    How To Look Like Grandpa-- But Better

    Walter Matthau was the man.

    He was half of The Odd Couple. He was curmudgeonly before you even knew how to spell "curmudgeon." He was Dennis The Menace's neighbor and basically your all-around-reliable-grandpa type.

    Admit it: you kind of wished your Grandpa was Walter Matthau. That's why you watched all of those Grumpy Old Men movies over and over again, isn't it?

    And thanks to Modern Primate, you don't have to BE a grandpa to dress like one. Be comfortable as a classic curmudgeon: Get. That. Look.

    Dumb Holiday of the Week: National Margarita Day

    Hey guys! You know what's a stupid fake holiday? National Margarita Day! How dumb is it to celebrate an alcoholic drink for only one day? "Extremely dumb" is the answer.

    Margaritas aren't even that good. Yeah, I said it, so what? If you want to have a good drink, maybe dedicate a day to a good drink like an Old Fashioned. That's a real drink right there, unless you're, like, eating Mexican food or whatever and then I guess Margaritas are alright, but who in their right mind would want to just sit around and drink a Margarita? Not me, that's who!

    Listen, I love alcohol just as much as the next person, I just think that tequila is disgusting and Margaritas are stupid. If anyone disagrees with me, well, you're wrong and you know where to reach me. @MrChrisDonahue

    Come at me bro (or broette)!

    Sports Balls Replaced with Cats

    It's such a natural fit that I can't believe I didn't see it before. Cats are furry, tipped with razor sharp claws and teeth, and generally grumpy. They are clearly the perfect substitute for an athletic ball of any shape or size.


    And thus, the Sports Balls Replaced with Cats tumblr was born.


    It wasn't my genius idea, but something tells me that my cat would object* if I attempted to dribble him towards the net.


    *And by "object," I mean "rip my face off."


    Please, please tweet me if you can think of an athletic situation where a cat wouldn't rip your face off @bookoisseur.

    Questions for Madonna

    So, Madonna's new album "MDNA" comes out today, and to hype the release she has joined Twitter for one day only.  What a wacky stunt!  Her twitter handle is @MadonnaMDNADay and her website is encouraging people to tweet her questions with the hashtag #AskMadonna.  She'll be responding on Twitter tonight starting at 10pm ET(*ed. note: Uh, this was last night... so... there's that.) So I wrote up a few questions to send in.  Hope she picks one!!!!

    How old are you exactly? #AskMadonna

    Wait, HOW old are you? #AskMadonna

    Should you really still be chasing fame at your age? #AskMadonna

    Do you think your arms look healthy? #AskMadonna

    Let me explain: Yes, your arms are lean and sinewy. But do you think they look HEALTHY? #AskMadonna

    You’re not ever going to make any movies ever again, are you? #AskMadonna

    Remember that movie you made that was like an unwatchable Italian version of “Castaway?”  Wow. #AskMadonna

    Why are so you scared of growing old? #AskMadonna

    Can I get a RT???? #AskMadonna

    Oh, Fred Willard

    Oh. Oh, dear. Oh, dear, Fred Willard.

    You were arrested last night for what the internet is calling colloquially, "pulling a Pee-Wee."

    And this morning on Twitter more people are talking about you than the Emmy nominations.

    But, you know what, Fred Willard? It's okay.

    Maybe you didn't want to get a virus on your computer by searching for, um, adult-oriented fare. Maybe you didn't want to get your couch dirty. Maybe you were already out running errands when, uh, the need to do uh, "something else" struck. And maybe you just like doing things the old-fashioned way, and who can fault a 78-year-old man for kicking it old school style?

    We think you're going to come out of this one just fine. And I've got hand sanitizer on my desk for the next time you want to come into the office to say "hey."

    Inspired By Too Much Coffee

    I like coffee. Who doesn't like coffee? If you don't like coffee, I think that there is something wrong with you.

    I try not to drink too much coffee because when I do, things like this happen, things where I type too fast and my thoughts end up making no sense. Right now I am drinking my second iced coffee of the day. That's too many iced coffees for this kid but you know what? I'm going for it. Why? Because I woke up at 7am, two hours before I even have to wake up, and couldn't fall back asleep.

    This is something that has been happening to me a lot lately, waking up when I don't need to. Is it part of becoming an "adult?" I use adult in quotes because I am far from an adult. I am but a boy, trapped inside an aging body that is apparently going to become an adult.

    Anyway, Shannon likes coffee too because she's smart, like me. Drink coffee, watch Coffey Chat.

    Tweet me @MrChrisDonahue. I love you. Bye

    In the latest episode, Chris was nice enough to ask me, your very own DannyMoney, to appear in the episode "Working Out".  I play a trainer and I teach Chris how to get really ripped!  I had a great time and I think you might enjoy watching it!

    Nerd News

    Greetings Nerds, let's get on with it already! This week in Nerd News:


    -I know, I know, I talk about Skyrim a lot. But, ERMAHGERD NEW SKYRIM DLC!  Scheduled for release on December 7th, Dragonborn is Skyrim’s third expansion to come out this year.  From the looks of it, every Dovahkiin’s wish of being able to ride dragons will finally be granted. However, no one knows whether or not you'll be able to actually control the dragon or if it will just be a cut scene between traveling. I’ll be sure to give you all the information once it finally hits Xbox Live.


    -For most Whovians, the first five episodes of Series 7 was hardly enough for us, so we scrounge for any piece of news we get our hands on until the Christmas special.  Luckily, we've got our hands on some exciting info:  Neil Gaiman is back on to write another episode about the Cybermen!  


    -Saga issue #7 comes out next Wednesday after a long two month hiatus! If you aren't following Brian K. Vaughan's newest romp, definitely be sure to check this one out. Like I said, it's only seven issues in and has been collected into a trade paperback form, so you really have no reason not to. While I was at NYCC I was able to attend the Saga Panel and they revealed the covers for the next few issues. And let me tell you, they were goregous!*


    That's all I have for you guys this week!  Be sure to check out Kristina's Answerly video later today for more nerdiness.

    *with tons of robot sex and gore, Saga is very NSFW.  Read at your own risk!
