A few years ago I was a freshman at college. I liked getting high, but didn’t smoke every day. A casual smoker, I mostly mooched weed off my friends, seldom purchasing any myself. When I did smoke, I’d only watch two movies: Half Baked and Zoolander. I assure you that these movies never got old. It was April 20th and everyone was talking about going to one of the glass shops to buy a piece. That was the day I met “Jimi The Bong”.
As I mourn the closing of one of the finest eras in action television with the upcoming series finale of 24 (fittingly on Monday, May 24), I cannot help but the think of the tremendous void that will be left in my life without the weekly serving of stone cold justice dished out by CTU Agent Jack Bauer. As I savor the last few hours of 24’s final day, I understand that the time has come to move on and find a new TV hero. But, before we close the book on 24, I must take a moment to pay homage to an individual whom without there would be no Jack Bauer. Yes, I’m talking about you Chuck Norris. Chuck, you 70-year-old martial arts dynamo, you have inspired today’s generation of ass-kicking and buddy, this is your life (summarized in 10 priceless contributions to society).
My grandmother always told me that it was best to get informations “straight from the horse’s mouth.” Who better to offer up their two cents on creating hilarious viral videos than rising comics Nick Kroll (Ruxin from FX’s The League a.k.a. Robert Bruscha a.k.a. Bobby Bruscha a.k.a. Bobby Bottleservice) and Donald Glover (Troy from NBC’s Community/not Danny Glover’s son)? Check out this exclusive video with the two jokers backstage at the AXE Twisted Comedy Tour, courtesy of our friends at Atom.com.
In his final movie appearance prior to his tragic death, Dirty Work, SNL regular Chris Farley portrays a noseless man named Jimmy and steals the show with the line “In the land of the blind, the man with one eye is king. In the land of the skunk, the one nostriled man is king.” Well Chris, in the land of late night comedy, Saturday Night Live is king. On Monday we showed you five classic sketches that have helped establish SNL as the unquestioned leader of laughter and today we are here to round out the rest of the list (that needed to be expanded by one since there are just too many hilarious skits to go around).
Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, and Will Ferrell. Just a few of the dozens of A-list starts who got their start on Saturday Night Live, the late-night 90-minute comedy variety show that has been running on NBC every Saturday evening since 1975. 19 Emmy awards, scores of sketch-inspired movies, and millions of laughs later, SNL remains the unquestioned top dog when it comes to late night humor. The groundbreaking program contributed heavily to our generation’s culture and The Campus Socialite is paying SNL a debt of gratitude by sharing its top 10 favorite (non-recurring) skits.
Life is a series of triumphs and failures. Today, we pay tribute to the latter.

There’s nothing I enjoy more than heading home for the holidays. Whether you celebrate Easter, Passover, or some other holiday that has nothing to do with Jesus or Moses, there is much to look forward to about going home to see your family. Here are a few of my favorite reasons why I stop everything I’m doing this time of year to spend some time with the people I love the most…
From cages for toddlers to imitation breasts used to help young children sleep, stupid ideas are what seem to make the world go round. The devices you are about to witness are real – and real stupid – inventions. Some of the following gems are so God-awful that they make the Snuggie and ShamWow look about as innovative and useful as the PC or iPod. To think that some people spent countless days and weeks designing the prototypes for these ludicrous items is equally hilarious as it is depressing. Please cozy up with one of man’s greatest creations, the computer, and enjoy a look at a star-studded group of ideas doomed for failure since their inception.
My first cousin and his wife recently were blessed with their first child and although I do not see them as often as I would like, I am able to document their wonderful baby boy’s development through the wonders of a digital camera and photo sharing services. As I opened up and scrolled through the most recent pictures of the newest addition to my family, I noticed that this set was different from the others as somehow some pictures from a wedding slipped into the mix. At first I just rifled through the wedding shots with little interest – it looked like any other black tie affair complete with finger food, free booze, the Electric Slide, and a jazz band with a soulful, sassy, and chocolaty front man. Needless to say that when I saw one of the most recognizable faces in college sports as the guest of honor this wedding moved from classy and elegant to now epic. Read on to see how the face of one of the country’s finest athletic institutions found some time away from the swamp and into the memories of all those lucky enough to be present at the wedding of Robert and Alison Streit.
