Nothing beats the original. In 1999, a phenomenon hit the UK. “Queer as Folk” premiered on Channel 4 and British television was never the same. The series followed three gay men – Nathan, Stuart, and Vince – and took the viewer on a journey on these men’s intertwined relationships. The show was attacked by critics […]

My favorite TV openers from the 50’s to today
posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street
When it comes to defining the overall feel of a television show, the opening sequence can make or break a show. I am a television junkie. I think it is a healthy addiction. I decided to dedicate today to my favorite TV openers from the last 60 years dating back to the 1950’s. Why the […]
Meet the Real Most Interesting Man in the World
posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street
via People.com. He’s called the Most Interesting Man in the World, the debonair Renaissance man in those Dos Equis radio and TV ads with the outrageous one-liners: His enemies list him as their emergency contact number; he doesn’t stick with just flour or corn, but switches freely between the two; he’s the only man to […]

posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street
BITCHY women in the workplace who play emotional and tormenting games are responsible for high levels of stress and sickness among their female colleagues.

Now their 10 installments have been viewed 4.5M times. Duncan Rule discovered “The Hunger Games” shortly after the novel came out four years ago. He […]
Sin with Sebastian
posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street
The most ridiculous song ever to be written, sung, or heard is: “Shut Up and Sleep with Me.” It is an assault on the senses, it is hilarious in execution, and so forward I wish I could be that way on my dates. Sin with Sebastian – the singer, song writer, and genius behind this […]

Weird to put a post up about a taco stand. But for 51 years Henry’s Tacos served meals to Los Angeles and we loved them for it. In high school we used to sneak off and get food at Henry’s because it beat the roach coach that came by our school. Due to a disagreement […]

Comedians are the Modern Poets
posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street
To understand Dov Davidoff’s humor you really only need to know two things about this New Jersey native: 1) he grew up in a junkyard and 2) lost his virginity to a prostitute in Mexico at the age of 12. If that doesn’t make you real, I don’t know what does. Comedians are the modern poets, […]
Hashtag Throwdown
posted by Daily Post from Bluxome Street
The hashtag as an ironic form of expression proliferated in #2012. Its use grew beyond Twitter to Facebook, emails, and conversations. It is the new form of air quotes; it as self-aware as it is awkward. I will indulge myself once and this once in using the hashtag as a framework for a blog post. […]
