Random note before we get started.. watched this again last night, and just can't get enough of it. Berman is the man.
"just a little drop"
1. Join the Club
For those of you, like me, who watch (a lot of) TV... and especially with so many awesome, and complex shows on these days.. I like to get onlin the next day and read reviews/recaps etc. But something I noticed yesterday while googling "walking dead recap" every newspaper or news outlet now seems to pick up on the big shows and recap the episodes, but most of them are just a list of the events. First this character did this, then this happened. That's great if I didnt actually watch, but if you want some more in depth coverage, then I highly recommend you check out the AV Club's TV secion. They pretty much have someone covering every show, and they don't just recap it. They review it and essentially write essays on it. It helps you digest the events as opposed to just reviewing them. Take this week's review of Homeland for example. Great stuff.
2. Who's the Boss now, Bitch?
Speaking of TV shows.. never got into Boss, but I hear it was Bawse.. so surprised that it was axed. Im sure it has something to do with Kelsey Grammar's notoriously cheery disposition..
Kelsey Grammer's critically acclaimed Starz show 'Boss' canceled
Was thinking of this last night while watching an old Community on DVR (the halloween/psycho analysis test episode.. awesome!) But how do networks always fuck up the great shows? Community is like no other sitcom on tv, so of course, NBC is fucking it up. Here's to hoping AMC and Showtime never fall into the trap of their peers.
Starz is canceling Kelsey Grammer’s Boss.
After two seasons on the air, the network has elected to conclude the drama series. Boss
was critically well-regarded, though rather grim and low rated. It
earned Grammer a Golden Globe for his portrayal of a vindictive Chicago
Mayor who was increasingly impaired by a neurological disease.
Police and zoo employees found a patas monkey that was seriously injured at Zoo Boise on Saturday. The monkey died.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Michael J. Watkins, 22, faces two felony charges, burglary and grand theft
He has injuries on his upper torso, the cause of which is unclear
The monkey died of blunt force trauma to the head and neck
(CNN) -- Police in Boise, Idaho, said late Monday
that they have made an arrest in connection with a break-in at a local
zoo and the death of a patas monkey there.
Michael J. Watkins, 22, faces two felony charges, burglary and grand theft.
"I speak for many of us
in the police department and the community who were angered and outraged
over this senseless crime," said Boise Police Chief Michael Masterson.
"As usual, it was a combination of a citizen tip and good police work
that led us to the arrest in this case."
Ok, seriously, it's a joke that this became America's Most Wanted.. BUT.. who the fuck just goes around bashing in the heads of a defenseless little monkey. There's plenty of Humans out there that deserve to die. You're better than that bro.
As someone who was forced to sit thru these movies while babysitting my lil brothers, lemme say it couldn't have happened to a nicer franchise. Cowabunga, bitches!

According to a Berlin-based sex therapist, out of the 60 million people viewing adult films on the world's largest free porn website on a daily basis, two thirds of them are watching at work, the Austrian Independent reports.
Once associated with seedy hotel pay-per-view and grungy peep show booths, porn is now a global phenomenon easily available online, and according to a Berlin-based sex therapist, a lot of it is being watched in the workplace.
Why on Earth would you watch Porn at work.. when you can read The Daily Saw?
News Corporation, parent company of Fox Sports, announced Tuesday that it has acquired 49 percent of the YES Network. ESPN reported the deal on Monday, citing sources who were briefed by the network's board of directors.
Final details are still being worked out, but News Corp will buy its shares from the Yankees' holding company Yankees Global Enterprises as well as the other network investors, Goldman Sachs, Providence Equity and NJ Holdings, a group led by former Brooklyn Nets owners Louis Katz and Ray Chambers.
And the write-up from Phil's autobiography... Jerry
says to Phil of The Allman Brothers Band on their way to this show:
"make sure you check these guys out... they're kinda like us... they jam
hard." Phil was startled when he heard Duane's slide during Dark Star... Jerry hadn't told him anyone would sit in. Gregg "slides onto the organ bench" during Spanish Jam. "Peter
Green from Fleetwood Mac plugs in just as I'm pulling the music into
the dominant minor ... he and Duane seem more comfortable in this
space." After
the show, "I walk outside -- it's daylight, and snow is falling gently
on the streets of New York... I grab Bob and Jerry in a group embrace:
This is what it's all about."
12. Welcome to Worcestah
And finally, continuing our look back at one of the most epic runs of epicness in the history of epic...
After the funkiest rock and roll show the world had ever seen, and a day of turkey stuffing (get your mind out of the gutter) the Phab Phour rolled into one of their favorite haunts, the Worcester Centrum. (yes thats not a typo.)
Deciding to pick up right where they left off, the blew minds right out of the gate:
My Two Cents:
-1st set kicks off with what is still till this day one of my favorite opener combos of Curtain > YEM. As an added bonus, they quickly dump out of the vocal jam and into I Didn't Know... no one knew they would be that far gone just 3 songs in. The funk instrumental BlackEyed Katy, also an instant classic (later known as Moma Dance). Umass alum (tho maybe he didnt graduate) Chris Karavelo probably described it best when he said, "I just don't understand that song. I don't get what's happening." And he meant that in the best way possible.
-2nd set, like many that year, may not look like much on paper.. being only 5 songs and all.. but as any phan will tell you, that's where the magic happens. Anytime you have tunes jammed out past the point of recognition, it's good times... and this was just the warm up to a wild, jammed out weekend. A nasty, dark Timber Ho kicked off the weirdness factor, as only a sick 97 Ghost could capitalize fully on... Solid set, with some solid jamming, and the classic ups and downs and wild turns that only Phish can deliver... Not quite as hot as the Hartfid show two days before, but definitely the best time you could have on a Friday night in Worcester... (until the following year)...
