Rob and Big: Meaty Vs. Roomba

GeekSugar — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 03:07:40 -0700

I brought out the closet Rob and Big fans last time I posted a clip of the hilarious besties calling out a blogger, so I know you guys will love this! Meaty, the cutest white bulldog EVER, got a little territorial this week with a brand-new Roomba.

Pups freaking out on a vacuum is no surprise to petsugar, and gigglesugar has long recognized an animal's reaction to a strange cleaning robot as fodder, but I kind of cringed seeing that poor Roomba being destroyed! Aww, Meaty, just trying to protect your daddies, you're ok!

Rob and Big Will Call You Out For Blogging on "The 'Space"

Aside from The Hills, my other favorite MTV show is Rob & Big - it's a 180 from the drama of the LA girls, with skateboarder Rob Dyrdek and his BFF Big living it up a lot more lighthearted than their network neighbors. What they do have in common, though, is the frequent mention and featuring of gadgets and tech. The boys have an in-home ATM, a net gun, and spend plenty of time on their Macs and on the internet and "The 'Space" (from now on, this is all I will call MySpace).

This week's episode had Big organizing a dating game for Rob with some lovely ladies from the 'Space, and after one date, Rob discovers his date blogged about his kissing style! The phone-call scene afterward consists of the funniest you're-a-blogger-no-I'm-not confrontation ever - I had to hook you up with it in case you missed it!

USB Mixed Tape Set Has Me Longing For My Dual Deck Stereo

You remember the time before playlists, don't you? Those were the days where dual decks and mixed tapes ruled the world. Making a mixed tape was a big deal and not to be taken lightly. Just look at Rob Gordon in High Fidelity - making the perfect mixed tape is a laborious process that takes blood, sweat, and tears! Tears!

But since we no longer are slaves to the cassette, it seems the magic has faded with it. Handing someone a wimpy jewel case or a link to your online playlist just isn't the same. Someone else thought so, too, and is bringing back the fond memories with the Suck UK Mixed Tape USB set. It takes the best of both worlds: digital music, which is uploaded to the USB stick, and the tactile warmth of a tape case you can write on - old-school style with hearts and everything. Totally vintage geek and totally cool.

Geek of the Week: Drew Barrymore

Yes, it's hard to believe, but Miss Drew Barrymore was once a geek. Remember in Never Been Kissed when Drew played Josie Geller (known as Josie Grossie), a copy editor for the Chicago Sun-Times who wanted to be a reporter? When she finally got her big chance and was assigned to go under cover at a local high school, she reverted back to her geeky persona. With the help of her brother Rob, played by David Arquette, she learns how to fit in while being true to herself.
