Boy throws taco at mom over Xbox

January
18

I think Florida has hit the jackpot with stupidly awesome criminals. First, there was news about police in Palm Beach County looking for a fat guy robbing ATMs in a ninja outfit.

Now we got news out of Orlando in what could be the most stupidly awesome case of domestic violence ever.

A woman named Dena Moir [...]

Awesome Mario Bros. puppet show

January
12

Nothing makes my beard tingle with joy like a theatrical tribute to Mario Bros.

This Japanese video uses cardboard cutouts and black backdrops to re-enact some classic levels in the game. Barack Obama even makes a cameo in the production.

Ninjas and Pirates son!

January
12

This past weekend was chock-full of stupidly awesome criminals.

Get this, the Palm Beach County sheriff’s office is looking for a fat guy wearing a ninja outfit that was seen trying to steal two ATM machines last week.

Picture a guy with a ninja mask, wearing a super tight sweatshirt with his gut hanging out and black [...]

Why I’m proud I beat an 11-year-old

January
8

Many of my co-workers have been laughing at me for being harassed and bullied these past few weeks by this random 11-year-old kid in Arizona.  Allow me to explain.

Last November, I was nationally ranked at #13 on Xbox Live in the video game Virtua Fighter 5. But then, an 11-year-old kid named Tyler beat me. [...]

Orange Juice is out of control

January
6

I’m a taxpayer that likes to talk about the issues facing this country. The biggest threat facing our country right now, let’s be honest, is Tropicana Orange Juice.

Remember the good old days? Tropicana came in “Pulp” and “No Pulp.”

But have you been to the grocery store lately? Holy Shiites of the Caribbean!

Now they have Pulp, [...]

The most gangster UPS delivery ever

January
5

Speedy delivery!

Check out the video of this UPS delivery guy. Apparently he didn’t feel like taking the walk across this person’s driveway to drop off the package, so he chucked it at their house from like 30 feet away hahahahha.

This would have been even more funny if the guy signed for the package by throwing [...]

I hate the ‘Duck Hunt’ doggie

December
23

Remember the game Duck Hunt for the 8-bit Nintendo? Nothing made me more mad than the doggie in the game, which would jump out of a bush and laugh hysterically every time I missed a duck.

Here I am busting my butt off shooting down these ducks and the freeloading doggie comes storming through stealing them [...]

Despicable.

A man this week pled guilty in a Colorado district court for the murder of a 7-year-old child.

According to the Rocky Mountain News, Lamar Roberts, 18, was babysitting the child with his girlfriend Heather Trujillo, 17, and slammed the child “to the floor during an imitation of the ‘Mortal Kombat’ video game.”

I won’t waste [...]

Palisades theatre selling tix with Bluetooth

December
15

This one comes from Germain Lussier, a friend of the blog and writer for our sworn enemy the Times Herald-Record.

Apparently if you visit the IMAX theatre at the Palisades Center in West Nyack, you can download a 30 second clip from the upcoming movie Watchmen using a Bluetooth connection.

Hmm, I can’t figure out if that [...]

MC Hammer in a video game?

December
15

Oh snap, I’m breakin news son!

If you haven’t had a chance to start reading some celebrity Twitter feeds, you’re totally missing out. Shaquille O’Neal’s Twitter feed is hands down the best one.

(Oh, if you don’t know what Twitter is, you’re probably 85 and too drugged up on Metamucil for me to explain it to you).

Anywho, [...]
