All they need are little cowboy hats and bandanas, and this cat and dog would look like they're filming a scene from a 70's spaghetti western.   "So...have you used 7 lives...or 8?  Do you feel lucky, punk?  Do you?"  Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know that's a Dirty Harry line, but Clint Eastwood was in spaghetti westerns, too  (remember "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly"?) and I needed a good set-up...

Mike Myers 'Dad' in "So I Married an Axe Murderer" made bagpipes cool again.  Jonathon Davis and KORN  made it cool to put a little bagpipe in metal.  Scrum take it over the top with bagpipe solos!  And they wear kilts! For some reason, I'm thinking I really like this band

I'm not sure when lower back tattoos, or "tramp stamps," became popular, but now that everyone is bending over just a little bit more than usual so that everyone can see their butterfly, tribal gibberish, or random Chinese characters (DO YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT THAT SAYS?!?! For God's sake woman, that could say "insert large gardening implement here!" Do a little research before you have "Juans Fish Tacos" permanently embeded above your poop chute!) that you have so cleverly had tattooed inches from your crack. I wish it would all go away, but then again, I find it mildly...interesting.

WTF?!?!?! "Donkey-Punch" makes it's way to Jeopardy! I can hear Alex smirking...just a little. And Mike? That's the last guy I would think to be versed in the way of the Donkey-Punch! Just goes to show...you never know!

Hello. My name is Gonzo, and I am a Batman addict. The Christian Bale Batman movies will always be in my Top 10 movies of all time. Even if they make eleven of them. I became a Bale fan as a result of "American Psycho' years ago.  But putting a pumped up, Patrick Bateman (with even more issues!) in a a Batman suit...pure f-ing genius!!

We've all seen them. The homeless (or ALLEGED homeless) guy at the intersection with his cardboard sign, asking for your cash. I admit, I'm a sucker for "Vietnam Vet...Homeless...Need $$ to get home to see my dying mother" (Although I am baffled at how a 35-year-old guy...toothless or not...could be a Vietnam vet. But, that's a story for another day).

Well it’s official. This LSU fan had the WORST National Title game ever. Talk about adding insult to injury huh? Not only did LSU get shut out, but then you pass out in Krystal Burger on Bourbon Street which is packed with Bama fans and some dude sticks his fingers in your nose and ears and then teabags you while the crowd is chanting Roll Tide

If you look hard enough - in the case of Shreveport, REALLY HARD - you might come across the movie Roadie at a local theater.  It's in limited release, so you might be waiting a while.  But, eventually, it'll hit NetFlix, so at least we have that going for us.  Basically, the premise is that while rock stars have typically seized the spotlight since the dawn of time, director Michael Cuesta opted to put their helping hands front and center.
