What would NPH do?

A brief Tuesday tribute to William Shatner

Yes that is William Shatner pimping the Commodore Vic 20 "The Wonder Computer"of the 1980s". This happens when you don't blog for 7 days. Swear to god. But seriously I found this for you today, a Shatner Twitter blog. Cue the highlights:

"Movie idea. "Being William Shatner": I fall down a hole into my own brainworld inhabited by Me's of every age since birth. We all make out." - 5 days ago from web

"Nimoy has only JUST discovered SMS. He won't stop texting me." - 01:56 PM April 22, 2007 from web

"Getting Trek-style automatic sliding doors installed throughout the house, except the bathroom. Why? Because I can. *whheshhhh!*" 12:11 PM April 07, 2007 from web.

God bless you Shatner. You are the bomb. Even if this Shatner Video disturbs me sort of. Thanks.

In Praise of Tight Spandex in the 25th Century

Someone mentioned Twiki from Buck Rogers today. And this Youtube clip entitled, "Happy Birthday Buck - Erin Gray Tight Spandex" more than filled the bill.

Glen & Gary & Glen & Ross

This isn't safe for work kids, but somehow I managed to miss "Glen & Gary & Glen & Ross". Which is a pretty rad video to get you through a Tuesday.

Quagmire, You old tom cat you...

Really enjoyed this wacky Family Guy scene. How else to describe what happens when Quagmire gets busy with Marge Simpson. Hilarity, among other outcomes ensues.

Monday Video Awesome: Unicorns, Star Wars, And More

Not going to lie. The Unicorn Kingdom Club is partially creepy, partially AMAZING. Seriously, this is ridic.

This one, 'Star Wars Trumpet' was classified as " pretending her trumpet is a laser gun awful" at DataWhat. I couldn't look away.

At some point today I was on Amazon and couldn't believe that on DVD you can get season three of Hardcastle & McCormick. The show intro doesn't even make sense as a show to me anymore? Really the show plot was, "A retired judge and his last defendent follow up on cases that where dismissed due to technicalities." Oh Stephen J. Cannell, you crap genius sir.

Listening to Jamiroquai is like really douchey, right. We all agree. But when it's a killer Korean cover band is it okay? Probably not, but I won't tell.

I wanna be a Miss Sixty Girl

I am not high maintenance, but given a little effort, I can look reasonably well put-together and I'm happy with that. Or I was, until last night when I attended the opening of the Sixty Boutique on Robson. I have always coveted Miss Sixty jeans, but given that jean shopping can so often be depressing, I have pretty much steered clear. But, seeing the fun denim, dresses and shoes available, all of a sudden, I wanted to be a rock star fashionista. Case in point, the following shoes:

I would marry those shoes if such a thing were legal. Never mind that if I had brought my credit card with me there was a very good chance that I would have walked out with thousands of dollars of merchandise. Which brings me round to the drinks... Belvedere vodka was one of the sponsors, and the martinis being poured were light, delicious and appropriately accessorized with cranberries. And as I've discovered the hard way, my willingness to spend oodles of money is directly proportionate to the amount of alcohol consumed.

The event had the requisite tiny models in cute dresses, semi-celebrities and great music. The only let down was the bathroom, which I hear was in the back alley and required a GPS system to be found. But I'm willing to overlook that given that I met my soulmate (see above photo).

Finally, I would like to say to the DJ that despite his protestations, he did in fact steal my friend's drink. I distinctly remember looking down at her beverage wondering how she got a lime in her drink when I didn't have one, and the next thing I know the DJ is slamming it back (well, taking a delicate sip). I don't care how cute you are, you've still got girl germs now.

New Favorite Vancouver Blog: Full Bodied

I hearted the fact that I found this Vancouver blog, Full Bodied, on Gawker's site earlier this week. This is like a gift of Thanksgiving amazingness. Considerably more so, since stupid us are spending Thanksgiving getting on a red eye to Toronto.

But seriously, how could you not love a blog subtitled "Two hot fat chicks on wine and other good things in life."It's genius really. The fact that even the existence of this blog inspired countless photos going up on Gawker proves that the concept of pairing booze with cleavage will be good for traffic. Why didn't I think of this? Damn it. This also prompted me to check out Wine Glow, our old friend Daniel's wine blog. I only have this to say sir. May 8th? Come on, you are ridiculous.

Gobble. Gobble.

Ryan Dempster Is A Bit of An Autograph Legend

Really? Baseball blogging? I know, but here goes. The Chicago Cubs may be out of the playoffs already but the best thing about baseball I've seen in years is Gibson's BC native Ryan Dempster's ball signing abilities. The "To Christine, Take Your Damn Top Off!" signing is so clearly legendary. Like Barney style. You can read the story that goes along with this signature move at Deadspin.

Better Than Apple Juice

Finally, someone else has validated my love of that truly trashy, but truly tasty drink: cider. Apparently, cider is the new fall beverage of choice, and I can't wait to get on board with that. Bye-bye white wine, I'm back on the Glacierberry. But for those with a more sophisticated palette (shades of high school much?), there are plenty of fabulous apple-based bevvies to choose from that don't involve a non-existent fruit. Strongbow comes to mind as the most obvious choice, but for those of you lucky enough to be passing through Ontario, defintely consider giving Magners a try. It is absolutely delcious, and its flavour doesn't hinge on the addition of a lot of sucrose-fructose. Who knew the harvest season could be so tasty?

Save the Animals?

Global warming is bad right? And it's especially bad for the poor little animals who have no natural defence against man's cruel march forward, isn't it? Well, Adrants thinks it might not be, and this spot for Virgin Trains in the UK is why. Please don't watch unless you're prepared for animals in compromising situations... And by animals I mean humans in bunny costumes. So fun.

News You Can Use: Hills and Cheetos and Ice

" And it sort of makes me sad, because when I watch "The Hills" I forget about war and poverty and basic math? And I, like, don't want to go back to caring about stuff or knowing the name of the President or reading books? But I guess I have to? Because you can't go through life being an Audrina (Audrina=retard) if you're not on a scripted reality show for MTV? I guess??!?!?!?!?!? Anyway, I'll miss you, "Hills." We'll always have that time where that one girl said that really stupid thing and everyone was all, What? I'll never forget it."[Gawker]

"Unfortunately, now that Canada's dollar is oddly similar to an actual dollar and a donut at any one of the 2,733 Canada-based Tim Horton's costs like four actual dollars, we must listen to their distress. But they are misguided! God's great plan for His world has at last granted Canada a Northwest Passage! Freed from this sad dependence on ice and misery, Canadian sea shipping lane dominance will turn Toronto into the new Tokyo, and Montreal into the new Seoul! Though Regina will still suck pretty bad." [Gawker]

Elizabeth Hurley's Breasts Illuminate Vancouver Art Gallery

Last night Elizabeth Hurley and her gals were at the Vancouver Art Gallery to raise awareness for breast cancer. Wearing a "tight-fitting layered pink dress" Hurley and her breasts wowed crowds and told them to donate money. This also involved turning the Art Gallery pink apparently - joining the Empire State building and the Sydney Opera house. [Canadian Press]

PS: And kudos for Metro Vancouver for trying to use Ms. Hurley's breasts to sell papers.

A Special Word From Billy Dee Williams

I think now is as good a time as any to post a Colt 45 commercial starring Billy Dee Williams. I only found this because I was on the American Mustache Institute website.

Reasons To Watch More TV

Like you/me needed one. Things I'm really starting to enjoy about fall. Wait, no, things I'm really starting to enjoy about fall TV.

Chuck. I'm not sure how long I'll watch the show, but the reference to Oceanic 815 as a government secret, the use of Violent Femmes (albeit a cover) music, and I won't beat around the bush on this, but Yvonne Strzechowski. And to clarify, her cover job at the gourmet hot dog joint is pretty funny. Chuck's sister Sarah Lancaster and her ridiculous boyfriend kind of crack me up too.

I'm actually watching all of NBC's Monday night lineup. This wouldn't happen, but when you have pvr you just start recording things, then you use any excuse to watch it. That accounts for Journeyman. I think. Well, that and the pleasant sight of Moon Bloodgood (More at Maxim). Both these two shows work with Heroes because they both look really good, especially Journeyman. PS: the music is great during the trips back to the past, which make me long for a great Scott Bakula show. Oh. Boy. I mean who rocks the Smashing Pumpkins "Today" circa 1993 ever? Although the clearly fake Google search engine on the iPhone is ridic.

And I might as well round up things that while Reaper isn't going to the biggest show ever, or this season even, I'm watching 'cause it's filmed here, the pilot was directed by Kevin Smith, and, well, Missy Peregrym. And why not. Not gonna lie, we called her the local "it" girl April 2006. And we stand by that reco, especially since Stick It was so great, plus she was on Heroes right?

And I'm not going to forget about Heroes. Last week our friend Anthony summed up the first episode like this, "All i'm saying is that Heroes better not suck the lame more than it did this episode. I have much higher expectations from it than i do for a remake of a mediocre series that is shot on West Hastings street and stars a British soap star." Well, let's not be too harsh and compare it to Bionic Woman. He did add, "there was good (3rd world hottie killing people, Suresh infiltrating the company) there was bad (Claire doing her best Buffy imitation, Nathan creepy longshoreman beard) and there was lame. (another flying person, Claires dad at Kinko's, Peter...wait for it...amnesia, and then seeing that Sylar is still alive.)" All good points. So he's not going to be pleased with ehe cherry blossom snow tonight I'm pretty sure. And. Seriously. Good. Ending.

Quick I better link to photos of Hayden Panettiere and Kristen Bell bowling to appease him.

Scarecrow and Mrs. King

I don't know what made me think of Scarecrow and Mrs. King and the opening sequence, perhaps it was a brief Kate Jackson flash. Whatever. How great was that show?
