Hot Dog Eating Contest? Worst. Idea. Ever.

So for some reason, I got the stupid idea the other day that it would be fun if I enter a hotdog eating contest. It was the worst idea ever.

I was driving home on Sunday night and I heard on the radio that Mothers a popular sports bar near downtown was hosting the event and it was being presented by local station, 98Rock, and the grand prize was a 4 day trip to Las Vegas and that was pretty much it for me. I heard the words “Vegas”, and “Free”, and “Bar” and I thought, “Well, I guess my plans for tomorrow night are set”.

The Best Show That You're Not Watching - Life

I'm far from the biggest fan of legal procedurals (C.S.I., Law & Order), I find them to be too pat and sterile. Nor am I that fond of shows with quirky characters (House, Monk) as I find the personalities often overwhelm the stories.

But I fell in love with Life, a show about a quirky cop. It's the story of Charlie Crews, a wronged cop (he was framed for murder) who is struggling to find both answers and peace.

First and foremost, it's a well-written show. Every episode contains twists and turns, but they never feel forced. Things make sense and nothing ever feels too extra. The cops are grim and gritty and the crooks aren't glib.

Friday Face Off: "April Madness/Spring Cleaning" Edition...Round 1

This weeks Friday Face Off was supposed to be a comparison to decide who is the best TV sitcom house keeper, but after literally minutes of debate, the Fish&Spaghetti staff came to the conclusion that there are far too many qualified housekeepers in the world of TV to pick just 2.

We felt that we would be disrespecting at least 6 other worthy competitors so we decided to give them a fighting chance.

With that said, we bring you this: “The Fish&Spaghetti April Madness Tournament™” AKA “Spring Cleaning”!

For the entire month of April we’ll be comparing the best housekeeper until we decide who is the all time best.

Get your bracket ready, here are the first round match ups:

The New Hotness? Talking To Strangers!

So apparently, some 18year old kid from Vermont created a way to help people waste more time on the Internet by combining instant messaging with the "Hey-let-me-tell-you-what-I'm-doing-every-20-minutes" phenomenon that Facebook and Twitter are known for to create Omegle, a very weird but kinda sorta fun time waster that allows you to talk to complete strangers about whatever.

According to the creator:

"Omegle is a brand-new service for meeting new friends. When you use Omegle, we pick another user at random and let you have a one-on-one chat with each other. Chats are completely anonymous, although there is nothing to stop you from revealing personal details if you would like."
I gotta say, I did this earlier and it's a little bit fun but mostly creepy. I can see how this could take off but the name doesn't have a cool ring to it. And there's no pictures, which some people might like, but I think if it had a cooler name, it would stand a really good chance of becoming the next big Internet thing as people seem to love this sort of stuff.

I tried it out and this is the conversation I had on there earlier:

Halle Berry: "Youtube Sensation"

She's still smoking hot. The Dance and the song is trash though. If you look closely you can see that Ellen stopped dancing because she started getting wood.

Pardon?

According to a story on Yahoo News:

WASHINGTON – Sen. John McCain wants a presidential pardon for Jack Johnson, who became the nation's first black heavyweight boxing champion 100 years before Barack Obama became its first black president.

I've yet to add a "Lazy" category, but when I do, this post will go in it.
