With all this skirt-chasing and ghost-wrangling, you’d expect to hear the music follow the drama. When he’s thrusting his porcine revolver into the loins of the subdued, dude should at least have a nice bolero chugging away.

That’s what I’m talkin bout…

Fill in the blank with someone you know :

___________________ is one of the most recognisable music critics around — or at least his style is, not least for its willingness to tackle pop music as an art form worthy of sustained intellectual discourse rather than as a fleeting moment of adolescent flash. Reynolds breaks new ground, melding unbridled enthusiasm with a robust theoretical framework in a body of work that is thrilling for its eclecticism alone: he’s never less than compelling writing about hip hop, Britney or rave, as he is about grunge, prog or grime.

Until I am not so stressed out that I need a ValiumRx to have normal BP, no otolaryngologist will be hacking me out a new breathing hole. Sorry for the undue concern this may have prompted.

Defunker : Top Hat Monkey by Resource Rags
Sir Monkey of Essex was actually mayor for three weeks before anybody even noticed. His Free Banana platform was widely accepted.

Let me lead you through it:

Read this OverCompensating.com comic

In the comments, read along for the inspiration, this loopy, unawares, youtube video co-starring Kirk Cameron (”The Way of the Master”, “God’s perfect fruit”)

Start searching, and find eBay Forums: Very old Banana pull along toy with … :

I dumpster dove last night, and discovered this wonderful toy. It’s body is a horizontal 7″ banana with eyes and a pull along string emanating from its mouth. There is one small antenna on its head. Then, on it’s back is a 2.5″ diameter red ball with 9 antennae rising from, each on it’s own metal coil like spring, so the 3 red, 3 grn, 3 yellow balls sway about when the toy is pulled. On each side of the banana are 3 red balls as feet; they rotate and wheels would when it is pulled along. I know that I have seen this before, somewhere, maybe it is just from my memory as a child. I think this would have to go back to the ’50’s or earlier.

Don’t miss the first five or so pages of Google Images results.

Leading you to Blogography, and a neat little lesson about mis-interpreting God’s intentions WRT bananas.

I’m openly stating here, I am only 17.46% mainstream. All you arrogant punk-ass snobs who think I’ve sold out to the soulless corporatism of middle-American bourgeois sameness can suck it.

The Amateur Gourmet: Adam’s Asian Peanut Butter Sandwich

Otsu

These are saved for if it ever gets to feel like summer where we live, because I too get lazy and don’t want to make food in the house then.

Both these recipes turn me on!

it’s summer. Why eat something hot? Eat otsu–beautiful, bouncy otsu–and be happy. –Adam, the Amateur Gourmet guy

I love different kinds of peanut butter sandwiches, AND Thai-like food. Also noodles!

You know, it occurred to me on the way to work today, that there are all kinds of professionals. And they all can totally get into what they do and the tools they use to do it. Like my froend m0rk who worked a lot in the snow industry, and would describe the fabulous hill carving tractor things he operated with great passion.

So, on the way to work today, I noticed a lawn mowing professional speedily zooming and grooming the grounds of one of the State buildings near where we live. She looked really dedicated, and satisfied with her work.

“I could do that! I want to do that! I’ll become a State Lawncare Professional. How satisfying!” I thought to myself.

And I think I could do it. Just like I sit around with my “colleagues” now, and talk about some great equipment we’ve just acquired, or once operated, with great satisfaction … so too must the professionals in the lawncare industry.

And they have some REALLY sexy equipment too! Look: Hustler Contractor Products Page

P.S. The Hustler people also sell hats and shirts, real cheap, so get me one, okay? Thanks!

That has to be one of the best visual jokes to come out of this whole internet fad.

S’Clown Town’: Insane Clown Posse finds fans in Salem

If you’ve ever heard of the Insane Clown Posse, chances are you’ve heard bad things:
The band has been called “The Worst Band in History” by several major magazines.

Wow. I say, let’s stir up a war of Salem vs Eugene / clowns vs anarchists. I betcha 100 bucks the clowns would win.

I have this friend who accidentally ended up dating a juggala (i like to say it wrong!) for a while several years ago. She seemed nice, she was in a caring profession. But then shit went wrong and she like to cut up him and shit.

Crazy!

Bitch was thowed in jail.

In Tacoma, Wash., last summer, a group of juggalos
dressed as clowns allegedly beat and robbed up to 24
people [!!!]while chanting “woo woo, juggalo.”

Insane clown bitches.

SPORTSbyBROOKS - Eva Longoria Tony Parker To Spend Total Of 40000 Dollars On Wedding Cake

the cake spozably costs fifteen grand just to make. the 40k price factors in the price of two $tenK first class tickets to fly it to France.

Geesh. Celebretards! I don’t care how famous or “sexy” these people are, it doesn’t make up for them being complete Idiots. I’m sure. Having Kenny Chesney sing? That’s not even a little bit cool.
