Jump the Shark / Growing the Beard
Ever wonder what the opposite of Jumping the Shark is? Turns out it’s “Growing the Beard” in reference to Commander William T. Riker on Star Trek: The Next Generation. And now you know, and knowing is half the battle…
Kevin Smith about talk Superman
You know anything about Superman? The most vicious killer in the animal kingdom.
This is why Kevin Smith is a genius storyteller. This excerpt is the good Dr. Smith talking about his brief time working on the long in development hell Superman reboot. It’s pretty damned hilarious and if you dig it, I’d recommend checking out the “An Evening with Kevin Smith” series of college talks they are from, highly entertaining.

Card Toss – Flash Gaming Simplicity
It’s been a while since we’ve featured a fun little flash game here, but Card Toss is certainly worth wasting a little time with. The game is simple, flip the card into the cap. Happy time-wasting!
YouTube – Dr Horrible on the Emmys
See, the internet is better than TV. I didn’t have to sit through a fucktardedly stupid ego-stroking awards show to watch the 2 actual minutes of humor. Thanks Dr. Horrible! (and Joss Whedon)!
75 Percent of Oklahoma Students Can’t Name the First President
I cannot tell a lie, Oklahoma is a disturbingly stupid state. 75% of OK high schoolers have no clue that some dude named George who’s face is smeared all over the funny green paper in their pockets was our first President and not just some funny guy with a wig.
Stay classy red states.
Fall 2009 TV Premiere Dates
Alright pop-culture junkies, the Fall premiere season is right around the corner, dulling the stingy pain of the end of summer with the warm embrace of freshly scripted escapism.

Family Guy (Season 8 ) September 27th FOX
The Big Bang Theory (Season 3) September 21st CBS
