I was actually thinking about this on Sunday while watching Football, how exactly does that yellow first down line make it onto the TV screen and look like it’s actually on the field? Well my questions have been answered and it’s a lot more in depth than I thought. Check out the video above to reveal the secret behind the Yellow First Down Line on broadcast Football.
I caught the Nostradamus special on the History channel the other night about the year 2012 and how the end of the world is coming and while it was quite interesting it seemed like these “experts” were reaching for something that wasn’t quite there. Did anyone else catch this? Basically Nostradamus was a man from the 1500’s that predicted world events of today…back then. He wrote them in quatrains which are basically small poems. Most of these quatrains are so cryptic they could really mean anything, but either way people believe that this man has predicted some of the greatest moments of the world’s history. Me, I’m still skeptical.
Nostradamus is recognized as having predicted Hitler’s rise to power (even though the word “Hister” is used in the original quatrain) as well as The French Revolution, but while some of the quatrains supposedly associated with these events do seem pretty close when interpreted, others could relate to anything in the world, which leads me to the show that aired on the History Channel the other night. The show was about Nostradamus and his apparent predictions about the world ending in the year 2012, specifically December 21, 2012 when the sun rises into the center of the milky way. But here’s the thing, these prophecies weren’t made in quatrains like most of his other work, but in a book of lost drawings that were supposedly drawn by Nostradamus (yet nobody knows for sure).
We finally get a new show from street skater Rob Dyrdek entitled “Fantasy Factory” and it will hit MTV on February 8th 2009. From what I can gather the show revolves around Rob branching out in his businesses as well as doing some of the things some people only dream about… living his fantasies. Check out the little preview above as Rob walks you through his new office and kind of explains what the show is about. Expect daily posts from us at acSlater.com when the show finally airs as we are huge fans of Rob & Big.

Most people don’t watch SNL anymore these days, but I tend to enjoy these SNL Digital Shorts made by Andy Samberg and crew, aka The Lonely Island. This Saturday, after the fight, SNL came on and this little gem started playing. I found it hysterical, but I’m also easily amused. I like the cameos from Justin Timberlake and Jamie Lynn Sigler (aka Meadow Soprano), seems like she’s making appearances all over the place these days (Entourage, How I Met Your Mother, SNL). So check it out, I Jizzed In My Pants.
And for those not familiar with The Lonely Island, it was a comedy group comprising of Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone who were discovered by SNL and given full time jobs. Samberg is obviously on screen a lot where as Akiva and Jorma do writing/directing on the show.
The Office: The Surplus (12/4/08)
Tensions flare in the Scranton branch when staffers disagree on how to spend a $4300 surplus. Meanwhile, Angela and Andy visit Schrute Farms to work on their wedding plans.
Just read about “Dead Set” and it sounds pretty cool. Basically, zombies have overrun Britain and are killing people left and right and everyone is scared for their lives, except the contestants on the latest season of the hit reality show “Big Brother” who have no idea what is going on outside. I’ll have to look into it a bit more later, but it seems like you can watch all of the “episodes” on the Official Dead Set website. I’m going to have to check these out when I get home, looks pretty brutal. You can also find the full plot synopsis after the jump. And if anyone has seen any of this post a comment, let me know how it is or if it’s a waste of time.
The Nightman Cometh, what an amazing musical written by Charlie Kelly. I thought the season finale last night was hysterical from beginning to end. Some of my favorite parts were when Dee is signing the song about making love to a little boy and doesn’t want to do it and Charlie flips out on her. Dennis taking over Mac’s part so that he and Dee are supposed to make out after that song. Frank singing the troll toll song about paying the troll toll to get into the boys hole, which is supposed to be boys soul. The rape scene. Mac getting laughed at instead of the “gasps” he was going for. The cat eyes. Dennis becoming the Dayman and busting out of his pajamas and into the costume from Electric Dream Machine. Charlie coming down on the sun to sing to the waitress. The fact that the whole musical was just a ploy to ask the waitress to marry him. And what was up with her tonight, she looked really good for some reason, maybe it was because she was falling out of her shirt. Great episode. Don’t forget to check out the behind the scenes clip and stream the FULL EPISODE after the jump!
Best lines of the night.
Charlie: I will slap your face right off your face!!
and
During Rape Scene: Dude, do you have a boner?
So that’s it, the 4th season of It’s Always Sunny has come to a close. At least this time we don’t have to worry as to whether or not it will be picked up for another one since it’s already been picked up for like 39 more episodes.
Dayman, ahhhhhaaaaaahhhhhhhh, Fighter of the nightman, ahhhhhhhaaaaaahhhhhhh, champion of the sun; he’s a master of karate and friendship, for everyone.
Wow, just noticed the google ads at the top for this post… interesting and seemingly wrong…
And don’t forget you can get the entire season on 
right now!
Aqua Teen Hunger Force is looking for a real person to play the role of Carl in an upcoming Live action episode of the show. Yep, you head me right, the cartoon on Adult Swim about a talking Milkshake named Master Shake, a wad of meat appropriately named Meatwad and box of fries named Frylock is going to be made into a live-action show. It sounds like it’s just one episode, but either way it sounds incredible. Check out the website below for all the information on how you could be Carl!
Its Always Sunny: The Nightman Cometh
In the fourth-season finale, Charlie puts on a rock opera based on his song “Nightman,” and gets the rest of the gang to help him.
I’m not too happy that the season is already coming to an end tonight, but this sounds like it is going to be an epic episode. A nightman rock opera? Seriously?!?!? Can’t wait. Check the main site tomorrow for my thoughts on the episode and usually animated gifs or video.
