Sort of.. nice work here:
At last night's Rangers game against the Boston Bruins (go Rangers!), Madison Square Garden organist and phan Chad Dinzes performed the hockey-friendly Phish song "It's Ice"—according to Hidden Track, this was the debut of his cover. Note, the sound doesn't kick in until about the 7-second mark:
Does this guy do Bar Mitzvahs?
2. I'm Sure This Is Really Funny
If you've seen any of the movies. I have not. But perhaps you have? Either way, huge Giammatti fan. Too bad for him he'll always be known as "Pig Vomit"
In case the public was uncertain whether Paul Giamatti is a certifiable sex god, all rumors were dispelled yesterday with this video uploaded by Vulture. Prompted by Julie Klausner, Giamatti performs scenes from several well-known romantic films and absolutely shatters Hollywood’s feeble understanding of what a real man is. The star we’ve all grown so used to seeing play “apoplectic weasel” reads sides for the male leads in climactic scenes from Twilight, You’ve Got Mail, and even Magic Mike. Any married lady thinking about watching this video should take a long, hard look at her wedding ring before pressing play.
3. New Coen Bros. Movie
Hm. Not so sure about this one. If it wasn't by the Coen Brothers, I wouldn't even consider it.. since it is, maybe I'll check it out on netflix..
Bloggy Goodness: New Coen Brothers Film About A Folk Singer
Earlier today the trailer for a new movie called Inside Llewyn Davis came out. This film was created by the Coen Brothers and tells the tale of a fictional folk singer from the Greenwich Village scene which stars Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake and John Goodman. According to Rolling Stone, the film is loosely based on the life of Dave Van Ronk. No release date has been set yet.
Here’s the trailer featuring a Bob Dylan soundtrack…

4. Fun With Gifs
While these Obama ones are great..
This is perhaps the best of all time.. not sure why I find it so funny.. but I've probably watched it a dozen times already
5. Kerry's Flashback
I know, I know.. I hate to spoil this area with "real news" but awesome look back at Kerry's 1st trip to the Foreign Relations Committee.
Kerry comes full circle
6. Super Bowl Alert!
Not that I really want to watch..but now that there might not be any wings? Not sure it's even worth it..
Chicken wing shortage threatens Super Bowl Sunday
First it was bacon, now it's chicken wings. With less than two weeks to go before the big game, football fans may find it a bit harder to find their favorite Super Bowl snack.The National Chicken Council released a report that said the demand for wings this year is at “an all-time high” due to decreased wing production caused by the high cost of corn and feed prices. Wings are currently the highest priced portion of a chicken and cost $2.11 a pound in the Northeast, up 12 percent from last year.
The organization has lowered the estimated number of wings to be consumed during Super Bowl weekend to 1.23 billion wing segments, 12.3 million less than last year. That's about 1 percent, says the council.
Wait, there are wings in this picture?

8. Get Your DVR's Ready
Not sure if a show with Les Claypool and Dean Ween could be considered "Reality TV" as they're pretty far removed from it.. but this could be a winner.
Dean Ween & Les Claypool To Star In Reality Show
We’ve run a number of stories over the years about Mickey “Dean Ween” Melchiondo’s love of fishing and second career as a charter boat captain. Today, comes word that Deaner will be teaming up with Les Claypool of Primus soon to shoot a reality show that will “fuse sportfishing with music and comedy.”For the new show, which will be produced by South Park masterminds Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Deaner and Claypool will bring celebrity guests out on the water for fishing trips. In addition to starring in the program, Melchiondo will also provide the soundtrack.
Deaner explains the concept of the show a little further…
“The show is personality-driven,” says Melchiondo, 42, a Trenton native. “The idea is to get the show on after Anthony Bourdain or ‘Tosh.O.’ It’s a fishing show that you do not have to be into fishing to enjoy.”
Not that I believe in Fishing with an "F"... but I'm all in.

Looks like we've got some new bars to try around town!
Gone Country: Boston’s Best Southern-Style Bars
January 17, 2013 6:00 AM
The modern country scene featuring such names as Tim McGraw, Trace
Atkins and Kenny Chesney is bigger and more popular than ever, and what
many older generations considered true country (think Johnny Cash, Dolly
Parton and Hank Williams) has endured to find a new audience so many
years later. With the branching out of country music has come an
expansion in country bars and theme nights throughout the area. These
are the best ways to go country any day of the week.
--------
Is it just me, or is it strange that a bar called "British Beer Company" made the list. Shows you what us northern folk know about the dirty south.
10. Groundbreaking New Research
Seriously.. what is up with all these stupid studies that prove what we all already know...
Study: smokers have shorter life expectancy than nonsmokers
Smokers lose at least one decade of life expectancy over non-smokers on average according to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine. NBC’s Brian Williams reports.
Lying becomes automatic with practice, study says
You can get better at lying with more practice, a recent study suggests.Researchers found that with a little training, people can learn to tell a lie more automatically and efficiently. It gets easier for folks to repeat the lies and becomes harder for them to differentiate deception from telling the truth.
Notice, both of those are from NBC... great work!

From our Honey Nut Cheerious correspondant.. nice write up on KG in the NYTimes today.. Tonight's game should be a lot of fun.
Either With Him or Against Him
Kevin Garnett Is an Unpredictable Force for the Celtics
By HARVEY ARATON
Published: January 23, 2013
Nobody knows what Kevin Garnett will say or do when Carmelo Anthony steps onto the floor in Boston on Thursday night, when the Knicks and the Celtics
meet for the first time since Garnett’s on-court posturing turned
Anthony into a backstage vigilante early this month in New York.
Kevin Garnett and Carmelo Anthony were involved in a dispute during and after an early January game.
That is the point. Garnett is as unpredictable as he is emotional. He is
as calculating as he is quick-witted. If that sounds contradictory,
Garnett has always come across as a little stranger than the average
professional basketball player, and at least that much sharper.

12. Say It Ain't Sosa
From our Jamba Juice correspondent..
Former slugger Sammy Sosa used a live webcast Wednesday to indicate he is open to reconnecting with the Chicago Cubs, and said the team should have retired his jersey number "a long time ago."
"This is a good number that I carried for 14 years (actually 13) in Chicago, and I represented that number, so that number should have been retired a long time ago."

“"I think that is something that I'm looking for," Sosa said of the prospect of having his No. 21 retired. "That is something I want to happen. I'm kind of surprised it didn't happen before, but time will determine everything. When that happens, I would be more comfortable and more happy. I will be there with all my family.This is a good number that I carried for 14 years (actually 13) in Chicago, and I represented that number, so that number should have been retired a long time ago.
” -- Ex-Cubs OF Sammy Sosa
"This is a good number that I carried for 14 years (actually 13) in Chicago, and I represented that number, so that number should have been retired a long time ago."
the best part of the story isnt the crazy statements from Sosa..it's the last line.. Spoiler alert:
"Sosa is a managing member of the Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Injex 21, which specializes in injections that don't use needles."
You just can't make this stuff up.
