If you remember Matt Damon once blew up at Jimmy Kimmel for blowing him off, show after show. I’m sure it didn’t feel too good when Sarah Silverman pulled this one out on his birthday show: (more…)

So if you score the big time and get Radiohead to play at your festival, who do you get to play the second day so everyone sticks around and empties their pockets? Why, you get Radiohead of course! (more…)

Who doesn’t love a good oyster joke, especially when I came up with it myself!

Two Gulf oysters walk into a bar and the first oyster sees a fishermen sitting across in a booth ready to eat the first sea food that walks through that door. He looks at the other oyster and says, “hey guess what I am?”

The other Gulf oysters replies, “I don’t know, what?”

“I’m an Oyster slider sliding out of this place!”

But on a more serious note, who doesn’t like to eat oysters? I know everyone I know loves them, but it can really be hard to figure out how to make them properly, and since they can be dangerous if cooked improperly, its important to do your research. I just found a really neat and informative website called Beoysteraware.com. They have everything from recipes to information about the risks posed to people with certain health conditions.

Before you go our and enjoy oysters, make sure you know your facts.

So, in an effort to one up my Wordpress theme design skills I set out to create a mass library of designs free for your use. I may charge for one if I think it is especially badass, but until then, enjoy the freeness. (more…)

I recently started a computer service business. I put an ad in the newspaper, and people would call me out to their house to fix whatever problem they had. After the ad finished my customers seemed to drop of the map, and I couldn’t figure out why.

One day one of my friends said that he wanted me to fix one of his problems, but he couldn’t find my phone number. I didn’t have the ad in the paper anymore and he couldn’t look there. Then it hit me, people liked my service, they just didn’t have an easy way to have my number on call.

I decided that I would give all my clients a magnet with my phone number so it could be there right on their fridge. I went to Vista Print and checked out their large selection of custom save the date magnets. The offer several different types, including business card magnets, perfect for what I was looking for. I even used the coupon code “Blog25FreeMag” and got 25 free magnets!

They printed them up and had them to me fast, for a lot cheaper than my local print shop! Plus, they make is easy to customize your magnet, all online! Now no one forgets my number, and business is booming!

Remembering how amazing this show was, I had to post it. If you are a friend look close and you will see us rocking out in the crowed. It was by far the most amazing show we have seen in a long time, so if you really want to enjoy life, you will join us next time we get to see something so amazing.

If you don’t like it you are stupid.

They claim be folk music noobs, the band knowing little about the genre, the guitarist not knowing how to play the guitar until recently, and their resume looking more like a punk rocker than anyone with any down home roots. Surprisingly, out of this mesh composed of Pete Quirk singing, Derek Fudesco from the Murder City Devils playing bass, and Marty Lund on drums comes a simple yet catchy folk music that makes you feel at home. (more…)

According to inside sources, local loser Robbie Mctailersono, found Myspace to be just like all the parties he was rejected at, and if he doesn’t get a comment soon he threatens to delete his account. (more…)

Justice has a new video! Full of slow motion dancing, we feel close to this video, and related to this families moves as the celebrate their little girls birthday. (and with a pretty badass Justice birthday cake) (more…)

To celebrate, even though I don’t have anything to really celebrate, I present to you a collage of You Tube love song videos. Cherish your love with these classic songs or drown your sorrow in a wash of memories. (more…)

Growing up my brother and I used to shoot each other with BB guns. One day a BB got lodged into his leg, so my dad bought us a pair of paint ball guns. He said cloths are cheaper than the hospital, and our obsession with paintball began. (more…)

I played my fair share of Mega Man II but I don’t think I ever beat it, especially on the Johan Agebjorn setting. This video features songs from “Spacer Woman From Mars” 12″ and all their 8-bit electronic glory. Find more information at http://www.johanagebjorn.info/ (more…)

Valentines Day has become a powerful force not to be underestimated. It penetrates every aspect of life, lover or not, and there is no escaping the fact that tomorrow people everywhere are going to be making out and eating candy and fighting and getting candy breath and making out some more. (more…)

(satire disclaimer) In a shocking development, it has been reported to the popular and always factual TMZ that the unborn fetus inside the belly of young child star Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant. (more…)

It has finally happened to me. I have always been very trusting of people, and didn’t take any precaution with my personal information. I had heard many reports on television but I didn’t think it would ever happen to me.

About five days ago I got my credit report and noticed 3 credit cards I didn’t even sign up for. Who ever it was that stole my identity spent over $3000! I was shocked!

So, to protect myself from now on I signed up for a service called Life Lock. It is only $10 and they protect me, and they have specialist’s standing by if anything happens. If I lose my wallet, I give them a call and they take care of everything. They are on top of my personal information, and will stop anything from happening before it starts.

With Life Lock I don’t have to worry anymore. I’m glad its all over, and I’m glad I can rest assured that it won’t happen again.

Dear Son,

It’s been a long time since we’ve written. We still don’t have a phone, so that’s why we haven’t called. As soon as I convince your father that the telephone has in fact been invented, you will be the first person I call. Please include your telephone address in your response. How are things going? I hope you are doing well. Your sister tells me that you are a writer now. How exciting! She mailed me some magazines with your articles in them. I must admit that your father and I were a bit concerned when we read about your latest invention son. “Old People Huts” designed to “house elderly family members when they become very ill or overly annoying” just seems a bit wrong Mark. After reading that, your father told me to unplug the phone as he was expecting the media to call and ask questions about you. I had to remind him that we don’t have a telephone. (more…)

The Pirate Bay has always been a hot spot for computer geeks, and is currently in the top 150 websites on the Internet. Recently federal investigators from Sweden ( The Pirate Bay’s home country) started putting together a case against The Pirate Bay for conspiracy to violate copyrights. For the first time the founder spoke on Russian TV about the whole thing. (more…)

Creating a stew takes a lot of time and hard work. Every time you make a stew, a celebration is required to give tribute to the love, dedication, and bloody sweat tears that went into making something that tastes oh so good.

How else can CricketSoda give tribute other than a video! Enjoy!

After a hiatus of dancing (I pulled my Glutoid-o-Mastus)I am proud to present Dance Levi Dance 3. I have mastered a few new moves! Please let me know what you think, and as always, please send in any suggestions you have so I can improve my dancing. I have come a long way thanks to all you out there, and can’t wait to better my own dancing. (more…)

On February 20th get out your night grilling tongs and pull up a chair for a rare natural show of epic proportions (literally). The earth will steal all the moons sunlight, and will cast a shadow across the surface of the moon. While this is more common than a solar eclipse, it is still a spectacle to see and celebrate.

The eclipse will begin at around 7:40p.m. with a partial eclipse. Slowly the shadow of the earth will engulf the moon until around 9:25p.m. when the full eclipse will occur, and the moon will start slowly coming out of the shadow.

So get off the tube and enjoy something amazing for a change!

(Satire Disclaimer) According to local eye witness reports a “Slim Jim,” or a really skinny guy dressed up like Uncle Sam, was used to bust well known prostitute “Lady Liberty.” Miss Liberty had been running a prostitute ring for over a year, and have developed a brand known as “The Night of Liberation.” Police report that with this bust, there a no longer an costume wearing prostitutes left in the city.

Once upon a time we were ecstatic to have our Bonaroo tickets in our hands. So excited that I tacked my ticket up on the wall where I could see it from bed, even though it was a dangerous idea, letting it float out in the world of paper hungry dogs and money hungry fingers. Our favorite band Radiohead would be headlining, along with Beck, My Morning Jacket, and Damian Marley. When it finally happened it was everything we could ever want in a music festival. (more…)

This year vacations looked out of the question. We had looked into taking a relaxing trip to Canada for a week or so, but with flights being so expensive it looked far out of reach of our budget. I wanted so bad to see Toronto and Niagara Falls, things I have always wanted to see but never have. I went to Vancouver once and it was like a magical wonderland, with clean streets and amazingly nice people.

Little did I know my grandfather had taken care of everything. He booked flights to Canada online and had tickets printed out and waiting for me once I got home from work. I have already decided we would just go to the lake and pretend to be on vacation, but it was really coming together. Canada here I come!

Sometimes movies try to take an idea way to far, creating a Hollywood love story out of a cult Internet following, and not giving us enough of what we came for, which was strange deaths. We read The Darwin Awards to laugh at some of the darkest stories we can laugh at, and the movie failed to give us enough. (more…)

This really badass video from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds features a seedy Cave with his hair slicked back, he mustache in full form, his shirt open to expose his chest, continuously walking to the grove as song related images flash behind him. (more…)

Your custom Wordpress theme can really be drug down by the lame gray default search button. Lucky for us this is easy to change using good old fashion CSS and a nice button image. Wordpress makes it even easier, as we only have to edit two files (maybe just one) to change our search button on the entire site. (more…)

So for a long time I avoided writing about Wordpress even though I was using it so much because billions of other people were writing about the same thing. Recently though I have realized that most people want to use Wordpress for its most basic purpose, which is to blog, and hopefully by blogging on an actual domain name they will gain some credibility.
