Dorrk Dot Com

Dorrk.com’s headquarters for the last 4 years is on the market.
We’re selling it ourselves, which is probably going to turn into a
nightmare. It’s also quite vexing, as a soon-to-be-second-time home
buyer, to have to negotiate selling at the same time as buying a new
home, and timing it right so that we aren’t homeless at any point [...]

Since the op-waves have already been saturated with detailed arguments on all sides of the Terry Schiavo case, I can’t muster the energy to throw in my muddled two-cents’ worth.
But, for those who feel this whole controversy is simply the cynical fever-cry of Christian troglodytes, it’s worth noting that they are jjoined in their efforts [...]

I know one or two folks around here who
will appreciate this Christian parody of Sir Mix-a-Lot’s "Baby Got Back."

It’s pretty thorough, and, although a tad too long, I think, admirable in execution and (ir)reverent spirit.

The blog will be closed temporarily for an upgrade for the next day or so, unless something goes terribly, terribly wrong, in which case your life as you know it is ruined.

I take it back…sports stars weren’t always terrible. These are new monsters we are dealing with. In the old days, my heroes like Tony Dorsett or Hacksaw Reynolds or Dave Concepcion did not make $12 million a year over 10 years. They weren’t these monsters that lived in a totally insane, decadent [...]

Speaking of Pharrell Williams….Hey, M.E., have you heard of Pharrell (a rap/hip hop producer) or his side project N.E.R.D. I think you would dig his stuff. He’s all about retro 70’s black music. If you like “Off the Wall” and Stevie Wonder, you’d love Pharrell. He’s produced a lot of songs [...]

On Hong Kong TV last night, there was a documentary about the truth behind the Da Vinci Code. I was kind of expecting this “documentary” to be very biased against Christianity and really kind of sloppily built a case. One of the main contributors was one of the writers of Da Vinci [...]

A psychiatrist over at the smoking gun says that Michael Jackson is not a pedophile. He is just a 10 year old that does other “normal things like J*cking off with his friends.”
Okay…so far the prosecutions presentation has been atrocious. Let’s say Michael Jackson is not a pedophile…the psychiatrist suggesting that although MJ [...]

When nothing else matters……is the name of that Jordan book. Sounds really interesting for any NBA film.

I don’t read many sports books, but here are 3 books I’d like to read.
“Juiced” by Jose Canseco–basically admitting that he was on steroids and telling us that Mark McGuire, Bonds, and that obnoxious Sammy Sosa are also druggies.
Phil Jackson’s book about what an idiot Kobe Bryant is and how hard it is [...]

For those of you who have not discovered the joys of Ween, I’d like to recommend “Chocolate & Cheese.”
The album is random and hilarious and enjoyable pop. I imagine that if Brian Barker ever became a rock star, this would be his band.

The pro-freedom protests in Lebanon yesterday were spectacular. Humiliating for stupid, fascist Syria.
Despite all of that however, the geo-political future of the world hinges on the Iran VS Europe, US, Israel showdown. A recent article puts it in perspective:
US military officials describe Israel as a “one bomb country” -small enough to be destroyed [...]

Some of you may like “the boss,” and some of you might be chimpanzee-sodomizing shit-eaters; but, so you know, Mr. Springsteen’s next album will be hitting stores April 26th.
The cuts will be on one side and, on the other, will be some DVD goodness. Actually, the DVD documentary and music video stuff might not [...]

A pretty great quote from someone on the internet. Funny too:
“In Bush we do not have an intellectual who sets dinner companions atwitter on the Left Bank and Islington; but, and putting it plainly, we have someone who is not a bullshiter (like his predecessor, who was an unusually good one). He walks the [...]

The latest reality show here is Victoria Gotti’s show. We saw one episode and that woman and her evil spawn gumba sons are unwatchable. Unlike so many other weird, bizarre, annoying reality show people–this is one family that is not even remotely amusing ever.
Of course she continues to milk her father’s legacy for [...]

When talking about “Faith’s” release date I meant to type in 1987. The first single was actually “I want your sex” off the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack released before Faith was finished, but the first single came in October and it was called “Faith.”
1987…best year of my life—bar none.

Well, initially Andrew Ridgley was listed as the bass vocal and a back-up vocalist, but in actuality he did nothing…and that was their agreement.
You see George Michael met Andrew when they were in Middle School. George was a homely, pudgy Greek kid and Andrew was the good-looking class clown that all the girls loved. [...]

Speaking of 80’s music, I have a question:
What the hell did Andrew Ridgley do in Wham! besides play the dark-haired boy-toy yin to George Michael’s blonde boy-toy yang?

For my next CulturePulp comic, I’m going to see Duran Duran with my 15-year-old stepdaughter. (She’s a huge fan, believe it or not.) I’m planning on doing a cartoon portrait of what I assume is a loyal audience of thirtysomething women.
Any suggestions or interesting nuggets of DD fan arcana from certain Byrons would be greatly [...]

What to make of Gore’s decision to announce that he is definitely not running in 2008?

My guess is that it’s become clear to him that Hillary is going to easily take the tens of millions of dollars he needs to succesfully run and it has become pointless. Kerry the dolt can try if he [...]
