…suprisingly, they’re not really stinky… Just worn to the nub.
I purchased these bad boys in 2000 in NYC… it was a flourishing time back then, my friends…the Roaring Zaps, they were called. A pre-911 world was prospering…money was falling from the sky and everyone could afford a mansion in the Carribbean, a gas-sucking Lexus SUV [...]

Ok — I gotta admit — I nerded it up a bit last night after watching Lost — there was a moment in the show where they showed this map of the entire complex / hatch area, so I of course had to take immediate advantage of the ole [...]

Companies love to have their product thrown in front of the camera and producers love the money they pay for it… a Nike sneaker here, a Dominos pizza there… it’s all chump change compared to the feature-length Starbucks commercial coming to theaters AND starring Tom Hanks called “How Starbucks Saved My Life.” Gus Van Sant directs.

Being a guy just got better — designer Marcel Neundorfer crated this interactive installation where “accuracy” determines how well one performs.

Carrie’s mom and husband popped into town this weekend from TN to say hello…Friday night we hosted a DIY pizza party, complete with dough-rolling, topping-tossing and flour everywhere with them, Mama Z, Bill and Tim H. — then hit up the National Zoo on Saturday — which was a far more successful trip than our [...]

Last night I met up with C at Pizzeria Paradisio for some post-work, pre-movie drinks and ‘zza in G’town. They do it right at the Paradisio, brick-oven style. The best in G’town…
We moseyed on over to Loews in G’town to catch “Thank You For Smoking” — a highly enjoyable and funny flick (8.7 Zaps) about a lobbyist for [...]

 
“24: The Game” releases this week…here’s just a small preview of some dialogue within it:
“Jack, we’ve got to rescue the Princess now!”
“THERE’S NOT ENOUGH TIME!”
“But Jack, you’re disobeying a direct order from - ”
“I’m not going to have this on my hands, Chloe — Wario is our ONLY chance of finding the wizard’s potion and [...]

“24″ always has some level of unbelievability — Jack Bauer never pees, Chloe can access a super-mega-ultra secret network within seconds, CTU is suddenly free of nerve gas after blowing the air conditioners for 10 minutes, Kim Bauer gets stuck in a cougar trap for an entire episode (season 3, i think it was)… yesterday two [...]
