Share Led Zeppelin One of their best shows ever Happy Sunday, Youdopia. I offer you one of the best Led Zeppelin shows ever, in excellent quality. There are so many sources for this show, you can read about it for hours. This version is my favorite, and it’s complete, with any gaps in the source [...]
Share This is pretty funny, Youdopia. It’s one post, but it covers a lot of ground. I’m assuming you’ve seen This Is Spinal Tap. If not, I suggest you enjoy some lovely lolcats. Ok. Now everyone has seen Spinal Tap, and knows the whole Stonehenge bit. Well, some people think that it’s based on Led [...]
Share see more Lolcats and crime scene pictures My dear Youdopia, I give you a (get ready to laugh) a Saturday Evening Post. Get it? Yeah, sorry. Here is a lolcat. I hope my humor humors your humors.
Share Something neat happened recently, Youdopia. Someone came across some fantastic 8mm footage of Led Zeppelin, playing Greensboro, NC on 5/31/77 (Bonzo’s 29th birthday). I am not usually a fan of 8mm silent footage, because unless your last name starts with a Z, and you’re from Dallas, your film is going to suck. What makes [...]
Share Youdopia, I really enjoy Cracked.com. Don’t associate it with the Mad Magazine also ran, even though that’s who it is. They’ve completely reinvented themselves and are very Web 2.0. I prefer them to the Onion, which … hasn’t reinvented itself. The humor is top notch, and there is a ton of content being added. [...]
Share I want to share an article I read, Youdopia. It is about how the Einsteinian axiom, “God does not play dice with the universe.” seems to be completely untrue. I won’t waste your time trying to summarize something that is innately profound, so I’ll give you a teaser quote, and a link to the [...]
Share I love the moon Enceladus, Youdopia. I love it because it orbits Saturn, the prettiest planet, although Neptune is breathtaking (no thank you. I don’t want to see your Uranus) and… Enceladus may very well have life. Enceladus shoots plumes of liquid water vapor, along with hydrocarbons (organic material) from its surface. There is [...]
Share Ok. The LOST Finale was, in my opinion, just fine, Youdopia. Very emotional, stirring, and it was an end. I was completely satisfied with the end of Lost, but many people were not. Surprise! Television writers don’t create complete mythologies. There were one or two threads that didn’t get resolved completely, and maybe a [...]
Share I’m going to reference this one for awhile, youdopia. I saw it on Very Demotivational, last night, and I had to share it with you. I laughed and laughed and laughed. I hope you share my sense of humor. It’s not that the “poster” is funny, so much as the actual picture of the [...]
Share This lolcat picture is to make up for my last post. For you see, Youdopia, ours is the middle path, with the occasional wobble, and since the last post was creepy, this one is cute. Humor uber alles, motherfuckers. Eat a cheezburger.
Share I Want Your Soul Richard D. James Is Brilliant & Creepy In the summer of 1999, I was introduced to the electronic music of Aphex Twin. It was a hell of a summer. So many great stories I can’t tell, you… dopia. . Let’s just call it the summer of dilated pupils. Anyway, you [...]
ShareCamper Van Beethoven All Hail David Lowery This song may be the best song of the last twenty years. Camper Van Beethoven released All Her Favorite Fruit in 1989. It’s amazing. David Lowery hit a streak of genius and it lead to Key Lime Pie, the album on which All Her Favorite Fruit was released. [...]
Share Youdopia, this is a little off message for this blog, I know. However, this is a testimonial from a believer, Hallelujah, I am saved! I hate replacing razor blades. They cost a fucking fortune, and I have two women and myself to keep shorn. So when I saw this video, I was intrigued. I [...]
Share Yes, Youdopia, I watch LOST. I know every flaw, every wrinkle, the overacting, I know. I watch it, and I’ll watch the LOST finale. I didn’t watch it from the beginning. I watched seasons 1 through 4 last summer, and then jumped onboard with Season 5. Anyway, I saw this pie chart on Laughing [...]
Share Led Zeppelin is a passion of mine, as I’m sure you know, Youdopia. I have been a fan for almost 30 years now. John Bonham is one of the main reasons Led Zeppelin has maintained such prominence in the pantheon, three decades after his demise. He is arguably the best rock drummer ever. That’s [...]
Share Happy Friday, Youdopia. In honor of Viernes es el dia mejor, I want to share this little joy with you. Today (5.21.10) is the 30th Anniversary of Pac Man. In honor of this momentous occasion, the demons at Google have made their logo into a playable Pac Man game. It’s for today only, although [...]
Share Happy Day of Thor, Youdopia. Feel like you’ve been hit with a hammer? This will make 1% of you chuckle. Geek humor at its finest from XKCD. The gist of the joke is that it’s the geek equivalent of the old horror story that ends with, “The calls are coming from inside the house!” [...]
Share Meet Dale Peterson, Youdopia. He is a conservative Republican, running for office in Alabama. This man has made a campaign commercial so over the top, that Chuck Norris called him “too butch.” His commercial is so…stereotypically Southern, Christian, Manly, Conservative that if you watch the parody made by Funny or Die, you’ll notice it’s [...]
Share It’s a rainy Tuesday here in Youdopia. Since I’m in delta blues country, I figure I’d show a little of the heartwood of American music. Robert Johnson is a legend, deservedly so in my opinion. Almost every song he recorded has been redone, and is famous. Crossroads, Terraplane Blues (Trampled Underfoot), Love In Vain, [...]
