Snowpocalypse 3: Rise of the Machines

Since Baltimore is slated to receive another 10-20" of snow tonight into tomorrow, I thought now would be as good a time as any to recap some of the names we came up with for the past storm. Feel free to use them as your own.

Bert C., Erin D., K, and I came up with most of these:


-SNOW COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (K's favorite, though it was created by Bert)

-SNOW! MTV RAPS

-EDGAR ALLEN SNOW (A Baltimore favorite)

-SNOW THE HUMANITY!

-VINCENT VAN SNOW

-SNOW MERCY

-POINT OF SNOW RETURN (thus searing the Kansas song "Point of No Return" into my head since Friday)

-SNOWED TO JOY

-SNOW WAY OUT

-SNOW BROTHER WHERE ART THOU?

-QUID PRO SNOW

-SHOELESS SNOW JACKSON (banned from sledding for life)

13 Word Review: Inglourious Basterds

Inglourious Basterds (2009)
Directed by Quentin Tarantino
Starring Brad Pitt

I'm going to just say it: Tarantino's best film. The dialogue was phenomenal.

Up next in the Netflix queue: District 9

Somewhere, Anthony Bourdain is getting a deadbolt for his front door

From time to time, we like to poke fun at people's tattoos around here. Whether it's Popeyes guy or Mortal Kombat man, we all can have a good laugh.

But when the tattoos cross into pictures of people you don't even know? Real people? Yikesssss.

This guy is either:

a.) a chef himself, and fashioned a leg tat with his three heroes: Eric Ripert, Masaharu Morimoto, and Anthony Bourdain

b.) a huge fan of Top Chef, Iron Chef, and No Reservations

c.) a fan of Anthony Bourdain, a man who sort of looks like a "Deer Hunter" era Christopher Walken, and a half man-half bulldog.

I guess it's up to us to decide. Anyone have a tattoo of another human being, and, if not, who WOULD you get?

OMC singer Pauly Fuemana dies (Insert joke here)

Man things have gotten heavy around here, haven't they? First JD Salinger, and now this? I feel like my world has been turned upside-down.

Turns out he died after a short illness. He was 40.

While this is sad, you know when OMC's "How Bizarre" filled the airwaves in 1995, it crushed. Fourth-grade Brad was all like "Hell yeah this song is amazing, it makes me want to slick back my hair and cruise down the freeway in the hot, hot sun."

Fun fact: Fuemana was from New Zealand. Yeah, let that one sink in for a minute.

Anyway, enjoy this video. Alright, enjoy his ONLY video. RIP HOMEY.

RIP JD Salinger

Apparently JD Salinger has died.

Although I didn't like "Catcher in the Rye" as much as every one said I should, his literary talent was immense, and his influence just as much so.

I also admired his ability to just sort of disappear for the last thirty years or whatever, just giving a middle finger to the rest of the world.

Anyway, good luck Mr. Salinger.
