I guess there are people out there that are turned on by birds. In fact, there’s a whole site dedicated to these freaky bastards people. Their mission statement clearly states: “Our goal is to show others what turns us on so that they can see the natural sexual ferocity of our feathered friends.” Makes sense…if you’re on crack.

A few more awesomely weird pictures after the link. (more…)

Sharen Turney, CEO of heaven Victoria’s Secret, has decided that their products and promotion are “too sexy” for the general public and wants to make a shift toward “a more sophisticated ‘ultra-feminine’” focus. They feel that the sexiness of their lingerie is hampering sales.

“I really feel so strongly about us getting back to our heritage and really thinking in terms of ultrafeminine and not just the word sexy,”

Listen, I’m no chick…but if I were, I’m pretty sure that Target would be my preferred place to get granny panties. Victoria’s Secret exists because it’s the place to go for sexy unmentionables. It’s also the place to go for dudes who want to stare at some of the greatest photographs ever taken. If they tone it down, what will we look at while our girlfriends shop for underwear? Their promo materials are the only things keeping us sane! Don’t take that away from us!

If you’re just waking up, you may be a bit confused to learn that it’s not yet March. What happened? We’re in that awkward pseudo time warp of February 29th, an event that only occurs once every four years. The reason we have this wacky day tacked on to our calendars once in a while is because it does not take the earth exactly 365 days to orbit the sun. As a result, some crazy math stuff happens and now we’re all confused what day it is.

If you feel all screwed up because of the extra day, just be glad you’re not Chinese. The Chinese calendar adds a whole month to its leap year. If you are Chinese, what the hell, man?

I don’t mean to alarm anyone, but it seems like there’s a major shortage of hops and malted barley, two of the main ingredients used in the brewing of beer. As a result, the cost of beer will begin to rise across the nation. The most affected beers will be those that come from microbreweries since they don’t have the kind of distribution that a company like Anheuser-Busch has.

On a lighter note, the brewers at Samuel Adams are selling off their extra hops below market value to help the microbreweries keep their production up.

The purpose of doing this is to get some hops to the brewers who really need them. So if you don’t really need them, please don’t order them. And don’t order them just because we’re making them available at a price way below market. Order them because you need these hops to make your beer. We’re not asking questions, so let your conscience be your guide.
We hope this makes brewing a little easier for those hardest hit by the hop shortage.

Kudos to Sam Adams.

Consider this your warning. I’m going to start hoarding like a squirrel does just before winter. Then I will hibernate in my house during the summer with stacks of six-packs and I will emerge in the autumn with a glorious beer belly and a wicked hangover. Surely society will have crumbled as a result of this shortage, but fear not. Dyna and I will rebuild and we will lead as two kings.

If you don’t watch Lost, then shame on you. Last night’s episode was an absolute mind-blower. This has quite possibly been one of the best seasons of any show on television ever so far. Actually, I’ll come right out and say it: Lost is the greatest show in history. Bar none. Take that, Cheers.

What’s that? You’ve never heard of Quarterlife? Don’t feel bad. Apparently not many people have. The show, which originated as an 8-minute-per-episode series online, made its network debut on NBC Tuesday night at 10 and only attracted 3.1 million viewers. Word on the street is that episode two might not even air.

This is what happens when you take a micro-series built for the MySpace generation and try to pry it into a post-prime time slot. The kids who watched that crap online have to be in bed by 9 anyways so how can anyone expect them to catch the show at 10? It’s madness I tell ya!

Check out the trailer for the new Will Ferrel/John C. Reilly movie, Step Brothers. These guys just keep pumping out the hits.

The mayor of a small town in Oregon has been removed from office after some half-naked pictures of her surfaced on MySpace. Carmen Kontur-Gronquist supposedly posed for the pictures in her underwear on a firetruck for a contest related to fitness and a relative “posted them on MySpace in hopes it would improve the social life of the single mother.”



Personally, I’d be proud to live in a town with a hot* mayor. Especially when my mayor looks like this:

*I would like to clarify that I do not necessarily find this woman to be hot. She has a man-face. Just wanted to clear up any potential confusion…

Would you believe me if I told you this is considered fashion? What if I told you it was created by a Japanese designer? It all makes sense now, doesn’t it? And yes, that’s a human being under there. It kind of looks like she could snip one of the strings and sail away like a schooner.

Brandy at Average-Chicks came across this site where people photoshop celebrity faces onto pictures of….ordinary people. There’s some seriously scary stuff on there. Check it out.
