Shining!

I’m too young to remember seeing any trailers for “The Shining”. But I found one on the internet. This one seems to highlight the more heartfelt moments. Enjoy.

El Dingaling!

Well, as we all know (and as was documented in the movie “Back To the Future”) Chuck Berry got his song “Johhny B. Goode” from Marty McFly’s performance at the “Under the Sea” dance in 1955.
However, the story of how “My Dingaling” came to be is one that had been lost to the annals of […]

Katrina: The Gathering

If you have ever played Magic: The Gathering, and have a healthy sense of humour, then this is the link for you. If not….well….go somewhere else…

The Brandon Sanderson Interview!

Not entirely sure how I snagged this, but I am pleased to present to you, my faithful readers, an interview with Brandon Sanderson of Elantris fame. I loved Elantris, and can’t wait to read what Brandon’s got coming down the pipe. Or is it pike? Well, whatever - Pipe or Pike, I can’t wait to […]

Music For Jerks: RockJager

Man. Let me tell you something about this show. I was…shall we say tanked? We shall. We shall indeed say tanked.
Thanks to several shots of BaronJager (not sure at which point several becomes many, so we’ll say several because it sounds better), this show is definitely not your garden variety podcast. I want to thank […]

He-Man and the Gaylords of the universe.

Wowie, wow, wow, wow. That’s about all I can say for this here He-Man clip.
Thanks to Dan, the master of the wienerverse for this link.

Strangers with other people’s dogs

This ad campaign is old, and most definitely does not match actual owners with their dogs, as is claimed, but is still funny and worth looking at if you haven’t seen it.
Enjoy

Roll that shit, light that shit, smoke it!

Why can’t we get channels like this one in the U.S.? Reporters that go to sex clubs (and have sex with people), do heroin, pot, X and cocaine on the air? You have to admit, that’s better than listening to Stone Phillips go on and on about some stupid trial or hearing Al Roker tell […]

Oh my god, we’re all gonna die! But since we’re dying, let’s watch some soccer!

Nothing like the professionalism of pilots. In the grand scheme of things, faking an emergency in order to stick around and watch the end of a soccer match isn’t so bad. I mean, it’s better than flying drunk, right?

Where have you gone, Monkeypup?

Maybe you’ve noticed that the number of posts has decreased a bit. Well, there’s a good reason for that. I’ve been working on something on the side, and might have a pretty big announcement in the next month. Nothing I can say now, but I will say this. I am excited. Very excited. Anything more, […]

I heart Jason Lee

Sitting here in a hotel room in Milwaukee, and I just finished watching “My Name is Earl” on NBC. Not since “Arrested Development” premiered have I laughed so hard during a new show.
If you have not seen it, do so next Tuesday. You will not regret it.

Music For Jerks V - 80% less johnson

This is the first of what will be three ‘themed’ episodes. This episode, it’s all about the ladies. As you know, I love good female artists. And I wish they got more play in the podcast world. So here I am, out to solve the world’s problems, and show you all how it’s done.

Sublime

Listening to Jay (of Jay and Silent Bob) having 80% of his dialogue dubbed by a different actor, speaking ‘clean language in ‘Mallrats’ is truly sublime. Thank you AMC. Thank you.

Shit, and I’m all out of quarters!

Thanks to Norante for this one…

Ajaxy goodness!

Whether or not you know what AJAX is*, you’ll like this online dictionary that uses it like a pro. Enjoy.

Home to the happiest Ents in the world

Nothing says funny like a headline including the words “HUGE POT FOREST.”

Psst, hey Fido….tell the cops I’m clean and you’ll get a treat..

Mix one part drug-dealer, one part vomit, some biscuits and a police dog and you’re looking at pure comedy gold.

The Sick, Sad Secret of Chuck Berry

You may, or may not, be aware of this, but Chuck Berry has harbored a shocking secret for 50 years. One that completely changes the way one looks at his music.
What could this secret be, you ask? I hate to even say it, but here it is anyway: Chuck Berry didn’t write Johnny B. […]

Excuse me, while I kiss this guy…

The post title is what ya call a mondegreen.
Not really the crux of this post, but close enough.
Basically, I’m curious as to how important my readers find lyrics in a song.
I’m of the camp that the lyrics are more or less meaningless to the overall experience of listening to a song. I know there […]

My Grandma Rocks

Just so you know, My beloved Grandmother, Caroline, loves Karate movies and listens to Rap when she works out.
My grandma is soo much cooler than yours. So there.
