Girls I Want to Stick It To - Kelly Ripa

Kelly RipaWhile Kelly Ripa may not be a girl, she is definitely a cougar/milf worth our attention. She makes Regis’ talk show bearable and looks effin’ amazing for a 38 year old mother of three. I mean jeez, whatever she’s doing - it’s working!

Kelly is basically everything I want in a sugar mama. Ladies - please take note! If you are searingly hot, loaded, good humored, and short enough to wear heels without making me look bad - you too may qualify. Her soap star past also gives me the impression that she knows how to feign interest - a quality that would really work with my ego.

Lastly, I know it’s part of her job to be up on current trends and such - but  here at the AudioShocker we dig commitment to pop culture. I bet Kelly would fit right in co-hosting an episode of the AudioShocker Podcast.

In short: Kelly Ripa, I want to stick it to you.

Girls I Want to Stick It to - Lisa Edelstein

Sorry folks - I was in the UK all last week. It kinda sucked. I missed a whole week of TV including BSG. However, more importantly - I missed this:

Yeah, that. Now, say what you will about Lisa Edelstein’s Dr. Cuddy and her seemingly permanent dour face, she’s got a little sexy to her. She’s got style and pulls off skirts extremely well. I’m not going to wax poetic about this or anything. Afterall, I’ve seen better stripteases by better looking people. I’m just a sucker for pigtails. Thank you Television and Lisa Edelstein for making my Monday bearable.

ComicShocker Week 17 2008

I went to my first comic book convention this past weekend. I’ve been reading comic books regularly since the age of four (well, you know, as regularly as you can read comics at four…) yet I’ve never really been a part of communal fandom. I got into the online comic book message board thing a bit in the past few years, but I wouldn’t even really consider myself a true part of that either.

So attending a comic book convention for the first time after reading comics for over 20 years was interesting. It just wasn’t what I expected. Ever been to a trade show or a business convention? It’s just like that except the attendees wear tights instead of suits. The booths and the salesmen are all still there, from retailers that go straight to the consumer all the way through to niche businesses geared especially towards the convention-going small press comic book creator.

And I wasn’t even at one of the huge conventions. I was at the Pittsburgh Comicon, celebrating its 15th anniversary this year under some extremely unusual circumstances. I enjoyed myself in the sense that nothing went wrong. But I feel so disconnected from the convention culture. I love comics for the craft, for the stories, for the characters, and for the sweeping metaphors. I suspect, however, that if I really want to make the comic book industry my career field of choice, I need to learn to love comicons too.

As for Reads You Need, may I recommend Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #45. It felt like autumn today here in the Steel City, and this comic book made me feel like October arrived early. This eerie tale is a solid example of why I’ve read more consecutive issues of Tales of the TMNT on a month-to-month basis than any other comic book series. Coming in a close second is Dynamo 5 #12, which finally pays off a plot tangent about the character Myriad that was introduced way back in issue #7.

Before I go, I should let everyone know that Avatar: The Last Airbender Book 3 Chapters 14 and 15 are online. I’ve watched both of them (a two-parter called “The Boiling Rock”) and I thoroughly the episodes. Chapter 14 is mostly setup — and Chapter 15 is doubly good when it really brings the plot home. If you’re trying to find these episodes, here are links to Chapter 14 and Chapter 15. Enjoy (and check out the video description on Chapter 15 for more).
