For your consideration… the Jericho!

Trippin the light fantastic!

VIVA, VIVA, VIVA!!

Hey Baby, gimme some Sundance!

In honor of my brother, whom we can never find.  I am inaugurating a new feature here at byrner.com – Where is Elvis Today?

Yeow, gimme some Hope and Change!

I have to correct Gonzo, though most films from TGR are excellent, this is the best ski movie of all time.  Enjoy the time travel back to 1991, bright colors, tight pants, and large shades.

“Skiing is partying, partying is skiing.  They can’t keep us from partying, so they can’t keep us from skiing!”

Wise words to live by.

And Dave Grohl is a Demon.

Thanks to Nathan Fillion, we now know what to do.

Stop it!

As the blogfather says: heh ™

She realizes that virtually all of her customers are unemployed alcoholics and, as such, can no longer afford to patronize her bar.

To solve this problem, she comes up with a new marketing plan that allows her customers to drink now, but pay later.

So you think you know the Invisible Gorilla test. You bet that the tester can't fool you this time. You KNOW there's a gorilla coming, you're gonna see it. No WAY will they be able to sneak it by you this time.

Well, give it a shot then big guy!

All I can say is…duude, that ain’t cool.

A would-be saboteur arrested today at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland made the bizarre claim that he was from the future. Eloi Cole, a strangely dressed young man, said that he had travelled back in time to prevent the LHC from destroying the world.

This is great in two possible ways and bad in one.

If he is from the future then this is fascinating and its totally sweet that time travel is possible.  But then the whole “…prevent the LHC from destroying the world.” is a bit depressing.

I don’t put much merit in his warning however because of the nature of his warning.

"Countries do not exist where I am from. The discovery of the Higgs boson led to limitless power, the elimination of poverty and Kit-Kats for everyone. It is a communist chocolate hellhole and I'm here to stop it ever happening."

So, world destruction by Kit-Kats for everyone.  I fail to see the threat there.

This is one of the coolest twists I’ve read about in awhile but what if Ferris and his girlfriend Sloane are merely the figments of Cameron’s imagination and the culmination of the movie is him breaking out of his psychosis by destroying his dad’s prized car.

Complete mindbender!

Makes me want to watch the movie again.

Go read about this and other supposed fan theories that make the film better over at Cracked [caution - bad language].

    This has to be one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while.  Who knew SCUBA divers were so aggressive.  Maybe it’s because they’re out of their natural habitat.

When the Google camera car passed they must have gotten really agitated.

They seem to be making a pretty good pace… for wearing flippers.

If you’d like to see for yourself follow the linky, or do a Google maps search for “rugdeveien 39 bergen”.  I’m sure glad we don’t have this type of vicious wildlife in the states…  Beware the Norwegian Moose bites next, they can be nasty.

Verily, it tied the room together.

And there we have the Big Lebowski with one of his most famous lines.

It works soooo hard too.

I was sent this link and I have to say it’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen on the internet in a while.  Imagine you’re asleep and yet you speak coherently.  Your wife records you and puts the results on the Internet.  Recipe for hilarity.  To understand how this guy’s mind works would be very interesting, to have such vivid dreams and then speak out loud.  I wonder if he has conversations while he’s sleeping?  Here are a few of his quotes that I thought were excellent and need to add to my repertoire:

"You can stop clapping now if you want. Really. You'll need your energy for cheering me later. Shhhhhhhh. shhhhhhhh."

"Don't... Don't put the noodles and the dumplings together in the boat. They'll fight! The noodles are bullies. Poor dumplings."

"I'd rather peel off my skin and bathe my weeping raw flesh in a bath of vinegar than spend any time with you. But that's just my opinion. Don't take it personally."

"You can't be a pirate if you haven't got a beard. I said so. MY boat, MY rules."

"Hey, don't... don't say anything. Why don't you put it in an email, then I can ignore it at my pleasure."

"Peeing standing up rules!"

"WHHOOOoooooooooooo... falling down.............. plop."

"Look out! Marshmallows!"

Sounders Goalkeeper Kasey Keller.

A more elegant keeper for a more civilized age.

heh.

In fact that deserves a resounding second heh.

Spaniards Can’t Count

Here they are scheduling an entire season of celebrations, culminating in a international friendly between Spain and Argentina and it is actually the 96th year for the Spanish Football Association.

Well done Spain, well done.

Watch this video.  Andrew Klavan just dismantles Barak as a faux intellectual and historically naive.

But stealing cool ideas is the way I roll.

No I don’t know how I got there.

I especially like the japanese guy’s old parking champion master.  Who looks on disapprovingly as his padawan messes up on the first attempt.

This has Enter-the-dragon, bloodsport, and all the rest of those karate to the death movies beat.

Great Sci Fi series, too bad it was cancelled.  Here is a great little video that crosses the memes of motivational posters and Firefly-isms. 

Enjoy!

Old I know but cool.

*BTW this is not real...just so you know...you don't go out and try to shark surf yourself...cause that'd be stupid.

It's true, he told me.

Suddenly, it hit me. An experiment is in order.
