GOD*JESUS

Japan has created markets for the darnedest things. For instance, choosing the most tactful gift to suit an occasion consumes Japanese sensibilities.

Consequent multi-cultural mayhem ensues in the form of this pious pee-wee desk robot. Ostensibly, he wields a crucifix/bouquet of violets. Substantively, he is effective at curbing youthful daydreams about coy debs with sensible haircuts.

Ewok Celebration Song (Yub Nub)

Father-In Law Day is tommorow and I'd just like to say, one very special gift may well be simply keeping things like this to yourself.

Benny Hinn: Historic Media Hype-coon


Ignore the evil deeds, think of him as a sincere fideist and he starts to seem like some sort of prototypical post-modern gentleman. Topped maybe by Homer Simpson (that time he warped into the third-dimension).

Consider the wickedness? Consider what keeps the Hinnmeister in PABA-free hair care products? Then acquiesce to Beelzebub, who gives the H-man: 3 1/2 Hooves (out of 5 possible Hooves).

If you didn't acquiesce, do so now.

Too Tough To Die

On LOL Cats

Two major cultural shifts contribute to the internet trend known as LOL Cats: First, the emergence (circa 1400 BC) of crazy cat people; And more recently, the mass distribution of low cost technology and the internet.

I submit:

“Most people today are confident in their ability to recognize LOL Cats and to avoid being taken in by them. So the phenomenon has not aroused much deliberate concern or attracted much sustained inquiry.

In consequence we have no clear understanding of what LOL Cats are, why there are so many of them or what function they serve.”

Yes, but what does this mean for stoic mice?

Journey at the Center of the Earth


Yet another classic story turned into demonstrative blow-up movie (such an unfortunate trend ...we GET it, the mans got initiative to spare).

The Invisible Man


Upgraded for the nuclear age, this take on 'The Invisible Man' origin story is immensely more thrilling than the Wells account of a 19th century English chemist.

I can't help wonder what happened to all those invisible guinea pigs though. Lost following the accident? Humanly euthanized? I'd like to think they were allowed to live out the rest of their days dining on invisible lettuce.

Pipe Dreams

Normally, I revile all rusticated pipes. So I was surprised by the Kent Rasmussen Sandblast Sitter with Ivory Inlay. No less than a paradigm shift wrapped in a conundrum, trading riddles with cake after cake of Virginia blend. If you want great workmanship, artistic design and spectacular materials you found it at $1,200.

Like many other male children of the eighties, I had a huge crush on Holly from 'Land of the Lost' and to a lesser degree Pippi's friend Annika ... but it wasn't until Leslie Ann Warren's Miss Scarlett from the movie adaptation of the boardgame Clue, when I found the impulse to copulate with a woman on sight.

Poetry Corner

Arguably the greatest sentiment to be screened on cotton jersey since ‘Liquor in the Front and Poker in the Rear‘.

‘Stability of a Penguin’ is presented with innovative meter, wonderfully unsettling subject matter and skillfull use of alliterative melody. Efficient but complicated enough to give the reader something new to discover each time. Easily surpassing the sum of its parts, becoming a tour-de-force survey of human emotion.

Besides having an awesome title, Robot God's Wierd Tales cover features a reference to one of my top ten Lovecraft stories AND the phrase 'I Killed Hitler'. By no means Smithsonian material, but a desirable piece of history nonetheless.

Hanson- MMM Bop music video
Mercury Records

Outline:

The Hanson brothers leave their suburban home on foot until a taxi driver drives them to an inner city RTD stop. They debus at an industrial park near a wilderness area and a a cave: a cave to the beach. After clowning around, they go plant flowers in the middle of a dirt road, then leave in a Volkswagen Thing for a joyride. On the way home, the boys stop in front of Thrifty to practice rollerblading.

notes- Whenever possible they talk about being on the moon without spacesuits, people who lived during the roaring 20‘s and “what are we gonna tell the cops?”.

The Princess Bride: A Movie Synopsis

The story of a murderer who steals goods and treasure from honest traders using a pirate ship named ‘Revenge’.

Wesley was once a farm boy who fell in love with a beautiful young girl called Buttercup. Abandoning her, he goes out to seek his fortune, reinventing himself as “The Dread Pirate Roberts”. He successfully robs and kills many, many people. Then one day, he hears from a fellow cutthroat... that Buttercup has been kidnapped. So, on a whim he tracks her down to the Cliffs of Insanity.

With the help of a drunken Spaniard, they eventually break up the princess-t0-be's wedding; Thus ruining Buttercup's chances of joining the aristocracy. What happens after the getaway we can only assume. Probably, the three retire to a sex-cult in far-off Gilder with their blood money, Buttercup thoroughly addicted to iocane powder.

Top 40 Through the Years

The Shirelles' ‘Will You Love Me Tomorrow’ represents a pivotal moment in music history; Overtly addressing the subject of premarital sex. The lyrics were revolutionary, paving the road for other groups to follow in kind.
A sociological case should be made for the existence of such songs: First, they get people talking about important issues, they also remove taboos which (may or may not) lead to sexual experimentation in youth. And besides, shouldn’t “the music of the people” reflect real-life situations?


The effect would experience an apex with 'Dude Looks Like a Lady' by Aerosmith:

After watching 'Star Trek: The Original Series', in order and in it's entirety, the verdict is in: Nancy Kovack (Nona from "A Private Little War") earns my prize for sexiest female. Truly a galactic beauty, this ex-wife of Zubin Mehta has the pin-up quality of Marylin Monroe with more acting ability and a tan.

Top 10 Chocolate Cereals

I was pleased to see that Candy Addict's #1 chocolate cereal corresponds with my personal favorite amongst ALL cereal. For me, absurdly sweet sugary cereals usually bring back images from childhood. So, when providence put a box of Trix in my possesion, Saturday morning cartoons naturally were in order too. But, due to poor planning, all there was to go with the Trix was some Chai flavored Rice Dream. I finally wound-up begrudgingly eating a banana and listening to 'A Prarie Home Companion' instead.
