Woodward on Millionaire

Screen snap from a recent Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Camp Woodward as the subject of one of the questions. Wow, a fly box? no way. I’ve never seen one in person. Har, har. If anyone caught this on video let me know please. Via Neal Hendrix on Facebook

Stacy Peralta on George Stroumboulopoulos

Almost 11 minutes of Stacy Peralta being interviewed by George Stroumboulopoulos. Well, 7 minutes once you get past the intro. Nothing earth shattering or new, for that matter, but not boring actually. Worth it just to watch the brief exchange about the Hollywood and the Lords of Dogtown at around 9:30. BTW, there’s another round […]

Survey Says?

It sounds like one of MC’s comics but we have it from a reliable source that the following question recently appeared on a Family Feud episode: My mom told me one of the questions on family feud yesterday was, “Name something men keep doing even though they are too old.” She gloated in telling me […]

The reflective nature of the trophy […]

Melody will get yer goat, but you’ll be Happie

Pretty easy to have the record if you’re the only one doing it. I predict Dyrek will be visiting the Goat mills soon to make sure this, uh, respected honor belongs to a real skateboarder. Basically, the goat jumps on the skateboard and stands still until the momentum dies. I think I’ll see if I […]

Coming out of the closet: UPDATED

That’s right S&A readers. I’m taking this opportunity to bravely throw off the shackles of oppression and let everyone know that I… Well, how do I put this? I like Ellen Degeneres. OK, her TV show doesn’t appeal to me but as a stand up performer and showbiz personality, I’m a fan of her. Ellen […]
