Anyone want to guess what movie this scene is from?

This weekend, UH will have its graduation ceremony with one twist. There will be no congratulatory handshake from the Manoa Chancellor, Virginia Hinshaw, due to fears about transmitting swine flu.
Yes, the H1N1 influenza A virus is present at the UH dorms, and the chancellor who also is an expert in infectious disease does not want to potentially spread the virus by shaking thousands of hands.
I say give the graduates a commencement shaka instead of a shake!
JPop star Utada was scheduled to visit Hawaii and promote her new album This Is the One. Unfortunately, she’s sick with peritonsillitis and had to cancel.
Don’t let her appearance and JPop background fool you though. Her music is not what you think. On iTunes, This Is the One currently has 1247 reviews and is averaging 4.5 stars! Every song is solid, ranging from ballads to dance tracks.
Even though Utada’s not coming to town, you can get her MP3-format album for only $5 on Amazon for a limited time. You won’t be disappointed. Listen to samples below.
Back in 2005, Men’s Health ran an article about a study done at the Smell and Taste Center in Chicago. The conclusion of the study:
the smell of pizza can actually raise the sex drive in men
Can anyone vouch for the scientific validity of the findings? I wonder if hot dogs have a similar effect? Tabasco Man?
The surprising Semi-Finals of Dancing with the Stars included Gilles Marini, Shawn Johnson, Melissa Rycroft, and Ty Murray after the shocking elimination of Lil’ Kim. The DWTS Finals won’t be including Ty Murray who lasted through ten weeks of competition.
Even with decent scores from the judges, the rodeo king couldn’t overcome the strong performances of the other contestants like Gilles and Cheryl who posted six perfect scores. Is it only a coincidence that “Gilles” has 6 letters and “Cheryl” has 6 letters, and they got 6 perfect scores?
Here is what double perfection looks like.
Going back to Ty for a bit. His high scores during the Semi-Finals really surprised me. Yeah, he did good, but compared to the rest of the dancers, he doesn’t seem to be at the same level at this point in the competition. So why the high scores? Aha! It’s a variation of the old reverse psychology technique used by Len Goodman. In previous weeks when Len gave low scores, the fans rallied to keep Ty. Give Ty decent scores, and the fans aren’t incited to call in their votes, and bye goes Ty. Mr. Goodman is truly a master of gnosis.
Creative genius Kanye West went ballistic about Twitter and fake Kanye tweeters. Here’s an excerpt of his expletive-filled rant:
IT MAKES ME QUESTION WHAT OTHER SO CALLED CELEBRITY TWITTERS ARE ACTUALLY REAL OR FAKE. HEY TWITTER, TAKE THE SO CALLED KANYE WEST TWITTER DOWN NOW …. WHY? … BECAUSE MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD!!!!!!!!!
Here’s a screen shot of Kanye’s blog with his entire post (click to enlarge).
There is only one person I thought of when I heard there’s going to be a hot dog eating contest in Hawaii– the Tabasco Man! You know the drill, eat as many dogs in 10 minutes.
The contest goes down July 26 at Don Quijote Pearl City. Start practicing!!
More Twitter humor bashing the wildly popular microblogging service and all of its sanctimonious(?) celebrities.
I really don’t understand this video. Ashton Kutcher is my inspiration! 😉
Last night, I had to help by brother-in-law who’s premium European car stalled on the way home. I didn’t have to do much since the car is equipped with a special service call button that notifies the “watchmen” of any troubles. Fancy says my wife who also comments that you get what you pay for.
But somehow I found it funny that Boyz Towing came by to tow the fancy car away. I guess you had to be there.
The sporting world of badminton is a mystery to me. What I have learned is that if you want serious shuttlecock for the game, look to the Interceptor by Trident USA.
The difference is the professional grade feathers on these shuttlecocks, and who doesn’t want high quality feathers on his shuttlecock?
