Joel Stein in Time magazine. Links, related stories and videos. Some dude outside my supermarket just asked me to sign a petition to legalize marijuana. Apparently he was so high that he forgot he's in California, where pot is already more legal than budget-balancing. Last year I was granted a medical-marijuana license, even though I'm healthy and I don't smoke weed. I went to a doctor's office that...
It's that time of the year again. The nights grow longer, and subsequently I spend more time watching TV shows online. They're all American shows and thanks to the interweb each episode is usually uploaded only hours after it is aired in the States, which saves having to wait days and months if not years for it to make it to the UK. They're also all based on premises that can only be described as "bollocks"...
Frankenstein Lego CubeDude by Larry Lars. And a few more links: 1. Superman helped defeat the KKK in the real world. Via . 2. A revisionist telling of The Three Little Pigs and The Big Bad Wolf in Lego. Via . 3. Los Angeles has a new police chief. He's the current Police and Fire Motocross national champion and at least in some shots looks not totally unlike Magnum P.I. *Previously: Dwight Howard...
New LAPD chief Charlie Beck, left, and Tom Selleck, right. Or was it the other way around? This morning, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced he will tap Deputy Chief Charlie Beck as the newest head of the LAPD. While we all wish him luck, we are simply dumbstruck by the uncanny and positively eerie resemblance to Mr. Magnum, P.I. himself. Coincidence or underhanded push to increase film production...
Monday night's good news was that Anderson Cooper was back at the helm of AC360. The bad news is that his guests included Suze Orman and Mark Williams. Just shoot me now. The opening discussion with Mark Williams and Roland Martin followed a piece by Tom Foreman on the Congressional 23rd District in New York. The teabaggers are backing Doug Hoffman, who seems to be clueless about the issues and problems...
You know what would be bad ass? If Becks would shave the beard but keep the mustache. I really feel like what we need right now is a return to wide-brooms and "real ales" beards . It's kind of sad that Shep Messing --who has been retired for more than 20 years-- is the dude who's really holding it down for consistent and prominent facial hair in the American soccer diaspora.* I'm telling...
'Stache poster from here . Oh yes. It's that time of year again. MOVEMBER . For those not in the know, Movember is a great charity that helps raise awareness of men's health issues (and prostate cancer in particular) and revolves around luring normally sweet, handsome men into growing lip sweaters for the entire month of November. Ben did it last year. Remember that? No? Then click for a handy dandy...
News Corp. Deputy Chairman, Chase Carey revealed Hulu's new plan at an industry Summit in New York. Broadcast and Cable reports that Carey informed reporters that a subscription based system is likely but, there may still be some free content. Probably Magnum PI episodes. Carey added, "“I think a free model is a very difficult way to capture the value of our content. I think what we need...
Last Of The Old Codgers: Have you noticed every single one of the more famous TV detective's, with the exception, perhaps, of 'Magnum PI' and Bodie and Doyle in 'The Professionals,' all dressed much the same? Whether it's 'Columbo' or Dan Matthews in 'Highway Patrol' (remember him? Broderick Crawford was his real name), or 'Frost' or 'Poirot,' they all had one thing in common; their dress sense. And...
OMG ! Have you ever had an epiphany? A moment when all the little pieces fall into place? An ahah , now I have got it by golly! Yup, I have just had one of those. I feel like Sherlock Holmes, Magnum PI, Angela Landsbury and Columbo all rolled into one. Magnum is certainly my favorite, like me he could be slow at putting 2 plus 2 together but he always managed to look good doing it. I would even argue...
Sign up and help raise money for charity Men of this world, this is your calling, your calling to sign up to become a real man, the kind of man that can present the news (Ron Burgundy), the kind of man that can be a private dick (Magnum PI) and not laugh about it, the kind of man.... Okay you get the gist. Movember is now almost upon us, and that means you need to sign up and get your moustache thoughts...
Taking a few hours for rest and worship. Then, I start collating and cogitating, about the Hawaiian Hawaii's Open Records Law (UIPA) initiatives, of TerriK, Leo D., et. al., and letting more folks know we'll be dealing with this, on tomorrow night's netcast of "The Awakening." Leo Donofrio will be our special guest.
Okay, he’s really not, but he could have been. Selleck was actually cast for the role of the intrepid archaeologist but couldn’t get out of his contract for Magnum, P.I. Harrison Ford stepped in and, as the say, the rest is history. But, as teh ‘monkey and I were discussing earlier this morning, what if [...]
Thomas Sullivan Magnum lives and resides in the 'guest house' of a posh, 200-acre (0.81 km2) beachfront estate, known as Robin's Nest, in Hawaii, at the invitation of its owner, Robin Masters, the celebrated-but-never-seen author of several dozen lurid novels. Ostensibly this is quid pro quo for Magnum's services based upon Magnum's claimed expertise in security; the pilot suggests Magnum also did...
5 August, 2009 From Kitt to The General Lee, there are some cars that drive lust into the hearts of viewers-living in the minds of fans long after the show is over. These exotic cars, and David Hasselhoff, have left such an impression on the world that we at Imagine Lifestyles want to showcase them for kicks, these famous cars all left an impact that continues today in the world of luxury cars: • Knight...
