You must watch this awesome version of the Disney’s Adventures of the Gummi Bears theme song on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. I loved this cartoon and theme song as a kid, so I was thrilled to hear a soulful man — dressed as Tummi Gummi and drinking gummiberry juice! — dazzle the crowd with the song. Check it out and let me know what you think (please)!
Thanks to my buddy Gavin from Late Night for sending this out!
Today’s Coffee Talk is a double bonus edition…which means you have to treat it like a double rainbow. I expect you to cry with glee and ask, “What does it mean?” Seriously though, today I want to hear about your Black Friday wishes.
Welcome to Coffee Talk! Let’s start off the day by discussing whatever is on your (nerd chic) mind. Every morning I’ll kick off a discussion and I’m counting on you to participate in it. If you’re not feelin’ my topic, feel free to start a chat with your fellow readers and see where it takes you. Whether you’re talking about videogames, SAP being fined $1.3-billion for stealing Oracle software, trying out Coava coffee, or the magic of cranberries, Coffee Talk is the place to do it.
Today’s Coffee Talk is a double bonus edition…which means you have to treat it like a double rainbow. I expect you to cry with glee and ask, “What does it mean?” Seriously though, today I want to hear about your Black Friday wishes. Are you looking for games, computer stuff, new televisions, an iPad, or other goodies?!? Will you brave the crazy crowds or surf the Internet for specials (like this lovely Amazon list!)?
After you’ve grabbed your Black Friday loot, kindly post your purchases here. As for me, my Black Friday plans have been killed by a lack of income. Ha! I’d love to grab an iPad when Apple slashes prices on Friday, but I’m way too poor. Instead, I’ll draw on a piece of cardboard and pretend it’s an iPad. Ha!
Now get with your Black Friday wish list (please)!
Former WWE Superstar and current TNA World Champion Jeff “The Drug Trafficker” Hardy posted a shoot video blasting CM Punk. He rips on Punk’s attitude and straight-edge lifestyle. He also comes across as a drugged-out loser. To make it a family affair, Matt Hardy adds a line about CM Punk’s relationship with Amy Dumas (WWE Lita). Longtime WWE fans will remember that Hardy and Dumas used to date…before she cheated on him with Edge. Holy crap. Pro-wrestling really is a soap opera!
Let me know what you think of the shoot when you have a chance. Do you think Hardy looks lame? Or is he 2010 cool?
It’s Thanksgiving weekend — a great time to catch up on gaming and/or try out new games! What are you playing this weekend now that you have two extra days? As for me, I have an ambitious lineup of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw, Splatterhouse, Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom (if it arrives in time), Enslaved, and WordFeud for Android.
How about you? What’s on your Thanksgiving weekend playlist?
Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have revealed the names of the Pokemon Black and Pokemon White starters! The grass starter is Snivy, the fire starter (not “Firestarter“) is Tepig, and the water starter is Oshawott. I can’t wait to meet them!
How about you? What do you think of the English names for the starters? Which one are you digging?
While you were sleeping, North Korea launched more than 200 artillery shells at South Korea. Each side has claimed that the other shot first (What is this? Han and Greedo?). Here’s more on the situation from MSNBC.
Anyone else really scared about this brewing situation? Despite its claims of being able to refine uranium for nuclear weapons, North Korea is mostly harmless to Americans…but when you bring China and Iran into the mix then a new “Axis of Evil” seems ready to…do whatever evil things evil axis do.
Obviously I’m concerned because I have family and friends in various part of Asia, but North Korea can wreak havoc in the region and reshape the world — physically, politically, and economically. All it takes is one crazy man (or his son) pushing a button and the world will be changed forever.
Please, please, please vote for NXT Season 3 rookie AJ Lee at NXT.WWE.com. In addition to being an attractive woman and a potentially great wrestler, Miss AJ loves her videogames and comic books. Her combination of awesomeness has made her my new ultimate woman. Please help her win NXT!
The “Era of Awesome” has begun! The Miz (Mike Mizanin) is your new WWE Champion!!! From MTV’s The Real World to Tough Enough, The Miz has come a long way from reality television.
Welcome to Coffee Talk! Let’s start off the day by discussing whatever is on your (nerd chic) mind. Every morning I’ll kick off a discussion and I’m counting on you to participate in it. If you’re not feelin’ my topic, feel free to start a chat with your fellow readers and see where it takes you.

The “Era of Awesome” has begun! The Miz (Mike Mizanin) is your new WWE Champion!!! From MTV’s The Real World to Tough Enough, The Miz has come a long way from reality television. Due to his atypical background, The Miz had to work extra hard to get a top spot in the WWE; some people resented that he didn’t pay his dues in the traditional way and made things difficult for him. Through hard work, continuous improvement in the ring, and extraordinary mic skills, The Miz has made it to the top — WWE Champion and the cover of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011!
How do you think he’ll do as WWE Champion? Will he be a strong enough heel to lead a chasing face all the way to WrestleMania? Or will he be a transitional champion? Will his incredible promos retain their edge now that he’s not chasing the prize? Or will he be better than ever now that he can gloat to the entire WWE roster? I’m digging WWE’s youth movement and hope the company lets The Miz run with the belt for several months. What do you think? How will The Era of Awesome play out?
