SNL and Andy Samberg are back at it again, this time along with host Peter Sarsgaard (Sponsor of the Peter Sarsgaard SARS Gaurd)... a digital short about the "Young Chuck Norris." Not quite as funny as the Chronic What-cles of Narnia, but good none-the-less. Is Andy Samberg the next big thing to come out of SNL? It seems, in his first year, he's getting a lot of ...

So, living in Los Angeles for 5 years spoiled me to the luxury have having fresh sushi. I've been nervous as hell about trying it in Wisconsin... I mean, it's like 2,000 miles to the ocean! Can you really expect them to get the fish that far in a reasonable amount of time so that it stays fresh?? I didn't ask. So, it was off to Ginza of ...

-cles of Narnia! I swear this was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen on SNL. Newbie Andy Samberg and veteran Chris Parnell show off their hip-hop skills with this original song called "Lazy Sunday" - about an afternoon going to see The Chronicals of Narnia. NOTICE: I used to have this video on my site, but NBC has forced YouTube.com to pull the Lazy Sunday video offline. ...

No, I'm not talking about the spot that's a mystery to all guys but me, ;) I'm talking about the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz, CA. "The Mystery Spot, for decades one of Santa Cruz's most alluring tourist sites, bills itself as a place where the laws of physics and gravity cease to exist." This article is really amazing... http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/local/13538046.htm To any of my California friends, it looks ...

Every so often on Late Night With Conan O'Brien, "Hannigan the Traveling Salesman" shows up between guests and I can't stop laughing. The character is played by Brian Stack who also does the ghost of 20's crooner Artie Kendall, Frankenstein, and the lips of Martha Stewart, among others. The guy is hilarious. BUT I've been searching web pages for 45 mintues now and haven't been able to come up with ...

Saturday was an early Badger game... 12 noon. My brother, Derek, finally made it down for a game! It was good to see him. I still have trouble figuring out how it got so smart. Very factually smart - like how many litres to a ton kind of smart. Do tons break down into litres? I don't know... he would though. So, the ...

It's a sad day today. I found out today that Alias will be finished in May, at the conclusion of their 5th season. I know that some people don't get the fact that a person can be so attached to a TV show. But I really was. For 4 and a half years, I haven't missed one episode and have been emotionally drawn into the characters almost like I ...

The anticipation of Thanksgiving weekend was high this year. I had taken an extra day off of work, was driving up to Chippewa to my mom's, coming back to Madison for another dinner on Friday, then had a couple of days to relax... I ended up sick Tuesday night, the night before I was to leave. It's Sunday night as I write this and I'm just getting over ...

"Supernatural" debuted on the WB last week starring Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. These two play brothers who take on their absent-dad's obsession with defeating supernatural "creatures." Some say it's like a ghostly version of the Hardy Boys... I think of it as almost X-Files like... they seem to take "fact-based" accounts of actual creatures, create a story around them, then have the boys defeat whatever it is. ...

Did you know the word "licorice" appears zero times on a bag of Twizzlers? I'm not sure what that means, but what it DOESN'T mean is that Twizzlers is licorice. What ever happened to the old Switzer's Licorice? They had bites and ropes too... but it was actual licorice. I know Hersey's bought them - but it was probably to put them out of business. ...
