Apparently today is Nerd Christmas, because this photo is getting passed around the Geekosphere with remarkable alacrity. It’s Dirk Benedict and Katee Sackhoff having a cup of coffee in a cafe together. Or, in “Battlestar Galactica” fanboy parlance: Starbuck and Starbuck drinking Starbucks in Starbucks. You’ll notice that Benedict is drinking the original hot coffee, while Sackhoff opted for the newer, sexier iced coffee. I like to think that their entire conversation was “Malkovich? Malkovich. MALKOVICH!”

Close the door and buckle your sweatpants, nerds, because this is the coolest mash-up I’ve seen in ages: “Battlestar Galactica” set to the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage,” with the scenes cut to mirror the iconic ’90s/faux-’70s music video (see the incredible side-by-side video below, via BuzzFeed).

Now, granted, I may be overhyping the coolness slightly because “Sabotage” automatically makes anything 30% better (seriously, try having sex while it’s playing on your stereo). But I doubt it. As someone who rarely spends more than an hour writing anything, the time that must have gone into making this video is mind-boggling to me. The only way you could improve this concept is if it was three minutes of Tricia Helfer pole-dancing set to “Sabotage.” It wouldn’t be as faithful to the Beasties’ video, but then, it wouldn’t need to be, now would it?

I’ll be honest: there are plenty of relevant TV stories out on the Internet today, but nothing is particularly inspiring to write about, so here’s Katee Sackhoff (aka Starbuck from “Battlestar Galactica”) in the August edition of Esquire UK (via bohemea).  More like Katee Whack-off, amirite?!?!?  Ahem.  Anyway, she’s slightly more glamorous in low-cut dresses than when she’s chomping on cigars and punching people — which is sexy in its own right.

Of course, avid TV watchers know that Sackhoff – who will join the cast of “24″ next season — is no stranger to being attractive, as she was also in a couple episodes of the fifth season of “Nip/Tuck” (a role taken over by Rose McGowan).  Screencaps included as evidence, plus there’s a video clip here.  Because I’m cool like that.  Cool like the drunk uncle who sneaks you booze and porn.  When you’re eight.
