G4's series Filter will return on June 3 with a new look, tone and feel, as well as a new host - model/actress/swimsuit calendar icon, Beth Ostrosky. G4 has also named Olivia Munn as the new co-host of the live news program, Attack of the Show.

Casting Call: Do you have a gardening issue? Then HGTV's Gardening by the Yard with Paul James wants you! The show is looking for fun, energetic, articulate homeowners to appear as guests on the program. Note: this is not a makeover show, rather a program that deals with specific gardening problems or questions. If you are interested, send an email with a description of your gardening dilemma, contact information and digital photos of you and your garden to: lsteele@sfpseattle.com. DVD or VHS tapes + description and contact info to: Lauren Steele, Screaming Flea Productions, 5950 Sixth Ave. S, Suite 109, Seattle, WA 98108.

My favorite part of that casting call is "articulate".

Today is 4/20:

It's Earth Day.
It's the 7th Anniversary of Columbine.
I'm sure it's some sort of pot day or something.

That's what the electric traps are for.

Re: you guys are having fun with the fact i can't spell

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

Actually, I thought you were making a disparaging comment about the quality of the program. But if not,

HA HA! YOU CAN'T SPELL!

Re: you guys are having fun with the fact i can't spell

[eyepoky.livejournal.com]

[jaina.livejournal.com]

NPR had a whole piece on 4/20 from the perspective of a mother of tweens/teenagers. It was fun.

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

On 4/20 the Columbine anniversary or 4/20 the drug code deal wtfever?

[jaina.livejournal.com]

The drug code! It was presented in an amused tone because the mom wondered where her hippie cred went, because she had to ask what 4/20 was. Fun fact: no one really knows the direct origin of the date. Eep, it totally wasn't all "haha, school shootings are lighthearted!"

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

No, definitely not - I remember hearing 4/20 in high school, and Columbine didn't happen until my senior year. I vaguely remember someone saying it stems from the police code for drug possession. Maybe it's because it's on Earth Day, and all those damn hippies light up.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Apparently there are a whole bunch of things it could have stemmed from. I guess everyone was too stoned to remember which came first.

[wangch61.livejournal.com]

i wish it was free pot day.

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

Next Wednesday is free cone day at Ben & Jerry's if it makes you feel better.

??

[eyepoky.livejournal.com]

they just give you a cone?
do you have to pay for the ice cream?

[wangch61.livejournal.com]

oh shit i just remebered it is my sisters b-day!
Her b-day is 4/20/1969.....you would think a person with that b-day would be much cooler.

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

dude, there's like 500 million awesome numbers in that birthdate!

Joey Lawrence and Carmen Electra were also born today, but not in '69.

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

And Joey Lawrence and Carmen Electra! They form a triumverate of evil and pop music.

This is the most educational thing I've read all day. Prior to this I didn't know one could be a swimsuit calendar "icon".

Is there an official induction ceremony, or is it more of an honorary title?

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

Not so much an induction ceremony, but a REduction ceremony as she is shrunk to 100x100 pixels. OH!

[restivemind.livejournal.com]

So, you're saying the honor is just "titular" ? *rimshot*

[andmydog.livejournal.com]

It's my little brother's birthday! Holy shit he's 25.
