The Hangover: a true story for many men

I already posted the movie trailer for what looks like a hilarious movie, called "The Hangover." Turns out, the studio is so confident this will be a hit, they're working on a sequel, even though The Hangover isn't in theatres until June 5th. Here's the second trailer, which looks even funnier:

'Hangover' Theatrical Trailer @ Yahoo! Video

How can you go wrong with the creators of Old School and Road Trip? Isn't this "Old School: Young Fathers Edition" anyway? Any guy who has had to negotiate with his wife to go to a bachelor party knows that this movie could potentially be a documentary! (I unfortunately lost my negotiation to go to my buddy's BP in Vegas. Sorry Ted. Tear.)

I agree it's good to see a comedy not involving Adam Sandler/Will Farrell/Seth Rogen in any form. (even though Frank the Tank is a legend)

Wii makes better athletes?

Nope, it doesn't. Especially when the Nintendo people are in essence "dumbing down" the Wii controller technology so losers at home can feel like they're pros.

Zooey: ultimate Manic Pixie Dream Girl?

I gotta admit I dig Zooey Deschanel too. Even though the Hitchhiker's movie sucked, she was perfect casting for Trillian.

Here's some movies I might have watched if she'd been in them. BTW, the Manic Pixie Dream Girl is "that bubbly, shallow cinematic creature that exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures."

Yep, that's her.

Don't know when I'll find time to watch these, but it could be fun to relive some of the internet's best viral moments in video.

Theriot the bloodsucker

This posting at the Cubs Brickyard is from December 2008, but I thought it was pretty funny. The Riot is a vampire.

Zambrano hates Wrigley

Obviously, Big Z hasn't heard the phrase "don't sh*t where you eat." He's one of the most popular pitchers today because of Cubs fans (there are plenty of aces in the game who don't get the cheers and jersey sales he gets...) and yet wants Wrigley gone. In favor of another generic, albeit top notch, professional stadium? He needs to visit the Cell more often.

Cubs ace asks for a new ballpark

“You come into a ballpark like this and you see great things...You wish that Chicago’d build a new stadium for the Cubs,” he said.

Cubs manager Lou Piniella couldn’t agree less with his opening-day starter. The former Yankees outfielder and manager was enchanted by the new [Yankees] ballpark in the Bronx, but can’t wait to return to Chicago for the first home game on April 13.

“I don’t see why,” Piniella said when asked if the Cubs need a new stadium. “Wrigley’s got its own uniqueness. There’s no question the facilities need to be redone but that’s going to happen. My favorite time of year is when the ivy turns green. It’s really a great environment to play a ballgame,” he said.

Sweet Lou knows how to play the game. And by "play the game" I mean making Cubs fans happy by telling us exactly what we want to hear. He's right about Wrigley needing some updating...the old gal is falling apart and our team deserves better (the below photo is their dugout pisser). I get they're athletes and not glamour boys, but this is pretty rough looking. I don't want to know what the buckets are for...

And while we're on the subject, any Wrigley renovation can't remove the mens rooms' troughs. If you're a sports fan, you're aware of how bad timeout/halftime/quarter-end bathroom breaks are with urinals. Lines barely move and dudes end up pissing in the sinks. I'm just saying it happens. Don't judge. Guys, if you've been to Wrigley, you've been amazed at how fast troughs make it to get in and get out. They can get rid of the handwashing station though. Seriously, it does kind of look like another urinal and accidents happen. Hey, I said don't judge.

Ladies, you're just screwed at sporting events...your lines are always long. You should probably invest in the "Go Girl."

You've been gone from our lives too long, Cubbies. Play ball!

To my Easter Peeps:

HAPPY EASTER WEEK!!

Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America For The Purpose Of Making Heterosexual Male

To quote Borat, "It's nice!" This is even more offensive than I thought it would be. Awesome. There is going to be some huge backlash over this, if it can even get an R rating past the MPAA. Considering how conservative they are about anything gay, even if it's for humor now that Borat got by them, that may be tough.

And these are only brief clips! There's more hilarity still being filmed/recorded.

Can you tell I'm on a South Park kick? From the Season 13 episode titled, "Margaritaville."

Stan's dad: man of crazy action and words we shouldn't utter

I can't embed this video, but it shows the true genius of Randy Marsh (aka Stan's dad).

Cutler in Chicago: the beginning is the end is the beginning...

That's kind of my state of mind right now. Basically in a flash, the Bears traded Orton and two consecutive #1 draft picks for Jay Cutler. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Yes, Chicago is way overdue for a dynasty (OK, I'll settle for franchise...) quarterback, but Da Bears have a knack for putting all their eggs footballs in golden-boy, students of the game washed-up in one season QB's. Grossman, Stewart, McNown. Da Bears also have a knack for dealing so-so QB's to teams that later get good results. Hutchinson, Harbaugh. Even if I ignore Cutler's past antics of being a crybaby and saying he's better than Elway, Chicago gave up a lot to get him here. I hope (REALLY HOPE) he's worth the gamble.

This clip sums up my thoughts right now exactly. Let's hope Stan's dad is right (0:45 second mark)!

April Fools!

I'm posting this a day late. Guess I'm the April fool.

"Honey, I'm having a great time golfing this weekend. Thanks for letting me go on this trip."

On a funny note, I had to post this pic I found when searching for an "extreme golf" photo. Extreme, meaning bodacious ta-tas, I guess.

But can you take a Mulligan?

Here's a cool blog post about the most difficult tee-off in golf. But hey, might as well swing to win a $1,000,000!
