In My Brain While Sleeping… Cartoon Island (And Possible Equine Lust)
They probably could have just called it ImagiNation.
This booze-induced dream is not the first “other format” brain leak I’ve ever had. I’ve dreamed in cartoon before (as well as comic panels), but each of those had more of a narrative.
This one was… odd… to say the least. Particularly for the fact that I remember very little of it. I know there was an island full of cartoon characters, not unlike (<—I hate when people write that) South Park’s Imaginationland.
Actually, I have to be honest. I only remember one thing. And though I’m loathe to admit it, here we go:
Rainbow Brite's horse named Starlite, was being "courted" by...
...BraveStarr's horse named Thirty/Thirty.
I’m hoping this happened in my subconscious because I saw two squirrels chasing each other yesterday, and not for any other deep-rooted,
mane-flowing,
silky muscular reasons.
Hibbidy-Wah?! Things You Did Not (Need To) Know
This is an oldie I forgot about. I’m not upset. It forgot about me, too.
This was sort of like a Happy Find of the Hibbidy-Wah?! kind. It was originally on Everything is Terrible’s website, and it caused them a world of potential hurt. Luckily someone else finally re-posted it, and Warming Glow brought it back to my attention:
And this little factoid will never leave my noggin:

A Handful Of… Songs That Have Made Me, Um, Cry
This idea occurred to me after seeing whatever commercial uses Gene Wilder singing Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. (To be fair, I’m pretty sure it’s for a certain telecommunication company, but since my cell phone can’t hold a call, my memory can’t hold a sponsor.)
Anygobstopper, here’s the original scene from the movie to move you:
What a haunting melody… man, was that movie dark or what?
Another classic that chokes me up fairly consistently: Harry Chapin’s Cat’s in the Cradle.
Damn, just looking these up is killing me. Curse you Five for Fighting, and your 100 Years.
The next two are definitely more personal than the above, but no less inherently tear-jerky (well, perhaps one is more so than the other): Mike + The Mechanics’ The Living Years and Joe Jackson’s Steppin’ Out.
And finally Sarah McLachlan’s Angel gets a mention because of the ASPCA TV ads, not for City of Angels.
Wow. This post wasn’t funny at all. Let me remedy that with an anecdote I heard about Arnold Schwarzenegger today:
While golfing, the Governator asked an opponent, “When was you last blowjob?” The guy responds with a laugh, “A couple nights ago, I guess.” Then while the guy’s taking his swing, Arnie adds in the Terminator’s voice, “How did it taste?” Needless to say, the guy choked (pun!)…
Finis.

Happy Find… Micro Mike Rowe
Eye Spy
Sorry, but mentioning this Happy Find sort of feels like nepotism… like something that belongs on STFU, Parents… or like one of those situations where parents make their kids put on performances.
A reenactment:
Parent – “Show them what you can do, honey?”
Child – “I don’t wanna.”
Parent – “But everyone’s waiting…”
Parent’s Friend that’s either drunk, brutally honest, or both (usually me) – “I’m not.”
Allow me to present to you my side project:
If you don’t know Mike Rowe by appearance, you most likely know his voice. Not only is he the voice of most Discovery Channel shows, he’s also the guy telling you to try a Ford.
Anywhoring, I’m having fun making the photos, and I wanted to share them with you.

How much is homage and how much is tracing?

Happy Finds… Playing Catsup Because I Mustard
I’ve had a busy week, but keep in mind it’s all for all of you! Here are a few of my Happy Finds…
1) If I could be a pinky’s worth of whatever makes up The Most Interesting Man in the World, I would be a happier man. I’m already a happy man because I’m not this guy:
Vodpod videos no longer available.2) I once posted about a Happy Find upon discovering Garfield Minus Garfield. I also painstakingly edited Garfield into other comics before I discovered the Adobe Suite (MS Paint all the way). Now I present to you – Garfield Minus Garfield: The Movie…
Vodpod videos no longer available.The next two are self-explanatory. Well, I guess the above two were self-explanatory as well.
3) Michael Bublé Being Stalked By A Velociraptor
This one has style, and bite!
Then what are fine arts?
5) This is for all the ladies that get wet waiting for John Cusack. In the rain! They get wet in the rain!

I don't get it either, Catherine, and it was my dream.
This dream played like a movie starring Actor! Catherine O’Hara. To begin, she and her family lose their home, so they move into a college dorm.
Upon arriving, they realized they packed their dog in the luggage and it peed over all her suits.
Suit case. Dog. Internet win.
(Oh yeah… it should be mentioned that she pretended to be a man a long time ago to “compete in a man’s world” and become an executive at her office, until they fired her and forced her to relocate to the college dorm.)
You're not fooling anybody, Mary Poppins.
In this new town with new possibilities, she interviews for a new job, still playing a guy. The new twist on her old method – the guy she’s playing will be playing Dorothy in the company’s new Wizard of Oz cross promotion.
Meanwhile, the boss falls in love with him, knowing she’s a her the whole time.
Truly, the only cool part was the fight scene in the falling house. During the tornado scene, Dorothy kicked the Wicked Witch’s ass. It was a lot like the Matrix, except the aerial acrobatics made sense…
…even though this dream did not.
Why? Why not.
Drunken Recollection… Hercules Goes Bananas In New York! (Amongst Other Things)
There was once a time when this film:
Arnold Strong?
Was called this:
What the hell is this?
And the confusion over this fact lead to a bloody fist fight between my friends and I.
No it didn’t, but that would have been a better story. Basically, the crew was boozing, this flick came up, but everyone argued with me about the original name of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s premiere film:
The phones came out. IMDb checked. Turned out I was right. Which I knew. And they were reminded that I always know.
So then they brought up creature I did not know about… the alligator gar:
See ya later, alligator... gar.
I currently wish I did not know about the alligator gar. Along with the candiru, good job on keeping me out of the water.
The last item discussed – and it was something we agreed on – was that if Saturday Night Live wanted to make a new movie after MacGruber, then Game Time with Dave and Greg would make great option.
Vodpod videos no longer available.It could follow Dwayne Johnson‘s character Dave as he meets Greg and helps him intermingle with society. This ultimately leads to them co-hosting the show. Hilarity ensues!
Aaah, what do I know… i’m drunk.
