LOST without Football
For months and months I’ve been suffering from some serious withdrawal. No, sorry, not drugs. That’s not really my thing. (Alcohol on the other hand, is a wonderful friend.) I’m talking about the NFL. When the end of January comes each year, I’m both excited as the Superbowl nears, but also sad that yet another season is over. And then the long cold winter days and nights practically mock me with their lack of footballness. Even playing Madden on my Xbox 360 just doesn’t cut it.
But my pangs of emptiness ended last night with the start of yet another NFL season. Thankfully, the Steelers still have a shot at making it somewhere this year. And with Brett Favre now on the Jets, the Giants looking for a repeat and the evil empire known as the Patriots showing they most certainly can be beaten, this season should be nothing short of awesome.
So who’s going to win this year? Which are the teams to beat and which are the ones certain for defeat? Hell if I know. But the guys over at 18 to 88 have put together the best Predicted NFL Standings for 2008 . Not only did they rank their predictions, but they compared each NFL team to a different character from the TV show LOST. My favorite description is a toss-up between Miami and Washington.
Props go out to my former Monday Night Football buddy Rob, who abandoned me for cheaper beer and a cat named Lennie Briscoe.

I’m a bad man. And this is hilarious.
I have a new favorite site. It’s called EngrishFunny. And yes it makes fun of people who can’t speak English very well. And yes, I know that’s wrong. But it’s also damn hysterical. And I can’t thank my buddy Robin enough for sharing this site with me. So blame her. She’s the bad one.
Here are a few of my favorite photos from there, but please do check out the site itself. Trust me, you will find surprise there make happy you.
Is it just me or does this sound like a “Cat House” for dogs…
Um. Yeah. I’m guessing they sell a lot of these in Vegas…
Always good advice.
Everybody wins with Happy Balls…
More happy bad horrible funny photos at EngrishFunny.

I’m Alive. Here’s a cupcake.
Yes I suck. I’ve become one of “those” bloggers that just get too wrapped up in that thing called life (not to mention losing motivation when you’re juggling work with 3 blogs to try to keep up with).
So, my apologies. I’m still here. I still have lots to share and blog about and probably will sporadically. And I promise, they won’t ALL be about food or cupcakes. Heh. But, well, this one is. So to make it up to you, here are some adorable and delicious looking Garfield cupcakes from the highly talented Bakerella. Now how about some Lasagna-looking cupcakes to keep the kitty happy?
Lots more pics on Bakerella’s flickr page.

Why you shouldn’t eat with your eyes
This is too awesome not to post about.
Guy makes a cake for his family. Looks real tasty right?
Turns out, it’s dinner, not dessert. That “frosting” is mashed potatoes. And the insides aren’t chocolate cake, but turkey meat loaf. So yeah, it’s not cake, but meatloaf cake. On its own, that actually sounds pretty good. Thinking it’s real cake and biting into meatloaf is the opposite of pretty good.
I don’t know how true this is or not (seeing as how there’s next to no other content on the site itself and it seems to be just there to collect e-mail addresses…), but that photo alone is worth the price of admission.

Hellboy in the Actors Studio
I recently saw Hellboy movie on DVD and really enjoyed it. I’ve always loved the character, just never ever could get into the comics themselves. But the movie was great and I’m pumped for the sequel that starts next week. Seems they’re really having fun with the character and the movie, whoring it out in every possible promo way. Like this clip:

Invade My Space
GeekCrafts.com posted 9 examples of Geeky Cross Stitch and they’re all awesome. Though this Space Invaders cross-stitch is just too damn cool. It’s geekery that you can actually display in our house without having to hide it from your parents when they come over for a visit.
It was created by Cross-stitch ninja who is my new hero after seeing this and the brilliant knitted poo she made!

Patton Oswalt thinks I’m gay
I’ll admit it. I love super cheesy ’80s heavy metal. And yeah, I love the even cheesier videos that went along with them. Big hair. Big guitars. Big explosions. Though, as comedian Patton Oswalt puts it, they’re made up of groups of guys with no shirts on that are usually “rocking out in a factory that apparently only makes sparks.” He’s pretty dead on.
(Props to my non-metal friend Brian)

I’m 18 again! Twice actually.
Yeah, so like today’s my birthday and I just turned 36. Which thanks to Mr. Capadonna’s math class, I believe is two times 18. So songs like Skid Row’s “18 and Life” now take on a whole new meaning. I think.
A big thanks to my blog buddy Tish for not just wishing me a Happy Birthday, but baking me a virtual Mario Birthday cake that looks pretty damn tasty.
Since it’s my birthday, I deserve some presents. But I’m not heartless, so I’ll be nice and rattle off a short list of 10 things you can get me that’ll instantly bump you up to best friend status.
- Kenner’s Star Wars AT-AT vehicle. Notice I said Kenner’s, not Hasbro’s. That’s for you super nerds out there that know I’m talking about the ORIGINAL awesome AT-AT toy from the ’80s. Not the almost as cool one from recent years.
- A life-size sushi bar complete with 24-hour sushi chef at my disposal.
- A full-size original arcade machine. I’ll let you choose from any of these ’80s classics: Qbert, Sprint (the good one with 3 racing wheels), Donkey Kong or Karate Champ.
- Captain America Comics #1. In as close to mint condition as possible. Fine, I’ll settle for #2.
- A working ED-209 robot from RoboCop. Make sure the safety chip works though.
- A bag of 3-D Doritos, dammit! Bring those awesome chips back, Frito-Lays!!!
- A jetpack.
- Lunch with Mr. T. I’m guessing a burger place would probably be appropriate. Though White Castle with the T would be pretty damn intense I imagine.
- The full scripts to the next two years’ worth of episodes from LOST. And no, you can’t read them first.
- A fully functional time machine. No Dolorean necessary. Heck, if that’s too expensive, a basic cloning mechanism would be an acceptable alternative, providing it works on humans.
Anyone sending socks or underwear will immediately move to the back of the classroom. Oh, and I’m a size large in Trans Ams.

Condoms are funny
No, this isn’t going to be a post about Howie Mandell blowing up a glove or condom on his head. (Did he ever use a condom or just a latex glove? I can’t remember.) I just literally stumbled upon the online portfolio for ad genius Guillermo Vega. What caught my eye and made me literally laugh out loud were his sets of print advertising for Tulipan condoms. He definitely gets his point across without even showing an ounce of skin.
Talk about getting boned…
Loads more photos on his site. So hop (sorry) to it!

Metallica’s Finally Good Again
Yes, I’m one of those metal heads who love the early Metallica albums all the way up to “And Justice For All…” Great stuff all around. Heck, even the follow-up Black album was okay, despite it’s way more poppy and radio-friendly style. But that’s where my taste for Metallica ended. And geez, what’s that like 15 years since it came out?
Anyways, my buddy Ethan just showed me this video of a German group called Van Canto who do…. no snickering please… an A capella version of their song Battery. They do use drums, but other then that, this group is purely made up of five singers. And it’s pretty damn impressive I’ve got to say. Even if you’re not a fan of Metallica, you should give this a listen. It starts off real slow, but give it a little bit and it’ll really take off.
