Set Phasers to Awesome This is an oldie, but a goody. Hilarious and awesome.
I am stopped at a red light at the intersection of 99 Street and Saskatchewan Drive. A young boy—no older than 5 or 6—is walking with his mother. “Mom! Look! A motorcycle!” he pauses for a moment, to look more closely, “I think it’s a Harley!” His mother smiles and looks at me. I smile [...]
I’m no fan of Michael Bay, but referring to the man as being “like Hitler” seems just a tad over-the-top. And yet, Megan Fox was content to do just that in a recent interview. As you might suspect, Michael Bay actually has a lot of people who are friends and/or fans. Those include members of [...]
