Netflix local favorites

No, not the remake, the original. I mean It's a great movie and all, but at the number 1 spot? What does that say about our fair city? I'm not sure.

Tweet Twits

There's a fine line between regular tweets and TWEETING TOO HARD.

Vacation Part 1 - Deerhoof

First up was a whirlwind trip to Chicago on May 7 to see my favorite band Deerhoof play at the Bottom Lounge. They have a childlike joy to their music, even when they're rocking heavy duty. The show was great, even if the guy in front of me thought he was at a Arsenio Hall taping. By the way, their drummer, Greg, is totally insane on a two piece kit. 

Here's some crappy short videos, with a link to some equally crappy photos.

Get ready to get catapulted to a new dimension of worship.



Be sure to watch the flash intro (courtesy of Michael Bay) for their website...
K AND K MIMES!!!

Futurama mashups

In the "Bender's Game" DVD extras, there is a DNA combiner of various characters. Pretty much anything that you mix with Zoidberg, Hypnotoad, Bender, or Farnsworth is gold.

"GOOD NEWS!!"

...this has been the catchphrase at work for the past week.

The Imperial Theme...

...arranged for ukulele and tuba.

Plenty more where that came from VIA aprilwinchell.com.

Also, BOBBIE BATISTA NOW WORKS FOR THE ONION??? We've finally completed our trip around the mobius strip of reality which began when Brian Unger left the daily show for MSNBC.

My NCAA office pool record is...

...1 for 10. So in the past ten years I've lost $50, today I won $45. Totally worth it.

more restaurant FAIL

My friend saw this and noticed the pair of purple "panties" in every glass...but I disagree, they're more like tighty whities, or some kind of grandma britches.

Jean Robert at Pigall's - FAIL

This was the front door of his now defunct restaurant on 4th street. Looks to me like a completely different type of establishment. Huh? Ah? Nudge nudge wink wink?

the BEST LP cover art

Add yer caption in the comments...I'll get you started:

1) "God I hate long division..."

2) "Did you take your shoes off? Because something smells."

3) "Hmmm...what rhymes with 'rim-job'?"

All Aboard the Freedom Train

TO: NBC
RE: get off yer ass

Dear Sirs,

Upload the skit where Neil Diamond and Bigfoot shill for their new duet album "All Aboard the Freedom Train." You can do it NBC, you fuckers.

Warm Regards,
Dave

•••UPDATE!•••

Apparently the desire to see this clip reached a threshold and convinced some dude to rummage through his old VHS cassettes...here it is!

Big Foot & Neil Diamond - watch more funny videos

big ups to BigHutch!

all the Knight Rider turbo boosts

Not once did I see Michael wearing a seatbelt. And, since you already have a metal band name from the Mack Bolan post, now you have readymade tour visuals...just need to learn how to play.

Roku box rocks

I bought one of those Netflix TV boxes ...it's friggin' sweet as Peter Griffin would say.

The compression on the movies is pretty good too. The only time I saw it really struggle was on very dark, shadowy or smoky subject matter. Otherwise, looks better than broadcast to me.

Yesterday I watched a little bit of "Silver Streak", which sucks so I had to turn it off....a movie called "SixtyNine" no, not a porno, but a thai film noir which was awesome...and started Spiderman 3, which kinda sucks so far as well.

Okay, so it looks like I'll have to choose more wisely, right? Wrong! It doesn't matter what I put in the queue..it's all FREE and UNLIMITED (with a netflix account)...so if it sucks, just move on to something else!

Mack Bolan!

In the days before first person shooters, boys actually had to go out and buy toy guns, and live the action themselves. Or you could subscribe to the "military porn" of pulp fiction, namely any book written by Don Pendleton and his underlings. I did both. I got a book a month in the Mack Bolan executioner series of milporn, which consisted of graphic descriptions of guns, explosions, and people's heads turning to red mist.

I put some of the cover art into a slideshow, and you can see how easily any book title could be a death metal band name. I especially like the covers which show Mack and his lady friend of the moment fighting side by side...cause you know...chicks and guns.

Oh, and I just finished Halo 2 (finally), Bioshock, and am in the middle of Half Life 2 (finally). Thanks, Amy and Rob!

Japan is alive...

...and I will stop trying to decipher your commercials.

"My Little"... (insert pop culture reference)

Space 1999

I have very fuzzy memories of this show, but one thing I do remember was that the design was pretty cool...sort of like the design for "2001". I stumbled on this huge cache of screen grabs of every episode. Sweet.
