Dead Or Alive?

The gist of this post is so simple and obvious that I would be surprised if someone else isn't already doing it on a blog or other form or media. If someone else is doing it, I've never heard of you and, quite frankly, it's not my fault that you have so little buzz that you've remained unheard of to me.

The rules are simple, I post a picture and ask the question, Dead or Alive? then you answer.

This week, I'm getting heavy on you. It's Osama Bin Laden! So, what do you think? Dead or Alive?



ps. Note the dreamy head shot.

This Just In: Disney Announces Ultimate Band Video Game

Disney Interactive Studios announced that's going to bring out it's own version of the video game Rock Band, called Ultimate Band for the Nintendo Wii and DS later this year.

This new music experience game will allow players to build their own band or jam alone using the Wii Remote and DS stylus. According to Disney, the game will feature some of the biggest names in a variety of music genres including rock, alternative, pop, and emo.

As long as the music is good, this game should be a huge seller as it's the first major music game that doesn't require players to buy the additional expensive controllers.

It Just Keeps Coming

I woke up this morning and looked out the window to see more snow falling. I figured it would have ended over night since it started to taper off around 10 last night. That's when we went outside and built Pablo the Snowman.

I know, its a pretty bad attempt but we were cold and drunk and it looked good last night in the dark. If this snow keeps up, I'm going to build an entire Snowman army.

Snow Daze

We are slowly getting the study set up at the house. Eventually, this room will have a wall lined in book shelves and lots of heavy wood and leather chairs. For now, I've got my home office set up in the study with the fire going and I just looked out the window to see it's snowing ... again. It has been about four days since the last heavy snowfall so I guess I should have expected it. Thank god I bought a case of wine.

I'm not sure if you can see the snow in this picture but this is the view from the study.



Uh-oh, I better throw another log on the fire.

Mean Spirited Monday - The Oscars

Every Monday morning I post a picture of some random celebrity, or non-celebrity for you to comment on. Remember to have fun and be mean spirited with your comments.

This week, The Oscars. Let the Meanness begin!


I'll get things started. What a load of self congratulatory bull shit. I haven't seen an Oscar awards show that dull since the last time Billy Crystal hosted it. Thank god I was too drunk to remember most of last night's show.

PS. Have the Hollywood trainers been on strike for the past three months? There were a few actors at the awards last night who looked as if they have been packing on the pounds and I doubt its for an upcoming roll.

More Toy Fair Updates

After six straight days of showroom and booth tours, I'm a little toyed out but I'm finally done Toy Fair and slowly but surely blogging all about it over on the Toy Guy website. Check it out by clicking here. I should be back to posting here regularly with a new edition of Dead or Alive? on Friday.

This week, Ben Linus from lost. Let the Meanness begin!


I'll get things started - I hate how smug and manipulative this little weasel is. They should have killed him when they had the chance.

My first two Toy Fair recaps have been posted on theToyGuy Blog. You can check them out now by clicking here.

I don't remember how this week's subject came up in conversation but it happened on two separate occasions with two completely different groups of people. It's Mr. Belvedere himself, Christopher Hewett*. So, is he Dead or Alive?



*Don't feel bad if you didn't know the actor's name. I had to look it up.

Toy Fair Time

I'll be running around New York City for the next five days for Toy Fair. I'll pop in whenever I can and fill you in on all the toy goodness.

My Thoughts On Big Brother 9

So did you watch last night? I have one thing to say - Best Season Ever!

I was on the edge of my couch for the entire episode and love all the new twists and turns. I won't divulge anything in case you Tivo'd and haven't watched yet but only Big Brother would force complete strangers to sleep together.

My only complaint was that the show was too short but thankfully, there is a new episode on tonight! Let the writers go back on strike and take all their crappy sitcom, dramas with them - we've got a winter Big Brother!

For much more extensive and funny commentary, check out what Jdizzle had to say over at Hometown Hangover

Oh What A Night and Day

Sorry to leave you hanging yesterday without a Mean Spirited Monday but we had a hell of A Sunday night and I was too exhausted to come up with anything mean or otherwise to say yesterday.

Here is what happened. A friend of ours was visiting from MA (about an hour and fifteen minutes away) and we all went over to another friend's house up here in our neck of the woods for a big country lunch. After a great meal, we said our goodbyes and the MA friend dropped Seth & I off back at our house and headed home.

Even though it was just a little past 7pm, it was pitch dark and about thirty minutes later we got a call from MA friend who was now in an ambulance on her way to the hospital. It turns out, her GPS was taking her home by a different route and in the dark, she thought she was going the way she had come, when at a dangerous and sudden curve in the road, which she thought was going to turn the opposite direction, she lost control of her car, flipped it and spun off the road. Fortunately, she was ok, and walked away with a concussion, and some pretty bad and bloody bruises.

We hopped in our car and headed out to pick her up at the hospital, then off to the police station and finally to try and find her car so she could get her stuff out. We then drove her home to her apartment in central MA and stayed the night there to keep an eye on her. None of us got much sleep and Seth and I finally headed home yesterday around 7am.

In other much better news, my sister had her baby yesterday! A healthy baby boy (her second). Everyone is doing great and gifts for the baby can be sent to me in the form of cash with a note telling me what you would like me to buy with the cash.

I read yesterday that Val Kilmer has just been signed on to do the voice of KITT in the new NBC remake of "Knight Rider". Which makes me wonder, why not bring back the original voice, William Daniels? Perhaps he is stuck working on a "Boy Meets World" reunion. But what we should really be asking is, William Daniels, Dead or Alive?

Here We Snow Again

Yesterday was the closest we have come to actually seeing the ground up here in the mountains. We haven't had any snow accumulate in weeks and it's actually been warm enough for what we had on the ground to melt. Until this morning! I woke up to see everything covered once again and the snow keeps on falling.


I'm not sure if you can see the snow falling in this picture but it's there! I better get into town and stock up on booze before I'm snowed in.

What's The Gayest Thing On Television?

No, it isn't this guy

Christian from Project Runway.


Or even this guy

Charles Nelson Riley from Match Game.


It isn't even this guy

Troy Aikman from football.


It's this

Make Me A Supermodel on Bravo.

Each week, the gaggle of Zoolander wanna-bes are put in challenges that conveniently (for the viewer) require the models to take off their clothes. It's trashtastic TV viewing at it's best! I'm really pulling for Ronnie (no pun intended).

Sarah Silverman on Jimmy Kimmel

In case you haven't already seen this, it's Sarah Silverman on Jimmy Kimmel's show. She dropped by to break the news to Jimmy that she has been fucking Matt Damon. And what better way to break that news than a music video. It's long but worth watching all the way through.

Mean Spirited Monday

Every Monday morning I post a picture of some random celebrity, or non-celebrity for you to comment on. Remember to have fun and be mean spirited with your comments.

This week: As I mentioned in my earlier post (scroll down) I bet on the Patriots to win yesterday so for that reason, this week's M.S.M. victim is New England Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady. Let the Meanness begin!

Party Of Three

I can't believe I'm going to type this but, that was one hell of a game yesterday. We had a small Bowl party up here in the mountains that consisted of me, Seth and our new best friend - TiVo. This is our first TiVo since we always had the Time Warner DVR box when we lived in NYC. This little thing is amazing - not only does it have all the DVR features we were expecting, but we can also use it to stream pictures, music and movies from our computers to the TV. And of course, it has all those great noises.

So back to our Bowl party, we started off early with Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl, which if you have never seen it, is the cutest thing on TV. Every year they get a gang of insanely adorable puppies and put them all together in an enclosed miniature football stadium. The dogs just run around playing with toys and each other and having fun - it's great!

After the puppies it was time for the Super Bowl. Jordan Sparks did a great job singing the National Anthem in a studio sometime last week. Too bad she didn't do as good of a job lip-synching to it last night. And how about Tom Petty! He was on my list for a future Dead or Alive? I'm not sure if I'll be taking him off that list but it was still a great show. Overall, I was unimpressed with the commercials but blown away by the game itself. Unfortunately, I had money on the Patriots.

Awesome!

At dinner with friends last night, a great Dead or Alive? subject came up in conversation. Our table was somewhat divided on the answer to this one so what do you think, Jack Klugman, Dead or Alive?
