  1. The Real Housewives of Orange County Season Finale

    Z…O….M…G. I was blown away by the season finale of The Real Housewives of Orange County. I have to admit that I’ve been a fair weather friend to my housewives. I watched the first season with Jo and Lauri, then sort of drifted away as they added new people (that Christian woman who dated younger [...]




  2. I Explain It All… Or Just Why I Love Clarissa Darling

    Must write blog post, but can’t. For one, there’s a marathon of Season 2 of Project Runway (the one with Santino… think, “Where’s Andraaaaae?”). For two, Google Buzz has taken over my life. When you’re unemployed, Gmail becomes your life. G-chatting, drafting cover letters and resumes, pressing refresh to see that you haven’t gotten an [...]




  3. The Art of Promo-Pushing

    The next time you sit down on your tacky sofas from Ikea, (I myself have each piece of furnature in my sitting room made from the skins of only the most endangered of species.) and squint to see the grainy pictures on your minuscule television sets (I don’t really like “cable TV”, so I‘ve grown accoustomed to paying [...]




  4. Urban Rage – Best Freestyle of 2006

    So I think I found the best freestyle video of 2006. If you know this guy tell him I want an interview.




  5. The Winter Olympics Are On… So For Once, It’s Good to be Unemployed

    Every two years, there’s a two week period where I become interested in, nay obsessed with, sports. I’d like to be a sports person the rest of the time – it’s one of those easy conversation topics, a shared experience. Much like the weather, but not lame like talking about the weather. But the truth [...]

  7. Roommate Wanted Replies, Gone Wrong.

    I put up a Roommate Wanted ad on Craigslist for my house.
    Below is the ad I posted:
    ROOMMATE WANTED!!!

    Hello! My name is John MacGregor and I am searching for a roommate to live in my nice two bedroom, one bathroom house. The house has centralized A/C, brand new wood floors and a huge yard [...]




  8. Mark C Discovers 2001: A Space Odyssey

    In today’s society we are faced with making important choices everyday.  Whether it’s which flavor Gardenburger to try this go-around (If you don’t pick the Black Bean Chipotle, you’re a communist). Or which season of The Hills you think is the best (Trick question, Commie. They’re all the best). That being said, there is no [...]




  9. The Biathlon: When Worlds Collide

    As I watch the Winter Games of 2010, a flood of memories come back to me. Who can forget seeing Mark Hamill land a triple sow-cow to take the Gold in the ‘88 games in Beijing (False).
    NAILED IT!!!!
    Or the courageous tale of a young Canadian snowboarder who, after taking first in the ‘98 winter [...]




  10. 70’s/80’s = Wtf.

    There is no doubt in my mind when I say that the 70’s and 80’s were probably the weirdest decade for America. The 60’s were weird but nothing beats the decades that followed. See, everyone did drugs in the 60’s; but the after effects of those drugs came about during the 70’s and 80’s. Does any [...]




  11. John MacGregor Interviews Jaimee Grubbs

    About 4 or 5 months back, Tiger Woods’ kicked it up a few notches and told everyone that not only was he the best golfer of ever, but he was bangin’ broads like it was Nineteen Ninety— Whatever year where a lot of broads were banged.

    **It’s the Thuggish Ruggish Boooone…**
    So, I get a call from [...]




  12. John MacGregor interviews Lauren Conrad.

    I had the pleasure of sitting down and interviewing Lauren Conrad from The Hills. I would say, it was a huge success, and I got a lot of great information about the show, and about where Lauren Conrad is going to take her life after The Hills. Enjoy…. I know I did.
    So Lauren [...]




  13. Watch The Sounds That Come From This Guy’s Mouth

    The one character that made the movie Police Academy so memorable was Sgt. Larvell “Motor Mouth” Jones. Played by comedian Michael Winslow – a.k.a. the “Man of 10,000 Sound Effects” – Winslow’s character reminds us that the mouth can be as versatile as the voice itself … and that any combination of the two can [...]




  14. Crazy Football Touchdown.

    This might be one of the craziest touchdowns I have ever seen.




  15. You know you hate your job when:

    Jobs are stupid.

    Is it weird or fucked up that I actually enjoy listening to people who hate their jobs? Someone goes, “My boss sent out a memo giving us a list of websites we’re not allowed to go on during work hours… and Facebook is one of them!” I’m like, “Those sons a bitches! Let’s [...]




  16. Funny Mascot Video

    The most entertaining mascot I have ever seen.




  17. “Sell Me to the Cigarette” “Bathe My Bird” Bob Dylan’s Creative Explosion

    We all know Bob Dylan is the man in some capacity or another, but this video really drives the point home. This video is a life changer.




  18. Halloween Dance.

    Only because it is halloween..




  19. Best Halloween Costume.

    I cant imagine how long it took to make this thing.




  20. Worst Music Video of All Time.

    Hey girl let me take you to the movies…




  21. TRELL5044: The Master of Pirate Car Reviews

    When I get my TV show or online car show, or whatever, I want this guy to be my lead automotive tester. Watch most car reviews today (Top Gear excluded) and the presenters look and sound like they got sticks up their asses. Not “Trell5044″ – He brings flavor to a typically bland journalistic genre.




  22. John MacGregor writes an episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S

    When I was 11 years old, I wrote an episode of Friends. It… was… to say the least… amazing. I sent it in to NBC on my 11th birthday, and am still waiting to hear back from them. I check the mail everyday waiting for my plane ticket to LA to come in so I [...]

    Everybody. Stop whatever it is you’re doing right now.

  24. John MacGregor’s How To’s of Life

    Allow me to enlighten you all. I know most (all) of you want to know how to do things. That’s pretty much why Google was invented. I’ve started this thread of blogs to give insight to both men and women out there on how to do certain things.
    What you’re about to read will change your [...]
