So that's why I love drinking water
bi-polar.jpg

It’s true, prescription drugs cost way too much. Thankfully the pharmaceutical industry and the NYC DEP have found a way to help. If you've got high blood pressure, suffer from seizures, are bi-polar or menopausal you just might be in luck.

Deja Vu Video
powerbocks.jpg

I’ve seen videos of powerbocking for some time now, and they reminded me of something else. Yeah, they remind me of the stilts my dad made for me crossed with the pogo stick I got for Christmas when I was eight. But that’s not it. Powerbocks are spring-loaded stilts that attach to each foot. Something that Wile E. Coyote might order from ACME back in the day, but they are available from several sources now. No, that’s not what I was reminded of, either.

Oh, wait, now I know....

SNL notes
SNLfierce.jpg

So what did everyone think of SNL this week? Not their best effort, IMHO, but some bright moments. Some general comments...

- I didn't even know who Amy Adams was (never saw Enchanted or Junebug) but she really impressed me. Could've been a series regular, despite some really crappy sketches. As I watched, I kept getting a "high school valedictorian, probably threw off the curve" kinda vibe from her. Then again, she's famous, and I'm posting links to cheeseburger games, so who's the a'hole.

- The Project Runway bit should be a weekly sketch. Amy Poehler as Christian = comedy gold.

- Loved the Hillary/Barack sketch. But this morning on the Joe Scarborough show, they were saying how that clip continued to show the show's love for Hillary. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that a dig at the 3:00am spot, not Barack?

And finally, a couple clips after the jump

Wanted

The new trailer for Wanted, based on the comic book by Mark Millar and my good friend J.G. Jones. This is going to kick ass.

The latest from Improv Everywhere

Via BoingBoing, the folks at Improv Everywhere are really elevating their game. Their latest project involved staging a musical number in a mall food court, with impromtu singing by servers, janitors, security and shoppers.

This is really great.

Etch-A-Sketch Clock


Can you get any more retro-geeky than this? Angela built an Etch-A-Sketch Clock that draws the time and then erases it every minute.

The heelless heel
003shoesdm_468x320.jpg

It looks like a hoax, but apparently these new shoes from Antonio Berardi has a big enough sole to stop you falling on your ass, even though they admit "You cannot wear them for very long". You also have to walk tippy toe Celebs are lining up to get them.

It's only a matter of time before footbinding comes back into vogue.

Food Fight
FoodFight.jpg

Have you guys seen this really creative video on the history of military conflict from World War II on? Different countries are represented by different food items...really original, and a fun little history quiz in the process.

You may need the food key to figure out who's who. Like burgers and sushi are obvious, but I didn't know what goulash was doing in there until I read that it was supposed to be beef stroganoff. And who the hell knows what kimchi looks like.

Culinary difficulties aside, it's really well done. I think my favorite part is the cold war nuclear escalation, and the twin towers collapse is really creepy. You should check it out.

- This has to be the best Christopher Walken impression of all time.
- Got some spare wall? Got an AFX track? Then you've got wall art.
- Remember the Hep A scare at that bar? Was that a Kutcher joke?
- Baby Mama, starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, looks really funny.
- And those same funny ladies can be seen this month in Vanity Fair.
