There's the edge of reality and the brink of sanity...



This group has 398,667 members at this point, consider me 398,668. Any mob that wacko needs to be patronized. Some of these people leaving comments on this page are darn right passionate about this pickle winning out in popularity against the worst band to ever exist in the annals of history I mean they are the work of the devil and they came up with the idea of homework and chores and jobs and all of the things that suck in this world. Who knows what they're capable of, what if I get a purple nurple...?

I want whatever CD he's listening to.



I bet it's really really knockin'...

I bet it's this!:




WHAT!?

I thought it was funny.

15 years of record store retail, DJing and a lifetime of record collecting...



HOW DID I EVER MISS THIS ONE?!

If I had a dog...

...yeah, I'd go there.

WTF?

Strange thing to write on the front of a church...

I don't know what those crackers did...


But these dudes look helluva mad.

Captcha=random band name generator.

You know those random word things you have to deal with when you post links on Facebook? Don't they seem like a random band name generator?




















Thoughts on the number 2

In numerology I am a lifepath #2... here's what that means according to

"You are gentle, subtle, cooperative, tactful, diplomatic, patient, sincere, harmonious, artistic, emphatic, intuitive, supportive, loving, humble and peaceful. You are considerate and sensitive to the needs of others.

You sense what other want and how they feel, you are a great team-worker and an organizational talent. You have an eye for beauty and you are often the power behind the throne. "


1 is the lonely number according to many popular songs, but 2 can have a party.

2 is a prime number and is the only even prime number.


There are two blades on a pair of scissors and two sides to a piece of paper. People have two hands and so do some clocks. There are two sexes and two sides to an argument. Two-dimensional means that something has just length and width, but no depth.


In "bathroom speak" a "number 2" is a polite way to describe a pootie (aka a brown banana, a brown dragon, a brown hot dog, a boo-boo, a booty cake, a bum nugget, a space slug, a sphincter spear... you get the idea).


My downstairs neighbor lives in apt#2...



Which makes sense because he is an absolute turd.

Scary TV commercial #4080

How long do you think it will be before someone names their daughter...

...Pristiq?


White folks got game...

Things I heard people yell on Wheel Of Fortune tonight:


"CHECKING MY BAGS AT THE AIRPORT WOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"THE BIG APPLE FRITTER! WOOOOOOOOO!"

"R! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"YOU LOOK HAPPY, YOU HAVE A PROFESSION YOU LIKE AND YOU HAVE $2000!"

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"THING!"

"FUN FUN FUN!"


College week on Jeopardy! is like regular Jeopardy! but the contestants look like they rolled out of bed and put on whatever was on the floor next to the bed.

The Lovers, The Dreamers and Me...




Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard
and answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic.

Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors.
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Goodnight everyone and happy birthday to my dear friend who left too soon.

HOLY S#!T



I feel like my head is going to explode.

I'm confused, who's the real genius?




Oh yeah, I forgot, thanks Rob.

Whew, "Lost" is gettin' deep...

...and upon a bit of research, infinitely more biblical, they even reference "The Last Supper" in the new promo pics.



I guess that would make this picture "The Lost Supper" ahhhh ha ah haha hah...uhhhh...ummm... sorry, anyway... you can click the pics to enlarge them, notice that John Locke is in the "Jesus" position? Claire is in it too, even though she died a couple of seasons ago. There are an infinite amount of clues in this show as to what it's really all about, or at the very least they are clever diversions, whichever they are, it's fun to piece together the puzzle. So to all my Lost peeps out there (no pun intended) here's a couple of cool links to some seemingly pertinent information... word.

"Lost" books: a blog dedicated to the many books referenced on the show, usually in key scenes:


This is a site that lends quite a bit of insight into character names, most of them are based on counter-cultural figures, philosophers and biblical peeps (yes, I did write the phrase "biblical peeps"):



Take John Locke for instance, the real John Locke was a philosopher and if you squint your eyes hard enough, the caricature that the "Lost" Locke is holding in the above picture kinda looks like the real John Locke who wrote this among other philosophical writings.


Me, like many "others" out there (pun intended) feel like a big chunk of the mystery centers around the biblical story of Jacob & Esau:
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1747152/jacob_and_esau_bible_story_puzzled.html


This is a rendering by Dore of the biblical Jacob wrestling with an angel.

I'll see y'all next tuesday when the 6th and final season kicks off, I'm really curious to see how this ride is going to end... word.

The Republicans need to take a joke writing class...

It's bad enough that people like Rush Limbaugh think that they're right for being fat bloated bigots, what makes it worse is that they think they got jokes, when in reality their collective sense of humor can be personified by a certain character from the hit film trilogy "Back to the Future."




To put it bluntly, for the most part the Republicans are Biff. Someone who thinks that they're smart and funny but in reality is the butt of the joke (synonym: ridiculous). Need proof?






This is what would happen if the school bully ran for class president without any campaign restrictions, a whole mess of obvious pop culture references, culminating in some sort of prejudice.


You could say it forwards or backwards and get the same result: "wow." What's next Biff, calling someone "4-eyes" because they wear glasses? (I'm waiting for one of those mock "inspirational" posters that says something like "Don't be so gullible Obama, you butthead).

Well, luckily an argument always has two sides... and the other side does have jokes.



Obama laid the smack down today on all politicians, there were a lot of standing ovations from one side of the room, the other side looked like someone glued their butts to their seats and then force fed them handfuls of sour patch kids... hmmm. Now I guess I'll "make like a tree... and get out of here."

"Tales From The Darkside" is the greatest TV show to ever hit the airwaves...

...it's like if Chuck Jones did horror films, or, if the peeps that did Creepshow had a TV series...


...which, well, is exactly what it was.

They later did another horror anthology show called "Monsters."

This episode really freaked me out as a kid.


Gaaaaaah! That vampire is so EMO.



"Someone who disbelieves and comes face to face with what they deny, may well die of shock."
Anyway, if you hunt down the series on DVD make sure you look for the one in season 2 that has Phyllis Diller and Lawrence Tierney (the old dude from "Reservoir Dogs") attempting to perform an exorcism, way too funny.

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K...

I found evidence of Bigfoot at my local corner store.



Okay, I don't know if it was really Bigfoot, but something left these tracks.


Whatever it was it abandoned its Heineken flip-flops.


Upon further inspection of the stores shelves I found many staples of the Bigfoot diet like "Cheddar Bunnies."


Plus a newer variation called "Fruity Bunnies." For the health conscious Sasquatch, there are "no icky additives or pesky preservatives."

I'm assuming there might be other, "hostyle," hunter gatherers that frequent this market... such gruesome evidence.


Who would crush an innocent pineapple... and who knows what poor food resides detained in this canned crypt.

I feel like my musical career may one day crescendo in a similar desperate move to support myself and my family.

Copyright Criminals

This is a well done PBS documentary about the evolution and legality of sampling.






I am slowly succumbing to the nostalgia of aging...

All of a sudden all of that crappy 90's rock I was forced to listen to in High School is starting to sound pretty good.



I feel a growing curiosity about the later catalog of Silverchair.

"THE WATER FROM THE TAP IS VERY HARD TO DRII-II-IINK... VERAAAAY HARD TO DRAAAAAAANNNK!"


Temple Of The Dog (sure), Soundgarden (yeah), Alice In Chains (no doubt)... but Silverchair is to Pearl Jam as any pop-punk band alive now is to Bad Religion (as it said on the S.A.T.'s). Plus, have you seen what they look like now?


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! RUUUUUUUN!!!!!
IT'S SILVERCHAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!


Here's a random thought for ya: whatever happened to Mudvayne?

I haven't heard from them in a while and frankly I'm a bit worried.



I'm starting to miss those lovable losers... you know, when you close your eyes and stop tripping on how freakin' ridiculous they look you realize they sound like a combination of when Anthrax rapped, when Fishbone started to not rule as much and Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers doing an impersonation of Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.


(I dare you to call him an ooompa-loompa).



Mudvayne was truly ahead of their time, if they had been born 10 years later who knows, they might be a successful video game today...



...instead of roadies for Adam Lambert.

Anyone who bought this album should be very ashamed.

Yeah, this is stuck in my head right now.



It can be a bit scary sometimes, realizing how brilliant something truly is.
I might have to make this my favorite song of all time.

Public transpo...


Now there's a wait fo' dat azz.
