Misquoted

Few things are as “funny” as poor use of “quotation marks.” Why is this such a problem? Isn’t it universally understood that quotes make a word suspicious? The addition of quotation marks effectively negates the meaning of the word! “New” means “old”, “no” means “yes”, “nice” means “lousy”, and “please” means […]

M-Audio Firewire Solo Doesn’t Work

I bought this in the hopes that I could easily record my guitar and a second instrument simultaneously. My hopes were dashed rather quickly.
The drivers are awful, and the set up instructions are negligible. This is an entry level device, and while I pride myself on being able to figure anything […]

Gawker’d!

Gawker had a pretty bad case of blogorrhea yesterday, if they had to link to my site (It’s Jelliffe with two f’s by the way). That happens to me too when I drink too much coffee.
I only wish the girl in the picture would send me an outraged email or soemthing, so I can […]

Boy, You’re Going to Juggle That Weight

This guy does a juggling routine set to The Beatles’ Abbey Road long medley. Can’t imagine paying money to go see someone do that on stage, maybe at a high school talent show, but it’s for free online, so there you go.

Crack Kills

Why would someone do this to themselves?

Low rise jeans and backless shirts are like Tylenol and alcohol: Do not mix! She’d be more modest wrapped in a towel coming out of the shower.
This was the Crocodile Lounge, people! Not some club where someone’s going to douse you in Cristal and whisk […]

We Got Motherfuckin’ Snakes!

Since the dawn of time, man has been afraid of two things: flying and snakes. Snakes on a Plane aims to plumb the depths of both phobias, and become box office poison more venomous than the Copperheads on board. Actually, this movie is shaping up to be so bad, that it’ll be phenomenal. […]

Why, WHY Was I Programmed to Feel Pain?

This takes me back to my jr. high days, where countless hours were spent posing a bendable pink panther. What mightyjc with his Spidey though is much more, how you say, ah yes, high brow.

St. Ides of March 2006

I’m making this a tradition. Every year, on the Ides of March, I will remind everyone I made a hilarious commercial parody for malt liquor with my buddy Bahman, whose birthday happens to be this very day.
So grab some pop corn, invite over some loved ones, and enjoy.

So So Sopranos

I finally saw an episode of the Sopranos last night, and I have to wonder just what everybody is so nuts about. I’m just glad I wasn’t building up my expectations for 2 years before seeing that hour of “drama.” HBO must be content with their cadre of loyal viewers and don’t care […]

My Highest Possible Recommendation

I cried all night when I heard Arrested Development was being canceled, and I don’t even own a TV. Apparently less people watched the show than read this blog. Which is why I just bought Arrested Development Season 1 and Season 2.
I had been simply downloading the episodes off bit torrent, […]
