There’s a new show on myNetworkTV, or at least we just newly discovered it. It’s called Jail. All it is is snippets of people being booked into, well, jail. Usually these folks are the kind of people you may have just seen on Cops getting scooped up. It’s a pretty enlightening show, and you see …

The Attrocities of Uncle Junior, And I’m Not Talking About the Sopranos
YouTube is great! That’s all I can say. Why? Because they have a video of Dominic Chianese massacring the anthems, complete with Joe Bowen’s commentary. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! So, enjoy, if you dare.
For The Land Of The Flat, And The Home Of The Tone-Deaf
Holy crap, I’m writing a hockey post. No, steve didn’t hack into my account and write this one. Well, I lied, it’s not really about hockey. It’s about the caterwauling of the national anthems that came before the December 6th game between the Leafs and the Rangers. To summarize, good god it was horrible. It …

Love And Marriage…And Plugs And Whining
Well, long time, no chat. I’d apologize for not being around a whole lot over the last little while, but to be honest, I doubt any of you really missed me all that much if you missed me at all. So where have I been? Well for starters, my sleep has gone to hell in …
Wayne, I Wanna Lockjaw Those Contestants!
Fox has come up with this new Gameshow called Don’t Forget the Lyrics. The concept is a fine idea. It’s like karaoke and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire mixed together. The contestant picks a song, and the words appear on the screen, and the contestant sings along. But at some point, the band stops …

For Your Listening Pleasure
I don’t know how the site has survived for so long without getting busted for some kind of stupidity by the film industry, but hey, more power to ’em. There is a site called ListenToAMovie.com. What amazes me is that sighties actually like this site! They want to listen to movies at work and while …
It Really Is An Idiot Box, Isn’t It?
Ok, I tried to write this post four months ago, and my computer made a meal out of it. Let’s try again. Hopefully I can still make the same points just as clearly. I must be getting old because it’s getting harder to suspend disbelief and just swallow the plots of some stuff on TV. …
Why Is It…
Yes I’m stealing something from Steve, but I figured it was the only way this would work. I’ve had a lot of things make me wonder why, so here they are in no particular order. Why is it that the people in a lot of pet stores can’t even manage to have basic social skills? …
The War Of The Moral Compass And the Golden Compass
Why does this thing I read in Snopes demand to be put up? It doesn’t surprise me, not in the least, but every time the logical part of me says it doesn’t need to be talked about, another part of me screams that it does. There’s apparently a movie coming out in December called the …

Which Is Worse? Plane Crashes Or Confidence Crashes?
Ok, let me get this straight. NASA is commissioned to do a survey about air-travel safety. They survey 24000 pilots over 4 years. they find out that incidents of near collisions and runway interference is much higher than government statistics, so…they decide to withhold the results and purge them? Apparently, they just don’t want us …
