Salutations, Idolator readers: My name is Jeff Weiss and I will be your guest-blogger today. Usually, I issue dubious, drugged screeds at my other Internet outpost, The Passion of the Weiss. Occasionally, I accept shiny beads and metallic tokens to write about music for theLA Weekly and the Los Angeles Times. The remainder of my days are spent drinking Cisco, listening to Crime Mob b-sides and endlessly watching re-reruns of My Two Dads. (They have a name for those who claimed that Paul Reiser was never great prior to Mad About You: Philistines.)
You may be wondering why there is a picture of Manu Ginobli to the left of this post. Well, dear reader, I wanted you to be able to get a mental picture of me in your head and as I have been told on many occasions that I am a dead-ringer for the Argentine-born San Antonio Spur, it seems to make sense. Besides, me and Manu have much in common, not the least of which include a love of basketball, the tango (rose in mouth optional), and the phrases “No Me Digas!” “!Uf!” and “Que Lastima!”

Do people really use “Mad about You” as a gauge to the greatness of anything?
Cisco and Crime Mob?!? You sir, are my new best friend.
What’s your favorite flavor of Cisco? The blue one is still my gold standard, but green apple and black cherry both have their merits. Combining that shit with screenings of “The Room” is amazing. Also, the CIA puts crack cocaine in it, which is great because it’s a $4 drink that gives you $6 or $7 worth of crack right off the bat.
