    Did anyone see the highspeed chase in Houston today?

    While I was channel surfing I came across fox news filming aerial coverage of a police pursuit in Houston. I watched it for over an hour.

    Shocktop?

    I'm a huge fan of blue moon, but ever since I found shocktop I really don't even buy blue moon anymore. The tastes are very similar but I shocktop is a lot smoother and has a better flavor, which is suprising for a beer from Michelob. Anyone else have opinions about this beer?

    When did discovery channel become deadliest catch channel?

    I used to love discovery, but now any time I turn on the channel, literally at any time of the day, deadliest catch seems to be on. It has to make up 50% of their programming. Every once in awhile they'll throw on an episode of MvW but other than that, its all deadliest catch.

    I saw the new king kong movie and thought it was pretty decent, but I couldn't get over how much Kong looked like 50 cent. If 50 grew a beard, their faces would be exactly the same. Too bad Kong was 100x better than his own movie get rich or die trying.
