Actual spam I received: Where do I begin? I saw posters today for a new Where's Waldo? book, the first since 1997. Next year, the original Where's Waldo? book will celebrate its 20th anniversary. God, I feel old. I never did find the book in…

I am Pagliacci
I want whatever Bowflex Vinnie Jones owns. Action figure results in as little as six weeks… I can't complain too much about Ratner's interpretation of Juggernaut though, especially after Schumacher's Bane: Nachoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! The actress who plays Kitty Pryde also played Mr. Lahey's daughter Treena in…
Fig Jam
Edmonton hockey fans create beer emergency Oilers fans had previously made headlines for disturbances on Whyte Avenue. People have been stabbed, assaulted, and stores have been vandalized. Stabbed? With what? Stabbings are usually methodical. Fans just had knives on hand? Unless… Snikt!1 Thoughts on X-Men:…

Exploding Scrotum
MC Chris leaked a demo for his Dungeon Master OC LP in which he rhymes over "Seventeen Years" by Ratatat. The mastered recording will feature an original instrumental, so download the mash-up while you can.
The charisma of foreskin
Last summer was deemed the "summer of penguins." This summer looks to be (to my dismay) the summer of cars. On June 5, Fast Inc. premieres on MTV. The series "revolves around a team of 'car hunters' who field celebrity requests for vintage and muscle…
Taking random pictures of the sky
I recently finished reading Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson and, reluctant to start another book until after my move back to California, I've been passing time with my flatmates' back issues of Blender. I know, I know… But Parade costs money! Nowhere is Blender's shoddy journalism…
Oh Happy Day
J.J. Redick is going to be working out for the Golden State Warriors soon. [source] Up to now, the Warriors have merely been my NBA team by default, but I will buy season tickets if they draft Redick.
