Admit it, you cheated on your matchstick bridge in jr. high

"Patrick Acton’s version of Minas Tirith is one of his biggest and most detailed matchstick models yet, as he has constructed his rendition of the tremendously ancient city that Tolkien says “appears hewn from the rock of Mount Mindolluin” in the White Mountains. Tolkien’s fortress city is said to tower 700 feet above the Pelennor Fields in Middle Earth’s land of Gondor. Acton’s matchstick version of the seven-level city was started in 2007 and took nearly three years when completed in February 2010. The Minas Tirith model contains hundreds of city buildings and is topped with the Citadel, the Tree of Gondor, and the White Tower of Ecthelion."

Ps. Mark, you done changed.

C'mon blog, pick it up

G's B is dragging ass here at the end of the summer.

He really gets going during The Office outtakes, right around 0:50.

Seen Patton? I watched that one over the weekend to satisfy my thirst for even more patriotism, even after watching Glenn Beck ask God to take over as Commander in Chief. (God help us is right.)

Also, we don't recommend enough books on this blog.

If you liked watching Man On Wire, find a copy of Let the Great World Spin.

could have been a 7peat..oh well

Not sure if anyone's been following these 30 for 30 movies. They've been great so far and I'm super excited for this upcoming one on Jordan playing baseball

Sometimes you gotta...

So I know this blog is a manly man's blog. I like chopping wood, harassing women and eating uncooked meat as much as the next guy. In fact, I did all three at the same time this weekend. On a side note, real men don't go to the stinking emergency room for axe related injuries. We stitch ourselves with the leather shoelaces of our Timberlands. But sometimes; even the most macho of the Randy Savages (does that work?) need a little cute fix. So without further ado...SLOTHS!

Grab a beverage. This is worth all seven minutes.
