I popped a new design over Thanksgiving Eve.  I’m hip, I’m with it.  Let me know what you think in the comments below.  I promise not to cry if you’re mean … but I may attempt to get even.

Thanks.

This isn’t going to be pretty.  In fact, that’s part of the motivation.  Embarassment, discomfort, public ridicule are primary behavior modifiers in my life.

You see at one point in my life, I want to be “ripped” and I mean black guy “ripped”.  I’m 32 years old and only getting older.  I’ve got a son, a dog, a wife, and a mortgage.  I write pretty much all day long, slurping down Chai tea and hot cocoa, fixing my expanding ass into a pleather office chair and trying to avoid eye strain and carpel tunnel.  I’m shaking the magic 8-ball and its coming back, “You’re Fooked.”

Am I going to end up like this guy? [Read Column]

The Evil Horde was the best thing that happened to MotU ever since they were released.  As a digusting side story, when I first got the main three characters (Hordak, Leech, and Grizzlor) at Christmas, I was also sucking down Hershey’s bars three at a time.  Leech had a sucker that you had to lick to make him stick to stuff.  Every since I first opened him until the day that I finally blew him up in a roll of black cats, he tasted like old chocolate.

Things are a bit different in Australia.  Maybe its too much sun, too little ozone, too much salt water, too much beer … whatever it is things are different.  For instance, we have rednecks, they have boguns.  We have Al Capone, they have Chopper Read (pictured).  We have a Puritanical Founders.  They were founded by the chorus line from Cell Block D.  We drink too much beer, they … well, somethings are the same.

With the drought of original ideas and stories coming out of Hollywood, Bollywood, and Asian porn, you’d be surprised to find that a great deal of movies released into Australia from the States have their names changed.  As if this quick smoke-n-mirrors changeroo will actually change the box office totals.  Or maybe its because they fear that Australians, who have 23.5 hours of solid Law & Order reruns on public television and this crazy new invention called the Internet, won’t catch the subtle Americanish references.  For instance, should they have renamed Shaft (2000) to One Bad Mother-Rooter?

Here then are some movies that were inexplicably released under different titles Down Under and my guesses as to why. [Read Column]

In so much of life, its the people behind the scenes that make things special.  And its no more true than in the movies.  I like to point out people whose contributions have made the world more cool.  In our last exploration of Who the Hell is This Guy, we met Italian strongman and Schwarzenegger life partner, Franco Columbu.  This time, I’m asking you …
