It’s around this time of year that I start wondering how in the world I will be able to tell what day it is every day of next year. And once again I thank the wall calendar industry for bailing me out with date information and stunning imagery every single year. Here are ACTUAL calendars we can look forward to in less than one month. Stocking stuffers = stuffed.
The Sarah Palin Calendar
Maybe this was planned as an “If you win, it’d be great to have this..” idea. But you know, once you go to the trouble to get a great photo of you looking pretty with a shotgun over your shoulder, why waste it?
Michael Phelps – 8X Gold Medalist
Don’t let the Olympic fire die, let Phelps swim all through 2009 right in your room, cubicle, or garage workshop! With mostly shots of Phelps swimming, this isn’t near as dramatic as the “2009 Mark Spitz Watching Michael Phelps Break World Records” calendar, with shots of Spitz watching Michael Phelps win all 8 medals…and crying.

Friday
Phew. Just yesterday we were fearing for our livelihood after reading a report that Lindsay Lohan was making an uncharacteristic foray into the world of good decisions by attending AA meetings to get her problems with alcohol under control. But today is a new day, and it would now seem that last night’s bad dreams of no longer being able to put food on the table have come to a miraculous end with this item in Page Six recounting the latest Cristal-fueled public indignities of the tempestuous tartlet. This tour-de-force performance at the GQ Men of the Year Dinner has all the elements of a Lohan classic – starting an inane feud with another actress who utterly doesn’t care, drunkenly hitting on Leonardo DiCaprio (and getting laughed off, then settling for some face-sucking with Jackass Knoxville), being humiliated by her own mother, and the real kicker, causing Will Ferrell to make a snide remark that wasn’t even a joke:
Overhearing her tirade about Biel’s assistant, Will Ferrell turned to DiCaprio, Gore and Affleck and said, “Who cares about that freak anymore, anyway?” – setting off laughter.
Yowzers. Alienating Will Farrell!?!? That’s one embarassing meltdown away from Jay Leno calling you a “worthless tw*t”.

There must be a lot of hipsters reading this little blog of ours because the trailer for the upcoming DVD The VICE Guide to Travel, dropped by reader jimnobu, has gotten over 40 props (be sure to read all the priceless comments!) from “homedudes” demanding it be given a spot here on the front page. Well, it’s slow today, and people really seemed to enjoy the last movie that featured the self-degrading talents of Johnny Knoxville, so why not? Here’s another movie with more drug-addled brainiacs doing dumb stuff for laughs, this time at the expense of poor people!
