I realize Mr. Wizard has passed away, but doesn’t he have a grandkid or something that can pass on the tradition? Remember the experiments he would do? He had Bunsen burners and blow torches.
Is science real any more, or is it all Gaea worship? Is the scientific method now a mere formality? Something that’s only used if it [...]
I’m almost positive that this idea had the opposite of the intended effect but you have to give the guy credit for the effort.
The accompanying song for today was selected specifically in tribute to today’s model. Everyone should know this song; it’s some good country cheese from 1979. Which, by the way, was one year before today’s model was born. [...]
Here’s the one I wanted to post, fits the season better but they disabled embedding.
File under “Dog Continues to Bite Same Man.”
He’s the original “Don’t taze me, Bro!”. Although for him it was more like “Don’t continue nightsticking the shit out of me, Bros!”
Southern California police said 1991 police beating victim Rodney King has been shot, but the wounds are not life-threatening.
The mere fact that this guy is still alive is [...]
How else would you interpret this story from the New York Post via Lucianne?

…and apparently a hip replacement. Seriously dude, what’s wrong with you.
Thank God they were out of the 3 liter bottles, that’s all I’m saying.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
wiserbud’s likes his cell phone on vibrate.
Seriously…
Just to bring the blog back towards a more heterosexual topic (Broadway? PA, did you accidentally place that post here, instead of on the “Effeminate, Bald, Gay, Dog Groomers Who Like Hermaphrodites, Lemon Parties, Dancing with Men and Broadway Shows Who Support Dennis Kucinich but Think John Edwards is Just the Dreamiest (Siggggghhhhhh….)” blog [...]
The Broadway strike has ended. What better way to celebrate than by listening to the BeeGees performing Nights On Broadway?Only here, at the Hostages, can current events, disco balls (yes I have one hanging about 10 feet from me–when you visit, we can turn it on and dance) and mullets all come together like a really good [...]
If this was a normal debate where the candidates can all regurgitate their stump speech, that would not justify attention.
However, I expect CNN to exclusively choose videos that express different versions of “when did you stop killing children” and “why do you hate Mexicans”. Therefore tonight’s debate could be more entertaining and ridiculous than normal.
The [...]

Yeeah!

Man…I wish I would have thought of that.
If you can tell me what movie this is from, you win a prize.
And I used to play high school football.
For two schools, no less. I had to move from the Chicago area to East Grand Rapids, MI my senior year when my parents split up. I was pissed off, partly because I played football and the school that I went to in Wheaton, IL had a [...]
She really, really wanted that UltraVibe Pleasure 2000
I saw one of my kids playing this addicting game.
The idea is to throw greasy food at Paris Hilton, and make her eat until she gets as fat as PJ Momma, and has to get liposuction.
It’s kinda funny the first time you play it. But it’s not really addicting.
I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving! It’s my favorite meal and I got to eat it twice yesterday so it was a good day. And this afternoon is Christmas tree shopping so all is well in my world.
Wiserbud and NiceDeb have some “fun” family stories from past holidays which I don’t really have. My family is [...]
