Ernest Gary Gygax (July 27, 1938 – March 4, 2008)

Co-creator and "father" of modern day roleplaying games, Gary Gygax died today. He was slayed by heart attack which was induced by a level 31 Netherdrake.

Millions of nerds will pour out some moutain dew for their homey.

        

In just a few days, the biggest and baddest primary of them all will occur. Who will survive? Who will be the last person standing? Obama...Clinton.... The Texas Two Step.... The Ohio...uh...One step.


Prediction:  Obama triumphs in the South and Clinton snags the soccer moms in the North.

        

Lindsay Lohan is in the news again for nude pictures...this time ones taken intentionally. In a tribute to the late Marilyn Monroe, Lindsay was photographed in poses similar to the ones that ended up being Ms. Monroe's final shots before she passed away.

We won't post them here, but you shouldn't have to try to hard to find them. We give her a 6.5 out of 10. Mostly because she had the gumption to do this. Not bad Lin-Lo.

        

Super Tuesday is upon us! but if I hear "national primary" one more time, I might have a national coronary.

Mike Huckabee lands the first punch, but it might have been John McCain's delegates that trumped a Romney win in West Virginia. Apparently, seeing a 2nd place defeat in the making, the Delegates for the Arizona Hopeful backed Mike Huckabee to beat the failing former Governor's campaign.





Fox Snooze says: Honestly, with 20 years of Bush or Clinton as president...do we really need 4 years of Clinton Bush?

        

         

First Chuck Norris endorses Mike Huckabee, now The Governator is backing John McCain....our only guess is if Mitt Romney is going to win the Republican nomination, he's going to need a truly bad ass endorsement. Is the legendary xenomorph next to put its name on the line? 


Fox Snooze says: Imagine if we just let the endorsers battle it out for domination. It would be more entertaining than what we're stuck with now...but the book version would still be better.

        

This smaller image taken from a larger image of NASA Mars explorer Spirit. Does this prove that we are not alone in the galaxy? Is this yet another figment of our imagination and shadows playing tricks on our eyes?

It certainly looks a lot like big foot to us.

        

April 4, 1979 - January 22, 2008

Heath Ledger was apparently found dead in his NYC apartment. Pills found by his body may be the culprit. Ledger, who starred in such films as "10 Things I Hate About You", "A Knight's Tale", and "Brokeback Mountain", was set to star in the latest Batman film, "A Dark Knight".

RIP.

        

The Oscar nominations were just announced and before the booing and hissing gets too loud, we'd just like to say "thank you" for including "Once" in there somewhere. If "It's hard out there for a pimp" can win an oscar, we need...NEED...to hand this sweet little film some love. Make it happen, Oscar.

As it were "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood" lead the nominations with eight each. The actual list is below:

but first....

Fox Snooze says:

Michael Clayton? Really? What is the on going fascination with George Clooney films? Have we already forgotten "Intolerable Cruelty?"

In a swift-fisted move by Chuck Norris and the Mike Huckabee campaign, John McCain has been recommended for decommission because of his age. Norris says he "likes" McCain, but that sometimes the Presidency has an accelerated aging affect on people. (Nothing a Chuck Norris round house kick couldn't reverse)

Chuck makes some valid arguments. At 72, John McCain would be the oldest person on the planet, not to mention the oldest president.

Fox Snooze says:

With a population with a median age of 104, why would you wait until Florida to make this argument?

        

In a not so surprising victory, Mitt Romney wins another state that is either populated by Mormons or formerly governed by his dad.

South Carolina results will be announced tonight, but it is believed that Sen. John McCain will pull out a victory there.

So as it seems, John McCain and Mitt Romney will do battle for the Republican nod.

Which leaves with this question? What happened to Mike Huckabee?
