Comics are forever brilliant and Alfred Hitchcock. That is all I’m going to say about that.
Picking out author cameos in movies is fun, as are pretty well every cameo appearance in movies one can pick out. Stan Lee is definitely one of the cooler people though:
Stan Lee DID NOT cameo in X-Men 2, Wolverine, Ghost Rider, The Punisher, Elektra OR the Blade trilogy.
Enjoy this 1990s cowboy rock theme from the past, made for the third installment of Back To The Future and performed by none other than the black clad, super cool synchronized groovers, ZZ Top:
Can’t get enough of that obvious superimposed look, and that tune is so catchy, love it!
Back To The Future has had a slew of media attention recently for its welcomed new release on Blu-Ray — Remastered with a whole lot of new bonus junk and interviews and stuff — Extras are great but the movie itself and subsequent sequels are heavy as is.
I boarded the 6.39pm train from work back home tonight. I boarded with a middle-aged fellow, late 30s I’d say, an Orderly who is a familiar face I see from time to time around work and I’ve caught the train with before.
Here we are, sitting on the sideways seats facing opposite each other, and he starts shooting the shit and making fun of my beard. I’m cool with that, even though I had to look at the people who were sitting around me just so I could feel comfortable talking back. (I don’t know why, it’s just an observation of myself)
He said I looked like a curly black-haired Santa Clause. I said if I dyed it orange I could rock a ZZ Top. He was old enough to get that one haha, prick.
After the train stopped at the next station for commuters, he says: (to himself. I hope)
“I wish I could just kill people.”
No I didn’t say anything back! What the fuck should I have said! (“Thanks for making shit awkward train guy“)
After which, he started talking about how the world’s best assassins are Canadian mountaineers. I don’t know what the fuck he was on about.
Un/fortunately we got off at the same train station and I tried to ease some of the tension I was feeling by asking him a question, that I thought I knew what his answer would be:
“So you like action movies huh?”
“Na, I hate them.”
“I’ve got to get some milk from the dairy. Byeee…”
My question is this: Was this guy reaching out? Because that was such a random thing to say and say loudly on the train of all places full of people. Or was he just trying to talk about something that intrigued him?
He started talking to me about shotguns and duck hunting and shit too before I left him but I don’t know anything about him really. This conversation stemming from fireworks.
Funking nutter has me worried. Who says shit like that and not care how others will react? I couldn’t even open my mouth without knowing the faces of who could potentially be listening.
Am I making a big deal over nothing or should I hang with this guy to see what his dealeo is? I don’t know… Silly bastard made me feel uncomfortable.
Maybe he was just super-duper jealous of Le Beard 😛 Here’s to trying.
How cool would it be if everything you learn in life came with a song? Super cool that’s how cool! For a Wendy’s training video from the 90s, this is surprisingly refreshing and should have been nominated for a Grammy… Yeah, It’s that good:
I don’t even remember my Pizza Hut training videos back when, maybe if they were anywhere near as catchy as this I might of. Learn from this fast-food-chain phat-cats.
Believe it or not, there is also a burger rap and a hot drinks rap video too.
– Wanna see’em?
Do you remember Skyrockets or Bottle-rockets? No? That’s because these suckers were banned from consumer purchase after a disastrous Guy Fawkes Day in 1994:
Know of anyone else who kept some of these ancient explosives preserved?
I don’t blame the banning of skyrockets, as a matter of fact I would encourage a greater enforcement on the purchase of fireworks simply because there are some majorly disturbed people out there and there is no control over who has the right to buy them.
Obviously children underage should be supervised but who monitors the adults that are purchasing? The one checkout person that doesn’t actually care of your intentions to blow your hands off? Fireworks are pretty when they explode but I still believe the possibilities far outweigh their 5 second entertainment value. Even if they are awesome.
‘The trend to blow things up using modified fireworks may be in the historical spirit of Guy Fawkes celebrations, yet many underestimate the damage and injuries these homemade firework bombs can and do cause.’ – NZ Fire Service
As far as I’m concerned about this night of the year; someone in your neighbourhood is bound to purchase fireworks and the only way they’re going to go is up. So you may as well pull out your deck chair and enjoy the show free of charge. And by someone in your neighbourhood I mean like this guy:
Still, I do like those Cascades that spin and light-up on the ground. Don’t ban those 😀
(please excuse the low-fi sound quality) Lady 6 has an amazing voice and this is a great song, full of hope, good vibes and doof doof:
This song can be found on Shapeshifter’s Riddim Wise album.
New Zealand music is world-class I’m telling you right now! I’m still waiting for this year’s summer hit though. Wonder who it’s going to come from?
Here’s another track I’ve been P Digin these past few weeks:
Enjoy Summer folks or Winter if you are that far inverse 😉
I have no problem with fur *Ahem* but this is ridiculous! The biggest ‘Furry’ convention in the world went down in Pittsburgh. This is a group shot of SOME of the attendees:
‘Furry fandom refers to the fandom for fictional anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics.’
My favourite lol worthy part of that photo (If I had to choose) is top-left; Sonic and a MythBusting-Walrus, and is that? A super solider? Probably gets curious when Cortana isn’t around. If this is your thang you might like to see some Furry Kama Sutra by Michael Cogliantry:
Animals have it easy, but at least I have opposable thumbs right… Right? Screw you animal kingdom! And furries! And furries that have sex with animals! Stop holding conventions and having fa-huh-hun!
The photo below was taken from the bleachers where I watched amateur-to-professional level ballroom dancing take place. The only thing I have to compare this artform to are classic Walt Disney pictures. But these people, young (very young) and old (very old) were doing it in front of my eyes (Modern Ballroom, Latin & American, New Vogue, etc) which was very entertaining to watch. For the first few hours at least, hehe:
The 50’s have been kept alive (terrible selection of 1950’s dance music though. Yeah, I know a few). This was so out of the norm for me but I wasn’t there for myself. I was there to support my immensely talented little brother, Kaig. I think he’s so cool. Cooler than I ever was at his age. All I did was squish mudbubbles between my fingers on the lawn and cry over ripped comicbook pages, lost marbles and bent Spiderman cards… *weeps* These folk knew how to dance. Much better than Richard Gere and Jenifer Lopez ever convinced me of. Yes, my repute for watching inane television is vast.
Kaig did supremely well, but most importantly, he had fun dancing with his partner and being active. He knows I’m proud of him, but it will take a few more years before he understands how much of a motivation and role model he is to me.
