The Sure-fire, No Fail, Lose Weight, 100% Guaranteed BlogoBlackmore Diet
Do want to lose weight? Are you tired of seeing your fat face in pictures? Are you fed up with the feeling of being weighed down (pun intended)?
Well, I sure as fuck was.
So on April 7th I decided to do something about it.
Why April 7th? Because that was the day Jen came home with [...]
The 5 Best Xbox 360 Games of All Time
GTA IV
What I love about it: It’s cliche I know, but GTA IV is fucking awesome. Everyone and their dog ranked it 100 on the zero hour after it’s release; it’s ranked 98 on Metacritic for a reason
The city, the story, the soundtrack, the freedom; everything that made the previous GTA’s so fantastic is [...]
Should I Buy a $200 Pair of Ray Ban Aviator Sunglasses?
I’m at work yesterday afternoon when Jen calls me and says she has a surprise for me and I’m going to like it.

Michelob Ultra - Fruit Infused Beer - Bad Idea? or Horrible Idea?
I couldn’t believe it when I saw this on TV last night! It’s goddamn fruity beer!
Let’s face it: beer is for men. Remember men? The gender that by and large grows up trying to sneak out of eating fruit and sneaking out to drink beer!
Who thought this was a good idea? [...]
Stephen Colbert Buys the Hockey Night in Canada Theme Song
Stephen Colbert hilariously desecrates a Canadian treasure! This is the funniest segment I have seen on the show in a long time.
CTV “Saves” the Hockey Theme Songs - Reports CTV’s TSN.ca, most unbiasedly of course
So, recently we find out that the famous dun-dun-dun-dun-da opening theme to CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada will no longer be used on the program, due to a negotiation dispute with the song’s copyright holders.
Today we find out that it’s been snapped up by CTV, to be used on TSN’s Wednesday night NHL hockey broadcasts.

Dubya: The Movie!
If you haven’t heard by now let me be the first to tell you; Oliver Stone is filming a George W. Bush biopic called “W.”
Josh Brolin (who played bad-ass Llewelyn Moss in the recent summer hit No Country for Old Men) stars as Dubya himself, and Richard Dreyfuss will portray Dick Cheney. W. [...]
