A Barometer Of How I Feel Right Now

There is no worse feeling than leaving a comment on someone's site and finding out a few days later that they DIDN'T approve your comment. It was also one of those meme's where you answer someone's questions. I put a lot of effort into that comment and was very kind and supportive. All I feel now is bad and embarrassed.

This Is Such A BAAAAAD Idea

I, For One, Etc. of the Day: According to Dr. Sue Savage-Rumbaug of the Great Ape Trust in Des Moines, Kanzi, a 31-year-old bonobo in her care, became fascinated with making fire after watching the film Quest for Fire when he was only a year old.

“The movie was released about a year after Kanzi was born and was about early man struggling to control fire,” says Dr. Savage-Rumbaugh. “Kanzi watched this spellbound over and over hundreds of times.”

The chimp soon began collecting firewood and attempting to ignite it. “His demeanour when he focused on making fire was just like when he watched the movie,” says the doctor, who has clearly not watched enough movies herself to know this couldn’t possibly end well.

In addition to his fire-making skills, Kanzi can also understands some 2,000 words through a system of symbols called lexigrams.

Suffice it to say, if he develops a knack for riding horses I’m outta here.

Monkey's playing with fire? This is not going to end well for any of us. I am less impressed with the fire starting than I am with the fact that he figured out how to ROAST something on the fire. How long before YOUR head in on the end of that stick?

GAH!

Why do these zoo numnuts always underestimate the smart monkeys? You don't give matches to a monkey who can communicate. How hard is that to understand? Why not just gift him a gun and a driver's licence while you are at it. This situation will get out of control, it will get out of control and we will be lucky to live through it.

I Feel Your Pain, Girl

Have A Vodka With Me, Bitches

I fear I become abusive when I drink. Good thing that is not very often. I just told the cat to 'get a job'. That was totally unfair of me. His skills as a Cold War assassin are totally incompatible with today's job market. It's all about the THREAT of violence today. Nobody has the balls to follow through.

I made the decision to go with roast beef over turkey for my New Years Day meal. But in honor of that fine noble bird, I present the greatest turkey related bit of comedy I have ever seen. Remember - "It all get's pretty strange after that."

Art Appreciation

Okay, I Was Wrong

'Two Broke Girls' is very funny with great leads, hilarious writing and fantastic supporting characters like Han (Matthew Moy) and the lusty chef Oleg (Jonathan Kite). This is a great example of using your cast to enhance the funny. I feel that there are no egos on the show and that everyone is working overtime to produce something entertaining.

I am six episodes in and am totally sold on the whole concept of the show which is hilarious to me because the pilot was something I watched back in September and hated. There's a lesson in that for all you TV loving mutants out there. Don't just write off a show because you had one bad experience with it.

Both Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs are really talented comedians and their odd couple relationship works in so many rewarding ways. The characters are sympathetic and unique.

I am especially impressed with Behrs who could have done a Paris Hilton imitation but her Caroline has so much more substance to her than we would ever attribute to Hilton. I found myself loving her performance more than Kat's (who let's admit can never ever let me down). The 'five dollar dance' Behr did in the Good Will store is going to become a comedy classic. I couldn't embedded the clip but do yourself a favor and go watch the dance HERE.

The show is also really filthy which is something I never expected to see from CBS.

Nice to watch SNL veteran Garrett Morris get some good lines like "That woman just gave me her phone number. That's all I need. Another menopausal white woman scratching at my window like a cat in heat."

Plus any show that makes a horse named Chestnut part of an already stellar cast is always going to win here at the Cave of Cool. I can't talk enough about how much I love performing horse like Chestnut and Comet the Wonder Horse from The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.

This show is very funny and very 'cleavagie'. If you miss it you can't catch it in syndication in about five years. I have high hopes it will be around that long.

BONUS - I hope that women, especially, watch this show. I hope that it gives you some insight into the male psyche. I hope you understand (on a purely biological level) why Kat Dennings is irresistible to the male of the species.

She is almost 'Shatneresque' in her ability to 'get the joke'. She understands on a larger pop culture level what it MEANS to BE a Kat Dennings. That attitude is what makes her remarkable.

I am fortunate to know many women like that - I don't want to say their names for fear I would miss one. Know that you are ALL magnificent in your own ways. The mere fact that I follow you so obsessively should attest to the truth that you are a remarkable, talented, funny, strong and crazy group of bitches. I live in a pride of lionesses and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Just Because You Are King Of The Jungle Is No Reason To Look Shabby

Cats are cats no matter their size or breed. Tell me this guy doesn't have the best job in the world.



"British animal wrangler Alex Larenty sprays Jamu the Lion with special Lion hairspray, brushes his hair and gives Jamu a lion manicure at the SA Lion Park on August 19, 2011 in Johannesburg, South Africa."


So let me understand this. You have a cat who likes to be primped and manicured and you are wondering WHY he is having trouble mating with the female cats around him? The answer is simple. What you have there is a homosexual lion.

The 'gaydar' of the lioness is a finely tuned instrument. They know that Jamu has a preference for his own gender but they aren't going to tell anyone because he does look fabulous and that is what the male lion is there for - to look so magnificent from a distance that no other males come sniffing about.

Finally My Town Is Perfect

I was out doing errands yesterday and saw something that is akin to a holiday miracle - my town is getting a FIVE GUYS BURGER franchise! I love nothing better than a good old giant sloppy cheeseburger like the ones you used to get at the Curling Rink. I hope they do onion rings as well as fries. This could actually push Wendy's off the top of my favorite burger list.

I was not the only one driving by the restraunt to see if it was open but that is still several weeks away. Good to have something to look forward to. Yes, I know it's FOOD but it's good food.


First opened in 1986, the menu is now offered in over three hundred locations and twenty five states. Why the success? Just when everyone thought there were enough Burger options? Here’s the reasons Five Guys Burgers and Fries say they been so widely accepted:

1. There are over 250,000 possible ways to order a burger at Five Guys.
2. They use only fresh, never frozen, ground beef.
3. There are no freezers in any Five Guys locations, just coolers. Never frozen.
4. They use only peanut oil.
5. They use only Idaho potatoes.
6. Their entire menu is trans-fat free.

Voted the Washingtonian Magazine’s “Reader’s Choice” #1 Burger for each year since 1999, Five Guys continues to collect awards and praises in every additional location.

Walk in and scoop up some fresh roasted in the shell peanuts, always free, while you place your order at the counter. Each separate order is placed in a paper bag. No confusion as to whose sandwich is whose. French fries are hot and crispy. If you are a lacto-vegetarian, their veggie sandwich and grilled cheese sandwiches are a musts! Choose the “veggie” toppings you like and add your choice of cheese for your perfect burger.
Once you visit, you might become a fanatic. How do you know if your a fanatic?

You might be a fanatic if:

1. You know all of the fifteen free toppings by heart.
2. Your heart skips a beat when you see a grease stained brown paper bag.
3. The sight of foil causes you to salivate.
4. Your hand is tired from drawing intense comment card pictures.
5. You “look up” when trying to order at fine dining establishments.

Plus it's the only burger joint that Brother Obama patronizes and that is good enough for me.

Classic Comic Cover Covers

I really enjoy the blog 'Covered'. The concept is simple. People remake classic comic book covers in their own individual style. Sometimes they try to faithfully reproduce the cover but mostly we get some really great re-imaginings that remain faithful to the intent of the original.

Nobody Does Drama Like DOOM

FF #13 (Click to Enlarge)




Dr. Doom is probably my favorite character in all of comic fiction. This two page ending to FF #13 tells you all you need to know about the complexities of the man.

At once tender, reassuring only to fall back on the arrogance that has forever been his undoing. His relationship with Valeria, the youngest child of Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman is really rewarding to follow. She was named for Doom's dead love. It was a condition of him working to save the child when she was being born.

She's smarter than him but instead of trying to kill her, he is humbled by her intelligence, resourcefulness and compassion - which is all Doom REALLY wants from the world. Just some compassion for his pain. Sure he has no idea how to get that from people and devises insanely complex schemes to FORCE everyone to sympathize with his point of view.

I love how wonderfully myopic his perspective is. He is often his own worst enemy but is actually TRYING now to find a better way. That gives an old villain new nobility. FF is a great comic series because this time the Future Foundation has made Doom 'part of the club' - something Valeria negotiated and insisted upon.
