Wicked

Good thing I spent all that time building out KohlerHome.com for my parents this month. If today’s housing data is any marker, and knowing my dad’s lack of urgency to sell for anything but a great/fair/pre-2008 price, it’ll probably be a bit before they sell:

There Will Be Blood

There Will Be Blood is one of my favorite movies to have come out in the last few years. I’ve watched it three times and come away with a different take each time I watch. It’s a complex epic, but the basic premise? An early 20th century oil man will stop at nothing to [...]

Amazing Aniston

So, as most of you know, I was went to a bachelor party in New Orleans last weekend.

I flew on Delta, connecting through Memphis. It’s the first time I’ve connected, and not flown direct, on a domestic flight in over four years. And for good reason. First, I hate it. Second, it’s [...]

Worth a Thousand Words

I don’t know the story behind this picture. I don’t really care. The guy is watching Glenn Beck while surrounded by a huge cache of guns all while draped in an American Flag, so it perpetuates all the stereotypes I’m looking for. That’s good enough to make it on this blog.

Or maybe he’s [...]

A New Weight Loss Technique

Sounds like it’s straight out of Fight Club:

A gang in the remote Peruvian jungle has been killing people for their fat, police charged Thursday, draining it from their corpses and offering it on the black market for use in cosmetics.

The suspects claim there is a black market for it with European cosmetic [...]

It’s Not Polite to Stare

The Good: I’ve had ‘Frost/Nixon’ on DVD from Netflix for about a month, but never got around to watching it because it sounded like a cool idea when I ordered it, but once I got it in the mail, I wasn’t really interested in watching it. I was tired last night, so I threw [...]

Communications 101

By Wahl, on October 28, 2009, at 11:57 am | Comments are closed

Three of my favorite types of communication are 1) sarcasm, 2) rhetorical pauses, and 3) passive aggressivism.

That’s why I’d like to thank Sweisen Scoat the G.O.A.T. for bringing this passive aggressive note from Arnold Schwarzenegger to the California Assembly.

Arnold’s camp is just saying that it is a ‘coincidence’, but I’m not [...]

Wordplay

So, apparently Google has these cool new social games you can play with your friends right on your homepage. Gberger introduced me to Scrabble, and we just finished our inaugural game. It was close, but, unlike stupid chess against lucky Rubin, I’m undefeated!

If there are any other takers who would like to [...]

Speed??!!!

So, I was reading an article about Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming movie, Inglourious Basterds, and happened to stumble across a video of Quentin listing his favorite 20 movies that have come out since he started directing in 1992.

Battle Royale Anything Else Audition Blade Boogie Nights Dazed & Confused Dogville Fight Club Fridays The [...]

Drunken Goodness

‘Dude, it’s kind of weird that I have to ask you twice to put pants on.’

I went to see The Hangover last night, a week after I proclaimed it would probably be the movie of the year.

Going to a 7:20 movie on a Monday night in Kohler, Wisconsin, one would expect [...]
