I don’t like this guy. At all. My reason is to quickly follow.
The way he sings in a whisper makes me imagine a man holding his cat’s front paws and making it dance, while he cooed much to the feline’s dismay, “You think you’re cooler than me.”
Anymeow, Mike Posner is from Southfield, Michigan, and as much as I seek to support local performers making it big, this guy – not so much.
To be honest, I originally thought his name was Mike Poser, and in a way under that belief, I appreciated his irony. Now he’s ironic in another way.
So here is A Handful Of local acts done good (not counting Motown, to make a point)… after the jump… Read More
Nobody knows what a Torosaurus is! Why not say that the Torosaurus didn’t exist, and it’s the grown up version of a Triceratops!?
(SIDENOTE: I know I’m not supposed to capitalize the terrible-lizards-that-may-be-terrible-birds’ names, but they have a special place in my heart… a place that’s apparently German and capitalizes nouns.)
This is tantamount to Twix calling their original candy bars Caramel, and their peanut butter versions Twix!
(SIDENOTE: Do not be fooled. This is not doctored. This is not taken from off the web. I took this photograph myself, and did some investigating. Choka U. Johnson is in fact real, and really did run for State Representative in the 9th District of Michigan. I don’t think he won, but I have heard he tends to finish last… courtesy of lots and lots of practice, of course.)
This edition of the So, Duh! Pop Quiz is easy. Easy for me to make, anyway. Courtesy of a current ad campaign for – what else – magazines. Figure out what each letter is from, and we’ll meet you for answers after the jump.
(SIDENOTE: It should be mentioned that this ad campaign has been going on for five months or so, and I only just stumbled across it. The cornerstone of the campaign is that magazines are being read more, and they’re not going anywhere. I’ve read one magazine in five months. You connect the dots.)
I’m an adult. I know this. I try to remind myself of this fact every day. I own a house. I drink beer legally. I have to use my arms and my legs to stand up from sitting.
So it’s fitting that at least one of the items in this Awesome Battle contains the word adult…
There is an incredible show on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim that no one but my friend, Chris, and I watch.
Sure, I should have set up the video, but I like to throw people in the deep end, let them get their feet wet and water in their lungs, you know. Essentially, it’s a fake reality (?) show about a family in the witness protection program, and it’s so absurd I absolutely love it. Season 2 premieres August 22, and I can’t believe I missed it during its initial run.
This second item… I’m not too proud about my excitement.
Apparently, some time between me leaving grade school and starting high school, these toys were out in stores:
Computer Warriors?!? Fucking robots hiding inside soccer balls, flashlights, and Pepsi cans?!? Mattel must have been trying to capitalize on the success of M.A.S.K. (my all-time favorite toy line) and Transformers, but just a tad too late or too early. If these would have lasted on the market, or arrived on the scene two years later when I had my first job at a toy store, I would have had them all.
But I’m an adult. I shouldn’t try winning some of them on eBay…
I was going to start this post with the video for Wings’ Silly Love Songs, and then mention that the following songs were exactly the opposite of Paul McCartney’sfluffy attack on John Lennon. So I did, but I don’t think that they are that different after all.
A love song is a love song is a love song is a sad testament to an abusive relationship. You’ll see…
So I decided that when I hit 50,000 page views, I’d mix it up. Personally, I think it looks a lot nicer all cleaned up.
Here’s to the next 50,000!
(And for the guys on that It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia forum said this site was all messy and gave them a headache, I backtraced your email accounts and called the cyberpolice… you dun goofed!)
Okay… dubbing the Detroit Tigers “The Shit” might be a bit much, but the recent turn of events has not boded well – hence them becoming “Just Shitty.” But the season’s not over, and the boys of summer can turn it around any second. Or minute. Or day now. Perhaps it’s just a last season slump happening way ahead of schedule, and they can come back for a big finish? Or maybe I’m dreaming…
But what else is a sports fan supposed to do in Detroit, other than dream? How about dream big:
*sniff*
I seriously tear up every time I watch that video…
In case you didn’t get it, these are actually courtesy of Not So Pure Michigan… The original commercials they are spoofing can be found here. Check out the other videos on their site. Hopefully there will be many more!
