On This New Years Eve, I look Forward to 2014 With Sherlock

On This New Years Eve, I look Forward to 2014 With Sherlock 

I'm really thankful for the end of 2013. It wasn't a good year. Like, not at all. Other than having Breaking Bad in there, I would have called it a wash. Many end of year list say there was a lots of highs and lows. Not here, this was all lows and very little to recover from before even more lows.

So I'm glad that it's over with. I look forward to a new beginning. And hey, it starts off with a nice sign in that we get new Sherlock. I mean, that's gotta be worth something right there. Here's the prequel.



So hey, Happy New Year and all that jazz.

World War I in Colour

World War I in Colour 

So this is a neat little thing. It's World War I in colour. Yes, I wrote that in fancy European style, cause, you know. It's a War in the Worlds.



It's well worth seeing, just so, you know, we could look at those historic moments.

2013 - A Year in Inequality

2013 - A Year in Inequality

As we kick 2013 out the fucking door because it's such a waste of a god damn year, let's look back for a moment at those... well, moments where we really didn't advance much in 2013 in those hard pressed issues.



Yeah, Fuck 2013. But then again, I doubt 2014 is going to be some ground breaking year for equality either...


Fuck.

Well This is a Moffat Sandwich - Doctor Who Meets Sherlock

Well This is a Moffat Sandwich - Doctor Who Meets Sherlock 

We may have seen the last of Matt Smith in the Christmas special, but that doesn't mean that you can't get just a little more portioned out to you in terms of awesome Doctor Who action from Matt Smith. Take this little ditty some fan made up where he meets a fella who returns in just a few days.



For having dead eyes in some shots, it was entirely well made, if you ask me.

One For All The Haters

One For All The Haters

As we head right into the new year, I think it should be worth noting that in 2014, you probably shouldn't take the internet as seriously as you have in the past. For example, you should lay off the youtube comments and the hate. This video explains a lot.

Creating Therapy Bills For Your Children - Christmas Newsletters

Creating Therapy Bills For Your Children - Christmas Newsletters

There's no way that this isn't talked about in that therapy that your children will eventually require....



In all truth, that video was pretty funny, but man are those kids, when already grown, going to wonder what the hell and be totally embarrassed by it. There's no way around that.

Breaking Bad - A Train Job

Breaking Bad - A Train Job

So with the corporate holiday right around the corner and as my hopes of getting a little black barrel full of video disc and a Los Pollos cooking apron come smashing into wall, I can't help but just wonder if I should buy it for myself. I mean, seeing the deleted scenes pop up on the internet like this cut scene from the Train Job....



Yeah, I'm really just going to have to bite the bullet and get this for myself from jolly ol' Saint Nicholas. Tis the season, after all.

Besides, what would Walter White do?

Chowing Too Much Bacon Can Fry Your Eggs


Chowing Too Much Bacon Can Fry Your Eggs

I guess the next time you're fumbling around with your new dance partner in the bedroom and you're wondering if you got your jimmy hat or not, perhaps you should think to yourself "Did I eat some bacon this morning?" If so, perhaps you have nothing to worry about in not slipping a condom on.

Not that I'm condoning sex without a condom, that is, but in a study by Harvard University, it found that men who consume a regular portion of bacon or a small amount of sausage daily are at risk of harming their sperm quality. The same study also found that to improve sperm, men should eat fish like cod or halibut. 

The study was presented a couple of weeks back at a meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in Boston. And it compared the eating habits of 156 men going through in vitro fertilization treatments with their partners. According to the study, Men who consumed just half a portion of processed meat a day had just 5.5 percent normal shaped sperm cells. That was compared to 7.2% of those who ate less. Men who had dishes containing white fish at least every other day - or half a portion daily - had far better sperm quality than those who ate it rarely.

The basic sum up was that processed meat was bad and fish was good.

It should be noted that before you give up all your beef jerky, the chairman of the British Fertility Society, Dr. Allan Pacey, noted that
"The relationship between diet and men’s fertility is an interesting one and there is certainly now convincing evidence that men who eat more fresh fruit and vegetables have better sperm than men who don’t," he said. "However, less is known about the fertility of men with poor diets and whether specific foods can be linked to poor sperm quality.
"In this instance, the authors link men’s intake of processed meat with the size and shape of their sperm. This may be a real effect, but the study is small and we know that accurately measuring sperm size and shape in the laboratory is fraught with error.
"However, it is already known that high intake of processed meat is linked to other health issues and so advising men to limit their intake of processed food may improve their health generally as well as possibly be good for their fertility."
So hey, there's another reason to hate Boston,. As if their sports fans weren't fucking pricks enough as it was. Now their scientist are also taking a massive dump on the things you love.

But to be honest, it should come as no surprise. I mean, bacon makes even the best of us a little lazy. Those sperms are just too busy thinking about where they'll get more bacon fat - since it's addicting, and less time worrying about some stupid mission to get the egg. Why bother, there's no bacon there!

Beer Aged 21 Years

Beer Aged 21 Years

I had someone ask me at a beer shop the other day what beer would age well for 21 years. And instantly I was confused. Why would you want to age a beer for that long? In any event, they just had a daughter and they wanted a beer that would be from when they were born. I mean.. that still seems stupid to me. Not only because 21 years for a beer seems like... well, like they'll be tasting beer that taste worst than Coor's or PBR.

Not to mention that it's a waste to not enjoy a good beer when its good. It seems like a waste to give to someone just turning 21. At that age you really aren't looking for GOOD beer, you're just looking for something to get fucked up at. Teens and barely drink legal kids are chugging shit like bud, coors and PBR without concern of taste.

It's sort of like giving a baby some lobster. That shit is lost on them and they just want mooshed together peas and carrots. 


If you're aging beer, another good style would be Gueuze. Or perhaps a sour like that, but let's be fucking honest here. Some new to legal drinking beer drinker is going to like a Gueze like a virgin will enjoy anal sex. That shit is just going to make them a wine drinker for life. Is that a crude metaphor? You're damn right it is, but it's only fitting since you're trying to force a hobby on to your kids, like a broken trailer trash living former high school prom is vicariously living their dreams on Toddler and Tiaras.

Your newly turned 21 kid isn't going to give a shit about how that beer has hints of barnyard funk and horse blank smells. Or if the lacing on the glass is clingy as fuck. Ya' know.I get the idea. You can enjoy something that was aged along with them, but unless you want your kid to think and associate "good beer" with something that more than likely taste like cardboard, it seems pretty foolish.

A better option would be to just invest that money you would have spent on those old beers... shit, with aged beers like that, you could easily turn them around and sell them for a shit load of cash. How about you invest that money into some sort of college fund for the kid. It'll be a lot longer lasting than having them swig back some beer that time has forgotten. Don't you worry, they'll appreciate "get-you-shitfaced" alcohol just as much as you do when they're chugging it back with their frat mates or dorm roomies. Only they'll gladly throw back those shitty beers you wouldn't touch.


I'm going to flat out say it. In general, the majority of beers, even cellarable styles like high ABV stouts and barleywines, just do not improve with age. Sure, if they're tasting hot out of the gate, they'll mellow out. But by and large, you're not going to improve a beer by aging it.

It gets to the point that cellaring a beer is really unnecessary. And in fact, cellaring wine is equally foolish. The vast majority of wine you buy over the counter isn't made with the mindset of laying it down for half a decade or more. It's made for pretty much immediate consumption.

Over all, you just have to realize that the whole fact of a beer "improving" is completely subjective. It's not a harda nd fast rule. Some beers will taste better, some will not do well over the ravages of time. Even if they are high in ABV to begin with.  At some point you just need to stop telling yourself you're cellaring a beer if it's simply just sitting there waiting to be drank when you get around to it or holding it for a special occasion that is coming up soon.

Forcing your children to drink something that old isn't going to do you any favors. I mean, most of the time kids like to rebel against what their parents like anyway simply to break out and have their own identity. So perhaps you shouldn't push beer on them, unless you actually want them to NOT drink. In which case, I think we just discovered the best way to prevent alcoholism in teenagers.

Have a craft beer parent.

Joss on Equality 

When asked a billion times why he writes strong female characters in his story, Joss Whedon gave the answer that deserves to be repeated over and over again. Especially since that question keeps getting asked.

The Simpsons Do The Hobbit

The Simpsons Do The Hobbit 

It seems that the only thing that the Simpsons can do right now a days is get the couch gag just perfect. Never mind trying to get them to write an episode that doesn't suck donkey dick. But the couch gag, yeah that's the sweet spot.

Just look as they do a take on The Hobbit.



Which by chance, comes out this weekend. Oh man, I can't wait to see where they leave us off and waiting another year for the resolution of this book, which is so much shorter than Lord of the Rings, and yet gets a run time just about equal to it.

How Could Liking Chinese Food Sound So Disturbing?

How Could Liking Chinese Food Sound So Disturbing? 

Alison Gold, the latest pedo target from the creators of Jessica Black's Friday music craze came out with yet another video that makes you wonder why parents leave their children with this music producer. Take a look at what could only raise red flags and amber alerts.



I'm not even sure where to start with that. How about the creepy black Mister Rogers who is creeping around the town looking through little girls' windows?

Then you have the course line of this song that takes the alphabet and just does some really raw and nasty shit to it. Lyrics like...
A - Anything you want to have      - Whoa, even Pedo bear is concerned here.
B - Be Comes when you believe   - I think B comes when you tweak their nipples, to be honest.
C - C will come when you take a chance - I don't even want to touch that one. Too much coming
D - When open up the door - yeeeeah, don't open up the door to strangers, kids.

But I guess this was foreshadowing, since the young little blonde girl decides to answer Black Mister Rogers' door knocking and rolling up in what could only be described as a straight up rape van. I mean, there's no sugar coating it. It may as well have FREE CANDY written on the side of that windowless van.

The video then continues as he takes her to a club. I mean, how old is she anyway? But there's one punch bowl in the party and he keeps on slipping unknown mixtures into it. Holy fuck, that's straight up pouring something into the Kool-aid.

I don't think it's that he put some puppet serum into, but that she's tripping balls with what she had to drink of his strange naughty sauce. He then starts rapping as a puppet. I have no clue why an older Asian fella wants to stick his arrow into the little dude, but I guess that explains itself.

Then ending with what is clearly a drug induced state as she's mad hungry for the munchies that she see's her crush as a plate of Chinese food.
I guess to "get" the ending in that she just chomps down on the Egg roll, you'd have to come into this knowing the singers past hit "I Like Chinese Food"  I do say hit very loosely there.

But what does it all mean? Other than they're slowly trying to make pedophilia sort of legal, I guess? I'm not even sure anymore.

The Hang Over

The Hang Over


Let's be real here - It's the Holiday season and that means that heavy amounts of drinking will be happening very soon. So the problem with that is that you're going to have to deal with the lingering effects the next morning.

To better understand what exactly you're trying to cure, you need to know what exactly is happening to your body other than a marching band is stomping on your head and that decision to take another two rounds of shots.... was probably the wrong one.

IN YOUR HEAD

You're probably wondering why your head feels so fucked up. Well, the real answer is that you're fucking dehydrated. The excess alcohol really fucked over your vasopressin production. It's a hormone that controls fluid balance. Meaning it told your bladder to dump all the water it had. Which does explain why you were going to the bathroom, like, 20 times in an hour after a you started drinking.

What this means is that you got to get a lot of catching up to do in the drinking water department. Or drink some coconut water. It's the latest trend. But anyway you can, you need to get hydrated. What is happening is that your brain lost a lot of water in the great dumping of fluids. It, in many ways has shrunk down like a sponge that has been ringed out.

And if that's not the case, then it's fucking with your immune system's cytokines. It's a chemical messenger system that triggers acute inflammation in your head. Ibuprofen may help, but then again, do you really want to put something in your system that will put strain on your already strained kidney?

Another reason why your head can be hurting is because you were drinking the liquors that come from the barrel. Vodka and other clear spirits are a lot easier on your head. the darker the liquors, the harder they are as they contain more congeners, which are chemicals that exacerbate hangovers.

YOUR LIVER

Let's be frank. Your liver can only handle a certain workload before it's just too beat up. On average it could handle and process one drink per hour. So when you were throwing back those shots last night, you really fucked it over and dumped an extra workload on it. Painkillers could really put more strain on it -- more than it already has.

STOMACH. 

I don't know about you, but for me, I can never ever really handle food the next morning that is anything dense. Menudo.. most def. But anything solid is just going to come right back up. If you're anything like me it's because those mixed drinks and spiked drinks really fucked over your inner stomach lining. Making it super sensitive and irritated. Just take it easy on it in the early parts as it recovers.

On the flip side, all that nausea that you're feeling could actually be a sign that you're going through withdrawals on the sauce. Yeah, it's true. like most drugs, alcohol, when consumed like you did last night and like a person on a mission of self destruction, triggers a "give me more!" sort of symptoms once it's out of your system. This also accounts for feeling shakey, sweating and anxiety.

ENERGY LEVEL 

You're fucking tired. I know that. Alcohol disturbed your brain's normal sleep cycles. So what every sleep you did get, you were probably not getting anything near remotely good amounts of it. You may as well call the day a wash. You're going to be chilling for a while.

You may as well just relax and ride it out, because this may take a couple of hours to about 24 just to bounce back. But hey, you could be one of the lucky few in the 20% range that doesn't suffer from anything hangover related.

Those lucky bastards.

Fly, You Fools - New Zealand: There and Back Again


Fly, You Fools - New Zealand: There and Back Again



One place I would love to travel to is New Zealand. It seems like the one untouched wonder of the world, unless you count being touched by the hand of Mordor to be tainted. Either way, it's such a majestic looking place and has a hobbit hole bar. What could go wrong with that?

In any event, to get there you'll need some Eagles or perhaps some help from Air New Zealand. Who seem to be all about helping you get to Middle-Earth



And once you're on that flight to New Zealand, be sure to pay attention to that in flight safety.

Living Life A Quarter Mile at a Time

Living Life A Quarter Mile at a Time 

You know, I've made just about every Paul Walker joke I could come up with. It's really tragic what happened to him. I mean, it made for great material. It's not every day that an actor dies at the very hands of what made him... you know, famous. If he died in a plane crash it would be different. But with him dying due to a car crash while his buddy was simply practicing his Tokyo drifting, well then, that's a comedian's wet dream.

But you know what, I have much respect for the actor and for the franchise. As much shit as people talk about it, the whole franchise really did kick off something huge way back when and made street racing, an otherwise underground sort of thing, into a huge deal. Not to mention that it's really impressive that a movie made for that little made that much. 

While I didn't know him at the time, I realize that my half brother was really influenced by the films. At least that's what I recall when I saw a lot of after market race car gear with my pops. And later when I finally met him, the dude really really REALLY reminded me of Paul Walker's character in the film. Especially his looks. Man, that's got to be one of those most influential flicks for him.

In any case, after plowing through the franchise earlier this year, I'm a bit saddened by this whole thing. And, you know, the loss of human life and all that jazz. In any case, here's a little tribute music video

Fires in Arcade

Fires in Arcades 

So this video by Arcade Fire is pretty fucking cool. You should watch it and enjoy it. Yes, you should.



Very cool indeed. It's also probably what you're dealing with in a relationship at this time of the year, what with the crazy amount of "their family" you may be dealing with or the arguments that dealing with their own family causes them. It's times like that in which you may feel like working it out via the screaming and shouting.

What Nerds Do During Football Games

What Nerds Do During Football Games

It's pretty clear that the real draw for nerds isn't the football game itself. So in true fashion of Ohio State football marching band, I guess they tried to reach out to the nerds to come to more games using some Hollywood Blockbusters.



Truth be told, Ohio State does a lot of these really impressive marching band acts, it's rather impressive... if you have the nose bleed seats.

Repeal Day

Repeal Day

On December 5, 1933, the 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment. This was the first time that an Amendment was repealed and it was for a good reason.  The 18th was the one that prohibited the manufacture, sale and transportation of alcoholic beverages. It was a happy day when that sucker was repealed and the end of prohibition was upon us.

Now we're here 80 years later and about to celebrate the end of prohibition once again. One simple question you need to ask yourself is what are you going to do and what are you going to drink to celebrate this occasion?

If I was a betting man, I would say that your best bet is to go hit up one of the Los Angeles bars that is owned by the 1933 Group. You know, it's only fitting since they are named after the year that the 18th Amendment was repealed. but some of my most favorite moments have been in their bars. From Big Foot Lodge to La Cuevita and even Oldfield's Liquor Room. The theme that the bars set are just perfect for the day of celebrating.

And if that wasn't enough, all their bars will be offering a very cheap $1 cocktail made just for Repeal Day between 7pm and 9pm.

So yeah, that's what you can be doing, I know I'll be celebrating it up some because it's a very special day for me

Hanukkah Honey, One More Night, Don't Be Late!

Hanukkah Honey, One More Night, Don't Be Late!

I'm not Jewish, but I play one for the sake that I work in Hollywood. But I did celebrate the first night of Hanukkah by eating some yummy potato pancakes, killing off a bottle of manischewitz and lighting a menorah. Yeah, I own a menorah. Go figure.

In any event, as we approach the last night of this festival of lights, I'd just like to post this video so I can properly insult everyone equally this holiday season.



Such a funny little ditty.  Besides, I'm busy on the actual last night of Hanukkah going out and celebrating Repeal day and Krampus Day

The Spices Must Flow - Sriracha Be Gone

The Spices Must Flow - Sriracha Be Gone

So after back and forth with your typical NIMBY's and a company that is creating a bit of a hot pepper smell, it appears that the makers of the popular Rooster sauce Sriracha will be forced to closed their doors.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge Tuesday ordered a Sriracha hot sauce plant in Irwindale to partially shut down in response to smell complaints from nearby residents.
Judge Robert H. O'Brien ruled in favor of the city and ordered sauce maker Huy Fong Foods to cease any kind of operations that could be causing the odors and make immediate changes that would help mitigate them.
The injunction does not order the company to stop operating  entirely, or specify the types of actions that are required.
The city of Irwindale sued Huy Fong Foods on Oct. 21 after nearby residents complained of heartburn, inflamed asthma and even nosebleeds that they said were caused by the spicy odor coming from the hot sauce plant.
O'Brien acknowledged in his ruling that there was a "lack of credible evidence" linking the stated health problems to the odor, but said that the odor appears to be "extremely annoying, irritating and offensive to the senses warranting consideration as a public nuisance."
He also wrote that the odor could be "reasonably inferred to be emanating from the facility," and determined that the city is "likely to prevail" in declaring the odor a public nuisance, according to the ruling.
Irwindale officials applauded the judge's decision.
"We believe it's a strong ruling that acknowledges and is reflective of the concerns that the community has raised about the health impacts of the odor," said City Atty. Fred Galante.
Huy Fong officials did not return requests for comment Tuesday evening. 
The ruling will take effect as soon as the judge signs the injunction, which Galante says will be filed as early as Wednesday.



Forget all the rushing to black Friday sales. It's pretty clear that everyone was rushing out to the walmarts trampling over bodies left and right in order to get the last of their precious hot sauce.

I mean, it's pretty clear that the Irwindale officials don't give a shit about all the jobs that this is going to cost. And right before Thanksgiving and Christmas. How kind of them, wouldn't you say?  It seems that any factory is going to throw out a smell that isn't going to be all that pleasant.  Irwindale needs to take the good with the bad.

Let's face the facts here. Irwindale isn't your Sunnyville U.S.A or anything. The place boast the attraction of a race track. Yeah, I imagine that the smell of all those high octane cars burning gas isn't going to be pretty either. What with all that carbon dioxide put out there. How about you shut down that? Anyone who decides to live in that industrial slum deserves all the smells that any factory around there is cranking out.

But hey, who can argue with their sound logic. Sure, they don't need any more jobs in Irwindale. They must enjoy being poor and unemployed. They just want the company to relocate and find a new area that would like the tax revenue that a huge company that makes hot sauce would bring in to the community.

It's comical because the owners just spent millions building their factory based on the approval of the city. I bet it's about time to sue the city for granting those permits for the factory when they really shouldn't have.  They lured the company in with deferred payment schedules.

That's what really bothers me about this whole situation. It seems like Irwindale is just all happy that this happened. That jobs are lost and that they want to keep their tax revenue in the company, but want the bad element of the smell to just go away. As if a business owner is just going to do all the dirty work somewhere else and come here to bottle. Forget that, at best, you're going to see the plant go to another neighborhood that will be accepting of it and give it just enough tax breaks to make it worth not having to deal with anything related to Irwindale.

I'm not mad because I may lose out my breakfast sauce. Let's be real here, this is going to be made somewhere. Maybe not Irwindale, but the demand is there and this just puts it out there even more. Much like Twinkies. This stuff is going to be selling like hot cakes. The banned in Irwindale hot sauce.

Fuck them.

Letting A Little Joy into Your Life This Holiday Season

Letting A Little Joy into Your Life This Holiday Season

For many, this time of year is pretty much filled with depression and thoughts that are filled with negativity. I can't blame them. I have been there. The whole commercialization of the holiday and the consumerism really makes it a matter of putting it to your face that you need to be a consumer.

Then you have the crushing isolation that this holiday brings. For many who are away or don't have a family, this forced family functions just lends to the feeling of isolation. Even if you're in a relationship or have a family. You may not always want to be around so much cutesy shit.

Sometimes it's hard to get into the holiday spirit. Especially when it's been sort of hijacked by a lot of different meanings and causes. Either way, I would like to bring a little joy to you. Because it's amazing what something small could eventually lead to.

Just look at what a single quarter could produce in terms of public joy..



Happy Holidays. Try to survive them, will you now

Play For That Mother Fucking Money - Treme

Play For That Mother Fucking Money - Treme

Tonight is something special. Tonight is the start of the last season - if you could even call it that. It's more like a mercy killing of a show that has a little part of me. Back in 2006 I was coming from Florida back to California on a road trip and part of it was to stay in New Orleans... Let me put it this way... it was post Katrina New Orleans. In fact, it was just two weeks before Mardi Gras kicked off. The place was still a mess, but you saw a lot of hope around.

In any event, HBO's TREME comes back tonight for five more episodes to close off the series. It's been an amazing 3 seasons so far, I can only wait to see what is in store for our characters as we reach the end.
