This is slightly off our usual topic but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to reblog this movie trailer featuring Nazi zombies. Nazi. Zombies!

I'm...I'm competitive?
I haven’t liked watching basketball in years. It’s probably been about 10 years since I’ve seen more than, say, 5 games in any one season.
But apparently, despite the fact that I don’t like basketball that much, I’m a competitive enough person to get psyched out of my mind for a Fantasy Basketball league with a couple co-workers. I’ve already spent hours rabidly researching players in the dim hope I might “win” the league.
“STFU AND LET ME WORK” vs. “Hand Banana” on Oct. 28th. Be there!
(While busy at work, they took my response to “What’s your team’s name?” a little too literal)
My Bank's Dead.
I feel like I’m supposed to be sweating. Or crying. Or swearing..
And yet, meh…
I didn’t think I’d ever say this, but thanks Federal Government!
Freddy Krueger's Origin
I was pretty sure I’d watched most/all of the Freddy Krueger movies, but apparently not. I’d always thought of Freddy as some kind of weird Dream Monster Spirit thing that was created when his mortal body was unjustly killed.
Not quite. He was killed, and that did free some sort of Spirit Dream Monster thing. But I missed the details of his birth somehow.
Here’s the quote from Wikipedia:
During a Christmas holiday, a young nun named Sister Mary Helena (a.k.a. Amanda Krueger) was accidentally trapped inside a ward of the Westin Hills psychiatric hospital. Known as “the tower”, this ward was used to house the very worst of the criminally insane. Amanda was raped and tortured by the 100 patients confined there. She was found days later, close to death and now pregnant. Frederick Charles Krueger was born months later after a breech birth and was given up for adoption.
I thought these were more or less silly 80’s horror movies. I did not expect an origin story involving the mass raping of a nun by dozens of deranged criminals. That’s Frank Miller territory, not Wes Craven…
Create your own Political Satire!
Palin getting votes from super Conservative Christians because her unwed teenager is pregnant is like:
X doing Y.
(where X = someone or someones)
(where Y = something X should never do)
Disaster Movie is a Disaster
At time of posting, Disaster Movie has a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Every once in a while I get really upset when I discover some show that’s been on for years and years.
In this instance, QI (or Quite Interesting), 5 witty Brits get together and talk about…stuff. I presume this wouldn’t work here because there’s not enough fireworks and dramatic music in QI’s forumula.

This website is set up for a local resale shop for video games and DVDs and CDs. It’s horrendous.
Yet, this (totally accidental) works perfectly for this site. There’s something genius about pairing the nostalgia for some old CDs/SNES games from 1995 with a website that looks like it’s straight from that same year.
It’s almost refreshing to see something so unprofessional and ugly.
Apparently, The Mint Chicks blew up over a year and a half ago in New Zealand. I’m not sure why their popularity was restricted to only New Zealand. This is the most I’ve written about New Zealand in my entire life combined.
