Merry Christmas/100th Post
Hooray! We've now been rocking your face off for an unprecedented 100 posts! Unprecedented in the history of ever. None of this would be possible without you, the loyal readership, so pat yourselves on the back. From the beginning, way back in August of 2007, we've grown by leaps and bounds, providing nothing but the best drivel and low-brow commentary. In honor of this momentous occasion, I've decided to stay the course (if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and literally tens of hits over the past year and a half don't lie) and make a post just like all the others. Only longer. Enjoy.
First off, a very special treat - you may have seen this, but Drunk Jeff Goldblum is well worth a second look. Videogum was kind enough to compile a list of the 8 Best, so check them out, but here is the original.
Here's a nice post from Hotair.com entitled "Scientists Scoff at AP Global Warming Story." It pretty much sums up what's wrong with the current state of global warming propaganda-alarmism and how it's being used to drive policy. Even if you don't agree with me, you should still read this and make up your own mind about how facts are being manipulated.
And here's a nice little piece on Mr. Obama's pick as his science adviser, proving that you don't need to know science to talk about science. And in case you're wondering, yes, I do know science.
On a lighter note, here's a great blog called Club Trillion - while it is indirectly basketball-related (he very rarely talks about basketball), it is very well written and quite funny. I won't go into his whole story or the meaning of the blog's name, but do yourself a favor and check it out.
If you're having trouble remembering the reason for the season, watch this Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode, the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past. It's a high-quality episode of a hit-or-miss series. Prepare to be heart-warmed.
Here's Videogum.com's list of the 8 worst people of 2008. It's pretty right-on.
Finally, I figured we should end this post the way we started, so here are the 15 Weirdest Jeff Goldblum moments courtesy of Screenjunkies.com. Merry Christmas. Be good to people and don't drink and drive.

Videogum stole the jeff goldblum list idea from screenjunkies. That's sort of a bitch move.
December 25, 2008 9:23 AM JJ Abrams commented: "Videogum stole the jeff goldblum idea from screenjunkies." Then he indicated his disdain for this perceived lack of journalistic integrity with a colloquialism which included a word you couldn't say on network TV 10 years ago. So, while it pains me to remove one of the 10 or so comments this blog has received since its inception, I've done it[Ed. - no I haven't, see below]. Not because the language offends me, but rather because I don't think it's quite in keeping with the intent of the "Merry Christmas/100th post" theme. I have, however, included the edited version above and have prepared a response to the comment, which follows.
Dear Mr. Abrams,
Thanks for taking time out of your busy shooting/editing/producing schedule to read my lowly blog. I know how in-demand you are these days, and as such, that your time is very valuable. To save you the time and effort, I have checked the timestamps on both the videogum and the screenjunkies posts, and while they were both posted on the same day, only the screenjunkies post has a time of day listed. So, it's impossible to truly tell which came first. However, the comments on videogum began at 6:14 PM on 12/18, whereas the screenjunkies comments don't start until the next day. Inconclusive, but one could argue that this might indicate that the videogum post came first. Or, perhaps the videogum fans are just more rabid, or lonelier. It's also worth noting that videogum has more Jeff Goldblum-related material. Alas, I suppose it doesn't matter, but we all love a good mystery now and then. For what it's worth, I feel that the two posts in question are different enough to warrant separate posts, each of which are entertaining in their own right. Thanks so much for your comment, and happy holidays - I'm really pumped for Star Trek; the trailer looks amazing! Oh, and thanks for helping make our 100th post the most star-studded, action-packed one yet!!!!!!!!!
UPDATE - I decided not to delete the comment in question so everyone will believe me that THE JJ Abrams reads my blog.
Merry Christmas!
