Labor Day



Ow, my head feels like it got stepped on. Who stepped on my head?

This Labor Day we are watching the Season 3 DVD of Arrested Development! TopatoCo is away from the computers today but we will return Tuesday with a newfound sense of what the last episodes of Arrested Development are like.

We're also pouring 40 ounces of crocodile juice out for our friend Steve Irwin.

I am sorry for his wife, his young children, and his friends, but...

He pushed the envelope one too many times, and it finally fell of of the table. In all honesty, I hope it was quick and not very painful.

i was going to say pour a 40 of fosters out, but i dont know if they even make 40s of fosters, or if its even actually australian, and crocodile juice sounds much, MUCH cooler anyway.

Not to make this comment page about Irwin, but its really amazing how he died. His chest was pierced by a freakin' stingray, right next to his heart. I think thats only the third time someone has died from stingray related causes. What a way to go... being killed by a relatively harmless animal when hes worked with so many dangerous creatures all his life.

He was a great man who bettered his community and entertained millions. I've never been saddened so much by the death of someone I never knew.

Rest in peace, you incredible Aussie.

Have a good holiday and try not to run from the cops. Play dead instead.

Those cops are trying to save you from the slasher that kills fun loving youngsters in abandoned mansions!

^ oh my god YES. mr. rowland could totally be james dean, and baby could be natalie wood, and weedmaster that boy who was questionably gay or summat and YES!!

i'm really sad for mr. irwin's children, apparently his son is three. it's ridiculous, just yesterday my friend and i were playing with his novelty item of a plastic irwin that had soundbytes of "crickey!" and "crocs rule!". i thought he was like superman.

I was going to comment on how great Arrested Development was, and still is, and how the people at Fox are the debil. But, in light of Irwin's death, I have to do some really short, badly written eulogy. Ok.


He was a crazy aussie, like all of them are so I'm told, who I'm pretty sure put his baby in a croc's mouth, hunted crocs, and lived in the jungle or something. I never knew him personally, but if I were to meet him I bet it'd be a crikey good time. I never knew if Australian people actually said "crikey" before Irwin, and I still don't. He died awesomely, and will be infamous as that guy on teevee who did crazy stuff.

I guess, in a way, he's like a less-weird, cooler, does-not-molest-children Michael Jackson.


What a crappy eulogy.

Steve Irwin was the only man alive who could possibly have made Australian slang sound cool.

RIP, good buddy. I'll miss your TV show.

this is pretty sad.... but remember that month last year or so when it was like BAM famous people dying. it was like, mitch hedberg, terri schaivo, hunter s. thompson, and the pope. it's like, "what, why are all these people dying!" cause no matter what you were into, somneone you probably liked died that month.

that was sadder than steve irwin died. i mean, come on, the guy's job was pissin' off dangerous animals. i guess we were all like "oh he could never ever die".
