ONE hit wonder? NO!

Um, remember this guy?



Well, he's still alive! And he made an album! And has a MySpace page! May I reintroduce Ethan Chandler!

Ethan describes his music as "singer/songwriter pop driven by pure and honest emotion that is exceptionally unique." His profile page also says "Finding you must start today." So with that direction, I encourage all to find Ethan... today. http://www.myspace.com/ezchandler

Move Over Single Baby, Big Baby Here to Eat You


Talk about a short lived 15 minutes of fame. "It" baby of the week loses his fame to a 19.2 lb newborn. Glen Davis' reaction:

Analogy Wednesday

He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.

McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.

They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan’s teeth.

C'mon Dude. Really?



"According to The Journal, a 19-year-old Pennsylvania man was arraigned earlier this week on a charge of felony daytime robbery. How did police catch him? Simple: the burglar left a trail, by way of checking his Facebook account before leaving the house with two diamond rings and forgetting to log out.

Jonathan Parker remains in custody on $10,000 bail, facing a maximum 10 year prison sentence if convicted. A friend of the defendant said Parker had asked him for help breaking into the victim’s house the previous night, so things are not looking too good for the perp."

Really Jonathan? Couldn't wait til you got back from the pawn shop to see Kelly's birthday photos or check Julie's relationship status? Stupid people shouldn't commit crimes.

Set the DVR - Saget's Coming Back to AFV


Bob Saget will shift from the pot-loving, sex addict he portrays in real life... I mean Entourage, and go back to his Danny Tanner ways for a one-week engagement to celebrate the 20th anniversary of AFV.

Current host Tom Bergeron will co-host the episode with Saget. Taping will take place next month.

Nothing like some AFV to start the day. Pull out a tooth here

80s Video Friday: Can't Fight This Feeling



I'm posting this to celebrate the collective man-gasm that will boil over this weekend as the first Sunday of the NFL season arrives. FUCK. YES. That kind of emotion is summed up best by REO Speedwagon.

During the opening vocals, doesn't Kevin Cronin look like Peggy Olsen from Mad Men?

80s Video Friday: New England, The Patriots and We



Preseason football is finally over (thank God and did you see Matthew Slater's arm last night? BLEGH!). To celebrate the return of the Pats, I dug up this little ditty.

A few questions and comments that tickled my brain-mush as I watched this:

The stuffed bear hostage cracks me up every time.

"The Patriots and we"?? Who wrote that line? It sounds like olde English. "The Patriots and me" didn't sound better?

I like how they get all of the lyrics out of the way upfront then just play the "NEW ENGLAND! THE PATRIOTS AND WE!" chorus with random shots of overexcited massholes for the remainder of the song.

That guy on the left at the 1:58 mark is waaaay to into this. Relax dude.

Why are all of the players wearing MTV hats?

Has Mike Lynch aged at all in the past 23 years?

If you watched that entire video, good luck getting that song out of your head for the next three days.

Happy Labor Day!

Friggin' Swedes



First IKEA, now this. Brilliant.

It's so spot on, it sounds exactly like any of the music you'd hear after finishing a game back in the day.
