Why settle for a boring old sweater or a crotchety blanket when you can wear something that keeps you warm doesn't slip off and is simply an awkwardly placed cowl or mask away from being socially reprehensible?
Try the Snuggie, the only surefire way of making the neighbors think you might be one of them weird "witchcrafty" type of people, or just a retired Klansman!
Great documentary from 1984 that inspired and in some respects outshines Van Sant's Milk. Now streaming free on Hulu.
Normally there would be a nice list of films, live performances, charitable events and other alcohol induced suggestions to get you through the misery that can be the holidays.
But as many of us know full well, it's been a rough year folks, and in preparation for the onslaught of lists that will litter the remaining days of SMFIH's '08, I've decided to scale back this day and just focus on the positive (gasp!) or at least what passes for seemingly positive in my book.
So in a drastic break from our normally 'dark snark' programming, some lightness:
(Editor's Note: Every so often, a strange e-mail pops up in SMFIH's inbox. And try as we might, not matter how much we worry about possible viruses, Nigerian princes and other spam, we can't help but open it or explain the inexplicable grip it has on us. Like a recovering alcoholic who just knows they're going to definitely regret and pay for it, we just can't seem to help ourselves. So once again, here's our resident old man/"life expert" the Brown Cary Grant extolling the virtues of what exactly we're not sure of. Oh, and they don't necessarily reflect or represent the ideas of SMFIH's staff. So there. But yeah, we're confused too. And enjoy.)
Lions and tigers and lists, oh my! It’s that time of the year again. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show. I, the Brown Cary Grant have come to give you my list of the Most Overrated and Underrated things of 2008. It was tough narrowing the list down; there were so many things that got way too much or way too little attention. So I just picked the things that annoyed me or delighted me the most. I hope you enjoy reading this list as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
Underrated:
Gypsy Skirts: Oh women, I know fashion must be constantly evolving with the cultural zeitgeist and all that bullshit, but why must the gypsy skirts go? 2005 was a terrific year for me. Every time I walked outside of my apartment to grab a paper and get my daily caffeine fix, I was greeted by a parade of women in gypsy skirts. The best thing about gypsy skirts is that it gives even the dullest, most repulsive women a bit of flair.
Overrated:
Wearing a shirt and passing it off as a dress: As Britney’s assistant said to Britney, “You are not Sarah Jessica Parker!” And seriously, why would you want to be?
Underrated:
Graham Harrell: I can’t keep track of my two nephews when they come over to wreak havoc on my otherwise tranquil existence. This man has to keep track of five receivers in one of the most complex, intricate and constantly evolving offenses I have ever seen. Oh, and by the way, not one of his receivers is likely to be a first round draft pick- not even Crabtree.
Overrated:
Mark Sanchez: Hey, he lives in L.A., dates gorgeous women, and will probably be playing on Sundays; if someone has to be a sacrificial lamb for this list, it’s gonna be this guy.
Underrated:
Dating a writer: Most of my writer friends are bat-shit crazy, but there’s never a dull moment, and there’s something to be said for that.
Overrated:
(Ed. Note: We were confused too, but apparently ex-model Martha Stewart was also a stockbroker. So there.)

The new trailer for the Apatow-less Apatowian, Paul Rudd/Jason Segel/Rashida Jones starring, Aziz and Huebel cameo-ing, possibly (hopefully) last tolerable reference to and utterance of the evil that is "bromance," I Love You, Man:

""With deep personal sadness I must announce that my dear friend and client Bettie Page passed away at 6:41pm PST this evening in a Los Angles hospital. She died peacefully but had never regained consciousness after suffering a heart attack nine days ago.
She captured the imagination of a generation of men and women with her free spirit and unabashed sensuality. She is the embodiment of beauty."
