WRRV Winter Beach Party

I had an awesome time at the WRRV Winter Beach Party last night. The WRRV listeners are known for always coming to our events ready to party, and once again, they did not disappoint!

Congratulations to Susan Scott on winning a trip to the island destination of her choice!

There's a ton of photos now posted of the games, bikini contest and all-around mayhem from last night. But one event couldn't be summed up with a mere photo... it takes video. Blackmail video. May I present... Shmonty:

Fatty-Fat Friday!

Pianolina

The blogofboris almost had no posts this morning because I was fooling around on this website. It's a pretty addictive piano application. The bouncing blocks produce piano notes, and you can sequence them to make songs. It's completely in German, but is still kind of easy to figure out. There are some pre-loaded songs to give you an idea of how it's supposed to work. Enjoy wasting your Friday.

Supernanny child abuse

The Davis family is now under investigation for child abuse after appearing on Supernanny. Here's a tip: don't smack your kid around in front of the camera. This guy needs to be locked up.

Let's slide down to the board meeting!

An office building in the UK has installed a slide to help workers get from the 3rd floor to the lobby. I'm not sure if this is a way to help demonstrate the falling economy or an elaborate scheme to cheat their health care provider, but it sure looks like fun. That is, until you have to climb the ladder to get back up to your office. Story link.

Unfortunate bushes

Star Trek remixes

Someone has remixed episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation to some pretty hilarious results. This is just a sample below, the whole series is here.

Hudson Valley Heroes

It's really great to know that we have such amazing people protecting us here in the Hudson Valley. Firefithters Vincent Andre and Tim Welch from Middletown rescued a 6-year-old boy from a home that was fully engulfed with flames yesterday. Check out the full story at the Times Herald Record website.

Fat cat in a little door

I just installed a cat door to the basement so our bulimic cat can go back and forth to the litter box without us having to keep the door open. I opted for the larger sized cat door for this very reason:

Lost: Bentham, Project Runway, Unlucky Penny

So, I'm not the biggest Locke fan. I know he's pivotal to the show and his story is so interesting because he's the chosen one, blah blah blah... But I'm not talking about bad-ass, deep thinking, boar killing, island Lock... I'm not a fan of the off-island, wussy Locke. Whenever there's a Locke-centric show I roll my eyes because inevitably it will take us to his story off-island where he's weak, whiney and yet still somehow thinks so highly of himself. Think of his pathetic past playing Stratego at the box factory, hunting down his con-man dad and paying phone sex operators to pretend to be Helen. I think the creators of the show do an amazing job of showing us how powerful Locke is on the island, but how weak he really is in the real world.

OK - last night's observations:

Remember the runway? You know, the one that Sawyer and Kate were forced to build while they were being held in the polar bear cages? I think we saw it last night! At the time, even Juliette didn't even know what it was for (she joked it was for aliens). I'm thinking that Ben knew somehow that he would be flying back to the island in the future so he had it built. Take another look at the crash site from last night... the plane is almost fully in tact and they're clearly not on the main island. From the logo on the folder Caesar found it's safe to say they are near the Hydra station (the one Jack was being held prisoner in). Also, Locke is clearly staring across the water to the main island while eating his delicious mango.

Widmore is evil. I don't care what Widmore says, my money is still on him being the bad guy. I'm sorry, but that McCutchen-drinking, Alex-killing madman is up to no good. I am surprised that Matthew Abbadon died... I assumed he was kind of like Richard Alpert off of the island. Come to think of it, did he really die? You never know on Lost! So, Widmore being the bad guy means that Ben is a good guy... I'm fine with that. Ben seemed to sincerely want to save Locke's life, only to wind up killing him (again!). When Locke mentioned going to see Ms. Hawking it set Ben off. I think his crazy brain realized at that instant that the only way to get Locke back to the island was to use Hawking to send them back the old fashioned way... on a plane. and Locke would have to be dead for that to happen.

Was Penny born on the island? Widmore said that he was 17 in 1954. He also said that he was on the island for 30 years so he must have left in 1984. If Penny was born after he left the island, that would make her, at most, 23 years old. There's no way she's 23. So is she the daughter of Widmore and the blonde soldier "Ellie" (Who I believe grows up to be Eloise Hawking)? If that's true, is Penny Faraday's sister? Or is Penny Widmore's adopted "daughter" like Alex was Ben's "daughter"?

All in all, an ok episode last night. I'm looking forward to getting back to the island action next week. I'm curious to find out why Lapedis, Sun, Ben and Locke didn't flash to another time during the crash like Kate, Hurley and Jack did. I look forward to you're thoughts - post them below at will...

Brandi's crush: Mark Ruffalo

We were talking about the list released by date.com of the celebrities on top of everyone's "Sex Pass List". You know, the list of people your allowed to sleep with even though you're in a committed relationship. I don't play this game, because I know if I ever met Olivia Munn or Evangeline Lilly and somehow they wanted to sleep with me (could happen!) my wife would have none of it - list or not.

Anyway, IF Brandi was in a committed relationship she said her one pass would be for Mark Ruffalo. Yeah, I didn't know who he was either. But after looking at a photo of him he looks like the love child of Joe Rogan, Johnny Knoxville and the gay brother on Six Feet Under.

What do you think, ladies? Hot or not?

Did you miss Jimmy Kimmel this week?

Chances are you didn't see this... because not too many people are watching Jimmy Kimmel. Too bad, because he's funny as hell. Maybe once he goes up against Jimmy Fallon people will watch by default. Give Kimmel a chance, who else could get Mel Gibson to do this:

Let the 8 ball answer your emails

Here's a great way to piss off your friends... answer their emails using only the phrase given to you by the Magic 8 Ball. This dude did just that, and the response from his friends is pretty funny.

I may try this today because I actually have a Magic 8 Ball on my desk. Someone gave it to me a few years ago, and I thought it would make me look retro and cool if I put it on display. It would make people think: "Hey, this Boris guy has a desk, but he also knows how to have fun. Do you think he actually uses the 8 Ball to decide things that are important? How outrageous! He's young AND fun!". Did it work? Hell, let's ask the 8 Ball...

I figured as much... Guess I should lose the Rubik's Cube too. Link

The Fresh Prince goes folk

Kay Pettigrew is one of those artists you listen to at Starbucks. For some strange reason she's decided to cover the Fresh Prince Of Belaire theme song in a way that would make Carlton squeal with delight. Enjoy:

Is your kid this cool?

It's Mardi Gras!

Why not celebrate Mardi Gras the way I do each year? Sit in front of the computer with a full bag of peanut butter cups and watch this live stream from Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Every time someone flashes the camera, eat a peanut butter cup. Repeat.

Transparent fish found!

This is pretty cool. Scientists have found a fish with a transparent head. The see-through skull helps the fish see, because its eyes can actually rotate inside his head. The transparency allows the fish to see to the sides and directly in front. Link

Did Beyonce's nipple show up at the Oscars?

Forget the surprise appearances by Tina Fey and Steve Martin on Sunday. If you have a HD television and happened to pause the Oscars at just the right moment you may have seen a little bit more of Beyonce than she intended. Judge for yourself, is that what I think it is? (Click photo for larger version)

Uh, is this a scam?

Honestly, how many grandmothers Googling for rice pudding recipes have fallen for this?

News for non-gay males

If you're a heterosexual male (or just a fan of the Amazing Race) you probably missed the Oscars last night. Here's the full list of winners and a bunch of pictures of Oscar gowns so you can hold a conversation with your co-workers today.

Man buys coffin and decides to wear it home

I don't know how Brandi and I missed this story last week! Some guy walked into a funeral home, bought a coffin, jumped in and shot himself. Fortunately, he lived... but he's now stuck with a coffin because I'm sure they're not going to accept a return. Link.

World's shortest escalator

Is this really necessary? I mean, it's 5 steps! Wouldn't a ramp have been a better option?

Rihanna's bruises

Harvey Levin and the heroes over at TMZ have obtained a photo the cops took of Rihanna after she was allegedly beat by Chris Brown on Grammy night.

The LAPD isn't too happy about the leak, and have begun an internal investigation.

Super Colon

If you're heading to Florida, skip Disney World (You don't want to bump into The Cruise's anyway) and bring the family straight to Tampa so you can visit the world's largest colon (complete with giant polyps)!

Or, for those of you on a budget this year, just stand in front of John Goodman's house in the morning and wait for him to bend over and pick up the newspaper. Same thing.

Abby Road - A Day In The Life

It would suck to live on Abby Road. Almost killing tourists on my way to work every morning doesn't sound like a fun way to commute. Someone set up a time-lapse camera on a random day to see how many idiots pose like the Beatles. Spoiler alert - lots of them did.

Laugh and go to hell...

This photo came pre-captioned from the interwebs:

Lost: Great, more questions!

Just when we started getting some answers, last night's episode has left me with a ton of new questions!

Where the hell did Aaron go? Did Kate give him back to Claire's mom? And what happened between the time Kate came back to Jack all hot and heavy... and then appeared at the airport all bitchy and pissed off? Did she find out something that has now made her very irritable? (wait for it... my theory on Kate is coming in a minute!)

What happened to Ben? What favor did he have to do for an old friend? Remember, he promised Widmore that he would kill his daughter. Did Desmond lead Ben to Penny... and did he wind up killing her???

Sayid is in cuffs? Hurley is out of prison? How did these things happen?

What's up with Jack's Grandpa? Where does he keep trying to escape to? Was the "better place" he was trying to go to actually the island? Was he trying to get back to the island by getting on the flight - and did Christian ask him to bring along some shoes so he didn' have to keep wearing those damn sneakers all over the island?

There's a ton more going on with the whole Shepard family... Remember the flashback where Christian gives Jack the watch on his wedding day? The watch belonged to Jack's Grandpa. Was this a way of making sure Jack had something of his Grandfather's so he could one day get to the island?

Aaaaah! My brain hurts. The coolest part of the episode last night, however, was how the characters all exchanged roles for flight number two:
- Lock is now playing the part of Jack's dad
- Ben rushes for the plane last minute, like Hurley did
- Sun is worried about her husband and holding the wedding ring, like Rose did
- Hurley is lugging around a guitar, like Charlie did
- Sayid is in cuffs, like Kate was
- And do you think it's possible that Kate is (here it comes) PREGNANT... like Claire was?????

This show is killing me.

Obnoxious gamer photos

Stock photographs are images web designers and graphic artists can purchase for use in their projects.

Cat diagnoses cancer!

This is an amazing story about a cat who saved his owner's life. The cat wouldn't stop pawing at the man's chest, turns out the cat was alerting him to a tumor that was growing in his lung! The full story is here, and worth a read if only for the cat-scan pun.

Christian Bale on Family Guy

I guess we're going with an animation theme this morning. These Christian Bale parodies have gotten pretty lame, but Family Guy really nailed it last night. Best line ever = "Do you punch your mother with that mouth". Let's quit while we're ahead and call this the last Christian Bale bit allowed on TV.

Simpsons in HD

Last night was the first-ever Simpsons episode broadcast in HD. If you missed it, here is the new opening sequence for the show:

Snuggie Sightings

This facination with the Snuggie is getting out of hand. Here's a website devoted to Snuggie sightings. Make sure you have your camera ready... you never know when you're going to run into someone wearing the blanket with sleeves!

13 year old stud is now a dad

If you're single this Valentine's weekend, this will really depress you. The 13 year old kid pictured to the left is totally getting more action than you. In fact, his 15 year old girlfriend just gave birth to their first child. If you really want to get creeped out, read the whole story here.

Forget the SI Swimsuit issue, here's Miss Atom!

Every year, Russia holds The Miss Atom pageant. It's a beauty pageant where the participants are all employees at nucular power plants. I think this year's winner has to be the lovely Alyona Kirsanova of Novovoronezh. Sure, all of her original teeth and hair have fallen out and her thumbs glow in the dark, but her talent of melting plastic with her eyes is going to really impress the judges! Vote for your favorite now!

Joaquin Phoenix has a body in the freezer

I sure hope that Joaquin Phoenix high. If he's not, someone is going to be murdered by him soon. This is probably one of the most awkward interviews I've seen David Letterman do. Yes, this includes Farrah Fawcett and Madonna. Then again, maybe Joaq-o is just acting...

Lost: There's Christian Shepard again!

Ok, this is my weekly geek-out on Lost.

1) I was kind of disappointed we didn't get to see more of Rousseau's group. I would be interested in knowing exactly how they get "the sickness". I'm now thinking the sickness they have isn't the same time-related sickness that Charlotte has succumbed to. Did the smoke monster take over their bodies somehow? Rousseau's husband seemed to know alot about the monster. Plus, talk about a bad day; it would really suck to bring your violin all the way to the island only to have your arm ripped out of the socket!

2) Jack's dad again? Christian knows an awful lot about this island. Which brings me to a new Christian Shepard theory. He was on the island during the early part of his life. His need to return led him to his drinking problem (just like Jack!). Like Locke, he also knew that the only way he could return to the island would be to die first. Once back on the island he would come back to life. This seems to be the scenario that is playing out with Locke... we'll have to wait and see!

3) See ya, Charlotte! I guess the next time we actually do see her she'll be a Dharma kid... and scary Faraday will try, without much success, to warn her about ever returning to the island.

Random 11 songs: Boris in college

I'm starting a new feature on the site called "Random 11 Songs". From time to time I'll post 11 songs that have some sort of theme. Today I was cleaning out some of my old cassette tapes from when I had a show at the Marist College radio station, WMCR. Looking at the playlist I realized that I was into some pretty lame stuff. And by lame, I mean awesome music that I'm embarrassed to say I still think is AWESOME. Here's a random sampling of 11. Don't judge me, it was 15 years ago.

Salma Hayek breast feeds someone else's baby?!?

Miley Cyrus loves Asians now!

So, last week we posted this photo of Miley Cyrus making racist squinty eyes while posing with an Asian kid:
Someone apparently told Miley that being racist isn't good for her career... so I now present this photo taken backstage at the Grammy Awards:I don't think Miley has ever been photographed with here eyes open so wide! If you listen carefully, you can her her inner-dialogue: "Don't squint, Miley, don't squint... whatever you do don't squint! "

Want to make your toddler look cool?

Put him on a motorcycle and let him smoke. After this video was filmed, the kid rode off on the motorcycle, picked up his old lady and stopped at a bar for some Jägerbombs.
Of course, I'm being sarcastic. Don't let your toddler smoke... at least wait until he can talk so you know he wants menthols or not.

Another banned Bud Light Ad

A listener sent us the Bud Light "Cutting The Cheese" ad last week... I think this one's even funnier:

Beer dominos

A video of beer bottles being knocked down like dominos? That's not worthy of earning a spot on BlogOfBoris. It's Swedish, you say? It's got a surprise ending that includes a knock off of my Chili Champion theme song? Well, then...

BORIS WINS!

As predicted, I was victorious at the first annual Cumulus Chili Cook Off! Boris took home the chili trophy and "Best Of Show" award for the "Cha-Ching Chili". I also got a 4.5 out of 5 from CIA chef, Mark Elias, earning a very close 2nd place in the Chef's Choice category.

This comes as no surprise, as I spent most of the morning telling Brandi that I would win, and that my chili is the greatest:

Lost: I knew it!

*Spoiler alert*



Great episode last night!

Jin is alive! (I knew it)
That was Danielle and the French people on the boat (I knew it)
It was Ben who was trying to get Aaron (I knew it)
The losties will be visiting "themselves" this season (I knew it)

Here's what else I think I know: The longer you've been on the island, the longer it takes for you to feel the effects of the time jumps (bloody nose and headaches). So why did Miles take longer to feel the effects? Because he's been on the island! Could he be Dr. Candle's son that we saw in the season opener? OK, but why is Juliette getting a nose bleed before Locke or Sawyer? She's been on the island for three years. Were the guys somehow on the island before her and didn't know it? Or is it because Locke found his "constant" (Richard Alpert) and so did Sawyer (Kate)?

Also, I'm pretty sure that Faraday is Widmore's son. I also think that his mother is "Ellie" the blond "other" that had him at gunpoint last week. The time frame fits, and the fact that Faraday was staring at her strangely seems to back it up. I also think that "Ellie" grows up to be Ms. Eloise Hawking - the grey haired lady that has appeared in Desmond's flashes... and the lady who is now apparently working with Ben in LA. That means Desmond and Penny are on the way to see her... man is he gonna freak out when he finds out who she is!!! Of course, that's if my theory is correct.

Damn I love this show! What do you think? Comments below.

Christian Bale FREAKS OUT!

Christian Bale is a douche. Apparently, he was on the set shooting "Terminator 4" at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. During a scene the director of cinematography screwed up a shot and Christian Bale went crazy, screaming "I will kick your ass" along with some other R-rated words. The rant continued for three and a half minutes.

Dude, it's a MOVIE, you're not diffusing bombs or doing brain surgery! If someone makes a little mistake no one dies, you just have to wait a few more minutes before having lunch!
