Ouch. This brings back memories of dunking off the mini tramps in the Toormy High gym back in the good old days. Thankfully we weren’t trying to set any world records.

Big News Day
April 30th, 2009 · No Comments
I love that this story makes the 11 p.m. News in Rochester, NY….
There’s so much to love about this clip; the woman yelling back at the drive thru speaker, the couple who “aren’t angry, just disappointed”, and my favourite moment, the guy at 0:53 who asks “No chicken? Or they just out of chicken?” That’s [...]
NBA Challenge Results + Playoff Bracket
April 21st, 2009 · No Comments
Anyone who has read my status updates on Facebook in the last week would know NBA playoff time is one of my favourites times of the year. I was initially excited about the promise of great coverage on the recently launched ONE HD, but that’s dissipated since I learnt they were only featuring 2 games [...]
WTF Were They Thinking?!? - ‘The Room’
April 16th, 2009 · No Comments
Wow. This one is definitely challenging the limits of the Unintentional Comedy Scale. Bill Simmons name-dropped this in his column today and I have already watched it about five times. Now I am inspired. I mean, there’s no way I could produce something worse, right?
Apparently ‘The Room’ has become a cult film in some [...]
Song of the Day: ‘Porch’
April 15th, 2009 · No Comments
This is what music is all about.
Had the pleasure of finally watching the Pearl Jam MTV Unplugged DVD that comes with the deluxe edition of the remastered ‘Ten’ yesterday. This was my favourite of the tracks, the evening’s closer and definitely the most soulful performance of the show (even despite Eddie falling off his [...]

Hey hey Lucky Readers, it’s time for another competition here at The Daily Mojo. Thanks to our good buddies at Sony Pictures Home Entertainment we have two copies of teen comedy ‘Sex Drive’ to win on DVD.
‘Sex Drive’ falls pretty squarely in the ‘American Pie’ camp of genre comedy. The following trailer sets up the [...]

WTF Were They Thinking?!? - Billy Bob
April 14th, 2009 · No Comments
A bit late on posting this due to a short Easter break, but for those who didn’t catch it here’s actor Billy Bob Thornton’s bizarre appearance on Canadian radio/webcast broadcaster QTV.
What a petulant, arrogant asshole. He took offense that he felt he was being described as a musical hobbyist and that they had ignored [...]
WTF Were They Thinking?!? - Alpine Legend
April 8th, 2009 · No Comments
Okay, I know this doesn’t really qualify as a genuine WTF?!?, given that it was a Microsoft gag released on April Fools Day. I just figured it was a good excuse to post it under this heading:
And really, when you think about it, is it any less ridiculous than jumping around in your living room [...]

The Best Ever
April 8th, 2009 · No Comments
Michael Jordan was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame this week, which seemed enough of an excuse to link to a (debatable) Top 10 of his Airness’ greatest dunks. Amazing. And a great choice for #1. How many times do you think MJ has reminded his best friend Charles Oakley (the New York [...]

Trailerwatch: The Hangover
April 8th, 2009 · 1 Comment
Here’s the trailer for Todd Phillip’s new film, ‘The Hangover’, due for release June 11 in Australia. I love Phillip’s comedies, I love movies set in Vegas, and I love the inherent comedy of piecing together exactly what you did the morning after a big night of drinking. This checks all those boxes. Nice to [...]
