Tonight Show - Freestylin' with The Roots

I'll be honest, this edition felt a little weak to me. That is, until yacht rock made an appearance. There's nothing like spontaneously created smooth music.

Game Grumps - Michael Ian Black

Michael Ian Black appears as a guest on Game Grumps and plays the hit blockbuster game Birthday Bash.



"We don't care what else you do - you want laser gremlins, do laser gremlins..."

Michael Ian Black's great. I wish he was in more things.

The Super Boring

I have an ongoing project to boycott the Super Bowl as long as I don't have a rooting interest

(Pre-2011, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016).

It seemed to me that a good manly way to commemorate the Super Bowl would be to have a nice steak for dinner. Unfortunately, I screwed up cooking it and completely ruined it. By "ruined" I don't mean that it wasn't very good, by "ruined" I mean it was completely inedible. In fact, eating it would have been dangerous.

Not Pictured: My steak's wellness.

So then I made some spaghetti and fortunately I didn't ruin that.

Next up was what to watch. For Christmas I received a DVD of the "Best Of" the Super Mario Bros. Super Show, so I thought I'd watch that. The fact that it contained the word "super" seemed too good to pass up. But it turns out, it's just the cartoon segments without the live-action segments with Captain Lou Albano. Come on, that was the best part!



Gotta have Lou. So then I turned it off. I could've watched a few episodes on Youtube but I didn't think of that at the time.

Earlier in the evening, a new episode of Best of the Worst was released so I watched that.



Of course, in the process of writing this I realized that Best of the Worst is what I did last year too. And I've used the word play of this post's title before as well. Bahhh! This whole thing is a giant sham.

An imperfect night but pretty good, over all.

10th President John Tyler

In second grade, my class went learned cursory facts about each and every U.S. President in order. It was perhaps because 1988 was an election year. As a young child it came as a small shock that there was going to be a new president. I assumed Ronald Reagan was going to be president forever. But whatever the case, those lessons sparked an interest in the Presidents that's lasted ever since.

But even with my inclination towards the subject, I couldn't tell you a single interesting thing about 10th President John Tyler.*

Until now.

It turns out that John Tyler, who was born in 1790 has a grandchild who is still alive today. That's right.

Born in 1790, Tyler had a child in 1853, when he was 63.
That child had a child in 1924, when he was 71.
That child, born in 1924, is now 92 and still alive.

Tonight Show - Bachelor Reenactment

For those that missed the high drama that is "The Bachelor", Tariq and Questlove reenact the pivotal scene. Be warned: this is intense.



There's something else I'd like to see. Interspersed with all the scenes in these "reality" shows is always the participants speaking directly to the camera. They could incorporate those as Shakespearean soliloquies. One stands up, gets a spotlight and delivers their lofty dialogue.

Ernie - I Don't Want to Live on the Moon

This is the song that was going through my head as I woke up this morning. What does it all mean?
