Lazy Friday- I Love All Of You
Friday, August 25th, 2006It’s been real folks.
Honestly, for everyone that’s come to the site over the last week I hope you enjoyed it on some level and to those who were only here for the discussion about The Writer And Blog Which Must Not Be Named you can expect the same level of off kilter witticisms in everything […]
Fresh Scampi
Friday, August 25th, 2006It’s been a crazy week and there is really only one way to unwind… Scampi. Yes, me and Matt are back in a big fucking way and this time we are tackling the contreversial topic of Time Travel. I know, I know it is kind of a hot button issue what with all of the […]
The Amazing Race (Relations Clusterfuck)
Friday, August 25th, 2006Alec at SteelerBlog.com lets me write about the Steelers. When Alec wants to say something about the news media, he has a home here at MBF. We’re cool like that. Here is a background story about this. This was originally posted on his site…
It’s not very often I go off-topic here at SteelerBlog, but I’m […]
So Who Plays The Daniel Stern Role?
Friday, August 25th, 2006Time reveals this morning that the kidnapping of a FoxNews reporter and freelance cameraman (you know, the one nobody is talking about) is pretty much the 1996 basketball fanatic/false imprisonment farce Celtic Pride.
You remember, a couple of rabid Celtic fans decide to kidnap a vainglorious, yet supremely talented, Utah Jazz forward until after a playoff […]

The Way We Were
Thursday, August 24th, 20061997 was a simple time, we made simple movies, laughed at simple jokes. We lived simple lives unblemished by the sinewy specter of terrorism’s boner looming over our heads. Planes could be boarded up to five minutes after it took off and airport security could be bypassed by doing a cartwheel through a metal detector. […]
Three Stars of the Newscycle: 8.23.06
Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006Well, I am happy to kind of close the door on Freyfest ‘06 here at MBF. After two solid days of solid back and forth between Bitchfest readers and Big Jim Industry folk alike, I am completely convinced that this was a complete and total sham… maybe. Today, I received a few pieces of seemingly […]
Laziness To Take Time Off?
Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006The New York Observer points out this morning that the trend of shocking (read: not real) trend stories might be running out of steam. This leaves the time honored tradition of journalists making the news in their own head and justifying it with three boilerplate quotes and one wiiiiiiiiiiild anecdote, well, less trendy.
So goodbye “The […]
Three Stars of the Newscycle: 8.22.06
Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006Okay, sure, Tuesday. Sit on it.
• Iran wants to talk “serious.” Fine, your wife is dead.
• This Web 2.0 stuff might be profitable after all, YouTube to feature ad videos.
• Stargate SG-1 is being cancelled. Where oh where can we find intelligent commentary on such an event? Oh yeah, the AICN Talkback. Amongst all of […]
Kids To Suck That Much More
Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006When I was 13 my mother rented Pulp Fiction for me, I loved it. I watched explicit drug use and violent, cold blooded murder with wide eyes and an open pliable mind. It instantly became my favorite movie and created an undeniable definition in my taste for cinema and television. I was a very impressionable […]
