I caught the above film a while ago and, when I saw it I was both fascinated and mortified. What in the great heebie jeebies were this kids parents thinking? His name is Richard Sandrak (YouTube | WikiPedia) and he's now 16 years old. According to his bio he's been body building since he was 3. You can catch pics of him on the interwebs which help chronicle his growth.

Seriously, take a look at the various pictures and videos in the above links. Is this disturbing or do you think that the boy merely has a very healthy appetite for fame, fortune and wellness? Although a number of you readers out there are slender, healthy specimens of humanity there are a number of use who are...well, let's be honest...about as healthy as the doughnut we're about to stuff into our face while reading this. But what would it have been like if you were to lead his lifestyle? Do you even want a body like his?

I do have one word of warning for him, though:

Watch out where Ernest touches you, young man. We know how he manages to stay young...

David Reese pens a comic known as 'Get Your War On' (Site | Wikipedia)and it is a hilarious look at the Democrat/Republican, liberal/coservative, black vs. white, accounts receivable vs. accounts payable environment. It is hosted by the people at 23/6 where they have some of the news most of the time. Reese has penned Get Your War On for the past seven years and has provided an excellent companion to This Modern World by Tom Tomorrow.




EDIT: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OH, COME ON! HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS




AFTER WATCHING THIS

I'm sitting here watching the Redskins playing a preseason game against the NY Jets Favres and it isn't bad but I'm still sorta bored. So I decided to read some reviews and it seems like everyone is sort of giving the new CG Star Wars movie the shaft. It seems like Star Wars is in vogue again because I see SW merchandise ALL OVER THE PLACE.

The following are just a few of the interesting tidbits I found...

Well, damn. Why didn't any you guys tell me that the Imperial army was visiting actively working in San Francisco?! I mean, I would have totally baked some cakes and come over.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will be released and for part of the game you'll even be able to play as Darth Vader. This should be titled Star Wars: Puzzy Wants.

Can I just say that I absolutely suck playing as Darth Vader in Soul Calibur IV? I keep hearing people say that he's the most balanced character but I just completely have no idea what I'm doing.

And finally...

Okay, first my apologies for not getting this posted yesterday. I was, go and figure, out and about after work getting my drink on. By the time I got home I considered posting this but then realized that anything I typed would have looked like


Ergo, I've spared you the agony of having to read that.

This summer has seen the explosion of superhero movies, Iron Man and The Dark Night. At the center of these two movies are two actors who have very accomplished careers. Robert Downey, Jr. has been a member of the Brat Pack, was seen getting his rear end pummeled in Less Than Zero and has been in a number of other memorable (sometimes not so memorable) films.Christian Bale is about ten years younger and has been an American Psycho, fought dragons in Reign of Fire, and will soon be battling angry robots.

Both of these men have very accomplished careers and, face it, even though I'm hetero, both of them are dreamy in their own way. So, taking this and everything else in your pea sized brain into consideration, which of these two guys is more bad ass?

Yes, I know Chuck Norris could chew them up for breakfast and poop them out into little gold nuggets. Interpret this VERSUS any way you like. Vote on the basis of their current movies or on their past films. Vote on which one you think you'd rather go out and have a drink with.

Nope...it isn't being the second in command of the Air Wolf. Or flitting about the Poseidon.



Finally, something good comes out of Fox & Friends. Er...ok, maybe not 'good'. Let's say 'amusing'.
