Submitted by dealup on Sat, 02/04/2012 - 06:00.Baby, I’m sorry.As a show of good faith and contrition in light of my infidelity, I’ve gotten you a gift.“I can’t believe you thought you could bribe me with-”
“It’s not a bribe! It’s a gift! It’s a gift to say, ‘I’m sorry,’ and ‘Thank you for sticking with me despite my incredibly poor judgment.’ It’s a 64GB Apple iPad!”
The United States of Songs: Ohio
Submitted by dealup on Sat, 02/04/2012 - 00:11.Welcome back to The United States of Songs, my quest to either find a new song to represent each state in the union or drive myself insane trying to turn these out week in and week out, whichever comes first. Come along with me, dear reader, to the Buckeye State!

Flash In The Brain Pan: All That Matters
Submitted by dealup on Fri, 02/03/2012 - 16:00.Nothing's more important than family. Not speeding cars, not acid-spitting aliens, not spaceships with a ridiculous number of guns attached to the front, not anything. That's why you don't see any of that stuff we just listed in All That Matters. Instead, you'll see this:

Submitted by dealup on Thu, 02/02/2012 - 17:00.I’m no etymologist. In fact, I only learned what “etymologist” means after spell check told me “wordtometrist” wasn’t a real word. Still, you don’t need to be all that etymoligious to break down a word like “metaphor.” It’s a simple two-parter:
Part 1: meta – an anagram for “meat.”
Part 2: phor – the more letters version of “for.”
See: that’s why metaphors are so interesting, because they’re essentially “meat for [thought].”

Submitted by dealup on Wed, 02/01/2012 - 06:00.Can I make a confession? I kind of hate Super Bowl commercials. They're a lot like the Super Bowl itself: bloated with hype and usually a letdown. Even the best of them are still, you know, commercials. But there's no denying that Super Bowl commercials are responsible for some of the most enduring (or enduringly awful) artifacts of their time. Can you name the 8 advertisers responsible for the famous and infamous Super Bowl ads seen below? And for the 2-point conversion, can you name the year each aired?

Every week we will be comparing 3 pairs of things that shouldn’t be compared using this formula: Unrelated Thing X vs. Unrelated Thing Y in terms of Function Z. Facts will be misunderstood, overlooked, or changed for the sake of the argument. Enjoy.

Music Monday: The Greatest Movie Themes
Submitted by dealup on Mon, 01/30/2012 - 15:00.Remember two weeks ago when we talked about television themes? That went so well it got us thinking: what's more popular than television? Naturally, the answer is "nothing" but Scott still had to put together a post for today, so he pretended the answer was "the movies." And that brings us to today, when Scott's picked his five top movie themes! What sort of controversy will he stir up this time?

Submitted by dealup on Sat, 01/28/2012 - 01:00.And we're back! The United States of Songs continues barreling through the alphabet of states to find the perfect song to describe each. I know I go through it pretty much every time I write one of these, but people seem to forget that the rules specify the song title has to have the state name, and the song must be about the entire state. Which means songs like the great country march "Let 'Er Go," while great recommendations, just don't apply to today's state:

Submitted by dealup on Thu, 01/26/2012 - 18:00.People think that only spies get to have missions, but that's not true! Anyone can have a mission; it’s just that the ones that spies do are kept secret. That’s why, if you’re not a spy and you want a mission, you just need to announce it. For example, if I want to fill up this mug on my desk with coffee, I can go on a coffee-filling mission, as long as I say, “Hey guys!

Submitted by dealup on Wed, 01/25/2012 - 06:00.The fanciful/deceptive artwork on Atari 2600 game packaging wasn't just a marketing come-on. It was an essential component of the gameplay itself, often the only way for us to know whether a certain clump of squares was supposed to be a dragon, a spaceship, or a linebacker. Peruse the gallery of kitsch classics below (all from boxes for Atari-manufactured games - no Activision, Imagic, etc.) and see how many you can name. One thing is certain: all of them were much more exciting than the games themselves.

Music Monday: A Tribute To Jimmy Castor
Submitted by dealup on Mon, 01/23/2012 - 17:00.Last week, one of Scott's favorite recording artists passed away. He says it's cool if you've never heard of Jimmy Castor and the Jimmy Castor Bunch, but there's absolutely no chance you've never heard them. Castor's responsible for thousands of samples, used by everyone from The Beastie Boys to Kanye West, and the original songs are still… well, we'll let Scott tell you more below.
