  I am a girl, which means that when I feel the need to scratch my lady bits, I retire to a private corner and go to town. Dudes, however, or not as polite. As I have collected a copious amount of guy friends over the years who tend to "move things around" on a regular basis, I foresee this Gentleman's Ballscratcher being a gift I give a lot. In fact, if the makers of this particular item

POUR SOME SUGAR ON ME: A DIY Music Lyric Plate That You Can Slop Some Meat On

I'm a music junkie who constantly has either a record player going (yes, I still listen to albums) or an iPod playing at all times. So naturally, when a music-related craft entered my field of vision, I was all over it like Keith Richards on whatever drug is available. First and foremost, this craft (which requires nothing more than painter's tape, white ceramic plates and a paint marker

  The Raid is an Indonesian action movie about a SWAT team who infiltrates a tenement building in Jakarta to remove a ruthless drug kingpin. This is exactly the same only it's made with claymation cats. I think I like the claymation characters better. Source: Obvious Winner

  MTV is working on turning the Scream franchise into a new weekly series that will terrorize everyone watching. At least that's what the company is aiming for. Producer Tony DiSanto and Liz Gately are working together to find a scribe to write the pilot. It's unknown whether original writers Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson will have any part in the show. I think it's unlikely, but anything

This new trend of ridiculously-flavored vodkas has finally reached a pinnacle of gross deliciousness with the Glazed Donut Vodka flavor created by 360 Vodka (which claims to be the first earth-friendly eco vodka). Now, I'm not saying that if I had to choose between a bottle of rubbing alcohol and a glazed donut-flavored vodka to suck down on a hot summer's day, I would choose the alky's

I LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU: My Top Five Favorite Anti-Drug PSAs

When I was a teen my mother lived in fear that I would get caught up in hardcore drugs and continually bombarded me with literature that went into great detail about how if I chose drugs I would end up selling my body for a joint. To her credit, by the time I was in my late teens and had worn her down with a superior level of delinquency, her only anti-drug advice had become "Just stay with

The X-Cutioner’s Song—Put That One on Your iPod Shuffle

Since the Mutant Massacre, the various books in the X-Men corner of the Marvel Universe have repeatedly found themselves united by a common thread to tell a single story so massive, so monumental and earth-shattering that it just simply could not be contained to a single title. Or so Marvel’s hype machine would like you to believe. But that hyperbolic into exemplifies so much of comics in



A BRIEF HISTORY OF VIDEO GAMES

I am lucky in that I was alive and kicking during the start of the video game console revolution. Channel F, Telstar, Intellivision, Atari...you name it, we had it. And by God, we played it. Which is why, when I watch my nephews play with their games, I wish I could convey the awesomeness that I felt slipping in a game cartridge (the size of my palm) into my console, flipping the switch in

Last year, T.J. and I prepared to start blogging about Saved by the Bell, that most august of '90s preteen programs. Sadly, the project fell through due to unforeseen circumstances, but the germ of that idea evolved into this column. But when you consider that T.J. is probably the foremost authority on Saved by the Bell this side of Chuck Klosterman--perhaps even more so--it seems a waste not

Well, I guess we're finally at the end of civilization folks. One Dutch artists turns his dead cat Orville into a helicopter and then the universe begins to collapse. I had a lot of plans for this year too. My first book was coming out, I started to lose all the beer weight I put on over the last decade, and I was going to finally clean my basement. All of it gone, because this douche

In Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, distraught customers call upon the fictitious Lacuna Company to delete their unwanted painful memories of ex-lovers and dearly departed pets. If such a company actually existed, I’d be first in line to have them wipe out all traces of a handful of movies so disruptive to the cinematic space-time continuum they undermine and irreparably tarnish the

 Tyler Sullivan is a boy with a story to tell. After attending a speech with President Obama at the Honeywell factory in Minnesota (his father was introducing the president), Obama spent a few moments chatting with him and, upon learning that Tyler was missing school in order to hear the President, Obama whipped out a Presidential notepad and wrote up a note so he wouldn't get in trouble at
