The world is like a horrible pitcher...
…and Matt Stone and Trey Parker are the greatest hitters to ever live. Last night’s South Park was fantastic as usual. It ripped apart the horrible TV show Whale Wars and its attention whoring, eco-terrorist “star” Paul Watson while having fun with silly Japanese stereotypes and, at the same time, somehow made the only version of Lady Gaga’s Poker Face that my ears can tolerate.
I give it 12 Bales out of a possible 14.
I concur.

What You Hear: We Will Rock You by Daft Punk feat. Queen
This makes me want DJ Hero, but I can’t afford to be throwing money around on plastic turntables when there’s furniture to be bought.

In all honesty, I was expecting it to cost more than that.

Rumormill: Chatpad - New Xbox Update
This is coming from me and me alone. I’ll bet anyone that Microsoft will re-release the chatpad with new buttons (or faster navigation) for Twitter, Last FM, Netflix (future search add on coming) and Facebook. The MSN chat button is already there and no doubt they need quick navigation to these features to lock down the attach rate. The chat pad is almost a must for anyone using these features so it only makes sense. I wish the current pad had hotkeys I could program for this.
Tolo Note: I’d actually prefer some sort of shortcut button to stuff like Netflix and whatnot. Sure, there’s the quick launch feature, but even that takes too long sometimes. I just hope it doesn’t result in controllers the size of refrigerators.

“Reed died of a sudden heart attack during a break from filming Gladiator in Valletta, Malta on 2 May 1999. He was 61 years old and was reported to be heavily intoxicated at the time of his death. Racking up an $866 alcohol bill, Reed had reportedly drunk three bottles of Captain Morgan’s rum, eight bottles of beer and numerous doubles of Famous Grouse whisky. He also beat five much younger Royal Navy sailors at arm wrestling at a bar called “The Pub”. The owners have since added “Ollie’s Last Pub” to the sign.”

Oliver Reed’s last hours.
I use this to counter Ron’s Hemingway post.
With one sentence, only Tazar could ruin a post I spent an hour agonizing over.
