Drew Barrymore update: Leather

Drew Barrymore is staring in a movie about roller derby. And this magazine photoshoot is somehow related to that theme, as is the following photo:

Co-staring is stuntwoman/actress Zoe Bell. You might remember her from “Death Proof,” in which she played staring as stuntwoman/actress Zoe Bell:

Zoe is the one in pink.

Wikis are GOOD. Use them.

Cats taste better than rabbits

I do not speak for myself.
Dad tells me that residents of Kingspark know better than to let cats roam free. The hawks that populate the skies along Southport Road are as known for swooping down on free-range cats as much as they are rabbits.
Speaking of wildlife in this neighborhood, last night I am driving down [...]

Next season on Dancing with the Stars …

Found on Twitter: This is just so wrong.

‘Hello, tech support? I think my cell phone is turning on my stove …’

I’ve had some wacky teach support calls in my life, But THIS one turned out to be true:
When Andrei Melnikov’s Sony Erickson PDA is within about two feet of the stove, an incoming call will make the Maytag Magic Chef stove beep, and the digital display will light up, indicating that the broiler is on [...]

The KISS Army has a new member

Wasn’t me …

I was pretty sure I was at Whitey’s surrounded by witnesses at the time this happened:
Billy Dennis, 33, stabbed a neighbor’s dog with a “gothic sorcerer-looking weapon” after his daughter was brought home June 18 with bite marks on her lip, according to an Allen County probable-cause affidavit. The dog sustained injuries consistent with blunt-force [...]

Netflix bluray discs suck even worse than before

From the Consumerist:
We have been experiencing a growing number of brand new Blu-Ray releases from Netflix that arrive with a small crack (usually 1-3mm, and sometimes only through the hardcoat part) along the outer edge that makes the disc unplayable. In better than 4 years we have had only ONE regular Netflix DVD arrive cracked, [...]

All redheads are mutants

Says so right here. They also are insane. And horny.

Like a deer caught in the headlights

Unfortunately, this clip doesn’t include some of the things he said about Peoria. I’ll keep looking.

Ouch

You know how I was laid up with back pain last month?
Yeah, I was moving a box and I did it again. Gonna sleep on it and see if it’s better in the morning.
I’m gonna have to get someone else around here to do the heavy lifting around here.

It’s time for a new Day by Day calender

Chris Muir’s Day by Day online strip has the sexiest women characters. At the top of this list is Sam, the engineer/gun aficionado who just happens to be married to Zed, an underemployed former sniper.
A couple of years ago, Chris kept us entertained by releasing a naughty calender featuring Sam and some weaponry.
Now, as sexy [...]
