Kids Hate to Read These Days

featured on Jimmy Fallon tonight



I hope you didn't buy a kid books for Christmas this year!

The Original "Boom Goes the Dynamite"

Most people have seen the Ball State student newscast from a few years ago that quickly spiraled downhill and is known by many people as one of the worst sportscasts ever. It did, however, coin the catchphrase "boom goes the dynamite." 15 years ago in Quincy, Illinois another sportscast at a local TV station went from bad to worse to absolute hilarity. The 15th anniversary of the telecast was yesterday and the Quincy newspaper wrote a bit about that infamous day in Quincy TV history.

Not your Everyday Tailgate

The action inside the Rose Bowl during the USC-UCLA game this past weekend paled in comparison to the craziness during tailgating. A flag football game nearly turned deadly when a football bounced into a parked Mercedes and a brawl erupted. Reports say that 50-75 people were involved and 2 guys got stabbed and one man was arrested on attempted murder charges. I haven't seen fans that intense all year and this was 3 hours before the game!

Today a clip surfaced of a granny "gettin' her groove freak on" during tailgaiting festivities. Someone, please tell me there was alcohol involved. The clip is safe for work but not safe for your eyes. You'll never be able to see someone wearing a maroon track suit the same. I can't imagine being her children or grandchildren seeing your grandmother backin' her thang up.

The Real MacGruber

I used to love MacGyver when I was younger, but I never realized he had such a super mullet. I want to find a way to watch some old episodes to see if they were actually any good or just something I remember to be much better than it really is (like SpaghettiOs).

Anyway I came across some of great MacGyver pictures on Google images.

Why Not...

So I'm now 30. It's been a year since I have blogged. Most of my contribution to the internetz is on twitter, but I have always liked more of the options of a blog. So who knows maybe I'll start posting more. Rumor has it that @jhawkgray might even start blogging or tumblring soon.

Monday Night Football was in New England last night and it was cold and breezy. The Don was there along with his hair and one of them got a little riled up when a sudden updraft of air rushed into the luxury sweets.



I've never fully taken advantage of some of the goodies that Hulu has to offer but I came upon a cool series of videos from AV Underground where they have 25 bands cover 25 songs on a first come first served basis. Nashville's own Ben Folds has a great cover of Elliott Smith but my favorite so far is Coheed and Cambria covering The Smiths.
