Wednesday Filler: What really happened to Silvio Berlusconi

Via the always-excellent Warming Glow

Tuesday filler: Sexy pilgrim

Because the Big Aristotle himself tweeted this last night:

Ladies, start your engines

I hate to generalize based on decades, but I think it’s safe to say that the men of the 1980s were the sexiest men there ever were.
Careful, watching this video more than once can lead to pregnancy.

Wednesday Wobbling Whimperfest (and link dump)

Normally it’s Father Scott’s job to clean up the sad tears and corndog crumbs of the prior evening’s episode of The Biggest Loser. But he’s in Prague on my behalf this week, trying to secure me several necessities for my new Czech mountain redoubt.
Last night was the “makeover episode” which is like the Super Bowl [...]

Bob Ross makes you scrub the latrine

ALRIGHT UP AND AT ‘EM, MAGGOTS! TIME TO GET YOUR CANDY ASSES OUT OF THAT BUNK AND TRY YOUR HARDEST TO CONVINCE YOUR MOMMA THAT YOU ARE NOT
THE
BIGGEST
MISTAKE
OF HER LIFE!
WHAT’S THAT, MAGGOT? WHY AM I YELLING AT YOU?
BECAUSE I’M ALL OUT OF YELLOW OCHRE, AND IT’S DAMN HARD TO MAKE HAPPY LITTLE [...]

Who’s what now?

Over in the Guardian (UK), a guy named Peter Tatchell gets all aflutter in an article asserting that famous black person Malcolm X was bisexual, and advising the reader to “get over it.” The piece is actually called “Malcolm X was bisexual. Get over it.”
OK, I’m over it. But what about this?
It is also worth [...]

Wednesday Whaley Whimperfest: NBC and Hulu are stupid

Father Scott
You may have noticed there was no Tuesday Tubby Tearfest this week. Here’s why: I missed The Biggest Loser the previous week (Celts opening night y’all) and was like, “Oh, I’ll check it out online later.” NBC is a major network, works really hard on Hulu (they advertised on the Super Bowl!), so obviously [...]

H1NDone

Well, that was a disappointment.
Not only was I forced to board a plane for my least-favorite place on earth last week, but nary a day and a half after landing was consumed by the onset of the flu. Alternating between freezing and sweating like Father Scott on the racquetball court, I spent an entire work [...]

Friday Random 10: You can’t overestimate Gerry Callahan

Father Scott
On my delicious nine-minute commute this morning, I got to hear the dulcet tones of Gerry Callahan say the following on EEI (paraphrased):
“You can’t overestimate the importance of the return of Brett Favre to Green Bay.”
Oh, Gerry, Gerry, Gerry. I’m afraid you don’t know me well. Watch how I overestimate this:
I say the return [...]

Tuesday Tubby Tearfest: In which I straight up don’t believe NBC

Father Scott
We all know that reality shows lie to our faces every episode. For instance, The Hills masquerades as non-fiction. Flavor of Love seems to suggest that Flavor Flav reads above a third-grade level. The Bachelor/Bachelorette series want you to think that every time a contestant is sent home, it was “the hardest decision [the [...]
