The Paula Deen Frighteningly Fearsome Five Course Killer Meal
Food Network celebrity chef and Doyenne of Diabetes, Paula Deen has been under heavy fire over the last few weeks due to her publicizing her own diagnoses as a diabetes sufferer just in time to cash in on a spokesperson gig for some newfangled diabetes treatment drug that could possibly cause thyroid cancer among several other horrible maladies.
Well I say “Leave Paula Alone!!!“; it’s not like you all didn’t know that eating things like “Bacon Cheeseburger Meat Loaf” and “Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding” wasn’t a form of slow motion suicide. So in honor of La Belle Deen I have put together what I think would have to be the most horrifically delicious full course dining experience that can be found by perusing the Paula Deen recipe section of the Food Network website.

Let’s Take A Moment To Appreciate The Greatness Of Tim Curry
I recently watched a trailer for an abomination called Gingerclown 3D that stars Mr. Curry and I instantly felt horrible that an actor of his awesomeness is appearing in what looks to be the shittiest movie ever made. Then I got to thinking about all of the really great parts that Curry has played and not all of them were in equally great movies. The dude just has a talent for turning crap into gold which brings me to the list of my Top 5 Favorite Tim Curry Roles!

Cover Me Monday: Why Don’t You Love Me
Sometimes you don’t really know what songs could benefit from being a little “rocked up” and to be honest this song is a prime example. I am not that big a fan of the Beyonce original of this song…it was yet another in the Beyonce oeuvre of sassy R&B, “I am woman hear me be melismatic!” tunes and if you have heard one of those puppies you’ve heard more than enough. But in the hands of Grace Potter & The Nocturnals it becomes a hard-charging, bluesy rock song with Ms Potter doing her damnedest to channel the energy of Grace … Continue reading Cover Me Monday: Why Don’t You Love Me

The Seven Best Not-So Final Girls
The Not-So Final Girl is my own little observation about horror movies (most notably the slasher variety) and a tweak on the trope of the Final Girl, in that there is almost always one female character in a slasher film that usually gives the killer a run for his money before finally being taken out or just makes a huge enough impression on the audience (mostly through a strong performance by the actress) that we begin to wish she didn’t have to die.
