I meant to write something about this a few months ago, but totally forgot about it. As you’ll recall, I’ve had a bit of a (made up, fantasy, non-existant) history with Stacy Keibler. One of my first posts that got ran by AOL when I was at TV Squad was basically me creepily asking her out. Then, just this past summer at ComicCon, I was hanging out with Keith McDuffee and totally pussed out by not even talking to her.

I recently ended a certain sabbatical on New Year’s, and was talking about it tonight with young Mr. Gallagher who said I should try and date Stacy Keibler. Not only is that a stroke of brilliance, but it reminded me that I never posted these pictures. You see, I found myself at an Emmy party just a few weeks after ComicCon and had a rare second shot, and I took it. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves and fill you in on when the wedding will take place.

Hahahaha… haha…. ha…. oh… aww…… stupiddamntruthiness….

I like golf. I suck at it (as most here would atest, a game normally starts alright and then lots of alcohol and golf cart gymnastics happen) but I like it. Tiger Woods however doesn’t need either to make miracles.

Bonus points to EA for finding the most epic response to a glitch ever.

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Tropic Thunder a few times now, and if you were transfixed to your tv this past week watching Michael Phelps bring home the gold, I can’t recommend enough that you find the time to go check it out. It’s absolutley hilarious, and that’s coming from a guy who’s normally not a Ben Stiller fan. Rober Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise steal every scene there in, and Jay Baruchel solidifies his place in the next generation of comedy stars.

I also went to the red carpet premiere last Monday with the Mahalo Daily crew (episode here), thanks to an awesome friend at Paramount, and while I didn’t take any pictures of me there (yea, I know, dumb) I did find this little gem online. It’s of Jack Black and his wife, and barely in the background, you can see John, Leah and myself. Booyah.

I’ve always liked the guys behind Reno 911 and The State, so normally anything they do is great. But when you combine them acting as authority figures with already socially awkward people at the ComicCon… pure magic.

When I was still working over at TV Squad, I wrote a piece called I want a date with Stacy Keibler. Well, this past weekend I not only finally got to meet my former boss at TV Squad, Keith McDuffee, but also the chance to at least talk to Stacy.

It was at an ABC Family Party that Keith was nice enough to drag me along to, and Stacy was there. So after a little liquid courage, a little prodding from Keith, I got up the nerve…. and totally wussed out.

You won this round fate, but I’ve now rededicated myself to the cause. It’s on.

Alright powerful interwebs, I’m turning to you for help. I’m trying to find an audio clip of the classic punchline music that they used in Laugh-In. Wikipedia describes it as:

A six-note pattern preceding a code-word or punchline to an off-color joke, such as “do-doo-doo-da-do-doo … smack!” or “… family jewels!” (sometimes extended to 18 notes by repeating the GGGDEC pattern two more times before the code-word). This same musical phrase had been used as a “signature” at the end of many pieces played by Spike Jones and his City Slickers.

It’s one of those tunes that if you heard it, you’d instantly recognize it. It’s synonymous with wacky jokes and as such, need it for day to day life. If anyone can find a recording of it, let me know and I’ll be forever in your debt.

I have an ever growing collection of t-shirts, and it’s sites like Busted Tees that fuels my addiction. They’ve got some smartass shirts, but my favorites would have to be the JAKKA55, Sparrow and Retarded ones. My obsession with pirates and poker have nothing to do with those choices… nor does me great grammar.
