Here is a little gem from the intra-web. A site called MeeVee posted a clip of Kevin Pollak doing an impression of Christopher Walken on Conan and it is PRICELESS!
What is MeeVee:
"MeeVee offers

community that provides a smarter, easier way to navigate the growing
universe of television programming and video content."
I have a hand in operating a group of people who track trends, talk about what's hot in the sub-culture/pop-culture, and what-not. Last night I got back to the location where we keep them caged up and started into the heap of information they had uncovered that day.
One of my funnier sifters pulled out this cover denoting this young man's decision to come out of the closet. I am not here to say plus or minus on his decision, but one of my young men layed a comment at the bottom of the piece that said one word..."Duh!" I found that incredibly funny.
In Miami this week and I must say that I do feel welcome. People are friendly...might be the fact that I am amongst all the other tourists who are glad to be away from wherever they are from, but people are being very friendly.
Pic is out of my hotel room, btw. Hey, anyone know a good contact for me down here to introduce me to some cool spots? Holla, holla, holla.
I had a chance to go back "home-ish" this weekend through Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama and here is the deal, I like the South, and not always for the traditional reasons most people say. The down-homeness, the hospitality, the sweet tea (seriously - who doesn't like sweet-tea?) I like the South for the HEAT. That's right..the heat! It is undeniable, and unrepentant.
You can't deny the heat. It envelopes you like a sticky, wet blanket and coats you all the way to your bones. Most people hate it, and frankly I understand why, it's the least desirable part of the geography. But, once again I find it the reason to go back and possibly would even stay.
You have to be somebody to outlast the winters in the Northeast, the brownouts and traffic jams on the West Coast, the June bugs in Miami (or roaches - good gosh the roaches are HUGE!!) And down south it's the HEAT, or more specifically the humidity. The minute you walk outside you start sweating...and it doesn't stop. It sticks to your skin, and consequently your clothes, car seats, monkeys, kids, ideals and ideologies(???? I don't know where I was going with that?). Anyway... I digress, I don't mind the heat.
I have found my new addiction and it is FLOW. Forget Solitaire (which for some reason I can't seem to forget) as it has been my mindless escape from the everyday through repetition and competition. Flow is a wonderful FREE game that allows you to search for other organisms to eat and therefor grow your own amoeba. It's a cool little game that proves that games can grow and change throughout the process of gameplay. I think you will love it!!!
