We’ve been AWOL for a few months, but we’re easing back into the fun. And to start it off, our comic-obsessed friends had us as guests for their weekend review podcast where we discussed things like comic reboots, George Lucas “improvements” to the Star Wars series, and if shit-heads are the new geeks. You can check out the podcast here: http://fanboycomics.net/podcasts/fbs-week-in-review/399-ep-032-the-fanboy-scoop-week-in-review  
First question: What the hell is a Bitcoin? In a nutshell, it’s a digital currency that is going to revolutionize the world. Here’s a handy-dandy FAQ about Bitcoins if you are completely lost. 1) Now you can buy drugs. Always wanted to buy a handful of marijuana leaves or a sock full of crack cocaine? If drugs were sold this way, you’d totally be able to. The transactions seem reminiscent of that time in middle school when you paid the
During the span of your 80 years on this earth, you are expected to eat for nearly 3.5 years, spend 6 months on the toilet, 12 years watching TV, 4 years on the telephone, 2 weeks kissing, work for a total of 9 years, sleep for 25 years, be able to put a name to 2,000 people but only able to call 150 of them friends, sleep with 5, fall in love with 2, but have sex 2,580 times. You
TUESDAY IS THE WORST DAY OF THE WEEK. I’ll tell you why. MONDAY sees you refreshed from the weekend. Remember all that fun you had on Saturday and Sunday? It’s still wafting over you, like God’s fart. By WEDNESDAY you’ve made it halfway through the week. If this were WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE, you’d be at $500,000! It’s also hump day, so do with that what you will. THURSDAY is oft referred to as ‘little friday’. You are
People are busy these days. So busy that all they really want is some peace and quiet, maybe do some sailing or spend a night around a camp fire, you know, just to get away from it all. Huh… that’s weird because our ancestors used to do that shit on a daily basis. And oddly enough the reason we’re so busy today is due to those exact same ancestors making what they believed was progress. I’m scared to think that
In the year 2000, I turned fifteen, as did a lot of other people. Here are some of the amazing movies I can remember watching during my formative years. This is in no way a complete list of the movies I saw during that time, it’s just the ones I can remember well enough to know that they had a part in creating me. Every movie listed is from the 90′s or earlier. I encourage you to leave comments regarding
If you want to make this whole smart thing work, make sure you know the word etymology. You should say it at least once somewhere in or around these other facts so that people think you are legitimately interesting rather than a scrub with a pocket full of facts.

As far as I can tell Donald Trump’s campaign promises (in the event that he would be campaigning for president) would be to prove and re-prove that the current President of the United States of America is not a citizen. After watching a few seasons of The Apprentice, and then Celebrity Apprentice… I think I’ve seen enough of Trump to know that I do not want him in charge of the United States. I saw a great line on Twitter
Dear Scrabble, Your words are not fair. You let my opponent Daniel Carlton play the word QIS… which I firmly believe is not a word and which I can only imagine to be an acronym for some kind of information processing firm full of other intelligent people who would also agree with the fact that QIS is not a word. Meanwhile, SLIMJIM is not a word?? Do you know how many times a day I use that word to describe
20 things it’s hard to be good at: 1. Grammar – While this should be easy, you will get made fun of if you use it properly in real life. You wouldn’t even be reading this if the title had been “20 things at which it is hard to be good.” 2. Flipping (a lot) – I really don’t think it would take all that much effort for me to learn to do a flip, but have you ever seen
