No Holds Barred: The 10 Wrestlers You Watched When You Were A Kid That are Probably Gay

In the half-decade from about 1986-1991, you probably wouldn’t have found a bigger professional wrestling fan on the planet than me, as my love of wrestling led me to to beg my grandfather to order nearly every Wrestlemania, Survival Series, Summer Slam and Royal Rumble that came on the air. This wrestling hysteria wasn’t just… Continue reading »

Wait For It…Wait For It

Sorry for the lack of posting, I’ve been busy with various flotsam AND various jetsam. And no, I’m not talking about the Little Mermaid. However, I will have a monstrous post up later tonight which I promise will be worth the wait. And if you’re bored check out Sandro’s Naughty Baseball blog. It’s only a… Continue reading »

Fast Times at the Skirball Center

4/20 passed by last week and you guys heard nary a peep from me. Nary. Was I kidnapped by a gang of ninjas eager for the blood of a young scribe? No. Was I passed out in a drug-induced stupor in a dirty corner of Silverlake, screaming, “Die Hipsters Die.” Unfortunately, that guess is also… Continue reading »

The Other Crazy Robertson

Photo By Ryan Los Anjealous  About 60 some odd years ago, the famed Los Angeles historian Carey McWilliams dropped this bit of knowledge about my home city: “this lovely place, cuckoo land, is corrupted with an odd community giddiness. Nowhere else do eccentrics flourish in such close abundance.” He was right then and he’s right… Continue reading »

We had just taken care of Sadamn and the Iraqis with the world celebrating our succesful multi-lateral invasion, a little movie called the Addams Family dominated the box office fueled by a much-loved MC Hammer song creatively titled “Addams Family Groove,” and on television, a show called Home… Continue reading »

Beards, Blazers and Cardigans: Boy Least Likely To

But more often than not, I find genre labels worthless and think that… Continue reading »

Sax on the Beach

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKKONgfNONU Sometimes my addiction to watching YouTube videos that I was obsessed with in Junior High School leads to negative thoughts and I become perilously certain that I might be a hipster. Because when you’re 24 and watching something that you loved when you were 10 or 11, you can’t be quite certain if you’re… Continue reading »

He Used to Love H.E.R.

Remember Eminem? I don’t. But apparently, he was this rapper guy who starting in 1999 was supposedly considered really really relevant to music and he released some album called The Slim Shady LP which allegedly changed the landscape of rap music forever. And I guess now that I mention it, I seem to recall really… Continue reading »
