Upon initial view, When Harry Met Sally… seems like a shameless Hollywood rip-off of Woody Allen’s masterpieces Annie Hall and Manhattan, which is slightly ironic, given that we just took a look at Annie Hall last week. There were so many similarities — the Jew-shiksa romance, the lush autumn New York City foliage, the ivory-tinkling Gershwin standards, even the white credits set on a black background. But now, the movie plays as a loving homage to a director who had already lost his romantic-comedy way. And as it turns out, Rob Reiner’s film about two friends trying to have a platonic relationship was ahead of its time. But, well …. there’s only one roadblock: looooooooove.

Whipped cream or no whipped cream?
I don’t know about those pansies in Washington, but we sure as hell wouldn’t complain about a hot barista serving our coffee in pasties and a thong.
There’s no crying in baseball
Except, unless there’s mitigating circumstances. If we got a wiener in the eye, we’d cry too.
Hummer: no happy ending?
Everyone who sees a Hummer thinks one of two things: a) “Somebody has penis issues,” or–if you’re also a Hummer owner–b) “Mine’s bigger.”
But, those halcyon days of gloating from your Pontiac Aztec or PT Cruiser at stupider spending choices may be numbered. The Chinese have backed out of purchase negotiations of the line from General Motors.
With no buyers, GM may be forced to shut down the brand, ending all production. This may be the worst news for douchebags since cone snails, which are where puka shells come from, were added to the endangered species list.
GM will continue to look for offers for Hummer, but it’s not looking good to spokesman Nick Richards.
“Hummer going down?” Richards said. “It sucks, bra.”
Cue X-Files theme song
A 2-ton object crashed to the ground in Mongolia. Nobody is sure what it is, so a report was sent in to MUFON, a UFO-tracking organization. Could it be something from a tangent universe? Or even as far away as-gasp-North Dakota?
The report states that two objects fell near the Mongolian capital on February 19. The first object, according to the report, weighed 10 kg, while the second larger object weighed “approximately 2 tons.”
Has anybody opened this thing up to see whether there are any aliens trapped inside? And if so, have they been created by a punch from Will Smith?
Women sit down for their rights
Despite the name, SeriouslyGuys is all about women’s lib. We are big into the advancement of womanocity. That’s why we are thrilled with Japan’s All Nippon (*snicker*) Airways.
The airline is introducing women-only toilets on its planes. Why? Because it will cut down on the wait in line for men. Wait–no, actually it’s because the womens wanted their own bathroom. One of their annoyances is that men often leave the seat up.
Really? You’re on a plane with a tiny toilet bumping around and you care about the seat being up? Just imagine if they left it down.
