Dear Science

A little while ago I posted the video for Kingswood Ohio. I mentioned that the video starred a number of Australian recording artists and that I was ignorant to who they were.  I dug around a little bit and checked out all of the video’s guest stars.  After watching a handful of videos, I had to show you Seth Sentry’s video for “Dear Science”.

I’m not a giant rap fan, but this was too funny to pass up.  What is even stranger is that I’m pretty indifferent to the Back to the Future series.  I know that is like nerd sacrilege.  They were okay movies but I don’t have the same kind of love for it that has popped up in the last few years.  Anyway, enjoy the Seth Sentry and keep hope alive for that hoverboard.

Hangover Thursday: This Just In

It’s Hangover Thursday, how’s your head?  I had a few bottles of Bass on Tuesday night, but I was so exhausted last night I couldn’t even look at a beer.  I know that’s a horrifying thought my internet friends but it really happened.  Regardless I came across some random beer news that I wanted to share.

One of the stranger stories I’ve seen in a while, a Vietnamese gang was counterfeiting Heineken and Tiger beer.  The gang was taking Heineken and Tiger and then mixing them with other, cheaper beer.  Once they had this new beer mixture they would sell it to restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City.  It was reported that they were selling less than 50 crates a day, but that still sounds like a lot of beer to me.

Dogfish Head is making it’s return to Tennessee, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Rhode Island.  Back in 2011 the brewery cut back it’s distribution areas to keep up with the demand.  Now they’ve managed to expand their brewery enough to start shipping to those states again.  At the moment they are still looking for regional sales managers and things like that.  Expect Dogfish Head in those areas by the end of the year!

Chicago Blackhawks, Stanley Cup Champions

Hey everyone, I won’t lie, work still has me pretty slammed but I really didn’t want to neglect the site any longer.  When the NHL came back from their lockout, I was a bitter man.  I really had lost almost all of my interest for my favorite sport.  As the season went out I slowly started warming back up to it.  During the last two weeks of the season I was fascinated with the game as I watched the ever changing playoff match ups changing. 

The playoffs started and I watched every game I could.  I was thrilled when the Red Wings took it all the way to game seven in Chicago. Sure I was disappointed they lost, but I’m already excited for next year.  Then the Stanley Cup Finals happened.  The Blackhawks and the Bruins played some of the most intense, amazing hockey ever.  Both teams should be extremely proud of their performance. 


I honestly can’t remember the last time I found the finals this exciting.  I’m happy for Chicago but I really wish we would have gotten a seventh game.  Next season brings big changes to the NHL and I can’t wait to see them.

Janitors In Space

Hello. I am back. My extended absence of posting is over (for now). Why have you been gone for a month and a half, you ask? Or perhaps you did not even notice I was gone. Either way the short answer is that I have been making some changes in my life and the blog was kinda low priority. Also I was in Colorado Springs for much of May and June for work.

Anyway this post is not about me this time. It is about a great comedy series on Youtube. Space Janitors.

I am loving this show. It has a ton of references to Star Wars and other beloved Sci-Fi series. It has won a few Canadian comedy awards - for good reason. Every episode has at least one laugh out loud moment. Plus I highly enjoy the Squall Troopers. Right now they are in the middle of season 2 and are looking for some help with season 3. Check out the Indiegogo campaign and throw a few bucks at them. I would love to see the third season come to fruition.

Attack of the Real Life

This may come as a shock, but That F'ing Monkey doesn't pay the bills.  It would be awesome if it did, but as of right now I have to do other things to make money.  My real life job is going to be insane for the next couple of days.  Because of that I can't guarantee that there will be updates the rest of the week.  I will try my best to get some content up, but I will most likely miss most of the week.

Justice League Pool Floats

Yesterday we talked about all of the Flash merchandise that is currently at Target.  It isn’t surprising that there are a lot more items featuring Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.  Today we’re looking at two of the coolest pool floats I’ve ever seen. 

The inflatable Batmobile is just incredible.  I personally know a number of people will be disappointed to hear that this is kid sized.  I’m confused that they went with a Batmobile when they could have gone with a Batboat.  Regardless it is an awesome looking pool float and it’s only 10 bucks.  Your kid can drive the Batmobile around your pool.  Hell yeah.

If you’d prefer your pool float to be based on Wonder Woman’s Invisible Jet, well Target can help with that.  There isn’t a lot I can say about this, other than I love it.  I love anytime the Invisible Jet makes an appearance so seeing this on store shelves really made me smile.

Flash Friday: Target’s Justice League

Happy Flash Friday everyone!  It seems DC Comics and Target have teamed up for some pretty spectacular summer merchandise.  That of course means there is a bunch of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman things on the shelves, but I was happy to see the Flash snuck in there too.  Today’s Flash Friday is aimed more at things for kids, but even if I didn’t have a one year old I probably would have bought one or two of the items we’re about to go over.

 First up is a Justice League shirt and a Flash towel!  I know the towel is exciting but look at the shirt for just one moment.  Flash got the spot right under Batman and Superman.  That’s pretty amazing.  Considering that the shirt only have four characters on it I was surprised that Flash was even included.  I don’t believe this offered in adult sizes, this one is sized for 18 months. 

The Flash towel is amazing.  It’s hooded and has cloth wings on the side of the hood.  The hood doesn’t come down far enough for them to add eye holes.  Be warned, this one is not made for adults.  I can fit my head inside the hood, but when wearing it the towel portion just barely made it all the way down my back.  This is something to wrap your kid up in after a day in the pool or something similar.  I may have bought more than one.

There is also a line of kids plates, sippy cups, placemats, and plastic tumblers.  Most of these things are Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman themed.  Because I do have a child at home who could use divided plates I grabbed a Batman and Superman.  The Wonder Woman ones were already sold out at the Target I went to.  I bought the plastic tumbler because I wanted it for myself.

I didn’t just buy it because Target had it labeled as a Flash Tumbler.  Really I didn’t.  The black tumbler with the yellow lightning bolt looks cool.   Technically it looks more like a Black Adam glass.  Target also has a bunch of smaller items.  Things like stickers, temporary tattoos, etc.  All of these things are dominated by DC’s big 3, but I did see the Flash included in some of these packages.
