Thanks, Guys
In my last post of the year, I wanted to say a little something about how grateful I am to each and every one of you who’s ever read an article on this site, ever listened to one of my radio shows or taken the time to send a message […]

Gulliver’s Travels Bombs
America, thank you for giving me the best possible present you could have this Christmas (other than a job that allows me to feel I have worth as a human being): The thorough and abject failure of Jack Black’s Gulliver’s Travels at the box office. Sure, I could be glass […]
The Rex Ryan Foot Fetish Videos Are the Greatest Things Ever
A few days ago, foot fetish videos that New York Jets coach Rex Ryan recorded with his wife Michelle surfaced online (I’ll place one of the videos at the end of the article, saving you the stigma of having “foot fetish+Rex Ryan” saved in your search history at work). The […]
Bad Santa: The Best Christmas Movie Ever
Most people (aside from those blasphemous Hebrews and sandy scimitar-wielders) have a Christmas movie viewing ritual. Be it A Christmas Story, It’s a Wonderful Life, Elf or Home Alone, a film that is typically watched on Christmas Eve and filled with happy associations and memories. For me, that movie is […]
The Top Three Christmas Presents I Ever Received
It’s list time on Papa’s Basement. (Any time you see a list, it means I had to work in the early afternoon, leaving me 20 minutes to write.) Here, in ascending order of awesomeness, are the three best Christmas presents I ever received. 3. Bike (1987)-The bike was my first […]
Papa’s Basement 12-20-10-Yule Log

Lose Weight with Ayds
Just watch this gem. This one’s also pretty solid. How great is that? The Ayds diet plan. Ayds was big in the 70s and early 80s, before its popularity took a sudden, drastic drop (imagine that). Apparently, it was a mix of chocolate and benzocaine, which would numb your mouth, […]
Papa’s Basement 12-18-10-The Straggler
A straggler is that last part of a dump that just won’t come out. The little nugget that cheats you out of a clean sweep, instead leaving you with a wipe that looks like the face of a child that ate his pudding cup too excitedly. This episode of Papa’s […]
Dexter and Deb Divorce Because of Julia Stiles
After not even two years of marriage (that deuce anniversary is a bitch), Dexter stars Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter are splitting up, reportedly because Hall was getting the steamy undies for his new co-star, Julia Stiles. I can sympathize with Hall because marriage is an archaic cage designed […]
