Infographic of NASA's next fleet of spacecraft →
Good news: We’re going back to the moon.
Bad news: The best thing that NASA could come up with was putting an Apollo lander on top of a giant single use rocket.
NASA is trying to get U.S. astronauts back to the moon by 2020.
While I’m glad to see NASA’s planning a serious manned mission out of Earth orbit again, at the same time I’m a bit disappointed. We went to the...
A Schrute Family Christmas →
“Initially I thought, what my family does in the privacy of our compound does not concern you, but then I had a change of heart after watching a special Christmas television program with Mose. In the program, a skinny green monster impersonated Santa Claus, broke into the homes of an entire village, and repeatedly committed felony burglary.

I don’t recall at any point telling Fandango or Facebook that this was ok. It’s entirely possible that at somepoint I...

The recession I can handle, but this has dealt a death blow to my well being. Sparks was always there for me on those Saturday afternoons when I was too hungover to drink, but needed to. Or when the party just wasn’t bumping and just needed to get started. Without the extra goodies, Sparks just becomes a...

MillerCoors agreed to stop selling Sparks, a caffeinated alcohol drink, as part of an agreement Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan announced Thursday.
I just wanted to get in early on what is sure to be the most reblogged story of all time.
By “most reblogged” I think you mean “most devisive”. Unlike Obama v McCain, I feel like there’s...

Erik! We have to buy up all the Sparks in the Washington Metro Area and I am not effing kidding. Look, MillerCoors, sometimes I just want to Hulk out without having to order a Jaeger Bomb or a Redbull...

Which band would you be more embarrassed to admit to liking?
Fall Out Boy

Clearly I am a FOB fan. Whatever. Patrick Stump has an amazing voice, they are a FUN band and they can and frequently take the piss out of themselves. MCR is full of sisies who sing about sissy things; they’re probably cutters and do shit like write the names of former...

Three-way tie. We need a tiebreaker. Or we would, if we were competiting. I guess we can all share the imaginary trophy.
