Braindead Shithead

I found this old video of my favorite Queen song, "Death on Two Legs," and I had to share it.

I actually scooped the greatest blog on the planet, WFMU! My post on "feedback man" beat WFMU's post by almost 2 hours.

Sorry. I just had to pat myself on the back because I'm sure this will never happen again!

Well, that didn't last long. This link is via WFMU (back to normal!).

Watch the old folks get down to some Velvet Underground on the Lawrence Welk Show!

A bit late this week, but we continue with Multiplication Rock. This time it's The Four-Legged Zoo.

I know, you probably didn't need to see that, but you had to.

Here is James Lipton bringing a little class to Conan O'Brien.
Very little, but what do you expect?
Here, he is reciting a bit of Kevin Federline's "Popozao".
Like I care if I misspelled it? Whatever.



And here is Lipton doing another one of his "classics", 'Y'all ain't ready'. Oh, you'd better believe that.

Another picture post but I couldn't resist. I'll actually bring you something that moves tomorrow night but for now, this is from my favorite photo blog, Top Left Pixel. It's part of a new sign for a store in Toronto called Active Surplus. Now that's my kind of store. It's hard to get a sense of scale in this photo, but those are video game controllers on the shoulder blades so I'd have to say our little tech dude here is about 4.5' - 5' high. And incidentally, while we're north of the border, take a peak at my favorite web cam in the whole world. It's the KatKam in lovely downtown Vancouver. If I had money this is where I'd be living.

OK, you've probably all seen these by now, but I think they're cool so here's Ray Troll's Tiktaalik posters. Ray Troll is sort of like a rock star in the exciting fast paced world of fish illustration and for good reason. His art has a whimsy unmatched except perhaps by MC Escher. I totally love it! Be sure to check out his gallery if you're unfamiliar with this wonderful Alaskan artist.

Just in case you've been in a cave, or the Bush Whitehouse, Tiktaalik roseae is a 375 million year old never-before-discovered species of fish that represents a missing link in the evolutionary tree of life from when our flippery friends first hefted themselves out of the ocean to frolic in the mud on rudimentary limbs.

On edit: I swear there must be something wrong with me because this is one of the cutest critters I've ever seen. Keep your fluffy kitties. I'll take one of these for a pet any day!

What do you get when you strap microphones all over your body in a room full of speakers and electronic equipment?

Something like this...

I love stuff like this; some really high-resolution pictures of insects.

Hey everybody. How would you like to donate to a good cause and hear some great tunes? There's a group of ladies I'm very fond of who have a band called Lascivious Biddies. Last year their guitarist Amanda Monaco was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She's doing just fine so far, but many people are not so lucky. The Biddies are participating in the 2006 NYC MS Walk to raise money for research into MS and community treatment programs. I'm trying to do my own little part to help out and I'd like to ask anyone who can to give a small donation toward their goal. You can get all the details on Neural Gourmet. So why not come on over, listen to some great tunes and give a little to help out in the fight against this terrible disease?

Oh, and Madame, I think the music player will even work for you. ;-)

From Associated Press: Theater Pulls Trailer for 'United 93'

The AMC Loews Lincoln Square 12 theater in Manhattan said it made the decision after viewers complained they found it too upsetting.



"I don't think people are ready for this," theater manager Kevin Adjodha said.

Ok, I'm a crass, cold-hearted, unemotional cretin. So, upon reading the above, I immediately seeked out the trailer and watched it. You can do the same and view the trailer by clicking on this sentence.

I'll tell you, it actually was quite stirring. If it had been ten seconds longer I'd have been in tears.

I'm not saying it should be pulled, though.

Okay, I'm big enough to admit I love Bigfoot. I hope he/she/they are real. Growing up, I always wanted to search for Bigfoot. In fact, I used to pretend I was tracking Bigfoot in the woods behind my house. What was Bigfoot doing in the foothills of Appalachia? I haven't a clue. But I was going to find him!


Normally I just steal whatever I need from various blogs/websites, but this post from Bedroom Dancing is so good, I'm stealing the whole damn thing. Get your Bigfoot fix, including the fake Patterson video that had stupid hillbillies combing their neighborhood for Sasquatch.

Look at these tiny little pictures. Aren't they great? Or you can click on the tiny pictures to see the larger pictures. It's your choice.

Now, I love the Rolling Stones, and we all know they have a long and glorious history of selling out.
I mean, you've got to keep Keith in cigarettes, and Mick in child support, after all.

I found this...um...little gem. They're shilling for Rice Krispies, back in '64. Was it the beginning, or the beginning of the end?

Rapture and Riders on the Storm. Click on the picture below, then click on the same picture when you are redirected.

This made me laugh my immature ass off. Yep, I sit here...assless!

Behold the worst gameroom in the world. Enter if you dare!

I'm feeling miserable tonight and you should too so I present you with two videos featuring terrible cruelty and tragedy. Oh the humanity!

Classic classic sketch. I wish this clip included the next bit, "Rap: The Musical", but it's still awesome. Pitch-perfect parody of ridiculous White performers.

I would have never thought of GIRLS doing this sort of thing.
GIRLS.
Not girly boys.
GIRLS


Though you may be in a heap of trouble with your home town rag and residents, oh five teenage girls from Portage County, Ohio, we salute you and your April Fool's prank: dropping or suspending seventeen Mario Bros. question cubes around town.



The HAZMAT and Fire Department crews from steppied in to "defuse" the situation, so to speak, and for it the five girls could face serious criminal charges. Too bad, because if those guys would have just jumped up and hit them from beneath they might instead have walked away with a sweet power-up (or an extra man).

Oh yeah, baby.
It's SQUIDBILLIES.

Circa 1990
