Tue ,23/03/2010
Aw man!  Why didn't I think of THAT one!

Aw man! Why didn't I think of THAT one!

I imagine that if you’re dead, you’re probably pretty easy to piss off.  Add to it the pressure of having to seduce and drink blood, and you’ve got an undead powderkeg on your hands!   Since I’m not just going after any particular fandom, we’ll have several types of vampires in this week’s list.  That, and I didn’t know what else to write about, and I just needed the filler.  Enjoy!

Hot Nerd Crush: Johnny Galecki and Grace Park

Looks like this and still pulls tail.  It's not fair, I tells ya!

Looks like this and still pulls tail. It's not fair, I tells ya!

Welcome back!  Let’s talk about nerdbait, shall we?  The purpose of Hot Nerd Crush is not to profile hot nerds.  That some of them happen to be so is an afterthought.  No, these are people who I, as a nerd (Sorry Mom, but it’s true.) find attractive.  And, to put my brother’s mind at ease, no, I’m not gay, not that it’s any of your business, and I wish you’d stop telling people that!  Anyways, one is a hyperintelligent smartass, and the other is one of the hottest androids to walk the Earth!  Hot Nerd Crush Johnny Galecki and Grace Park after the jump!

Chuck Norris vs Old Age

The only job that Chuck's past career has prepared him for.

The only job that Chuck's past career has prepared him for.

The constant butt of jokes around here Chuck Norris reached the age of 70 last week, and there’s no reason we should stop making fun of him.  I mean, what’s he going to do?  Slap me with his walker (Texas Ranger)?  Heh. It would appear that Chuck has come up against an adversary that he can’t simply kick into submission.  So, as we all fall to the enemy that is time, let’s take a look at how Chuck will deal with this particular bad guy who isn’t a motorcycle thug or a ninja.  Chuck vs. Old Age after the jump.

Hot Nerd Crush: Deborah Foreman and Chris Sarandon

What'd I say?  If I can find them in glasses, that's how they're going up here.

What'd I say? If I can find them in glasses, that's how they're going up here.

It’s been awhile since I’ve done the Hot Nerd Crush, huh?  Odd of me, considering the piece I wrote on Malcolm McDowell is my most visited article to date.  Very well!  I’m sorry it’s been so long since I’ve visited the subject of who I thought was hot.  This week, I have a couple of blasts from the past, but don’t discount them based on that.  I’ve seen women visibly swoon over one of them, and the other is still a hot piece of…well, let’s be polite, shall we?  Deborah Foreman and Chris Sarandon after the jump.

The Fights I Like To Avoid

Yo dawg!  I head you like bitin' other dawgs.  Here ya go!

Yo dawg! I head you like bitin' other dawgs. Here ya go!

Being a surly, slightly overweight nerd, I’m certain you’re thinking that I’m about to say “physical confrontation” and the fights I like to avoid.  You’d be wrong this time, however.  Certain groups of people tear into each other verbally or in whatever way, and I just get embarassed or bothered to the point that I can’t BE bothered.   Everyone knows everyone has an opinion or two of their own.  There’s just no need to force it out of most people.  The Fights I Like To Avoid…and why, after the jump.

Nontraditional Fathers and Sons

Talk back to me again, and you'll be riding high tide, you got that?

Talk back to me again, and you'll be riding high tide, you got that?

Today is my son’s birthday.  In honor of this, I’m going to write a little piece about some of my favorite father/son relationships.  However, as is my wont here at ManWithPez, none of these are what you’d consider traditional father/son relationships, ohhhhh no.  In fact,  only one pair is actually blood related.  Having said that, I think we’ll do without the typical rank structure I usually employ with these types of lists, and just jump in.  Who’s ready?  I know I am, and before I go on…Happy 7th, Alexander.  Daddy is very proud of you.  Fathers and sons after the jump.

Streaming Theater: Repetition Is The Key!

Yeah, I said his teeth are as yellow as his eyes!  Scary, I know!

Yeah, I said his teeth are as yellow as his eyes! Scary, I know!

I don’t know why, but I find the following cartoon clips funny.  They’re really just repeated sayings from certain shows edited down to just those key things I find funny.  Find out why I think is so damn funny after the jump, but I warn you…there’s one clip in here that started me off laughing for a good ten minutes, and I STILL can’t explain why!  Videos for you after the jump!

My Favorite Toadies! (Spoilers)

Not the toad I meant, bu...ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!

Not the toad I meant, bu...ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!

You know, ThatCostumeGirl and I argued over whether or not to call this group of people Lackeys or Toadies.  Turns out, they mean almost the same thing, really.  There is enough difference, however, that it looks like she won.  So, Toadies it is!  Besides, it’s the cooler sounding term anyways.  Now, there will be some on the list that you disagree with.  Indeed, there are some that start out as toadies, and then distinguish themselves otherwise further in the story.  For however brief a time, however, they were all in glorious servitude, and happy to be so!  So, here they are in rank order:  My Favorite Toadies, after the jump!

Ten New Ways to Annoy People: The Offspring Edition

Look at her!  She's just begging to be annoyed!

Look at her! She's just begging to be annoyed!

Yes, yes, children are little people too.  Little, loud, snotty, annoying people, too.  I oughta know!  I’ve helped created two of them!  And, it just so happens that their birthdays are forthcoming.  So, get ready to see a post or two devoted to them.  Children annoy me so much that I think of it as a public service to help other in finding ways to bug the little turd droppers.  Now, tread carefully here.  Invariably, you will be called immature for trying to get under the skin of someone much younger than you.  Screw that!  As far as I’m concerned, they have it coming, what with they’re trying to figure out how the world works and their innate curiosity.  The NERVE!  Ten New Ways to Annoy the young after the jump.

Streaming Theater: Why Wakko Warner?

Thu ,18/02/2010
The best library companions ever!  Or, the worst, depending on how you look at it.

The best library companions ever! Or, the worst, depending on how you look at it.

I’ve made no secret that I’m a huge fan of Animaniacs.  In fact, in my office here at the ManWithPez Central, the siblings sit next to some of my leatherbound books.  I love my leathers, and I keep Wakko, Yakko, and Dot on the same level.  I honestly believe that it was one of the funniest cartoons ever made.  Actually, I still believe that.  Wakko was always my favorite, mostly because he’s completely different from his brother and sister, and not just because he has a completely different accent from them.  He thinks, acts, and genuinely is apart from them in every way.  In a very good, very funny way.  Watch some Wakko with me after the jump, won’t you?
