The Griswolds Return!

I’m a huge fan of the National Lampoon’s Vacation movies. Out of the blue, Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo returned to their roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold. They even brought out a brand new Family Truckster!

The commercial appeared during the Super Bowl, but turns out homeaway.com filmed a full short film (14 minutes)! It’s pretty funny.

There’s also a behind the scenes video of YouTube here.

Tiger Woods

The Paunch Stevenson Show Lame Idiot of The Year Award

A pretty bad year for Tiger Woods, but more than qualified to win The Paunch Stevenson Show Lame Idiot of 2009 Award!

Apparently Tiger’s had more blond girls than Bond girls had by Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and Pierce Brosnan put together. Allegedly he got drunk, and beat up by his wife, with a golf club, crashed his car into a tree in front of his own house, and lied on the ground bleeding, giggling, and sleeping? Not to mention steroid allegations? Tiger is a tabloid’s best friend.
