OK...now I'm LOST..


I really hate myself right now! I decided to take matters into my own hands and get caught up on season four of LOST prior to this weeks new episode....

Only one tiny problem...this weeks episode isn't new! Now I have to wait a full eleven days until the goodness returns.

On the bright side I can now have a conversation about the show with people who have recently decided that they weren't going to talk LOST until I was up-to-date!

To this point of the season I have a few observation: Everything cool about almost everything can, in one form or another, trace back to LOST.

Case in point...Nash Bridges!

Now you may be asking yourself how does a bad (ass) late 90's cop drama connect to LOST...well the answer is two fold. First, and most obviously, is Cheech Marin! Who starred with Don Johnon on Nash Bridges, and had a guest star turn as Hurley's dad....

Second, and more impressivly, is Carlton Cuse, who was a writter and executive producer on both shows! That's right...one of the brilliant minds behind LOST is also one of the Brilliant minds behind Nash Bridges ... Gotta love that!

Point Two...LOST and Air Force One (and Nash Bridges)

Andrew Divoff....he's been playing movie badasses for a long time and I can't help of think that if they feel the need to extend the Die Hard franchise he would be a perfect fit...oh and did I mention he is going to be in the new Indiana Jones movie?

Point Three -- every other fantastic Guest Star...just a few of my favorites:

Zoe Bell -- Small part so far...but she kicked total ass in Death Proof
Billy Dee Williams -- again very small part...but he was playing Billy Dee "Freakin" Williams
Nathan Fillion -- Buffy, Firefly and LOST...my new hero!
Sonya Walger -- Who I first fell in love with while watching Librarian: Quest for the Spear, and I even like her in the American version of Coupling (Abomination that it was)
Jon Gries -- I still want to see The Pretender back on TV in reruns (so I don't have to buy yet another TV series!)
Jeff Fahey -- Enough bad movies to choke a horse (and Nash Bridges too)

Great writing, great acting, and an agonizing Title sequence...Grrr...the good news is that NBC has added an extra Hour to the seson finale. Story

TV's Longest 12 Seconds

Lost's opening title sequence has to be the longest 12 seconds in television!

Watching the DVD's I can't help but fast forward at this point....it's just slows down the viewing TOO much.

On the bright side...after tonight I will be able to start season four on Sunday and should be up-to-date when the next new episode hits!

D-Bag of the Week...


For this weeks winner we have to revist a story from earlier this year....that story is the death of Heath Ledger.

Back in February the "drug video" hit the internet, after several networks were pressured into not running it. That move, in my opinion did more harm than good.

The rumors were rampant: "Huge Hollywood Drug Party" was thrown around as a headline. Quotes out of context...oh and the fact that the video was shot from outside a slightly open window always seemed rather strange to me.

Well, now TMZ is reporting that there is about to be a lawsuit over the video...from the girl who is IN the video. Not surehow that is going to work.

So this weeks award goes to the jackass' involved in the scheme...who get extra Douche Points for waiting until after Heath was dead to release the video! Great job guys!

Practical Joke...

Nothing says fun like a little hazing on a professional level. See what happens when the ENTIRE Philadelphia Philly's organization is in on the joke. Telling third year pitcher Kyle Kendrick that he had been traded to Japan! Pay close attention to the end after Brett Meyers breaks the news to him that it's a joke...listen to who he was "traded" for.....

Relapse..

Dear Island Gods....

Please forgive me it, it has been a month since my last LOST viewing! I promise to never wait that long again (unless there are no new episodes to be had!).

Ok, so I am now eight episodes into season three....and I am still very confused! Atleast now I have, what I think, is a good handle on the Polar Bear problem. But, still...freaky stuff!

Oh, and can I say that I LOVE Elizabeth Mitchell? Is that ok?

Now sadly I am back to having to block out six hours a night to be able to Catch up!...

Only four more discs for season three then it's on to the DVR for this season.

Just For Laughs Pt. 2

Just For Laughs Pt. 1

Dylan Moran....

D-Bag of the Week



Why should the guys have all the fun? I finally found a "winner" from the fairer sex!

It may be a few days late...but this weeks winner of the Blog This D-Bag of the week is....

Amber Lynn Goff

To Quote CNN.COM, "The former prison guard romantically involved with one of the two inmates she helped escape pleaded guilty Friday to a federal firearms charge, telling relatives she now realizes she was used."

But that wasn't the best line...that is reserved for her mom.

"She also feels like one of the world's greatest fools,"

NO!!!! Really?

Holy Crap...

I'm not sure if the word Crap does this trailer justice!

Mad World...

Found this story as a link on CNN.com.

The quick overview is that a bunch of 3rd graders got pissed at their teacher...and brought a knife, duct tape, handcuffs, and a heavy crystal paperweight to school to "hurt" the teacher.

But, it seems that some parents think it was more than likely they wanted to kill the teacher!

WTF?! Seriously...WTF?!

Both my parents are teachers and I always thought that if one of them was going to be attacked at school it would be my father the High School English Teacher...I didn't even think that my Mom, Third Grade Teacher, would even have to worry about shit like this.

As licensed mental health counselor Audrey Dearborn said in the article, "Before you would see these types of behavior in high school. Now, we've skipped the middle school and gone right to the third grade"

I want to be honest, that scares the hell out of me. Thank god I don't have any kids!

D-Bag of the Week...Pt. 2


Allen Beckett...your time as D-Bag of the week is over. It's been a good run (of a day) but sadly a recount was held and you lost.

You will get to keep your (non-existant) award and a * will appear by your name on the list of past winners...but the official title will pass to another.

For the first time we have a repeat winner!!!
I am excited to announce that, for the second week in a row, Kory McFarren is my Douche Bag of the week.

Apparently Kory felt the need to revisit some of his new friends in law enforcement. Not having the time to let another woman have her ass grow around a toilet seat Kory decided to jump right to lewd and lascivious behavior.

The Associated Press is reporting that McFarren, "allegedly exposed himself to a neighbor's teenage daughter and her friends."

Congrats on picking up the Silver Douche award...one more and you get to have the award cast in Gold!

I Have a DREAM...


Well maybe not a dream so much...but I do have spell check!

D-Bag of the Week!



This week I only had to read a few articles before I came across a guy who I felt was worthy of taking home the grand prize.



Never before have I even considered a member of any church for this award. But, times they are a changing.

Now before you think you know who I am talking about....you probably don't.

As a guy it should be painfully obvious why Allen Beckett, Church Deacon, from Oklahoma City picked up the award....HERE

I realize that he is a Church Deacon..but at some point in his 53 years on this Earth someone must have told him that there are things you just don't do during a fight...FOR ANY REASON!
