Jordan's next generation

OK, the YouTube kinda wears me out too, but I just thought this Jordan ad is pretty amazing. So funny how iconic some of the little details are.

Darren Rovell from ESPN.com, who writes pretty excellent sports business articles, wrote about this, and even the smallest details are re-created in these scenes, like the bench in the slam dunk contest, etc. But he said he's assured by the people who made the ad that there's no trickery here, and these kids are all pulling this stuff off.

Everything's bigger in Texas. (Sorry, I couldn't help it.)

A lot of drama today about the Bryan-College Station Eagle, which published the above photo in Thursday's edition of the newspaper. The newspaper swear it's an optical illusion. I have to believe them, despite how perfect it looks. But I must point out a few things, most of which Dave pointed out to me today:

1. He's clearly wearing black Spandex shorts underneath his shorts, so it would be highly unlikely that his penis could escape.

2. People have been writing about how this guy planned to "expose himself." This was the game-winning shot in a big rivalry game between Texas and Texas A&M, so I highly doubt this player was more focused on some complex plan to show his penis than on how to beat a huge rival.

3. Judging on visible length and angle, this guy would have to have about a 12-inch penis, which I believe is pretty rare.

Oh, well. It's still funny as shit.

Milli Vanilli, eat your heart out

At the risk of being chided again by Teej, I submit an excellent Zach Galafanakis performance in this Fiona Apple video.

She said they both live in Venice Beach and he gave him a DVD of some of his stuff, including him lip-synching to some song. And he was so amazing at it she decided to let that be her new video. I think it's pretty funny. But really cuz I like that dude. I also think she's dreamy.

TiVo is goodness

I may have to engineer some configuration to hook my teevee up to this 'puter to show you what I seen last night... the wife showed me a clip from one of her stories, Gilmore Girls, where Sebastian Bach from Skid Row was playing at a Bar Mitzvah with some cheesy band and they were singing Hollaback Girl. It was stellar.

Game recognize game

I shoulda figured he'd be the one to do it.

This song by Game has a lil' cameo by Kevin Mufuckin' Federline in it. It's like one line of horribly overdone stuff. But K-Fed thinks enough of it to trumpet it on his MySpace page:

"whats up everone. check out this little shit i did wit game.. come download the fuck outta this. --kevin federline. thats whats up"

Speaking of dropping names, can Game make songs without mentioning everyone who's ever been in the raps? I tried to listen and list some of them but I don't know if I missed some. But this song mentions Dre about 19 times, Nas, Hova, Dipset, Kanye, Snoop, Paul Wall, Nelly, Bobby and Whitney, Beyonce, Slim Thug, 'Nolia Boys, Juvenile, Kay Slay, DJ Clue, 50, Cube, Quik, Foxy, Big Daddy Kane.

But then again there were also a couple of good lines in here:
"Rappers don't kill rappers; guns kill rappers"
"You livin' in my shadow like Marcus Vick"

And the best, for Teej:
"Got the clips(e) on hold but I ain't Pharrell"

I'll take "Ask a Mexican" for $600, Tucker

At work just now, I looked up and the teevee was on The Situation Room with Tucker Carlson. And here were the little list of topics down the left side, like they stole from Pardon the Interruption.

And tonight's list:
Homosexuality
Mardi Gras
Body Snatchers
Ask a Mexican
George Michael

Let this be a warning to you

Weak

Rest in peace, guy from "Kids" who slapped his dick back and forth with no hands during the swimming pool scene. You will be missed.
