i saw a short HBO stand-up/folk music comedy act last night that just cracked me up. there is a band called Flight of the Conchords comprised of 2 guys from New Zealand and they are absolutely hilarious.
What The Folk! is the closest thing to a homepage i could find for these guys. so for more band info be sure to check that site out.
here are songs from the HBO show… (my personal faves are “Business Time” & “Hiphopapotamus vs Rhymenocerous”)
have u seen Man vs. Vegas… it’s insanely cool. this guy, Darren, apparently lost several million dollars in the late 90’s and has decided to take his last 1 million and share the wealth playing high stakes games with whoever is around and willing to play with him. i saw where he got a group of ladies playing penny slots and took them over to the $100 slot machines and gave them each $500 but they had to spin the machine 5 times ($100 each spin) and they would all split the total winnings… they ended up with a few hunderd dollars profit after all the spins… but Darren decided to give each of them a little extra!! how cool is that… i hope i bump into this guy on my next trip to Vegas.
check it out it’s on CMT >> Man vs. Vegas
ok, i heard the other day that this is the last year that Mc Donald’s will be selling the seasonal Mc Rib sandwich. well… the mcrib, beleive it or not is something i look forward to during the off season.. something bout the sauce (some kind of drug in that stuff or something).
so mc donalds has an online petition that can be signed with simply your first name last initial… NO EMAIL NEEDED!!!
so, i ask for a minute of your time… head over to McRib.com and click “Save the McRib” and plug in your name… FOR ME… the addict!!!
mcrib farewell my hind end… i’m sure mcd’s just wants to rile me up (and get me to eat twice as many mcribs as i usually do this time of year)… but just to be safe… please… submit to the petition!
the best thing about Halloween… CANDY!!!!
i don’t really give much thought about the origins of Halloween… i don’t care what it once was… what it is today, in America is quite simply a day that kids (for the most part) get to dress up as something fantastic… be it scary or just plain fun… then they get to go door to door to collect free yummy candy. how can that be a bad thing???
so in honor of all the great candies out there i found this >> Name That Candybar Game
just playing it makes me want to put a towel in the back collar of my shirt (as i did when i was young) and go door to door as superman… and mob them for their goodies.
for non candy people… i hope u safely enjoy the other festivities tonight… haunted houses, costumue parties, scary movie get togethers… turning out the lights and acting like your not home and watching TV… whatever floats your boat.
how lame is this… last night i went to the grocery store to get a few things to get me through to this weekend. water and bread were on my list. i went to Albertsons and the bread aisle looked like it had been hit by a tornado… so i sifted through the debri and found a loaf worthy of salvaging. several aisles later i came to the water… and it too had been plundered. well i found a couple of the last precious few gallons of purified water and went on my way, but i was thinking… ‘man did the delivery truck for water and bread not show up this week or what???’
later last night one of my cousins called and told me i better get gas in my truck if i needed it, cause there are crazy lines and stations running out of gas. ‘what’s going on?’ i asked, and she told me that because of the hurricane headed towards Galveston everyone is stocking up on bread and water and gas.
i just gotta say this… i can live without bread for a few weeks… a few months even… probably don’t really need the stuff anyhow (according to Dr. Atkins) and i think i could survive on tap water too. i mean i dont really like the taste of tap water… but i would survive just fine. now gas… that’s a whole other ballgame… don’t get me started on a rant about how the stations and oil companies take advantage of everyones doom and gloom outlook when it comes to gas prices… sheesh.
the sad thing is this… i can picture all these upper middle class folks getting in their monster SUV’s filling up to go to the grocery store, then buying as much bottled water as possible… and they gotta have their bread… heaven forbid they go without bread for a while… then they fill up with gas on the way home.
for bread in water… the things i thought (when i was a kid) we fed to prisoners.
seems a little extreme to me. people need to calm down. yes these storms suck and yes they will impact us negatively in many ways… but i’m pretty sure Mrs. Baird’s and Sparklets will be ok… the only reason there might be a bread or purified water shortage is because of all the “sky is falling” people out there encouraging the corporations to raise prices and slow down supplies and boost their profit margins through the roof. so think about it… please.
this is a funny mp3… a voicemail of a guy who witnesses a car wreck as he’s leaving a message… he gives the blow by blow as a car load of gangsta grannys take down a tough guy with some road rage.
i had to blog this… on Conan O’Brien he had a skit where he showed pics of celebs and had their answers to various questions… and here was one that cracked me up:
Question > What do you desire the end of more than anything?
Tim Robbins Answer > The end of the war in Iraq.
Whoopi Goldberg Answer > The end of all prejudices.
Arnold Schwarzenegger Answer > The end of this Governor movie I’m making!
lol.. o it cracked me up.
alrighty… i believe somebody at Google has a little too much time on their hands… Google Gulp???
