Yesterday, I got to attend a screening of She’s Out Of My League in Mazza Galerie after work. Admission was FREE nintey-nine, so I was already in a good mood before the film even started. Since it cost me absolutely nothing, the least I can do is write a review of the film for those who did not get to see it ahead of it’s official release. Here goes… Read the rest of this entry »
When I hear the word “Walkman” I think of old school cassette players like the one pictured above. I can’t believe Sony is still putting out products under that name. High tech products, no less! That’s like Ford creating the world’s 1st luxury car that runs on kool-aid, and naming it “The all new Ford Pinto.”
For those who didn’t get the Pinto reference, I must first explain the ghetto-ass That’s My Car game. The whole objective of it was to point at a nice car before someone else did, then yell out “THAT’S MY CAR!” You could also point at a crappy-looking vehicle and yell out “THAT’S YOUR CAR!” to insult the person next to you.
The ultimate comeback for someone who was beaten to the punch whenever a luxury sports car drove by was to be like “Nuh-uhh! That ain’t your car! You got a Pinto!” Pintos were considered so horrible, using that insult was like the Big Joker in a game of spades: it cut through ANYTHING! Read the rest of this entry »
My sister passed along this gem she saw on VA$HTIE.com, which originated at And I Am Not Lying. A DC school teacher found this list on a 3rd grade classroom floor, which consists of the 90 different types of bitches in existence. In actuality, it’s more like 75, because one of the pages is missing.
It would be criminal of me not to share this with you all. Sheer and utter hilarity, my friends. My favorite is #26, pictured above.
Here’s the rest of the list: Read the rest of this entry »
A few months ago, I put out a call for artists to illustrate a comic strip that I co-wrote with some of my friends over at AM Radio. I’m re-opening the call, because although the artist we selected was awesomely talented, he was simply busy as all Hell. I don’t even know what country he’s in right now as a matter of fact. THAT’S how serious his schedule is!
Therefore, I’m calling on you talented ListenToLeon readers and your friends to let me know if you’re interested in being a part of something hilarious. Respond in the comments section with a link to your art, or shoot me an e-mail at leon@listentoleon.net and I will get back to you with more details.
…And yes, that is the picture from the end credits of Good Times above. Rest in Peace Ernie Barnes!
What is it with lawmakers these days? Rep Eric Massa (D-NY) resigned from office, claiming there was a health care conspiracy aimed at ousting him. The entire time, it turns out that he was being investigated for groping male staffers along with other inappropriate behavior. In the course of a week, this guy has gone from elected official, to alleged dick-toucher. That’s a pretty steep fall from grace!
I find it funny because he owned up to using “salty” language and apologized for that, yet he started a conspiracy theory before admitting his inter-office ball juggling. If I were one of his staffers, I’d want an apology for the groping more than an apology for the language. Then again, I’d have kicked his lawmaker ass for trying to touch my f*ck stick…so I’d probably need my own lawyer right about now.
Stories like these make me realize that I need to be more politically active on a local level. I can’t just sit back and trust clowns like this guy to make decisions that affect my life!
In an unrelated yet also homosexual note, congratulations to all of the gay couples who got married in DC today. I’m glad you all now have the legal right to love one another, engage in domestic disputes and endure ugly divorces just like us straight people. Enjoy!
I just found an ad network check in my laptop bag from October. I’m pretty successful at this blogging thing, but not successful enough to literally LOSE MONEY like that! The check was just for $30, but I’m saying…I can do a lot with $30! For instance…
Things I could do with $30
As you see, the list goes on and on. This is why I am trying to get my life together and better organize things. Please feel free to share your suggestions of things I could have done with that $30 in the comments section.
I am generally a winner in life. That said, I rarely win contests that are out of my control. Arguments? Yep. Fights? Damn right. The hearts of women around the globe? You betcha. But ask me to play the lottery, and I will look at you like you’re stupid, then say “I might as well burn this dollar up right now…”
That’s why I have to thank the good folks over at The Smoking Section for breaking my streak of bad luck when it comes to games of chance. I won the oh-so awesome iPhone case pictured see above from their site and it arrived yesterday in the mail. Now I feel just like Jules in Pulp Fiction, sans jheri curl!
