Oy vey! The Missed Connections gods were with us this week and yielded the gem of a thread below about cheating in Pasadena. Picture Bud and Sissy as the two idiots lovers in question. If you have no idear what we're talking about, leave work now and watch Urban Cowboy - the documentary about life in Pasadena.

Houstonians were on the prowl for wood, tools and/or tongue rides at Lowe's last week. What gives? Seems like handy folks are shy - thus, the Missed Connections. Lots of photos were up as well. Although Houstonist is unsure if they help or hurt. Adam Ant? What the? Idiots.

Six years ago, Brooklynder Brooklynite New Yorker Aaron Naparstek began writing honkus - haikus about cars and traffic - and taping them to lampposts near his Brooklyn home after he discovered that egging honkers from his apartment window was not necessarily the safest approach to dissuading the behavior. Houstonist feels his pain. There's no shortage of idiots behind the wheel in our fair metropolis. Personally, we favor a potato gun for our road rage retaliation,...

Hello, Houstonians. Its that time of year again: the time when the Astros make idiots out of all of those who gave up on them. In-between yelling at the TV during games, though, here's some stuff to get you out of the house (so you can show off your Astros apparel, of course!)

Set in a 1930s speakeasy, the movie uses stunningly choreographed dance numbers and original song to tell the story of the speakeasy's pianist and it's manager, each played by one of the two OutKast boys. Its surreal blend of musicals past and present with an old-fashioned story and gorgeous production values has received strong notices from industry publications like Variety, which said that the movie "achieves magic -- something sorely missing from so many movies these days -- and does so via a philosophy of respect, but not reverence, for what's come before it'".......Sigh. Houstonist thought we just had a stupid comedy in the vein of Anchorman and Dodgeball? If you want another, though, there's Beerfest, from the self-proclaimed idiots who brought you Supertroopers. The films promotional materials tells us that ". When American brothers Todd and Jan Wolfhouse (Erik Stolhanske and Paul Soter) are sent to Germany on a mission to spread their grandfather's ashes at Oktoberfest, they stumble upon a super-secret, centuries-old, underground beer games competition-Beerfest-the Olympics of beer drinking." We'll leave it at that......

Houstonist noted yesterday that the owner of an East End boarding house that burned Monday, killing a man, also owned another boarding house that burned last summer, also killing a man. But the owner, Juan Hernandez, said the pair of fires wasn't really his fault: "The news media blames me for everything."
