Gene Simmon's has got one long tongue. In honor of his part on Celebrity Apprentice, here's the Top 10 Gene Simmons tongue shots.

I keep seeing posts about The Wire here, but y’all never explained what it's about. Now I know; it’s a crime drama! But it’s on HBO, which I don’t have. And won’t, til I get a real job. But HBO wants new viewers, so they’ve condensed the first four seasons into one convenient video.

Wanted: Somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before.

It's his claim to having done it before that makes it perfect for me. If you're interested, apply here. (Thanks, Mike)

While I've never been a collector of Action Figures (or "dolls" as my wife calls them), I continue to marvel at people who create custom figures based on comics characters. I remember artist Darick Robertson showing me an amazing version of The Comedian from Watchmen - a character everyone is going to know much better when Zak Snyder's film comes out

Today on BoingBoing, I came across this excellent custom set. Taking as his inspiration the victorian-era world from the Batman graphic novel, Gotham by Gaslight (a great read if you haven't picked it up), Sillof has created the entire Justice League of America, steampunk style. The thing to note here is that all the figures are not only fantastic builds, but spring completely from his own imagination, applying the Gotham by Gaslight aesthetic to the regular teamthat never actually appeared in the story. Amazing.

Having just spent a week wasting way to much time on Cursor*10, I'd made a vow not to get sucked into seemingly simple but completely addicting online games for awhile. Then YBNBY friend alphamonkey at Transbuddha posted a link to Untangle that just has me distracted all over again. It looks simple enough - move the points around until no lines are intersecting, but solving it seems to be much more of an art than a science.

In an interesting twist to the whole Hillary Gets Vaclempt and wins New Hampshire story…Marianne Pernold Young, the woman who asked Hillary the question, actually voted for Obama.

The Toronto Star quotes her as saying "I voted for Obama. He really moved me. Hillary did, too, but he was less scripted. He ad-libbed and gave answers to questions that I could understand." While The NY Daily News reports that she was moved by Clinton’s emotion but stunned when Hillary went after Obama in the same breath. “That’s what turned me off, and that’s why I did not vote for her, “ said Pernold Young. “She went into that political posture again…seven seconds after she was a human being she became the Hillary Clinton that we know.”

Good thing for Hillary that the spin and press focused endlessly on her emotions and not how quickly she back to her talking points.

"First Sunday" * (out of four): David E. Talbert's frenetically unfunny comedy about two losers who attempt to rob a church. Doesn't have a prayer.

What really hurts about "First Sunday" - writer-director David E. Talbert's frenetically unfunny comedy - is that there's a promising premise buried in its frighteningly lengthy 98 minutes. The story, such as it is, revolves around two Baltimore men who, in an hour of desperation, decide to rob the neighborhood church of its renovation fund. In "Sunday" those men are Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan. And their hour of desperation has something to do with a misplaced batch of stolen, pimped-out wheelchairs. If that sentence doesn't have you chuckling, nothing in this woefully amateurish comedy will.
