I’ve been ambivalent about a TV show before, so I know how ambivalence feels. This is not ambivalence. This is disdain. I’m probably going to miss the show next week and I don’t care. I may or may not watch it later in the week. Who knows? I hope 24 is better tonight, but I bet it won’t be.

This 24 Tag will take you to ALL of the ‘24′ related content on Unlikelywords.

We’ll get going below the fold at 9PM EST.

Saturday Night Live Punk Skit

Saturday Night Live went punk this past weekend in one of their better skits in years. Really, just watch it. This is the best Dave Grohl cameo since he randomly showed up on drums for Tom Petty’s appearance a couple years ago. HOLY CRAP THAT WAS 15 YEARS AGO!

Peyton Manning’s Interception Quote

Via Kenny, Jorge Arangure’s amazing Twitter update:

Hey I’m sure when Peyton Manning was growing up he always wanted to throw the TD pass that gave the Saints a Super Bowl win. Now he has.

Which lead to the return of the Manning Face. Not seen in these parts for several years.

Creepy Back to the Future III Kid is Creepy

It’s very hard for me to understand what could possibly be happening in this video. The kid is motioning on the DL for some reason, and then all of a sudden, he points to his junk. Just watch, you’ll see.

About the Time I Locked Myself in an Office

I’ve learned from the government that if you have to release something embarrassing, you do it as close to the end of the day on Friday as possible. Well, here you go. Mind the cursing. (By the way, I put tape on the lock so it wouldn’t happen to anyone else.)

Thanks to Zack for helping me get out documenting the situation.

Our Media’s Understanding of Statistics

This about sums up our beloved media.

Wu-Tang Clan Beatles Mashup

Here’s the Wu-Tang/Beatles Mashup that everyone linked to last week. It got lost in my tabs so I’m just getting to it now. It sounds pretty good and I bet if I liked the Beatles this would have suddenly become my favorite album. The cover art was done by Logan Walters who did the Wu-Tang vs Blue Note album covers from last year. You can listen to the whole album streaming or download it for free and I suggest you do.

Brad Pitt Close to Optioning Another Michael Lewis Book

Looks like Brad Pitt’s production company is about to option another Michael Lewis book. One that hasn’t even come out yet.

Plan B Entertainment, is closing on a deal to option Lewis’s next book, The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine, a chronicle of Wall Street greed and the swollen U.S. housing market. Pitt is also considering starring.

I swear if someone doesn’t start making a movie about Liar’s Poker soon, I’m going to start typing in all caps. And I’ll mean it, too. The fact that it’s not a movie yet makes me itchy.

Haven’t Posted About Zombies in a While

This chart not only has zombies, but ninjas and pirates, as well. How could I not?

Scary Japanese Hornets Are Scary

These Japanese hornets have a stinger that’s a quarter of an inch long, can fly 25 MPH and travel 60 miles in a day. If they feel like it, 30 of them can take out a hive of 30K European honey bees in 3 hours. The honey bees are pretty much defenseless, except sometimes 100 of them can trap a Japanese hornet in a tight ball that suffocates them. Yeah, these hornets are scary as shit.
