly my favorite vehicle I've ever owned. It seems like every other day I'm reading... -
RIP Steve Albini
Just heard he passed away yesterday at 61 years old. The guy was a legendary music producer/audio engineer, particularly on the indie scene, who worked on a bunch of iconic albums like Pixies:Surfer Rosa and Nirvana:In Utero. Also worked the Breeders, Bush, Jesus Lizard, Veruca Salt, and a... -
Hundreds of Beavers
Anyone else see this yet? I just got done watching with my kids. One of the strangest movies I've seen, while still being absolutely worth watching. I'm not sure I've ever heard my 9 year old son laugh longer or louder. I'm not even sure it's a kids movie, though. It's sort of a live...
