Just got back from NYC and then San Diego for FINISHING THE GAME. What an amazing response! Everybody was so excited (especially in my hometown) and San Diego (I keep thinking about Anchorman when I talk about it). What a fun time in Southern Califo

I'm in New York, and I love it here. My family lives (for now) right near the IFC theatre on sixth and west forth, so, after a meeting in the morning I went to the theatre to see... whatever. I saw THE LAST WINTER (really good), and was very ha

I don't watch horror movies, but for those of you who do...

McCaleb — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 22:24:23 GMT

My top horror movies (most I rarely see, because I am afraid while I watch them) : The Shining, Jacob's Ladder, I Spit on Your Grave (unwatchable, though terrifying), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (never want to see it again), Scream, The Innocents, The Bir

Nazis are bad

If this doesn't make you not want to eat fast food, nothing will: "I used to work at a funeral home, and one night I was down in the morgue, when I was summoned to the crematorium. When I got there, I saw the embalmer (who)... told me to run downstairs

I love Pinto Beans; Hello again Larry "I'm not gay even though I solicit sex from men in public restrooms and support anti-gay legislation" Craig

Larry Craig may not resign. Jesus. Pinto beans, eggs and salsa - what's not to like? "At three PM, when your energy is low, Robert Goulet appears, and messes with your stuff." This is the single finest commercial on television right now. Bobby Goule...
