The Kate Gosselin Halloween Costume Fan Fiction Contest ended yesterday with the publication of Dafs's heartwarming and also somehow chilling (paradox) story about Kate Gosselin's adventures on the African plains. Please do not forget to read his winning entry.
But Daf's story was just one of the many stories entered. The response to the contest was genuinely overwhelming, considering that the bar for entry was kind of high, and the payoff kind of low. Don't get me wrong, a wig that looks like Kate Gosselin's old haircut (not her sassy [sassy = awful, right?] new Jay Leno haircut) is obviously an incredible prize. The point is: you guys are the best, duh. It seemed inappropriate to only publish one story when there were so many great ones, and some only decent ones. What's true of pizza is true of Kate Gosselin Fan Fiction: there is no such thing as bad pizza. Pizza is delicious. Kate Gosselin fan fiction can obviously go either way.
ENOUGH ABOUT ME! Please read all of the wonderful Kate Gosselin Alternative Adventures here.
Oh wow, speaking of coconuts. Charlie Sheen (Terminal Velocity, Scary Movie 4) recently published a transcript of his 20-minute conversation with President Barack Obama (on a website called Prison Planet, which is how you know it's not going to be completely nuts). As the transcript begins, Charlie Sheen explains that he wanted 30 minutes, but the President's handlers would only allow him 20. Except that Charlie Sheen didn't have any minutes with the President, the whole thing is made up. Which makes the whole wanting 30 minutes but only getting 20 minutes thing particularly crazy because it is make believe. But it turns out that is the least crazy part of this whole crazy thing, because the imagined conversation is mostly about Charlie Sheen's 9/11 conspiracy theories, which is what we in the business call PERFECT. It includes a lot of naturalistic back-and-forth dialog, for example:
Oh finally, I am sick and tired of not being the one who decides when different parts of the mix come in and out (for drama). Why is this guy so bored of his own product? My favorite part is when he says "OK, this is starting to sound good," when all it sounds like is a worse version than the original song. If "all of your friends will be impressed" by this, whoops, you need new friends! You also need a new iPhone. Because I accidentally threw yours in the garbage can. My bad.
P.S. Sachar asks, "Why do they keep making ways for teenagers to be so annoying on the subway?" Gabe responds: "Good question? No, GREAT question. Increasing the annoyance-efficiency of teenagers on the subway is a cottage industry at this point."
The Terminator trudged along the wooded path towards the lake, his gun dangling by his side, the taunts still ringing in his hypersensitive bionic ears. He stared at the ground as he walked, and didn't even bother scanning anything with...

Last weekend, something strange happened. Some of the Videogum Monsters created their own secret, password-protected chat room. In 2009! Incredible! I suppose every monster has his cave, or whatever. As it turned out, though, we already had a Videogum Chat...
Blogging about TV and movies isn't all fun and videogames. Every week, Lindsay or Gabe will be presented with a physical or mental challenge that tests their bravery,patience, and taste.
The Challenge: I had to go on a 3.5 hour bus tour of totally random TV and film locations in New York City. Alone, and wearing a specific ridiculous tshirt. And I had to find someone to take my picture...
I went to see Where the Wild Things Are on Saturday, but it was sold out. Ay-ay-ay. That was a surprise! I mean, anticipation for this movie seemed pretty high, but anticipation for lots of movies seems high, especially when...
