In support of the opening, actor Paul Reubens recently participated in The Guest DJ Project radio show on KCRW in Los Angeles.When asked to pick the five songs that have inspired him throughout his life, Reubens went with Jimi Hendrix’s “Stone Free” as his #1 and had this to say about Hendrix: “I think most people who heard Jimi Hendrix for the first time had a religious experience – as did I. I had never heard anything like this. This song, besides the beat of it, and just the drive of it, this was the piece of music that made me feel like anything was possible. This piece of music defines genre, invention…and you can draw just...

Colonel Angus

Tonight, NBC celebrated the ladies of SNL, rekindling the meaning of the word flurge, of which Amy Poehler’s Hillary Clinton demanded not to be called whilst admonishing audiences for saying she has cankles.The special showcased classic feminine-led female skits throughout the years. We got to watch Alec Baldwin turn from a thin, debonair leading man to the premiere distended comedian of the aughts. We got to relive Christopher Walken as Colonel Angus, the best misappropriation of the word cunnilingus ever. We also got to relive Tina Fey as Sarah Palin and, of course, Poehler as Clinton.The skits and acting are semi-legendary, and launched the two into the stratosphere — tv shows, Vogue covers, you name it.The flurge meaning and even spelling...

Golf Courses

President Hugo Chavez said some of Venezuela’s golf courses should be expropriated and used for other purposes.“That’s an injustice -- that someone should have the luxury of having I don’t know how many hectares to play golf and drink whiskey and, next door, there’s misery and children dying when there are landslides,” Chavez said during his weekly television show, “Alo, Presidente.”Dozens of people died in the past month when landslides caused their homes to collapse after heavy rains. Chavez said he will dedicate himself to resolving Venezuela’s housing shortage.Chavez also called on Venezuelans to actively look for abandoned private land to expropriate.“Look for irregularities, and by that I mean good land that’s been abandoned,” he sa...

Flurge Meaning

Flurge Meaning: I believe what was said during the Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton skit was "flerge" or "flerg," which the Urban Dictionary defines as:1) The state of a man's penis when it is not erect;2) The foreskin of a man's penis.Examples: "The cold water in the pool sure gave me a flerg"; "Aww dude, that ugly chick turned my wood into a flerg."Other possibilitiesAccording to the Urban Dictionary, "flurch" is when you fart and accidentally soil your pants. And a "flurge" is a cross between a flush and a purge -- which doesn't make a lot of sense in the context of the skit.A Viral Marketing HoaxA clever writer realized that, by planting a fake word, they could generate thousands of Google hits about SNL.

The Walking Dead Review

To say that I've been looking forward to The Walking Dead is a shambling hulk of a flesh-seeking understatement. I'm a longtime fan of the Robert Kirkman comic series on which the show is based, and I had enormously high hopes for last night's premiere.Happily, I wasn't disappointed. Even if you hate zombie movies, here's why you should be watching the show:It looks great. No cheap horror-flick visuals here, this is full-fledged big-budget AMC cinematography, and some of the scenes are stunning. The visual of our protagonist Rick riding his horse on an empty street into zombie-desecrated Atlanta trying to escape the city while the side of the highway is clogged with jammed-up, abandoned vehicles is particularly amazing. The zombie FX is top-notch,...

Madison Bumgarner

Madison Bumgarner didn't just get the job done Sunday night against the Rangers - he got all jobs done. He went to work, and by the time he was finished, everything was all wrapped up in a package with a neat little bow on the top.McCovey Chronicles takes this opportunity to reflect on what Bumgarner was, and to discuss what his Game 4 start will become with the passage of time: The unlikeliness of it all. One year ago, Madison Bumgarner was a pitching prospect without a fastball. His velocity wasn’t just down, it was Rueterian. And as he was always known as a one-pitch pitcher -- the changeup and breaking ball were so raw that they barely warranted a mention -- so the red flags were waving red flags taped to smaller red flags.

Forrest Gump 2

When I was a boy I remember my family getting one of those big boxes of assorted chocolates as a gift at Christmas. My favorite pieces were the peanut clusters and the caramels. The problem was that everyone liked them as well, so they didn't last long. Also, they were the only two kinds of candy in the box that could be identified on sight. The rest of the pieces were filled with the various assortment of creams-- some I liked, while others my young pallet rejected as something that tasted like chocolate covered liver. The problem was, of course, that I could not tell what was what just by looking at them; and that was before the days when candy manufacturers started putting a diagram on the underside of the box top to help in the process...
