Pre-show notes:

Shares on social media are the only way to keep these columns circulating, so make sure you click the “like” button and share this week’s thing on Twitter. If we can get likes and Twitter shares going as reliably as the comments, we’ll really be somewhere. Don’t make me make you Tout again.

- Thanks as always to Casey of Hammerlock Dialectic for gifs. Be on the lookout for another Wrestling GIFs Of The Month special later in the week.

Funny, Sexy And Awesome Cosplay Of The Week - Be sure to check out my cameo in yesterday’s cosplay gallery. Yes, I am nerdy enough to be Hooded Justice for Halloween. [Gamma Squad]

Lindsay Lohan Is Taking This Modeling Thing Seriously - … or at least she’s settled into a nice position as “lady with big boobs who smokes and people take pictures”. There are entire fetish tubes for that. [Smoking Section]

Ten TV Relationships That Should Never Happen. Ever. - I don’t agree with this list. I think Jim absolutely SHOULD cheat on Pam with Vanilla False Pam and become the Big Bad of the show. [Warming Glow]

First Look: NBA All-Star 2012 Jerseys - People are complaining that these are too plain, but I like them. ASG jerseys shouldn’t look like Kobe Bryant’s Christmas shoes, they should be blue and red and say “east” and “west”. [Smoking Section]

14 Photos of Alex Ovechkin’s New $4.2 Million Mansion - So hey, now that you’ve got a cool new house and Sidney Crosby’s brain is a glass of milk, you uh, think you could get us past round one of the playoffs? [Brobible]

lana del reyThe Best Football Fan Raps - Too bad the “fan” part disqualifies the Super Bowl Shuffle, that’s still the best half-assed football rap of all time. [Adult Swim]
