This dog is like a train wreck. He's horrifying, but I can't look away. He's either the most adorable rabid puppy, or just a stupid ugly dog. I keep expecting him to explode but he won't. I wish he would.

...because every holiday is a reason to make blatant references to Star Wars.UPDATE
Apparently, what was considered a "normal" Halloween a long time ago was pretty freakin' scary. Behold the horrible proof...
I think I die a little inside every time I look at this picture. Almost like it's eating my soul. Enjoy!
If you've never seen the original "Cuppy Cake" video, check it out here. If you're a girl, you'll find it utterly adorable.
This kid, however, looks like he devoured that little girl and stole her voice like Ursula in the Little Mermaid. It's a little creepy but worth the 44 seconds it takes to watch. Remember, that is not his voice!
For the love of all that is holy, please do not go to this site. Okay, I changed my mind, please go so I'm not the only person who has seen this "It's Gross and It's Mine!" colon cleansing contest recap. Please don't ask me how I stumbled upon this mess. Even if I remembered I wouldn't admit it but I for sure wasn't Googling "nasty poo snake in a vegetable steamer" but somehow that's what I got. If you have ever cleansed or ever think about cleansing your colon please do not remove it from the bowl and take pictures of it. If you must, call your roommate, wife or someone else in to look at it then dispatch of the filth. No visual record need be kept for such a momentous accomplishment as an unusual bowel movement. I swear it looks like these peoples intestines are shedding skin like the most disgusting snakes you've ever seen (or eaten).
Oh, and sorry if you're just about to eat or, heaven forbid, were eating while reading this.
Okay, remember my post about monkeys controlling robots with their minds?
Get this...
A group of crazy Brit scientists from Reading University have figured out how to literally give a robot a brain. Okay, so it's not a brain per se, but rather a neuron cocktail of electronic signals. But they are authentic rat brain neurons. Here's the scoop on the robot brain:
This is no ordinary robot control system - a plain old microchip connected
to a circuit board. Instead, the controller nestles inside a small pot
containing a pink broth of nutrients and antibiotics. Inside that pot, some
300,000 rat neurons have made - and continue to make - connections with each
other.
As they do so, the disembodied neurons are communicating, sending
electrical signals to one another just as they do in a living creature. We know
this because the network of neurons is connected at the base of the pot to 80
electrodes, and the voltages sparked by the neurons are displayed on a computer
screen.
Thee neuron-guided robots are now pros at "not bumping into things" thanks to their brain juice. Somewhere the is a rat missing 300,000 neurons and running into all sorts of crap.
I'm all for science but let's stop giving animals control over robots. It's about time they started working on human powered robots. Although, I'm pretty sure that not many animals don't have aspirations of world domination or genocide. So, let's be sure to put the human test subject through a very thorough background check and psych evaluation because...you never know.

So, when I was a little kid I wanted to be Mr. T. Never mind that I was 6 years old, scrawny and white. I had official, store-bought Mr. T jewelry that I wore proudly and I pitied the fool frequently. I never had time for no Jibba Jabba. I was listening to 98 KUPD on the radio today and heard mention that Mr. T had made a Snickers commercial that got yanked off the air in the UK. Watch the commercial…
Yes, that was Kirby Heyborne of LDS movie fame getting absolutely owned by none other than B.A. Baracus and his Snickers gatling gun. The reason this got pulled off the air in the UK is because a lot of gays thought Kirby was of their "persuasion" and saw it as Mr. T gunning down one of their own with chocolatey nougat confections. Oh, the Horror!! I've watched the BBC, there's a lot worse things than Kirby Heyborne speedwalking and appearing fruity.
Plus, we all know that he’s just a speed walker and it’s 100% impossible to not look gay while speed walking. We also know it’s 100% hilarious when Mr. T drives through a friggin house just to shoot Kirby Heyborne with a barrage of Snickers bars.
Classic.
And for those of you wondering about the origin of the Snickers gun…wonder no more.
If you’ve never heard Brian Regan talk about cranberries getting into all the other juices, go here first. This post should make a little more sense after you’ve watched. (It’s toward the end of the clip at about 3:40 but watch it all because it's awesome.)
Timbaland.
Those of you hip to the current music scene should already know where I’m going with this. Timbaland (born Timothy Z. Mosley) is a music producer and, from what I can tell, has to be in at least 75% of every song produced by him or pretty much anybody. I give him props for being a great producer. Heck, I’d let him produce my band’s CD (if we were well-known) but I can’t help but think he’d try to elbow his way into actually performing on at least a few tracks.
Take One Republic’s “Apologize” for instance. I’m really not a fan of the song and I’m pretty sure it’s because of the intro. The song starts out soft and nice but then Timbaland, who produced the album, has to throw in his “Eh…Eh…Eh”. He couldn’t resist. I can only image what really happened. One Republic has been working hard recording and finishes up the song. They leave the studio and come back the next day to hear the final cut. Timbaland prefaces the song telling them he “added a little something extra” and that it’s “off the hook” or whatever. Timbaland hits play and the song starts just as they imagined it, then, all of a sudden, there’s some crappy voice saying “eh…eh….eh” that’s not supposed to be there. They stop playback and ask what that is. Timbaland proudly states, “That’s me, dawg! It’s pimp, right?” In their head they want to yell at him for completely ruining the beginning of a potentially good song. But fearing the wrath of their producer and jeopardizing their first major release, they tell him that it’s “dope” or whatever. What a price to pay. Of course this probably never happened but it’s how it all goes down in my head.
I’m okay with Timbaland performing with some artists and I even really like it sometimes. Here are some examples of artists Timbaland has performed with that I’m okay with:
-Justin Timberlake
-Nelly Furtado
-The Pussycat Dolls
-Aaliyah (i still love this song!)
Here are some artists he’s worked with and ended up on the album that I’m not okay with. He just doesn’t belong with these guys:
-One Republic
-The Hives
-Duran Duran (yes, THE Duran Duran)
And here are a few names he’s slated to produce that you know he’ll screw up at least one song by “performing” with the artist/band:
-The Jonas Brothers (not that I really care)
-Linkin Park
-Chris Cornell (potentially huge train wreck or great album)
Why don't you back off, Timbaland. "Why don't you take your sales trophy and have a vacation."
