Awesome picture

This an awesome photograph of fireworks, a comet and lightning in Australia on Australia Day. It's a composited panorama, so all 3 events didn't happen exactly at once but within a relatively short time frame. Still its an awesome photo. I found the story about it here.

Star Wars-Boogie Nights Edition

An oldie, but a goody. This is Star Wars dubbed with Boogie Nights dialogue. The result is hilarious and perfect for its recent 30th anniversary (Star Wars that is.)

Happy Birthday...to me?

I am a day older, and none the wiser. Funny how that works.

Where Do TV Shows Come From?

I used to believe that TV Shows came from some mystical glade, inspired the faeries of wit and circumstance and ire. That the TV Shows were carried from there by storks made of silver, flown through open windows and dropped on to the desks of network executives, whose plump, eager hands would unwrap it from its delicate packaging and then show it to all the world.

That was before I grew older and realized that Three's Company is crap.

I now know that the mystical glade is really a TV Show Pitch Generator and that is truly how they came up with next seasons buddy sitcoms and cop dramas, and other stuff. Shows that will take the place of brilliantly crafted and cared for pieces of small-screen cinema - Shows that I liked to watch that were cruelly canceled.

Here is one of the shows I randomly generated and it sounds just as good as the things they put on the air:

A coal miner with nothing to lose can't stand a sports agent who wrestles alligators. Stars Charles Durning and Drew Carey. Genre: Mini-Serie
