I rarely watch Saturday Night Live anymore, but I was too lazy to change the channel to night and saw this little gem of a skit. It's Gas Right Strips, from the inventor of Breathe Right Strips. I have not laughed that hard at an SNL skit in several years! Watch it below and see if you don't have the same reaction to this awesome skit!

Famous "Rich Guy" Portfolios
If you've ever wanted to know what people like Warren Buffett, T. Boone Pickens, George Soros, Carl Icahn, and many other stock gurus are investing in, then I've got the link for you!

I'm looking at T. Boone's stocks right now and trying my best to convert my investments into his (if the buy-in looks right anyway). So far, I've gotten two of them at their lowest. DNR, which I've just purchased, and hope to have it come back up in the next few months. And IOC, which I purchased a few weeks ago at 9.80 and it's now come back up to 11.30.
If you aren't sure what to do in these difficutl stock picking times, then why not look to the gurus to give you a little help in your picks? It's making perfect sense to me!
Left 4 Dead Game Coming Out This Week!
I felt compelled to download the Left 4 Dead demo on Xbox Live yesterday just to see what the game looks like and how it performs. I don't normally play games with hordes of monsters that you have to anniliate to get to the end, but I've seen so much press on it lately that I thought I might as well check it out.
For starters, the game is quite frankly gorgeous. The design team did a great job on the cinematics and design of the game. I can't say enough of the game in that respect. I proceeded to play the game as Bill in the subway (you can pick one of four characters to play and two different campaigns in the demo), and I was enjoying just picking off the zombies at the beginning, one at a time while I wandered about with the other 3 characters. I didn't mind too much when one or two jumped out at me. Scared the crap out of me, but I got them down pretty quick, along with my helpful AI characters.
But when we began our descent into the subway itself, that's when I lost my will to play the game. In the commercials, you might have seen the shot with the many zombies coming across the street from right to left of the camera. Well, that happens in the game, and it happens a lot. Once they begin to attack, they attack from all sides. It becomes apparent why you need to walk along in the game with your fellow characters each turned a different way watching for incoming zombies.
As you might be able to gather, I didn't enjoy the zombie onslaught, but I think it might have been better if I had real people playing the other 3 characters. That way I would have known if the other 3 players were watching my back for me. You know, the "you look north, I'll look south" deal. That way the zombies can't sneak up on anyone. As I said before, the design was awesome, and technically the gameplay was excellent, as it was running off of Valve's engine; same one used for Half-Life. Just too many zombies for my taste!
If buying the game is in your future, consider using these links to some great deals on the game: either for Xbox 360 or PC. If you have an opinion of the game, how about leaving me a comment below? I'd like to hear positive or negative comments on the game!

Pittsburgh Steelers Christmas Collectibles
We know a ton of our visitors to this humble blog LOVE the Pittsburgh Steelers (our highest visited post is this Steelers PSL post), so to complement you guys, we found these great Christmas collectibles featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers. I personally like the HO-scale Pittsburgh Steelers train, but my wife loved the Steelers Christmas village. If you've seen that NFL/Steelers commercial that says "What's with that lamp?" and thought it made sense, then to make your Christmas complete, there's no way you can go with just a regular train or Christmas village! Which one of these do you like and why?
