Rough Night


The Far Side — for realz

I totally stole this from the blog section of my local paper.

Far Side Reenactments

On a side note — only click the links to my local paper of you don’t mind sitting at your computer doing nothing.  They changed to a content management system earlier this year and the site is now excruciatingly slow.

A Monday morning wake up

Come on y’all, let’s boogie some more!

This time of year, one of the iconic movies is It’s a Wonderful Life.  I prefer the version below.  I first came across this video when I volunteered at a local (public access cable) music video show called “Brand X Videos,” produced out of Xavier University.  This show was mostly for communications majors, but the student group that produced it was open to anyone — I even continued to work on the show after I’d transfered to the University of Cincinnati.

Even though I’m sure I’d heard ”Party at Ground Zero” prior to seeing the above video, I still wasn’t aware of Fishbone until that point.

They also do a pretty bad-ass cover of Sublime’s “Date Rape.”

Happy Thanksgiving, Sarah Palin!

I heard about this on the way into work this morning. This is, yet again, proof that Sarah Palin is completely oblivious of what’s going on around her:

Okay, okay . Maybe I wasn’t being fair with saying she is oblivious of what’s going on, but the part where she goes onto say how happy she is to be there while an ass-up beheaded turkey flails around just has irony plastered all over it. And check out that guy holding the turkey… WTF???  LOL

Friend of Failed Objective, Brandtidos, snapped this for me while he was out-and-about yesterday.  That one in the middle there is very necessary.  I got my braincase a burn this summer on one of my trips out of town.  A peeling head is a pleasant sight, let me tell you.

Fun moments

There were several “laugh out loud” moments for me in Chuck last night.  Here’s something that gave me a nice chuckle:

Morgan:  “Canada has just delivered it’s most delightful gift since Shania Twain.”

I refer you to last week’s “That don’t impress me much.”  Anyway, I thought it was kind of cool.

Shortly after that, I had a bit of a realization about the new assistant manager, Emmit Milbarge.  I hadn’t really paid attention to his name before.  Initially, I mistakenly thought it was one of the aliases Chevy Chase’s Fletch uses in the movie of the same name.  However, I did some digging and found myself to be wrong, but not too far off.  It’s actually a combination of the names of the characters Chevy Chase and Dan Akroyd play in Spies Like Us, Emmett Fitz-Hume and Austin Millbarge.   I thought that was a fun little reference, given the plot of Chuck.

Experience reaches the level cap

OK — Bad MMO humor.

From Portland’s KGW:

The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s drummer Mitch Mitchell was found dead in a downtown Portland hotel Wednesday.

Mitchell was the last of the trio.

A cake recipe that even I can’t fuck up

This was revealed to me by Brandtidos:

Microwave an Instant Chocolate Cake in a Coffee Mug

Oh, let’s be honest here:  I will, indeed, find a way to fuck it up.

Because I’m a hetero male

Depending on where you work, this might not be work safe.

This made me chuckle as I was watching Supernatural last week:

Edit:  I realized I should provide an explanation for those who don’t get it. Click below if you don’t get why it made me laugh.
