Those of you who know me, know I’m very scientific. Obviously. So, in an attempt to decipher exactly what makes a drunk, and what one must do when dealing with a drunk, I got a volunteer to get his russian vodka drink on. It wasn’t too difficult to find volunteers. After hours of clinical drinking and organized shenanigans, the experiment was begun. (more…)

Podcast #1 - Female Singers

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

Our first podcast is dedicated to female singers. There is something just amazing about a woman’s voice. I often find myself wandering the streets listening to women talk and giggle. Other times I enjoy their shrill stocatto as they explain to the police officer that I have been following them for the past 20 minutes.

In this particular case, were talking about singers. You can hear a variety of my favorite singers ranging from punk to mariachi. (more…)

On a trip to Aguas Calientes, he pushed Mocherz into the hot springs and burned half of his body. Scarring him horribly. Later, he got into a huge fist fight with my other brother with both of them ending bloodied and half-alive. (more…)

Pulp Fiction reduced (and in order)

Part of the appeal of Pulp Fiction has been the fact that the story unfolds out of order, and the snappy dialog that the characters use in the movie. Yet, a question that I have always asked is whether this is the only appeal of the movie. In other words, would the film still be watchable if it were in order and with allot less dialogue?

So, I took footage of the movie and attempted to see if this was the only appeal. The film has been reedited below. It is in order, and only the crucial dialog has been left in. The film itself is little over 20 minutes. (more…)
