Slip N' Die?

These guy s have some serious balls to build something like this. I love the design and the idea. I already have ideas forming about what is possible from the deck at 90 UNO Madison.

The Force Is Real? Enter the Force Trainer

"May the force be with" could soon be more than a movie quote apparently. The Force Trainer, which is being introduced shortly comes with a headset that allows the user to use their own brainwaves to manipulate a sphere within a tower.

This might be the coolest toy to come out since Skip-It. I can move shit with my brain, are you serious? Apparently there are other games coming out like this as well, but I promise they will not be a successful as the Force Trainer.

I will be training with Yoda in no time. Found at Stumble Upon.

Response: Who You Got

There you have it. Florida are National Champs with the unbeaten Utes coming in at 2nd. Is there no way they can play each other? I'll even take a backyard flag football game.

I will would like to say however, that I do feel I was correct with my statement that Percy Harvin was the difference in the game. Tim Tebow was his usual self and helped open lanes for Percy by getting his own running game going. I do think the better team won last night, even the Travis would have to disagree. (Travis was a mess last night, if you would like to send him something to cheer him up please feel free to do so)

Now we are all in the unfortunate spot of having to wait an entire year to have some more college football. I guess the NFL, college basketball, baseball and for this fan English Premier League will just have to suffice.

Obama In New Spider Man Comic

Below is a link to a story done by BBC about Obama being in a new Spider Man comic book. I don't think JFK even reached that status!

Who You Got? Florida vs. Oklahoma

Well tonight is the night that college football crowns a semi champ. Utah goes undefeated and doesn't even have a chance to become champion? I guess that is the way the system goes right now. I don't care if they were in a "softer" conference, they went undefeated during the year, how does that not land you a championship?

But enough about that, you can watch ESPN if you want to hear 800 people discuss how we need a playoff, but until that happens, this is all we have.

Tonight features the Florida Gators vs the Oklahoma Sooners, in a match-up of old school and new school football powerhouses. Both teams feature a spread type offense, Heisman winning quarterbacks and average defense (giving a slight edge hear to Florida because of overall speed).

The game should be high scoring, but with a full month off for each team, these games can sometimes be ugly. I am going with the gators tonight, purely based on the fact that they have Percy Harvin. Tebow and Bradford will play great as usual, but it is usually the "other" guy that needs to step up in these games. Oklahoma will be without DeMarco Murray, their major home run guy. Harvin is such an explosive player and can line up almost anywhere on the field. He is the difference tonight.

Florida 38-27. Who you got?

Skier Caught With Pants Down = Funny Story and Pitty Shrinkage

The tricks skiers can do on the snow these days are amazing, but one who ended up upside down and pantless on a ski-lift had no intention of ending up that way.

The skier and a child tried to get on a high-speed lift at Vail's Blue Sky Basin in Colorado. But since the chairlift's seat wasn't in the right position, the man partially fell through the seat, and was left dangling upside down. Somehow his pants fell down. The lift was stopped, and the man was not hurt.

Vail Resorts says the guy was "suspended for approximately seven minutes," according to The Smoking Gun.

The guy's pride might be damaged a bit. Fellow skiers snapped shots of his bare butt.

You Say Tomato, I Say Tomei-Whoa!

Christmas came early for me this year--36 hours early, to be exact, when I entered the Landmark Sunshine Cinema to see The Wrestler and left two hours later shedding tears of joy. Yes, it’s a terrific film--heartbreaking, funny and well written, featuring incredibly striking symmetry between an aging exotic dancer and an over-the-hill wrestler, to say nothing of the art-vis-a-vis-life symmetry one could point out between the characters Ms. Tomei and co-star Mickey Rourke portray and the actors themselves. Most importantly, however, the 45 minutes or so that Marisa Tomei spent almost completely in the buff might be the best screenwriting ever put to paper.

Simple math shows why Marisa Tomei’s big splash in 1991 (My Cousin Vinny) remains a turning point in the lives of most men who today are in their early 30s, myself included. As a 13-year-old, I could not possibly be prepared for the sight of Mona Lisa Vito, she of the thick Brooklyn accent, stepping out of Vinny Gambini’s convertible in that unforgettable, trashy tights/high heels combo years before Dennis Rodman would perfect the look. From the moment she snapped her gum and bitched about the lack of Chinese food in Alabama, I, like so many other teenage idealists out there, longed for a whiny, trashy woman to call my own.

As an aside, let this be a lesson for all you whipper-snappers out there: be careful what you wish for. For as I have learned, not all whiny, trashy women have the charm of Ms. Vito. If you think you can just take a trip to Flatbush with a $50 bill and a bag of Popeye’s and meet the woman of your dreams, think again. It takes several trips. Trial and error is a dangerous game when your emotions are the proverbial chips. But thanks to years of counseling and drinking, I’ve learned from my errors and am not afraid to say so. Have I made mistakes? Of course. Do I have any regrets? A few, sure. But deep down, would I change any of it? Yes. Almost all of it, actually.

Until recently, that is (hi sweetie).

You might wonder just exactly who the “sweetie” is that I’m referring to. That would be 44-year-old Marisa Tomei, coming off the performance of a lifetime in...The Wrestler. As one can imagine, seeing my biggest childhood crush this side of Joan Rivers in a g-string was something I never thought would happen. But better late than never, I’m happy to say. Better then than now, you might ask? Strangely, no, and most likely better now than later, or never, and better everything than nothing at all. Because that’s what you get in The Wrestler: everything. Now. And later on DVD.

I understand Miz Tomei laid her angelic figure bare in a critically acclaimed movie with Philip Seymour Hoffman last year, but none of my friends had the courtesy to notify me at the time. I can’t say I blame them; had I known, I would have hoarded all copies of the movie and kept them for myself, out of fear that too much viewing would deteriorate the content, much like an acetate disc in the olden days of phonographs and Indians.

“Whoa, Travis!” you’re saying. “No offense to the over-40 crowd, but at 44, wouldn’t Marisa’s cadaver be riddled with cobwebs and asbestos?” Well, here’s something else I didn’t know: nipple rings and back tattoos have anti-aging benefits. So we’re getting Marisa Tomei, gyrating with great prejudice, clad in nipple rings and some huge tattoo of something on her back. I think it might be a dragon, but every time it’s shown in the movie my eyes tend to—ahem—wander…

…(to Mickey Rourke’s vulnerable eyes)...

Christmas is over, but treat yourself in the New Year and see The Wrestler. It’s everything I was hoping for when I was 13, but had it happened then, I probably would have exhausted the world’s Kleenex supply.
