In honor of my first ever cassette tape.

Yes I'm serious, my introduction to cassette tapes was Weird Al Yankovic's In 3-D.

There, I've said it.

I'm not the only one who can claim a piece of his enduring legacy though. Clearly there are others with a soft spot for the accordion-playing pop-parody superstar too...

Thanks to my cousin for this, without whom I would never have seen this poignant tale of an artist trying to make it in this world. Although this isn't this what VH1 is for?

Alternate Endings

So you already have my take on the big Lost finale, but for those of you who wonder how else they could have finished it, Executive Producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse provided some hints on the post show Jimmy Kimmel Live:

Ever Since, Previously on...

As we wave the checkered flag for Lost this weekend, let's not forget the valiant souls stuck on an abandoned floor in Jimmy Fallon's world.

As you may recall, when we last left them, there was a goldfish, a secret handshake and a man with a plan to build an elevator.

Here's the thrilling, minty fresh, remaining episodes of Late, including the heart-wrenching series finale.

Late. Episode 6.


Late. Episode 7. Series Finale.

What up son?

I know. Two Star Wars posts in one week.

But the force is absolutely with this kid's little Lego recap:



I know more than a few people who are, as of seeing this, thoroughly jealous of this guy's little Jedi brick collection.

Previously on...

With Lost racing towards its big finale in a few weeks, I thought it'd be a good time to whet our appetite for what's to come for our castaways.

Elevator castaways, I mean.

Or at least that's Jimmy Fallon's take on the whole thing.

Late. Episode 1.


Late. Episode 2.


Late. Episode 3.


Late. Episode 4.


Late. Episode 5.

Will they find another floor? What's the deal with the goldfish. What's up with the supernatural facial hair? Keep up here, just don't be... LATE.

Yub nub, eee chop, yub nub.

It's Saturday night, and people tend go do things on Saturday nights, right?

No plans tonight, you say?

I hear ya man. Picking up power converters at Tosche Station just won't cut it tonight, will it?

Hey, how about some karaoke then?

Well sure, I can help you with that.

You better bone up on your yub nubs though...

Attack of the Homophobic Oranges

Forget the Mormons, the real threat to global gays may be as close as your local produce section.

Once you see the spectacle that awaits in the following, MAYBE NOT SAFE FOR WORK, film short from Spain, I promise you'll never look at oranges the same again.



Thanks to Homoneurotic for the heads up on this brilliant film "trailer" that will likely lead to the boycott of innocent Florida produce.

Hapi Honika!

So contrary to what I said in the post immediately below, there are other ways to sing through my little ol' festival of lights than the standard schmaltzy folksy-fests.

It can even be electronica this Hanukkah.

Or something along those lines:



Happy Chanukah everyone!

Frosty the Snowman

What better way to get into the holiday spirit than with an old tv classic?

Say, for example, Frosty the Snowman?

What is that you say? This isn't how your remember it exactly?



The best part is who made it. Finally, a network realizing you don't have to take everything so seriously, especially during the holidays.

Bohemian Rhapsody with Fur

If you're searching for things to be thankful for this year, I find it's hard to go wrong with The Muppets.

Especially when they're back to form kinda channeling Freddie Mercury:



Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

Existential Travel Hub

Next time you complain about having your quart-sized bag examined as you shuffle along through the metal detector, painfully aware of the thoroughy visible hole in your left sock, remind yourself that you could be flying through here:


Prague's Franz Kafka International Named World's Most Alienating Airport

Hydroponic Humor on 9News

A shout out from Jimmy Fallon to the Republic of Boulder...



I kinda sorta expected the worst from this show. But I've caught a bit of it lately, and you know something? The former SNL funny guy is made for this shtick.

Give him some time to grow into his skin, and he'll finally be ready for primetime (or whatever's left for NBC to program by then).

Chag Pesach Sameach

Helping solve the age-old Pesach quandary: How do you split a piece of Matzah in two even pieces without it crumbling apart?

Here's an oldie but goodie...

Holy Kryptonite, It's A Bailout!

You know it's bad out there when the evil henchmen business turns sour...

Farewell to Analog TV

On February 17, 2009 TV goes digital across the United States.

Are you prepared?

This transition may trickier for some. Luckily, help is on the way...

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Plumbers and Six Packs!

With America in a tizzy over plumbers and six packs, leave it to Chelsea Handler to get to the bottom of these pressing political stereotypes:

I have visions of Chelsea and some vodka this weekend. I'm looking forward to it!

The Great Schlep... for those of you related to Jewish swingers in Florida

If you need another way to help out Obama right now, here are some talking points for your bubbe in Boca Raton, or whichever aged Jew you want to convert to the cause in Florida.

WARNING: Sarah Silverman donated her precious campaigning time to this worthy cause, so obviously THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK!
