Star Trek, Off Camera [Photos]

If you ever wonder who they make those bonus discs with all the behind the scenes features and junk for than I should probably come clean. I dig those features that show how they make a move almost as much as the movie itself.
It’s hard to believe that the world of Star Trek has been entertaining fans for over 40 years and in that time there are some great off camera pictures of the cast and crew floating around space with the Khan above being my new favorite.
Here’s a gallery of some more random awesomeness from the crew of the Enterprise from the original series to the movies to the Next Generation and finally to the latest movie by J.J. Abrams.

1-11-99 The Start of the Jon Stewart Era
When you think of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show you probably don’t think of this guy.
That’s Craig Kilborn, or Craigers as he liked to be called, and he’s the original host of the show. I remember when the show started because I wondered why that dude from ESPN was doing a comedy show.
The Daily Show started on the young Comedy Channel in the summer of 1996 and quickly became a popular destination for quirky news reports about Bigfoot fans and UFO witnesses and quick satires on the daily news. Toss in a celebrity interview and Kilborn’s famous (at the time) Five Questions and you had a good show. Not always great, but good. And nowhere near as political as it is now.
Then came the purge. Craigers left the show with his Five Questions in 1998 to take on The Late Late Show. Several others left including co-creator Lizz Winstead. Many other like the writers and relatively unknown at the time correspondents like Stephen Colbert held on as four weeks later a young man with a full head of dark wispy hair named Jon Stewart took over the gig.
The new era of The Daily Show began on January 11, 1999 with Michael J. Fox was the first guest and the top news story was Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial. Ahh…the good old days when getting a hummer in the Oval Office was the top story.
Let’s take a trip back 11 years to see how the Jon Stewart Era began. Here’s the first episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. You’ll see in video 4 (A Hastily Thrown Together Editorial) that Stewart addresses the changes to the show.
The videos are sadly broken up into 8 single videos and not one, handy episode. So allow a sec for them to load below. Comedy Central videos are notoriously slow at loading.

The 17 T-Shirts Every College Student Owns – BroBible
Pizza and T-shirts. The currency of college. And with every currency, there is a value placed on the T-shirts that any Bro/Brah obtains. This value scale goes all the way from the sad orientation shirts that everyone gets to the highly coveted vintage greek event shirt.

2010 Top Fantasy Football Wide Receivers – The Pigskin Doctors
Receivers, like running backs, are in a state of flux this season. As the best offenses in the NFL continue to spread the ball around, finding consistent options at WR isn’t easy. Beyond the top 15 to 20 receivers, it’s a bit of a crapshoot.
25 Photos That Prove Hipsters Suck – Manofest
Hipsters are the current scourge of American urban society. They’re a scary breed of moronic twenty-something douchebag posers who drink coffee in independently run cafes, only drink in dive bars, listen to “undiscovered” music that is undiscovered for a reason and only watch foreign films all while condemning anything popular.
Real Fun with Fake Weed – The Smoking Jacket
With that said, all bets are off when it comes to the legal stuff. So when the people at TopK2.com sent us a bunch of perfectly legal synthetic marijuana (legal in the state we’re writing this in, anyway) we did what any responsible comedy site would do. We blazed that shit up.

Throw Another Faggot On The Fire [Video]
Andy Griffith, you foul-mouthed man.
Kudos to you if you lived in the 80′s (like us) and watched a great movie staring Tom Berenger and Andy Griffith called “Rustlers’ Rhapsody.” It’s a classic 80′s flick that pokes fun at the old western movies with the good guys (who wear white) and the bad guys (who always wear black).
I remember this quirky comedy for a few reasons. First, it also stared Marilu Henner as a prostitute trying to break down the walls of cowboy Rex O’Herlihan (Berenger) which is a good thing for a kid
Second, it featured Andy Griffith as a mean cattle baron who muttered the phrase “Throw Another Faggot on the Fire.” That’s not something you usually hear from Sheriff Andy Taylor.
