  Maybe This Only Amuses Me – Late Night with David Letterman Short Film

  February 12, 2008 / Maybe This Only Amuses Me

  Chris Elliott – The Traveling Poet Chris Elliott is possibly the most underappreciated comedian of the last twenty five years. He spent a long time with David Letterman doing various skits until he landed his own sitcom on Fox called Get A Life. The show was too funny and too weird for its own good (see: Arrested Development) and it was canceled. Elliott has made appearances in films such as Groundhog Day and Scary Movie 2 and also had a [...]

  Revisionist History – The Biography of Rosie O'Donnell

  February 12, 2008 / Editorials

  *Revisionist History is an ignorant, irreverent and often grossly inaccurate look at the past. Enjoy!* Bloated and gay. It’s been a long, hard road to stardom for the surly comedian from Huntington, New York. The only daughter of Don and Doris O’Donnell, young Roseanne was prone to sneaking out of the house to perform stand up comedy at local dive bars like the Yuck Yuck Shack and Timmy’s Waterin’ Hole. Despite her parent’s pleas to stay in school, Rosie dropped [...]

  Craigslist Personal Ads Are Full Of Weirdos

  February 8, 2008 / Editorials

  The internet is a great place to find a soul mate. Simply type a list of your favorite movies or briefly explain your interest in food and Cupid’s arrow will be arriving shortly. Craigslist personal ads have a particular knack for being at times bizarre, confusing and quite often embarrassing. Let’s take a look at a few choice pictures that were posted in my city of Portland, Oregon. NOTE: Feel free to click the pictures themselves to see a screenshot [...]

  Cave Babies Mobilize – Gerber Employees Fear For Lives

  February 5, 2008 / Creek of Consciousness

  I am amazed by facebook members that have over a thousand pictures of themselves. I don’t think a thousand pictures of me exist in this dimension let alone the Internet. Note: The Internet is a different dimension. Food is always best in sandwich form – turkey, fried haddock and me. The “bread” in the case of “me” is hot chicks with the occasional slice of pumpernickel. No cheese. Fat People Alert: I have recently noticed a poster for a peanut [...]

  Uninformed Reviews – Videogames: February 2008

  February 4, 2008 / Uninformed Reviews

  February is traditionally a slow time for new videogames. Christmas has gone back in its hole and New Year’s Evolutions are already broken. Luckily for gamers, there are a few new gems to dust off the K-Mart shelf and add to your collection! Devil May Cry 4 Executive Producer Tomonobu Itagaki says this is the, “Crying-est devil game to date.” I say it may be the deviling-est cry game to date. Kleenex peripheral is clunky at times. Score – 8.8 [...]

  Book Review and Analysis: A Confederacy of Dunces

  February 2, 2008 / Editorials

  “A good book is the precious life-blood of a master-spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose for a life beyond.” – Milton (p. 237) Comedy is truth and pain. Within that concept lives A Confederacy of Dunces, the 1981 Pulitzer Prize winning classic comedy by John Kennedy Toole. The award was given to Toole posthumously due to his unfortunate suicide in 1969. The book was published thanks to feverish lobbying by Toole’s mother to local college professor and writer Walker [...]

• Maybe This Only Amuses Me – Julie Brown Music Video

  January 31, 2008 / Maybe This Only Amuses Me

  Julie Brown – The Homecoming Queen’s Got A Gun This is the kind of crap I grew up on so it may be a clear indication of why I turned out this way. The 80′s were ridiculous.

  Government Enacts Elimination of the Bowl Cut: Offers Free Hippo Rides

  January 26, 2008 / Creek of Consciousness

  Someone once told me that eating fast food is incredibly unhealthy for your body. I don’t remember who told me that, though. Oh, that’s right, it was my asshole. Taco Bell is to me as canned spinach is to Popeye. However, instead of battleships firing cannonballs inside exaggerated biceps, the white flag of surrender waves inside my lower intestines and my consciousness sinks to the bottom of the Nap Sea. IKEA is an enormous home furnishing outlet where not only [...]

I promise to come back with full force as soon as things get settled. Thank you for your patience and stick with me. ~Bloop
