The Jam Cam Ham



It's the perfect storm: A WNBA (Houston Comets) time-out "Jam Cam" collides with a flamboyant dancer. The results are captured on film. The rest is history.

The video presented to you now is one that I have viewed about 13 times (so far).

Aimee has already begun to mimic the staggeringly awesome moves of this fella. It's pure brilliance. The party starts about 14 seconds into it.

How a Frenchman changes a flat tire

Vincent, the Bizarro to my Superman and frequent nemesis, had to change a tire the other day. I noticed that he was removing the lug nuts in an entertaining manner.

Amused by his demented and evil peculiarity, I asked if I could take a picture. Vincent's sense of vanity compelled a positive answer.

Brilliant!

Aimee's thoughts on New England

The following two items exemplify Aimee’s perception of New England, where I grew up until the age of 14 years old. By doing Math, it is clear that percentage of my time on Earth is primarily OUTSIDE of New England, yet Aimee often addresses me as if I just shouted “Oh Captain My Captain” while standing on top of a Desk in front of Robin Williams a La The Dead Poets Society.

Oh Captain My Captain!



Thanks Boys, Thanks for Everything.




Whatever, Robin Williams. Stay away from the alcohol.

1.) The Tea Partay Video. A brief Description from wikipedia (the best web site in the Universe):

The release of Raw Tea line was backed up by viral video advertising campaign, based around short humorous musical commercial video Tea Partay (available on major video hosting sites), promoting the TeaPartay.com site. The video heavily exploits the preppie theme: it contains the song perfomed by so-called Prep Unit (P-Unit) band, performing in a style called prepsta (a pun on gangsta hip-hop style). The song contains the references to WASP lifestyle, one of which is holding a tea party (tea partay). The video widely spread in Internet, gaining more than 2.5 million views[2] (by April 2007) on YouTube site only.









Truth be told, I did wear ties with Whales on them and wore Docksiders, at times. But deep down, in my heart, I always yearned to speak with a Baltimore Accent and go to Towson University, my Alma Mater, where I ranked 537th in my graduating class...



2.) According to Aimee, everyone in New England looks like Delores Claiborne.




Yes, just ask Bridget Moynahan, from Long Meadow Mass!



Anyway, I kid. But Aimee best heed the words "You Reap what you Sow" in case we ever live in Texas.

Popeye Commerical Guy must feel pain

This new Popeyes TV commercial makes me want to punch myself in the face. Horrible music, with a dancing goofball. I call him Dylan.

I wish I could reshoot the commercial but have him get tasered at the end, instead of him dancing like he's got African Fire Ants in his pants.

----------------------------------------- ----------



"Hello, I will be your featured idot for the duration of this commerical. Prepare yourself for a ration of total crap."

----------------------------------------------------------------




"I'll take care of everything. I'm a DANCER."


------------------------------------ ----------------------







"Oh, almost forgot. I also prostitue myself for Popeye's Chicken."

-------------------------------------------------------------------




=======================================================


Here the whole trainwreck in all its glory


Now, here's HOW a commerical is DONE....

It's Grillin Season

Mothers Day, Birthdays, Fathers Day, or any day..Grilling Season has arrived.








This year, I'm considering a severe upgrade in my outdoor backyard Grill.





The first contender is called "Big Junior" by Leonard Ricks of Buxton, Georgia.






"Big Junior" features the following:


  • 227,000 BTU Twin Turbine, duel modulator gas enclosures.

  • 237 square feet of cooking area. This grill once cooked lunch for the entire population of Guam.

  • Duel Titanium Restricter Plates, allowing it to withstand a Category 7 Tornado and a small nuclear attack.

  • 2009 Model Flux Capacitor, allowing Time Travel in five dimensions.

  • A roll-out Sleeper Sofa.

My other Contender is called "Entscheidender Grill" which is German for Crucial Barbeque.





Entscheidender Grill features:


  • Retractable Dance Floor.

  • A Polynesian Boy-Servant named Palo Palo Swims with the Sharks.

  • Machine gun turret



I have a very tough decision ahead. Wish me luck.

Gourmet Food, Martial Arts, and Pyromania

Whoa..























Careful!






Who is this guy?????








I don't know what made me think of it, but my buddy, the flameboyant chef came to mind.

You say “my buddy?” Yes, this is my encounter with greatness(or his). When I lived in New York City, I worked for a company that managed web sites. His web site was managed by the company. He would call around once a month, with questions about his site. He was/is one of those guys that when he calls, he’s in a rush, with like 17 things going on. Then, he’ll proceed to talk for the next 15 minutes about these things. Don’t get me wrong, I really liked talking to him and he was a very interesting fella. He even came to visit once when he was in NYC. So, if he came to where I worked, to say hi to me, I think that passes the buddy qualification.

So, where ever you are, Mark Atlas, hope you're doing well.

I'll keep a rockin if you keep a
burning and saute'ing, and Kung Fu Fighting. (the rockin reference is to a movie, I don' t say that in real life).

Randomness

Favorite Current TV Commercial







Question Mark Guy.


This Guy lives near us, in Montgomery County Maryland. His Name is Matthew Lesko. I was with Co-workers going to My Favorite Lunch Place BAJA FRESH (just plain awesome) and we see one of those Boxy Scions pull up but it's covered in question marks. I knew it was him because he is famous for his 'question mark' suit.


Matthew Lesko (born 1943) is an American author and late-night television personality who has authored reference books telling people about how to get "free" money from the United States Government. He is popularly known as "that question mark guy" for the Riddler-like suit that he wears in his television commercials, infomercials, interviews, and in everyday use.





What a goofball...





Then, there's Stuart:

Stuart Larkin, arguably the most recognized character from MADtv, is a hyperactive and possibly autistic little boy played by Michael McDonald. He is almost always accompanied by his supposedly borderline alcoholic mother, Doreen, who scolds him for his various acts of childhood mischief. For example, he is often seen eating different junk foods, and when his mother inquires about them, he simply replies that he found them on the floor. His face is pale, and he often stares vacantly at nothing, possibly because of constantly-hinted-at childhood traumas, such as his dad leaving them. He hates going to his dad's house. Once, he said to his mother, "Mommy, Daddy called," and his mother, quavering, replies, "What did he say?" and Stuart replies, "He said he's glad to be out of this hellhole."
