So, Duh! Pop Quiz… Movie Trailers Game (UPDATED)

Posted on by sgottahurt

Yay! A movie quiz!

For today’s So, Duh! Pop Quiz, I’m going to try out something a little different.  It’s a game called Movie Trailers, or at least I call it that.

The concept is simple:

You get three pictures of Actors! (sometimes cut from their respective movie posters, sometimes in their actual roles).  The catch is each title flows into the next.  Say, for instance, the image is this:

The answer would be Iron Man on Fire in the Sky (Iron Man – Man on Fire – Fire in the Sky).

The answer will never involve a trick like these: Blue Steel Magnolia(s), Old School of Rock(y) Horror Picture Show, or Close(r) Encounters of the Third Kind of Wonderful.

The answer will always be individual words like this: Superbad/Bad Boys Don’t Cry,

If there is a number, the style must match.  Plus, “the” must be included: Lethal Weapon 4/Four (The) Brothers Grimm.

Ready to begin?  Good luck!

Hibbidy-Wah?! Get Out Of There!

Posted on by sgottahurt

I never realized how often characters in movie and TV shows were in so much trouble, they didn’t know they should leave.  Hence the birth (and overuse) of the infamous uttering, “Get out of there!” and its ilk.

Thank heaven for 7 Eleven that no one’s ever told me to “Get out of there!”

Now “Get out of here!” I’ve heard plenty…

Coinkydink Or Coinkydonk? Am I A Trendsetter?

Posted on by sgottahurt

As I (unabashedly) brought to your attention in my last Happy Find, I started another blog called Micro Mike Rowe.  I began that punny wonder on April 20th.

Then on April 26th, this bit appeared on Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! Enjoy Little Danson Man:

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Hmm… my cut-and-paste craze is barely off the ground, and one screwball skit makes a trend not.

But then yesterday, on May 3rd’s Attack of the Show, apropos of nothing, co-host Morgan Webb appeared between segments as Tiny Morgan.  Alas there is no available clip of that, but this bit immediately followed it.  As (barely) proof, check out Kristin Adams opening for The Feed (or check this vid at the 2:54 mark):

Morgan Webb is much more fun to edit than Mike Rowe... Sorry, buddy...

Coinkydink?  Or Coinkydonk?  You decide…

(My Boss) Paul’s Top Five List… Songs About Obsolete Technology

Posted on by sgottahurt

We’ve been busier at work the last few months (hence me running behind on new posts at times), so my friend/boss Paul has been unable to create a new list to share.  Today, before heading to golf, he created this new list to share.

CD's may soon go the way of the phonograph...

Top 5 Songs About Obsolete Technology

5.) Spiderwebs – No Doubt

4) The Letter – Box Tops (or Joe Cocker, or American Idol’s Lee Dewyze)

In Someone Else’s Brain While Sleeping… (I Need A Break)

Posted on by sgottahurt

I recently had a dream in which I invented wind-up watches.  I woke up thinking they were a crazy idea, and then I thought about how crazy i was to forget that they existed.

While on the subject of crazy, one of my friends told me about a woman she worked with and the recurring dream she had.

Over the course of fifteen years (FIFTEEN YEARS!), she often dreamed of Morgan Freeman standing in a waterfall, wearing a diaper, and holding her unborn twins in her arms.  She never had twins or lost them, I found out, because then it would have been sad… like Morgan Freeman was playing his usual role of God, and all that other psychoanalytic mumbo jumbo.

So since it wasn’t a downer, I simply could not resist trying to imagine what that looked like, and here was the result:

(Not So) Artistic Representation

Musical Musings… That’s The Title Of The Song? Really?

Posted on by sgottahurt

"Don't worry 'bout a thing..."

While driving to the radio and jamming my car (wait I think I mixed that up), I was listening to a Bob Marley song.  I always thought it was called “Don’t Worry,” but then I started to worry about the perception of reality when it was revealed to me that the song was in fact called “Three Little Birds.” My universe came crashing down around me.  I screamed at the top of my lungs:

How could anyone do this to me?!

But then I realized Marley does mention three little birds in the song, and all was well with the world.  And it’s not like any other musicians have ever given their song a title, and then not repeated the titular line in their lyrics.

Here’s a list of musicians and their songs that don’t use the title in the lyrics:

Moby’s Porcelain should be called That Song From “The Beach” Preview

The Who’s Baba O’Riley should be called Future CSI Opening Credits (or Teenage Wasteland, I guess)

Gorillaz’s Clint Eastwood should be called Hey, What Happened? (The Cartoon Band Song)

Wyclef Jean’s Perfect Gentleman should be (and usually is) called The Stripper Song

Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit should be called A Mulatto, An Albino, A Mosquito, My Libido (a pretty cool name, no?)

Blur’s Song 2 should be called Only Song (‘natch)

Staind’s Epiphany should be called Waaaah… Wait, what?  Are you sure he didn’t say that in the song?

System of a Down’s Chop Suey should be called Wake Up!  Why Don’t You Put On a Little Makeup (or whatever it is that he says)

The Toadies’ Possum Kingdom should be called I’ll Not Be a Gentleman, which is somehow a creepier line independent of the song

The Righteous Brothers’ Unchained Melody should be called I Need Your Love

Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody should be called Mama, I Killed a Man or Beelzebub

The Refreshments’ Banditos should be called The World is Full of Stupid People

Fall Out Boy’s The Take Over, The Breaks Over should be called We Don’t Fight Fair (and don’t get me started on most of their other song titles)

Panic! At the Disco’s Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Off Her Clothes should be called anything shorter than that, like Testosterone Boys and Harlequin Girls (and especially don’t get me started on almost all their other song titles other than Nine in the Afternoon)

Green Day’s Basket Case should be called The Creeps (they also have a penchant for mismatched song titles, like Longview and Brain Stew and She…)

And the kings of not using song titles in their lyrics – Muse!

  • Uprising should be called They Will Not Control Us
  • Resistance should be called Could Be Wrong
  • Hysteria should be called Cause I Want It Now
  • Knights of Cydonia should be called No One’s Gonna Take Me Alive (the video should also be turned into a movie)
  • Starlight should be called what it already is…

Awful Battle… There’s A Time And A Place And This Ain’t It, Honey(s)

Surprisingly, I’m not as big of a candy junkie as one might think.  Heaven knows I used to be in my high school/college years, but not so much anymore.  In those days, I ate two candy bars per day (Caramel Twix and PB Max).  But that’s neither here nor there nor hear nor their nor hair nor they’re nor hare nor Nair.

AnyWhoppers, that’s not what this post is about.  There is something awfully wrong with this M&M’s commercial.  see if you can pick it out:

If you imagined Green working a stripper pole, I WIN!  (Plus, I also lose as well as you.)  If you didn’t, then check out this awful choice of words:

InASense, Lost… Nostalgia For VD PSA’s

Posted on by sgottahurt

Can you be nostalgic for venereal disease commercials?

Yes, you can be nostalgic for venereal disease commercials.

Comments Round 1

  • I enjoy the euphemism “Love… can happen overnight.”
  • Moustaches like those should be called manstaches.
  • Was that basket player only wearing a t-shirt?
  • They sure don’t make sunglasses like that anymore.  They make them like this.
  • “#1 communicable disease”?  How many communicable diseases are there?  (Oh.)
  • No one in that commercial looked to be under the age of 25.

VD is for everyone, eh?  Let’s run with that…

Comments Round 2

  • Victorian Era Girl has VD?
  • Violinist has VD?
  • Madame Librarian has VD?  (The one in the PSA is not to be confused with Madame Librarian…)
  • Too-Young-To-Be-Wearing-Makeup Girl has VD?
  • Pregnant Mom has VD?
  • Pervert Grocer has VD.  I’m not surprised.
  • What’s with all the ballerinas having VD?
  • Teacher gots VD?
  • Botanist has VD and plantar warts?
  • Creepy Uncle and Nephew has VD? (I opted for this over Father and Son of the Beach.)
  • Old Man Grabby Hands definitely has VD.
  • That baby does seem slutty…
  • Everyone knows joggers are syphilis farms.
  • That lady really loves her horse.
  • What the hell is that burn victim doing to that poor girl?

JusWondering… “I Don’t Think That Is What You Think It Is”

If you didn’t know, in the daytime, I work as a travelling network administrator (I almost wrote newtwork, but I got better).  AnyWAN, I came across found this picture as someone’s background while out in the field:

"Godse"

I nearly lost it.  It couldn’t be?  It wouldn’t be?  It shouldn’t be.  This was in a doctor’s office on one of the laptops, and there’s no way any of the ladies working there were that subversive.

What’s the problem, you might be wondering (aside from the fact it’s fake)?  Ever hear of Goatse.cx (don’t worry… the link is to Wikipedia)?  Essentially, it’s the precursor to 2Girls1Cup (also Wikipedia).

According to Snopes, my hunch was correct.

Those ladies at the office didn’t know that was not a picture of God’s Hands.  But if it was God’s Hands, and the break in the clouds was some other part of God, I don’t ever want to be caught out in the rain ever again…

BONUS GOOFSE!
