I’m 46% more likely to die and other good news

Yep, I woke up and found out that I was 46% more likely to die due to my sleep apnea this morning. It’s pretty hard to achieve much with your day after you awake to that. That mask contraption above is a CPAP machine, which is really the only thing doctors have for you if …

The lengths Tim Tebow will go for Jesus

That’s supposedly Florida QB Tim Tebow’s girlfriend. I just heard a clip of a reporter asking Tebow if he was saving himself for marriage. He and the other reporters all started to giggle.

Ken Wahl vs Corinne Alphen: It’s tearing me apart

Wiseguy’s Ken Wahl in the Poor House Do they have to sound so happy and amused by it? This really hits home for me. Wiseguy is one of my all time favorite shows, and I really feel sad about what happened to Ken Wahl. He was in a motorcycle accident that ended his career and …

Time magazine’s inane top 10 electric guitarist list

Time’s top 10 Supposedly, this is a tribute to Les Paul. It’s pretty hard to fuck up a top ten list this badly, you have to really work hard. Putting Slash at number 2 is a good start. Leaving off Eddie Van Halen gets you very close to home. This entry though seals the deal. …

76-77 Topps tallboy basketball cards are the bomb

Bill Simmons just made a passing mention of these and noted that they deserved a column of their own (this isn’t it). Nevertheless, they were like three times as large as normal baseball cards and have always been my favorite sports cards of all time. I still have about 50 and if you want to …

Eddie Murphy: Opie Cunningham is a selfish bastard

One of my all time favorites from Eddie Murphy’s epic time on Saturday Night Live was him interviewing Ron Howard. I especially love the “You made a movie about pimps and there ain’t no brothers in it? I don’t know whether to thank you or punch you in the mouth!” line. [Open on “FOCUS ON …

The insanely hot Jennifer Aniston

I always want to feel sorry and empathize with Jennifer Aniston’s loneliness and pain, and then yet another hot photo spread of her comes out.
