Frequent Simpsons Quote...

Homer: Got any of that beer that has candy floating in it? You know, Skittlebrau?
Apu: Such a beer does not exist, sir. I think you must have dreamed it.
Homer: Oh. Well, then just give me a six-pack and a couple of bags of Skittles.

A depressing fact...



As i begin my Ph.D. in chemistry, i must face the fact that no matter how good i get at chemistry, i will never be able to carry out reactions as well as a single bacterium. That's a pretty sad fact if you ask me, some of the most brilliant minds in the world are trying to catch up to the level of chemistry a paramecium can do. Damn.

Seriously Hoff, you've got to be joking!

A pause for patriotism...



NEW YORK -- Jim Leyland put his argument with umpires on hold for a moment of patriotism.

The Detroit Tigers' manager was ejected in the seventh inning of Thursday's 6-4 loss to New York, then he went onto the field to argue with plate umpire James Hoye.

Leyland got to the plate and started jawing with Hoye when Yankee Stadium public address announcer Bob Sheppard called for a moment of silence followed by the playing of Kate Smith's rendition of "God Bless America." Leyland backed off and stood at attention before resuming the argument.

"That was a little embarrassing," Leyland said. "I certainly in no way, shape or form would I ever be disrespectful. But you don't tell the umpires, 'Hey, I've got to listen to Kate.' "

Leyland was unhappy with Hoye's strike zone. Leyland, tossed for the second time this season, said he did not deserve to be ejected.

"I say less to the umpires than any manager in this league," he said.

Jim Leyland is all that is man!

McDonald's is racist...


Is it McDonald's or MkkkDonalds? I'm not so sure anymore. Of course we can all remember their set of commercials aimed at the African American demographic, the pinnacle being a group of young kids playing basketball...on rollerblades in the hood. Sure that was all fine and dandy, but have you seen the new chicken fries commercial? It features a father chicken coming home to see his son chicken hanging out with a bunch of french fries, listening to some hip hop music. The dad asks the small chicken (just a reminder chicken is a WHITE meat) what he's doing with the "fries." The kid chicken tells the dad that the "fries" are his "boys" (racist generalization). The father then proceeds to tell the kid chicken that he can't hang out with his "boys" or he's going to end up being "one of them" (racist) too. He even goes as far as saying that they are just a "side dish" (jeez McDonald's why don't you just send them to the back of the bus). So wake up McDonald's this isn't 1955!

Frequent Simpsons Quote...

Incredible Rube Goldberg Machine

This is one hell of an impressive way to get a bag of tea into water, this must have taken some serious time. Personally if i drank tea i think i would just take the bag out of the box and drop it into a cup of water, but to each is your own!

ZOOM ZOOM...



As you can tell today's posts have a theme... Joel Zumaya. He is a relief pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, and i believe his middle name is "badass." As he jogs in from the bullpen and Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix (hence the video) blares over the loud speakers, the crowd gets electric, and opposing batters feel a warm liquid running down their inner thigh. This 21 year old flamethrower feeds off the crowd's energy and his adrenaline levels soar to a dangerous high. I was at the game the other day and he was so jacked up he unleashed his first pitch at 101 mph over the head of the batter and hitting the backstop. Now i don't think i would like to step into the batters box against someone throwing smoke like that with an adrenaline problem. Earlier in the year he hit a player in the hand with a fastball, tiger's manager Jim Leyland said that he knew it was broken right away when he could hear the players bones break from the dugout. This kid is all that is man, he routinely hits 100, 101, 102 and sometime 103 and 104 mph(see the video below) on the radar gun. He is one of the hardest throwing pitchers to EVER play the game! Players don't see his pitches, they hear them! Check out the Tiger's future lights out closer, because his fastball is a sight to see!

Joel Zumaya throws straight GAS!

i'm not sure what language this broadcast is in, but all you need to do is check out the speed on his fastball in the upper right corner... 104 are you KIDDING ME!

Nirvana: Heart Shaped Box

This is my favorite song, by my favorite band of all time. The premise of this video is said to be a recreation of a dream that Kurt Cobain had. Ahh how chemicals can have an effect on the human brain.

More Christopher Titus

This is another clip from his standup: "Normal Rockwell is Bleeding." This stuff is amazing, cracks me up every time. I will continue to put up clips of Christopher Titus from time to time.

Andy Dick and Angels

I'm not a fan of Andy Dick, but this clip from his short lived show is fairly funny, and definitely worth a watch.

It's official...



The detroit tigers have ended their consecutive streak of losing seasons at 12 seasons. They have not had a winning season since 1993, but with their 81st victory tonight they have at least locked a .500 season up. With 36 games left I have a feeling they are even going to be above the .500 mark. It is a great year to be a tigers fan, especially for those like me who have suffered for YEARS! GO TIGERS!

Check out the Raconteurs LIVE...

I found these MP3's of the Raconteurs live at Lollapalooza 2006 at Culture Bully's site. Definitely check these out, they include some great covers, and they rock incredibly hard.

I really like the optical and spatial illusions that occur in some of his work. Check out more about M.C. Escher, and look at more of his artwork, it's worth a few minutes out of your day.

it is scary to think that a dude with sheer man killing abilities like tyson is so mentally unstable. This is a hard hitting montage of punches that would kill your average horse. Iron Mike is one intersting dude, and he'll eat your kids!

What's been crankin'



I've been listening to the new Tool album 10,000 days a fair amount in preparation for their show I'm going to see in September. I can venture to guess that the Smashing Pumpkins will be high on the list next week due to the fact that I am incredibly pumped to hear they are back in the studio recording a new CD! I can't wait to have the opportunity to see them in concert when they have they have their upcoming tour (hopefully!).

Blog of the week...


This is a blog entitled "Gum Time" by Detroit Tigers pitcher Nate Robertson. This phenomena started this season and consists of some of the tigs on the bench (usually the starting pitchers who are not scheduled to start) putting in a gynormous wad of Big League Chew which occurs when a rally is in the making. It has proven successful many times, and will continue to do so. It is one of many very fun things that are happening this year at Comerica Park, if you have a chance to see these guys play DO IT!

Speaking of The Simpsons...

A great clip featuring Homer preparing for Whacking Day and showing us what a parental guidance truly means!

The White Stripes: The Hardest Button To Button

I tried surfing for the first time ever with my brother this past weekend. It was a helluva work out, trying to paddle like crazy to catch a wave. Of course we didn't see any waves like this in Lake Michigan, but there were large enough waves to surf them.

G.O.B. Bluth

and it WAS disgusting!

The Broken Lizard guys are cool as hell...

I recently had the opportunity to take place in a "beer olympics" with two of the members of Broken Lizard. Not only did team 16, "the loose seals" finish at the top, but we got to BS with Kevin Heffernan, and Eric Stolhanske most well known for the roles as Rod Farva and Rabbit, respectively in Super Troopers.






These dudes were about as cool as you could ever hope movie stars to be, they just wanted to chill and have a good time with us. They were more than willing to answer everybody's questions and talk about whatever. Despite the fact that stupid assholes repeatedly yelled out "hey Farva, team ram rod yeahhhhh" or "hey rabbit you rookie biatch" they were cool to everyone. They were more than willing to get pictures (as you can see) with anyone who asked. If you get the chance to catch up with these guys as they continue to promote beerfest i highly recommend you go see it, you can see the schedule on the broken lizard website.

I also highly recommend their movies: Puddle Cruiser, Super Troopers, Club Dread, and Beerfest which comes out August 25. Check em out guys and girls!

Scotty Doesn't Know

Beer Pong explained...


have you ever been playing beer pong and wondered what the official rules and proper procedures are for this wonderful game? If so you're most likely a huge dork, or just way too blasted. Well an extensive description of this highly constructive activity is described on none other than wikipedia. Tomorrow I will be partying with three of the dudes from broken lizard (best known as Thorny, Rod Farva, and Rabbit) and playing beer pong with them as they tour the country promoting their new movie beerfest. Hopefully i'll have some decent photos to post later. For now study up on these rules, because school is almost back in session!

website of the week...

the 100 greatest guitar players of all time as decided by Rolling Stone Magazine

Top 100

I recently had the pleasure of watching #17 from eleven rows back and it blew my mind, I will be going to see #75 in a month in a half.

So lets say you...

are in a bar and you see this good lookin' girl and she's with some dude

but, the dude is wearing a visor! It is proper etiquette for you to approach the girl and ask her if she's aware of the fact that her boy is wearing a visor. If the girl responds by saying "yeah so what," then you must ask: "is he aware that he's wearing a visor?" After all, this is 2006 not the douche bag's sophomore year of high school. Sure the guy might say "hey man leave her alone" but you know at this point you own the sorry excuse for a dude. You might even have the other girl's friend tell you that you're rude, but she probably has STD's so it's not a big deal. In extreme cases the dude will flip you off from the passenger seat of his girl's SUV when they drive off, because he's not wearing the pants in the relationship (he instead elected to wear the visor). Either way you have crushed this visor-wearing tool's spirits and you can be sure that when his good looking girlfriend goes over to his house the next morning to make him make her breakfast she'll be surprised when the first thing she sees are his feet swinging from the doorway. That's when you offer a shoulder for her to cry on, and say something along the lines of "well, he did wear a visor, he kind of had it coming." And she realizes that the world is now a better place with out this fruit bag, and proceeds to have over one thousand of your babies. Success...

This is a rockin clip of them performing on one of the greatest shows of all time, Late Night with Conan O'Brien

chemistry is great

A simple bomb can be made with some dry ice, a pop bottle, and some water. Pour in some dry ice, a little water, screw on the cap, and step back. It's impressive how loud this is. I found a video to demonstrate.

don't watch Arrested Development!

This may be one of the most brilliantly written comedys of all time. I am a huge fan and so is everyone i've exposed to this show. I would highly recommend you go out and purchase seasons one and two (season three will be coming soon) and watch them all in order. The premise of the show is a dysfunctional family is kept together by one of the sons, Michael Bluth. My personal favorites are GOB and Buster Bluth. If you watch this and don't love it, you're most likely a terrorist.
