In case you're one of the few folks (like me) who have yet to see Samberg & The Lake's follow-up to the popular "Dick in a Box" video, here it is. And even if you have seen it, it's probably worth another look, especially on a Monday.

Earlier in the week we extolled the merits of local ad agencies gearing their work up for the game - now the Tribune has put up a preview of a handful of the spots. Instant impressions? Diet Pepsi plus Justin Timberlake = meh. Coke plus political punditry = surprisingly funny. GoDaddy plus a tease of cleavage? Been there, done that two years ago. But, as earlier, we still miss the Bud Bowl something fierce. Why? We don't know. Some things just are.

I'm bringin' Rexy back That other boy threw just as many picks I think Rexy's special... he's my quarterback He can turn around our team or I'll take the flack So maybe Lovie Smith didn't perform a parody of Justin Timberlake's hit song, but the Bears' head coach did announce to the press on Wednesday that he was changing quarterbacks again and that Rex Grossman will start when the Bears face the Seattle Seahawks on...

With all that went down this week, we thought we thought we'd cheer everyone up by giving everyone a double dose of dogs. It was a rollercoaster ride of emotions this week at DCist. Like the rest of country, we were floored by the news of so many dead coming out of Virginia Tech, and with so many of the victims and their relatives from the D.C. area, we felt it important to pay...

Some fans are petitioning against advertising at Wrigley field. Jesse Jackson went to jail to get an HIV test and to encourage inmates to get one too. No surprise: Oprah likes Obama. Thousands of insane people ran up the steps of the Hancock Center this weekend. At least it was for charity! They raised a record $1.2 million to research lung disease. Sharky's Billiards says they paid for Justin Timberlake to sign autographs at...

Just like Christmastime, each year Oscar season seems to start a little bit earlier. Some people were even making predictions way back in November, but we've done our best to hold our tongues. Why? Well, the Oscars are much less like a horse race and much more like just a good excuse to throw a party. If you're a film lover, it's better for your own sanity to care less about winners and losers and...

EOYW is a day late this week, and your forgiveness is begged. Luckily, most of the shows below are not yet sold out, so our laziness will not be to your detriment. For whatever reason, some of the most talented musicians don’t become well-known until after they contract some life-threatening disease that warrants a tribute album. Alejandro Escovedo managed to recover from his bout with Hepatitis C to release The Boxing Mirror earlier this year....

People of Chicago, Justin Timberlake has heard your cries for more.

When we heard that The Blue Meanies are playing Double Door, and Naked Raygun is playing Subterranean next week, we thought the local music news couldn't get any better.

Fed up with all you fancy pants online bill-payers, the U.S. Postal Service is removing hundreds of street-corner mailboxes from Chicago. They conduct quarterly surveys of mailbox use, and remove those that collect fewer than 25 pieces of mail each day. They blame the internet, with email and online bill pay replacing the need for most first-class mail, and also cite security concerns for removing boxes near potential terrorist targets like the Sears Tower.

Sometimes, some days, there is a story or two that makes you scratch your head and ask yourself what sort of vortex exists in the world that allows for, say, an engineering professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago to buddy up with the man responsible for unleashing horrifically bland pop music sung by practically neutered, grown men onto the collective conscious.

As its name suggests, Theater on the Lake combines two of our favorite Chicago attractions. There’s nothing quite like seeing a fantastic show after an evening lakefront stroll. But there’s also nothing quite like wondering what the hell you just saw while darting through puddles and thunderstorms to get back to the bus. Thankfully, most of our memories attached to the shed at Fullerton and LSD belong to that first category. And this year’s lineup...

While the CTA’s budget woes are well-known, the cries of poverty that occasionally emanate from its suburban counterpart often go unheard by those in the city limits. So Metra has to find creative ways to make ends meet like picking up some acting work. Various Metra trains and stations appear in the Jennifer Aniston/Clive Owen film Derailed, which comes out this weekend.

You've got 5 more days to nominate your favorite blogs for a 2005 Bloggie award. Chicagoist is a big fan of the Bloggies and has already cast our votes (no, they weren't all for ourselves!) for our favorite sites and daily reads. Last year we even attended the awards ceremony in Texas where the creator, Nikolai Nolan, sang a blog song to the tune of Justin Timberlake's Rock Your Body. Pretty funny... reminds us that we have a movie clip of that somewhere we should dig out and use as blackmail!
