“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

A buddy of mine showed me this hilarious clip from the film, Running Out of Luck, yesterday as we were sitting at brunch. It’s basically a clip of Mick Jagger walking into a hardware shop in Brazil, where nobody recognises him, and then tries to get the owners...

I hardly ever watch tennis anymore after I “cut the cord” back in 2013, but if you had asked me three weeks ago who would win the Australian Open tennis championships in 2017, the words, “Roger Federer” would have been outside of the top 5 on...

How your dog REALLY sees you

So I was watching a comedy special starring Iliza Schlesinger the other day, who turns out to be a very funny young lady. Some of her stuff is a bit hit-or-miss, but other parts of her routines are side-splitting. The special in question was, I think, War...

Tom Cruise might be completely batshit insane. But damn the man can act. I mean, OK, fine, we’d have to throw Top Gun out as a mulligan, I suppose- it’s the gayest non-gay movie ever made, it’s ridiculous beyond words, and the acting in it...

When was the last time you watched a movie starring Nicolas Cage? For me, that would be… umm… Sunday. The Rock, to be precise. (More like, “precisesh”- Sean Connery’s accent is awesome.) Anyway, if you’ve seen one of his movies...

So my buddy and I were driving back from a fight night through upstate New York, through some truly spectacular countryside along the interstate winding through the Adirondacks and the Catskills, when we passed a town with a rather curious name. My friend turned...

You can do better than that, Gunny

Your metalhead alter-ego

Classic: Have I ever mentioned how much I dislike METALLICA? These guys spend most of their time listening to DRAGONFORCE and… well, being borderline gay These guys are the best kind to hang with at an AMON AMARTH concert And last but not least: I ran into one...
