…and it did not go well.  An exerpt from his review site:

“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” is a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments. One of these involves a dog-like robot humping the leg of the heroine. Such are the meager joys. If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination.”

Haha, I read another review where the guy stated the movie “screamed at the audiences eyes for two hours.”  Even with all the ridiculous calamity, this movie’ll make a bajillion dollars because the average movie viewer is retarded and explosions are such a staple of modern summer movies that they’re practically dialogue by now.

Proof that you really can’t be whatever you want to be when you grow up.

Whiskey, like sweet revenge, is best served cold..and with rocks.  Teroforma has taken this idealogy and applied it to cooling Whiskey, while removing the watery residue from using pussy-ass ice cubes.  As an added bonus, they serve as great last minute projectiles if you stir yourself up into a drunken tirade. From their website:

“More mellow than ice, our natural soapstone Whisky Stones™ will cool your next dram just enough to take the edge off without diluting its perfectly balanced flavors. Milled exclusively for Teroforma in Vermont by some of the oldest soapstone workshops in the US, simply chill the stones in the freezer, add 3 or so to your glass of spirits, let stand for 5 minutes and enjoy!”

Please note that these probably won’t work with a mixed beverage of a larger volume, and they won’t fit in a cocktail glass, so unless you’re drinking straight whiskey out of a normal whiskey glass, you’ll probably have to cool your drinks with ice and talk about Sex and the City like all your other female friends.

 Get ‘em here.

We know so much about the public lives of musicians nowadays that it’s almost ridiculous that the record companies still try to paint what they perceive as their public image through album covers, photoshoots, stupid interviews, etc.  Holy Taco, however, will not let this stand, and are back with more album covers with the balls to say what’s really going on.

I’m not sure of how I want to die, but I’m pretty sure if it was the result of an alligator-wielding duel I wouldn’t be disappointed with myself.

Skateboarding is one of those things that I wish I could do well.  However (much like starting to take Karate classes when you’re 30, standing there like an asshole in your white belt next to a bunch of 8 year olds) you just look like a retard trying to learn some things as an adult.  To avoid embarassing injury, sometimes it’s best to just leave it up to the people that have been doing it since they were kids, like my buddy Angelo from DC.  Here he is making you look uncoordinated.

Yes, I know this is a Twitter picture...

Not here, of course, I’ll leave the journalism up to news sites and the crack squad of Tweeters they seem to be relying on for news coverage nowadays. However, here’s the rundown from CNN:

A rush-hour collision Monday between two Metro trains north of downtown Washington, D.C., killed at least four people and injured scores, Mayor Adrian Fenty said.

The deaths are the most for one incident in the history of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, Fenty said.

The crash happened just before 5 p.m. on an above-ground track on the Red Line near Takoma Park, Maryland, according to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.

More than 60 people were hurt, some seriously, Washington Fire Chief Dennis Rubin said.

This is already being touted as the deadliest accident in Metro history, with the death toll considered shocking due to the fact the trains are all computer controlled and there are conductors on the trains as well.  As an ex-DMV resident and frequent Metro rider (who else has put a $20 in the machine blacked out on St. Patty’s day trying to get home from Rosslyn and woke up with $16 dollars worth of nickels in their pockets…anyone? anyone?) my condolences go out to the families of the deceased and best wishes for those that were injured.
