Two Year Anniversary: What a strange trip it’s been


It’s official. Gangstas & Hugs is now two years old. Who would have thought it was possible? Thanks to this blog, I’ve been able to waste time and obsess over page views like it was going out of style. It’s been fun though. I never imagined it would last this [...]

ICANHASCHEEZBURGER: Money in the bowl for Jesus


Alright, I was planning on posting a real commentary post this morning, but after seeing this, I thought I’d hold off until tomorrow. If you’ve never visited ICANHASCHEEZBURGER, then you haven’t been keeping up with your internet cliches. Maybe this picture will get you in the mood to go to church or something.

If [...]

Peyton Manning and the United Way


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZpPf-q2_es

I can’t believe I missed this entire SNL episode when Peyton Manning hosted. Oh well, at least there’s Youtube. Some of my favorite quotes:
“Everybody bring it back in. Except for you, I can’t even look at you.”

“Go sit in the port-a-potty for 20 minutes!”

“Cops! Cops! Every man for himself!”

“I would kill a snitch. Now, I’m [...]

Mildly sleazy uses for Facebook


xkcd is one of my favorite web comics, and this one in particular is no exception. If you aren’t a fan yet, I highly recommend checking out the archives. You’ll be hooked in no time.
You may also have noticed random xkcd comics showing up in the Gangstas and Hugs feed, via del.icio.us. [...]

If I had rugrats, they wouldn’t watch Power Rangers


Have you ever sat down and watched a full episode of Power Rangers? Did you puke, or go into an epileptic seizure? I watched the second half of an episode this weekend because I was down at the lake and it was the only show on the only station that came in. [...]

Sir, would you please not pee in the pool?

In the name of all that is holy, why would you want to be jostling around in any liquid with this many people in it? Seriously? If I had to swim around in urine, I’d rather that urine be my own thanks.
I know this would only happen in Japan, but don’t they have [...]

I haven’t read Harry Potter, and I’m proud


I admitted in my post on pop culture that I’ve never read a single Harry Potter book. Never, nunca, nada. Little did I know I wasn’t the only person in the world who has never read a Harry Potter book.
Someone then suggested we start a club for people who have not read Harry [...]

You know you want to play some Faceball


I’m sure most of you have wished a time or two that you could let lose on some of your coworkers in a semi-violent or vengeful manner. Enter Faceball, the game where you can ridicule your colleagues under the pretense of clean, wholesome fun. So what is Faceball, besides being founded by John Allspaw and […]

Pop culture I’ve missed out on


I got to reading JJ’s post on what he missed out on in pop culture, and I started thinking, “I’m a pretty hip dude, what could I have possibly missed out on?” Then I realized that was the meth talking, and I got depressed about how lame I am when it comes to pop [...]

Mike Rowe used to hock crap on QVC


I love watching Dirty Jobs. The reasons are two-fold. First, I love finding out how much crap I DON’T have to put up with in my job. Second, Mike Rowe is a smartass, and that makes the show funny. Little did I know he was honing his skills on QVC way [...]
