In the proud tradition of other great train wreck live music performances (remember Stephanie MacIntosh?) I present to you the G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S Fergie hitting all sorts of ungodly notes, and missing 99% of her vocal cues, whilst murdering “Live and Let Die”.

Here’s a yule tide funny. Got sent this image this morning of a Christmas tree, supposedly from Frankston. If you don’t know where Frankston is, or know nothing of its reputation, lets just say that it is often the punchline to a lot of jokes. Frankston seems to be one of the more common suburbs/towns [...]

Looks like those that have signed up and passed the $50 mark will get their payments well and truly before Christmas.

The IT Crowd is one of those British comedy gems that pops up out of the blue every now and then. As the name suggests, it’s geek humor at its finest. Personally, I find it freakin hilarious. If you haven’t seen it, the show centers around two IT Support technicians and their technologically challenged boss, [...]
