Twas the week before Christmas, and all through Spike’s house She sought out ways her Yuletide misery to douse. The hand knitted socks hung from the shower rod sans care Washed with generic shampoo also used for her hair The pooches were nestled all snug on the futon Dreaming of liver and dead squirrels and croutons When Warren in his undies awoke from a nap Announcing, In the laundry room a dog took a crap! She looked at the pack—Rebound, Bubbles, Satch, Tatum And promised if that happened again she would crate ‘em. more ›

Remember how Beyonce fell on her ass at a concert and said she didn't want anyone posting videos of it? The folks at Shout Mouth have compiled their Top Ten Most Embarrassing Stage Falls (with video accompaniment, of course). Do you remember the last State of the Union when Bush honored Julie Aigner-Clark, founder of Baby Einstein (a series of infant educational programs)? Yeah...those programs don't actually work. Scary: Shitload of Germans pile on... more ›

We don't remember much of SXSW but of what we can remember, we think we had a pretty kickass time. During the week of March 13th to the 17th, we were out surviving on what little we had time to consume (usually free, alcoholic or "containing artificial flavors"), catching every bit of sanctioned and unsanctioned SXSW goodness.

Check out the Best of the -ists from this week, and see if you agree. Londonist answers the questions "How much... more ›

To do this weekend: save the bank (and, consequently, family) from the bad guys, take pet monkey to the vet, mourn the state of Steve Martin’s career, have mild lesbian encounter, be appalled by people’s ignorance. Firewall A man is forced to break into the very bank his security program protects, or else suffer the loss of his much-younger wife and children at the hands of super (and super adorable!) villain Paul Bettany.

Some of us don't have much of a life, so we thank our lucky stars for "three hours of high school fun" on Austin Music Network's Losers Lounge. They play the best videos--videos we never see on MTV or MTV2, which as anyone knows don't play videos anymore and if they do, it's usually nothing but hip hop. Sure, hip hop is good, Beyonce can sure move and Eminem makes good rhymes, but sometimes we wanna watch some Interpol dammit. Thanks to those goofball high school girls and boys for playing some cool shit. Please, please, never graduate. more ›
