Buy Or Don’t Buy

Seriously. How is this not considered the greatest song of the 20th century???

Did you know Ryan Gosling has a band? Who knew he could sing? I didn’t. The band is called Dead Man’s Bones. And from the looks of this video, it’s a 2 piece band made of hot men. (Seriously, is that Ashton Kutcher on drums??)

Now, why do I care more [...]

From all of us at BODB (I think), we wish you a merry Christmas, a good December/January/New Year, a happy Hanukkah and just good wishes in general.

As this year wraps up, year-end lists are popping up. And unlike Alli, I can’t say I buy/don’t buy all of them.
So let me not buy this one: The Merriam-Webster’s Word of The Year. The results are measured by how many hits the word got on their website. So what’s my problem? It shows how [...]

Don’t make him cry.

So it’s been predicted that Gen Y will name thier kids either really old names, like Gertrude,  or really “unique” names, like Rocket. Fine, I feel that is inevitable.  I was going to name my kid (if I have one) after my grandparents. For a girl, Mollie; for a boy, Malcolm. But now, I have [...]

BRETT FAVRE! BRETT FAVRE! TONY ROMO! BLUE-COLLAR! SMASH-MOUTH FOOTBALL! TOUGHEST! GRITTIEST! GUTSIEST! HOTTEST! STUMBLE DOWN THE STRETCH! SAVED THEIR SEASON!

It seems like Pepsi has decided to more or less kill themselves with their latest series of ads. And I say “kill themselves” because, well that’s what their ads are depicting.
