Load the spaceship with rocket fuel! Load it with the Warriors!

Today at work I needed to clear out the ol' noggin with a good laugh. If you ask me and several other people, there are very few things in this world that are more reliable for a laugh than old wrestling promos as done by the Ultimate Warrior. For non-wrestling fans, he's probably the reason you dismiss sports entertainment so easily. For wrestling fans, you know him as the classic figure who says random shit and is now a radical right wing weirdo who says things like "Queering doesn't make the world work."

But again -- there was a time when he would say things that are funny just because he's a lunatic ranting and raving.Video analysis after the jump.

Mormans.. Whoa those mormons!

Mormans are always good for a laugh one way or another. From the stories of my dad just getting home from working night crew with his buddies in the early morning and inviting the door-to-door mormons to watch porn and have a beer with them, to Dan Dieteman's dad's classy Sinatra-esque "Mormons" ditty, to Orgazmo's mormon-turned-superhero Joe Young, it's not hard to find amusement with the topic.

But now I'm finding something that takes the cake. As I type, dear reader, I sit on the subway surrounded by mormons. Not in the sense that I'm on a crowded train and I'm the only one not wearing black dress pants, white dress shirt and a tie, but there is a group of three sitting in a triangle formation communicating with sign language across the train.

Opening the X-Files

It has recently come to my attention that I will be seeing the new X-Files movie when it comes out this weekend. I think the movie looks great and all, but there is a major obstacle I must overcome: I was not a fan of the show. That's right, the resident geek missed out on the X-Files. It looks like a fine program, but DVR didn't exist in the 90's so I never hopped on board.

A Triumphant Return

I've noticed that I've been incredibly delinquent with my blog posting. For a decent stretch, I was posting things pretty consistently, but alas -- it was not to be for long. Not since Easter have I posted anything, and here we are with the 4th of July upon us (aka the funnest holiday ever).

I'm here now to say 'no more!' I've somehow accumulated maybe 200 hits since the last time I logged in here, so that could very well be 200 people who are seeing nothing new. Or it could be one person that has been so anxious to see something new they've logged in approximately 2-3 times every day since my last post. Or I could be completely mistake and people could just be fond of the adorable killer rabbits from Night of the Lepus. Regardless, somebody's been looking at a lot of old news.

It's time for me to do some of this 'time management' that the business-types, like my boss, are always telling me I should get better at. For starters, I got one of these 'Black Jack' telephones. Did you know you can get Internet and electronic mail on your telephone now? Heck, this thing even has an alarm! Of course, it also has a 'to do' list application and one of my list's items has been 'blog' for a couple weeks. Honestly, there hasn't been a lot for me to say lately aside from "I'm so stoked for The Dark Knight" or "I'm sad that the Martian Manhunter is dead," so I decided to take a look at what exactly keeps me so busy from writing here when I am flooded with ideas after the jump.
