Ehhhh Goat

So I am a gigantic fan of the “How it Should Have Ended” and “Rifftrax” series’ of videos as you should have seen. Making fun of movies is in many cases far more enjoyable than watching them for me these days. I am excited to see the bad lip reading jumping into movies.

The Life of Julia

The world of propaganda is most times quite sickening. Today we have seen one of the dumbest examples ever given to mankind through Barack Obama’s Life of Julia. It is the heart-warming tale of a young girl who has a dictator leading her country for what appears to be the entirety of her lifespan. In Barack’s version Julia seems to love dear leader and participate in every program the dictator can dream up. I have made my own version:

Well there you have it the true story of the life of Julia. It could have been a lot worse if she had spoken out against Big Brother.


UPDATE: As I was making these images by messing around with the html I found this section of comment art:

Even the code is all about “The One”.


Make this Memorial Day Special

I would be willing to wager that there are many people who don’t know why we have Memorial Day. Luckily I am here to either inform or refresh your memory on the topic.

Memorial Day was something that came about in the years following the Civil War. There are several towns, both in the north and south that lay claim to being the birthplace of the holiday. At its earliest it was called “Decoration Day” which is when people went to decorate the graves of those who died fighting. The first officially declared Memorial Day was on May 30, 1868 when both union and confederate graves were decorated at Arlington Cemetary. At this time people in southern states did not recognize that day as the holiday. That did not occur more fully until after World War 1, when it became a holiday for more than just Civil War soldiers. In 1971 it was actually, finally made a federal holiday.

Make a special point to remember those who didn’t even know you, but died for you. And also remember those who may not have died while fighting, but did fight for you. And don’t just remember them on Memorial Day or Veterans Day, just kick it up a notch on those days.

Also let’s not let the following hilarious video be true:


Fun with Corporate Letters (McDonalds)

It is often very fun to write a letter to a company about their products or services. I once wrote a sweet letter to Charmin about a way they could save money by making rectangular sheets instead of squares. Sadly I do not have a copy of that letter or their reply which was very interesting.

Most recently I have written a letter to McDonalds about a problem I have had a couple of times at one of their establishments. Here it is:

Somebody who handles the drinks wears a ton of hand lotion. When I take a drink a smell like musky mouse urine wafts up in my face and overwhelms the taste of my drink. Normally I like the taste of mouse urine, but in this case the added moisturizers left on the cup get all over my hand and make me smell like fufu too. It is bad enough walking through a door after such a person has gone through leaving a mess of fairy snot on a door handle, but it is a whole new level when you feel like you are drinking it. Please tell the employees that lotion is something to be washed off of their hands along with the mucus, sebum, urine and excrement.

I am still waiting for a reply and will update this post with it if I get one.


Making Everybody Else Look Bad

I just saw something that made me feel like a schlub. What could it be that would make me feel so banausic? It has to do with one of the great regrets of my life. I never asked my father-in-law for his daughter’s hand in marriage. My defense has always been that she told me I didn’t need to, but that is a lame excuse as I should have just done it anyway. Luckily he is one of the coolest people on the planet and is very, very kind to me. Having two daughters myself now, I can say that I would want this little rite of passage to take place, but if my girls like guys who are as amazing as I am I could overlook not having it. All of that aside, let’s look at what triggered all these feelings:

I bow to this man’s creativity and really wish that I had thought of it. It would also have been handy to own a camera around the time I proposed. I also found something that makes me feel quite a bit better about things:

Seemed to be staged but I still feel a little better.


The Man’s Entire Catalog

“I’ll be honest with you, I love his music. I do. I’m a Michael Bolton fan. For my money, I don’t know if it gets any better than when he sings ‘When a Man Loves a Woman’.”

Mr. Bolton has been known well in mainly two areas; adult contemporary music and comedy. It is nice to see him participating in creating material for the latter for a change.
