Breakfast: X-Factor Style!!!

When I grow up, I want to hire a funk band and be followed by them constantly so that I can pretend I’m John Shaft. Like John Shaft, I’m a complicated man but no-one understands me but my woman.
But, until this day, I – along with millions of other people – will continue to use [...]

Colonel Cob – An Explanation, Please

Nick Jr. run a campaign to turn kids onto healthy eating. It’s called – clumsily – Nicktrition.
One of the characters is called Colonel Cob. He’s a cob of corn with a stiff upper lip. He pulled himself up by his bootstraps to the higher echelons of the army.

Errr… Is it me, or does he appear [...]

Dave – Slowly Killing Himself So You Don’t Have To

Do you listen to the Bugle podcast? You should do. It’s very funny.
Anyway, they mentioned something called the Doubledown sandwich. It’s only available from KFC in some states of America. It’s a bacon and cheese sandwich.
It contains no bread.

Yes. It’s cheese and bacon between two pieces of fried chicken.
On hearing of this, I became slightly [...]

Chewbacca

I think ‘Star Wars’ needs to be re-evaluated in these Post-9/11 times. However you look at it, Emperor Palpatine was the democratically elected leader of the Senate.
Then along comes the Rebel Alliance. In what can only be described as a Jihad, they decide that they’re going to run the Galaxy and run around blowing up anything [...]

Dragon’s Den: Star Date 42135.6

Am I wrong to be annoyed by the title of this show? I was under the impression that dragons lived in lairs. Not dens.

I’m Not Here Today…

…I’m over here
I know. It’s like I’m the freakin’ Scarlet Pimpernel, or something.
In the meantime, here’s a picture of a badger:

Milli Vanilli: Rock Band!

After the massive success of ‘The Beatles: Rock Band’, we bring you a new addition to the Rock Band family!
‘Milli Vanilli: Rock Band’! 
Milli Vanilli are legends that bestrode the late 80’s like Pop Colossuses. Or is it Colossi? I forget.
Includes all their hits!
Girl, You Know It’s True
Girl, I’m Going To Miss You
Girl… Erm…
…You Know. The Other One. [...]

Zombie Fact! #4

Z Club 7 was a franchise too far. Possibly because zombies can’t do “Jazz Hands” very well. Or maybe because there were only five of them.
I’m not sure.

Kevin Smith
For me, Kevin Smith is the new Woody Allen. Not because people prefer his earlier, funnier work, but because he was someone who made me want to write my bad jokes down, rather than just say them in the pub.  
Apart from being able to grow a better beard than me and writing the [...]

Theology and ‘Star Wars’

Quite a title, eh? Prepare to be disappointed!
I sometimes feel that I think about things a bit too much. Actually, the Better Half would sorely disagree with this statement, so I may need to add the proviso that I don’t think too much about anything worthwhile.
For example, ‘Scooby Doo’: They always find a rational explanation [...]
