Tee Shirt Soup

In the meantime, I figured I would use a couple posts a month to highlight some online stuff that kind of flew into my radar. Maybe it’s a new blog I “discovered,” or a podcast, a twitter account, a video maker, a comic, a musician. Whatever. I may highlight someone who already enjoys some modicum of celebrity, but more often not.

Viral videos spawn viral rumors.  According to the guaranteed 73% accurate Wikipedia, Dan Deacon recorded the audio track (the animation was added later by Liam Lynch) from the attached video as part of a school project.  A native of New York’s Long Island (pronounced Lawn Guyland), Deacon made use of an over-the-top L.I. accent, and described [...]

About a month or so ago, I posted a not so flattering article about the state of “Philly Fan.”  Well, way to go Mets fan!  I knew I could count on you. I love how the kid looks in his glove to see what happened. Unbelievable. Now, here’s an example of how a father and baseball [...]

Hollywood legend, Dennis Hopper died today in his Venice, California home. This couldn’t have happened at a worse time for me, as I am still mourning the fact that I will never get to see Bruce Willis and Gary Coleman star in What’chu Talkin’ ’bout Willis? the buddy cop film I wrote the screenplay for, which Kevin [...]

If I ever get into a medieval style battle with a dead pig, five pieces of cardboard wearing chain mail, a water-filled steel barrel, a raw chicken, four inches of rope, a stalk of bamboo, balsa wood bunnies, or any unarmed inanimate object, I totally hope I am armed with a Cold Steel Two-Handed Great [...]

We all know I’m funny, but what about you guys. Here’s your chance to shine. There’s no prize or anything. I just want to see who can come up with the funniest comment on this video here: I’ll get the comment ball rolling: Forget the banana, this kid’s gonna be singing into penises inside of [...]

With spring right around the corner, and the kids itching to get out and play, I am thankful for all of the Youth Sports options available today.  But I fear that the coaches, despite their best efforts, have a difficult time competing with the highlight reels on ESPN, when trying to teach our kids “the [...]

… but as more of a punishment, really. Share (‘’)

  If you are looking for inspiring moments in sports like the USA Olympic Hockey Team beating the Russians, or Tug McGraw recording the last out in the 1980 World Series, or Rocky Balboa defeating Apollo Creed (or Clubber Lang, or Thunderlips, or Ivan Drago, or Tommy Gunn) you might want to look elsewhere.  But [...]

RANDOM GUY:  Hey I want you to meet someone.  He can sing, dance, he’s a really good golfer, can bang just about any girl he wants to, and he’s funny as shit. ME: Sounds like a dick. I hate him already. RANDOM GUY: It’s Justin Timberlake. ME: Justin Timberlake? Why didn’t you say so? I [...]

My spider senses are tingling. Why do I get the impression that this is not the first unwanted pink dangly thing that has been pushed in this girl’s face? I assume she’s screaming so blood-curdlingly because she doesn’t understand why it’s not still attached to her uncle (the one with the razor stubble and Jack [...]

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

I was such a huge Kiss fan when I was growing up, so much so I remember exactly where I was when I settled in with a bowl of Jiffy Pop popcorn to watch Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park in 1978. I also remember thinking it was just about the coolest movie I [...]

Once I got past the sheer hilarity of the seriousness with which he imparts his advice, and the absurdity with which he throws, I was left with an empty feeling in my stomach. Kige doesn’t have anybody to throw to. He’s gotta turn off the camera, then go chase after the ball he just threw. [...]
