Cool Shit 10/10

Cool profile on actor Danny Trejo, star of the Machete..."franchise?" I mean there are two movies now, and I'm sure if the second one is successful, there will be a third. Regardless, read the article just for this:

He is shirtless, and will not make the slightest move to put on a shirt — nor the slightest hint that a shirt is somewhere nearby, if he even wanted to put one on — for the rest of the afternoon.

I'm pretty sure that sums up Danny Trejo better than anything else ever could. Yet, while I love the profile, I can't imagine this new movie is going to be good. Honestly, it looks to be barely a step above a Roger Corman production, which, while I understand that is the point, it doesn't mean I have to enjoy low level writing, special effects, acting and gimmickry. Take a look for yourself...

Well, this makes complete sense. Apparently the gluten free diet is the work of the devil. So says Pat Robertson, who allegedly knows a thing or two about the devil.



Also, I have no idea what clankers are, but I don't want them and so I'm actively praying to God to keep them away from me! And eating 14 loaves of bread a day.

I know this will come as a shock to some of you, but John Lennon had somewhat of a large ego. Here he is trashing 18 Beatles songs, and surprisingly most of them are McCartney-written diddies!

I hate links like this, because they highlight places I’ll probably never get a chance to see.

Keeping stats for college basketball. Someone has to do it. To make it official. Everything’s gotta be official these days or it just doesn’t happen.

Having recently reading the book, The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon (Vintage Departures), this new discovery in the Amazon is doubly (perhaps even triply) cool.


I’ll always link to a Buzz Bissinger story if I find it, due to the fact that he once angrily accused me of stealing his blazer, back when I was on a high school field trip. Here, he speaks out on Tiger Woods.
