I love “The Simpsons.”  I can barely go five minutes without using a line from the show in conversation.  However, I’m not sure I’d want a mosaic table of Milhouse and Lisa drinking alcohol while Moe and Mr. Burns watched them.

I went through a ceramic tile-mosaic phase a few years back… It was fun; I would randomly break up tiles with a hammer and then rearrange the bits into pictures. Most of these tiles were freebies-leftovers from the local home improvement store. To get the proper yellowish skin tone, though, I had to go with some plates found at Target in the clearance section… I freehanded the characters while referencing a book.

Okaaaaay.  A little weird, but nothing over the top.  I happen to enjoy a good arts and crafts project.  Like that time I glued macaroni to my penis.

I thought it would be appropriate for Milhouse to have the wine, and Lisa the Duff beer.

Ummmm… This word “appropriate” — I do not think it means what you think it means.  It’s common custom in America to consider giving eight-year-olds alcohol inappropriate.  Believe me, the judge went on and on about it at my sentencing.  It’s like, okay, I get it, just let me get started on introducing myself to my neighbors already.

Men in Short-Shorts Day continues at Warming Glow with this fan video by Jonathan Mann dedicated to “Battlestar Galactica.”  If there were rules governing the wear of short-shorts by men, Rule Number 5 would definitely be “Anyone named Jonathan Mann has free reign to wear short-shorts at any time.”

Anyway, the song’s lyrics stick to the plot chronologically, and there are no serious spoiler alerts for anyone who has never seen the show, which I’m sure fans and non-fans alike can appreciate.  I know a little something about Internet videos, and I can assure you: this video is the right combination of a catchy tune, low-tech effects, and a  man in short-shorts to set the world on fire.  Well, okay, maybe there’s not quite enough man in short-shorts.

Megan Hauserman is a former Playboy Cybergirl who won the the third season of “Beauty and the Geek” before gorging on the teat of VH1 — she competed in “Rock of Love: Season 2,” “I Love Money,” and “Rock of Love Charm School.”

In other words, she’s just the kind of scholar and patriot that upstanding young Americans should be getting tattooed on their upper arms.

[This] is, from what we understand, a very real expression of one man’s love for VH1’s own Megan Hauserman. At last, fan behavior that out-does the ridiculousness of reality TV! This is where we’re progressing as a viewership, people. The owner of this fine inkwork is one Eddie who lives in Estero, Florida (per his MySpace). Megan tells us that he owns two Lily-esque Chihuahuas named, of course, Lily and Megan. Frankly, she seems thrilled to have a dog named after her. Go figure.

I appreciate Eddie’s honesty.  He knows who he is, what his expectations in life are.  Big-name talented celebrities are out of his stalking league.  Even Playboy centerfolds are a little too good for him.  But that one girl who got naked on the Web and was on all those reality shows?  That’s a woman he can really get a restraining order from.
