Deep Thoughts By No-Look McFadden: Episode 19
#1
There really isn’t much I can add to this to make it any funnier. So behold … the Better Marriage Blanket.
#2
I admit that I got the giggles watching Walter toking the kind bud on the retro episode of “Fringe.” Then Throwback Dunham walked in and those giggles quickly turned into gasps.
#3
Do you remember when Indiana Jones was forced to drink the blood of kali ma in the “Temple of Doom”? Well, when Ube is on the changing table, her shimmying looks almost exactly like Indy’s (5:38 mark of this video). Makes for some nervous moments.

We love El Rodeo. To paraphrase “City Slickers,” “It’s hot, cheap and plenty of it.” And no one is claiming that it’s going to win any awards in the Mexican culinary realm.
But even they could not have been thrilled one Friday night when a horse trailer showed up in their parking lot.
And now to quote “Seinfeld” during the episode about Kenny Rogers Roasters: “That’s not going to be good for business.”
“That’s not going to be good for anybody.”

I loved the A-Team as a kid. Hell, maybe my first shoplifting experience involved ripping open a Mr. T action figure package and bogarting some of his weaponry.
That being said, I don’t think I can adequately describe how freaking stupid the new A-Team movie looks.

If rumors are true and “24” is going off the air for good after this season, they’re certainly not holding back anything. In a scene that had to challenge the censors, Jack Bauer gives his hostage an awake stomach exam with a knife in order to retrieve a SIM card. And apparently, stomach acid has little effect on SIM cards, because it still worked. Kudos, Sprint!

How is Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing different than San Diego’s Shawne Merriman? After it was announced that Cushing would receive a four-game suspension for failing a drug test, the AP decided to revote on the Defensive Rookie of the Year Award, which Cushing had won. After the 2005 season, Merriman won Defensive Rookie of the Year, even though he failed a drug test and was suspended for the first four games of 2006. He finished third in the Defensive Player of the Year voting after that season, sparking Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor, who won the award, to ask how a guy who was doing ‘roids could be eligible for such a reward.
What has changed since then?
#8
A few great recent references on “30 Rock”: a church called “Our Lady of Reluctant Integration” and a product called Pajamaralls -- yup, a Snuggie knockoff that combines pajamas and overalls. Love it.
#9
I consider myself very open-minded when it comes to social media channels and emerging social networking platforms. But I just can't shake the opinion that FourSquare is really, really fucking stupid.
#10
Huge ups to former NC State golfer Timmy Clark. Recently dogged by criticism that he’s the best player never to have won a PGA event (although nearly $15 million in career earnings isn’t a bad consolation prize), all he did was go out and win the freaking Players Championship, the so-called “fifth major.” Powered by a mesmerizing four-birdie-in-a-row streak in the middle of his final round, he came from behind and drained a clutch eight-footer to prove he wouldn’t be denied on this day.
Great “W” for T.C., and one that was celebrated throughout Wolfpack Nation.
