Pretty funny, but not creepy enough. I’d get much darker with it, and still get the girl.

A Truly Amazing Musician
A Drummer’s Drummer
This is a sad video, but one I’d not seen before. It was recently discovered and posted in the forums of my favorite Led Zeppelin site, Royal Orleans.
There’s not really any good footage of band members, although you can see a bunch of people file past the hearse, as Bonzo’s casket is being loaded. The service itself was said to be heart wrenching, with people wailing and sobbing, as one would expect.
John Bonham was only 32 when he died. That’s 13 years younger than I am now. It’s a tragedy to his young family, his poor widow, and his parents and siblings.
This footage pushes that point home to me, much more so than the “death of a rock god”
Add salsa or lime juice if you want. I don’t give a fuck.
Eat Like You Give A Fuck
ThugKitchen.com
I came across this on Tumblr, where I’m 3 times the age of the average user, yay. Thug Kitchen is a vegan recipe site that’s not all uppity and smug about being vegan. “Eat Like You Give A Fuck” is their motto. Love it.
The information is awesome, the recipes are hilarious, and if you want to keep your shit intact, son, you best listen. (see below about how lycopene helps prevent dick cancer. It’s the Coolest Shit Ever.
You ever get worried about dick cancer?
While Filming A Cooking Show
Craziest Thing Ever
I have a great deal of love for Ginger Baker. There’s a movie out about him, and apparently, he’s a super duper asshole, but I don’t care. I’m never going to meet him and it has no impact on my appreciation of his amazing drumming.
At some point in the early 1990′s, someone decided to film a cooking show called Rock n Roll Kitchen. To film the pilot they chose, incomprehensibly, Ginger Baker to be their rock star guest. It’s the craziest thing ever.
While the host is called aside for some notes from the director, someone walks up to Ginger and asks him for rolling papers. Rather than being taken aback, he asks if the young man will be rolling a joint, to which the young man answers in the affirmative. Then Ginger looks for his cigarette pack, in which (one assumes) he keeps his rolling papers.
It’s a short clip, it’s weird, and aside from the rolling papers bit, we find out that Ginger Baker knows how to say ‘halibut’ in Swedish. Enjoy.
Recently Discovered Video
Found At A Yard Sale
This really is the coolest thing ever.
Robert Anton Wilson, of whom I’ve written so many times he has a category on my blog, gave this talk somewhere 1988ish. It was recorded and distributed on VHS tape, presumably by the organization that held this get together, but never made it to the digital realm, at least publicly. The uploader of this unexpected gem bought the tape at a garage sale, and was good enough to convert and upload this wonderful talk.
For almost 2 hours (there’s some bullshit bookending the talk itself) Robert Anton Wilson, he of Masks of the Illuminati and Prometheus Rising, speaks about the connections between the Vatican Bank, the CIA, and the illicit cocaine business. It’s absolutely fascinating. All your favorites are here. The Knights of Malta, International Banking, Nazis, the CIA, P2, Grand Orient Lodge, masonic murders, the mafia, and of course billions of 1970/80′s dollars in cocaine/heroin money.. all laundered through a network set up, and run, by the Vatican bank.
This is a treat and a half because until recently, no one knew it existed. So, enjoy!
Ingenue by Atoms For Peace Is The Coolest Thing Ever

Horrible Artwork. Great Album
Thom Yorke & Flea (and two others)
In A Band That Sounds Nothing Like Radiohead Or The Chili Peppers
My wife is a bit of a Radiohead fan. She’s particularly enamoured of Jonny Greenwood, but her love extends to Thom Yorke and his new band, Atoms For Peace.
I really love this song, Ingenue, and the video. I think it’s the coolest thing ever, and I hope you do as well.
Funniest Thing Ever: Patrice O’Neal HBO One Night Stand
26 Feb, 2013 in fnord, funniest shit ever, humor
Watch The Whole Show
RIP To A Great Talent
Y’all know I love me some Patrice O’Neal. I’ve posted his material before. I fell in love with comedy of Patrice O’Neal watching him on the Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen, and from then on, I was a fan.
This video is about a half hour long, and worth the time. Enjoy it. I think it’s the funniest thing ever.
I think it’s his posture. It conveys fatigue.
Seated Boxer by Lyssipus of Sikyon
Alexander The Great’s Personal Sculptor
I saw this on Pinterest and instantly was transfixed. No, not because I can see his dong, but thanks. The entire piece conveys weariness, rest, and also, readiness to go back for more. His ear is even cauliflowered.
Lyssipus of Sikyon was a legendary sculptor from the 3rd Century, BCE. He is the guy who sculpted the four horses of Florence (stolen by Crusaders from the hippodrome in Constantinople). Read about him here. It’s the coolest thing ever.
Rappin’ For Jesus – Old White Southerners Connect With The Youth
12 Feb, 2013 in fnord, funniest shit ever, humor
If You’ve Ever Spent Time In The South
This Will Not Be Surprising At All
The liberal use of the n word is jawdropping. The pastor of this lovely Southern church decided to reach out to “the kids” and connect with them through their Urban music. Ok, points for earnestness, but minus several million for execution. Still, the complete wrongness of it all makes it the funniest thing ever.
So we must all ask ourselves, is Jesus my nigga?
Go Home, Dog. You’re Drunk
This is just one of the myriad treasures you can see on my Tumblr, which has a thousand times more content, because it’s easy as fuck to use, and takes two seconds to post something.
Watch/Listen To Radiohead’s Reckoner From The Basement
12 Jan, 2013 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, music
Radiohead Live From The Basement
Because We Separate Like Ripples On A Blank Shore
(In Rainbows)
There are few bands that have grown and matured as well as Radiohead. It’s been 20 years since Creep, and almost every album they’ve released has been a new direction, and sound. Kid A is mindblowing still, 13 years after it’s release. Ok Computer is 16 years old and still works as a masterpiece of rock.
In Rainbows is now 5 years old, and it just now has hooked me. It’s sophisticated, mature, and complex as hell. As with all good bands, they’re much better live, and I prefer the From The Basement live performance of In Rainbows, to the studio album.
This song, Reckoner, is absolutely lush, gorgeous, and an aural pleasure for all ears. The subtle groove is insane. I’ve never grooved on a tamborine before, but Ed O’Brien’s entrance at the 3 minute mark is sheer perfection. Every member is great at their instrument, and many others. Colin, Ed, and Jonny all play percussion when not playing their primary instruments. At the end of the song, you can see Jonny move from guitar, to keyboards smoothly, and every beat that he’s not playing the keyboard, he’s shaking a shaker (shaped like a lemon. yesterday i woke up sucking a lemon… get it?). In an age when digital can replicate anything, it’s refreshing as hell to see musicians playing music.
Add on to that Thom Yorke’s amazingly pure voice, and excellent musicianship with the SG, and you have an amazing band, playing an amazing song, amazingly well. Enjoy it. If you don’t like it the first time, let it soak for a bit, and go back again. It’s really, really, good. It’s the coolest thing ever.
Saturn’s Moon Has Rivers of Hydrocarbons
From The Cassini Probe
The European Space Agency has released some really cool pics of the surface of Saturn’s moon, Titan. That image is the first photo of a river system on another world. I love Cassini porn, as I’ve posted before, and I hope to live long enough to see the discovery of life elsewhere, be it microbial or giant monsters that eat us all. It’s all good, and it’s the coolest thing ever.
Drug People May Want To Look Away
Or not, depending on the drug
You never cross a Sugarbaker woman, because if you do, they roll their eyes back and let the demon take over. Holy Shit. This is a completely inadvertent find (meaning I found it myself and didn’t snatch it from another, funnier, blog). If you watch it and survive, you will live forever in the land of eternal summer. You laugh you lose.
This is from a yoga video made by the star of Designing Women, and spokeswoman for torticollis, Dixie Carter. The humor is quite juvenile, I admit, but watching her eyes roll back in her head as she does the Lion pose creeped me the fuck out. So I wanted to share it with you. It may not be the funniest thing ever, but it’s the creepiest.
I wonder if his name is Ausgustine
Get it? Is this thing on?
I haven’t been writing here much, but not because I’m not busy online. It is simply that it’s 1000x faster and easier to use Tumblr and Pinterest, both of which I use. I will put more love in the site soon. This is my busiest time of year for work, so I stick to the quick and easy.
If you miss me, follow my Tumblr and Pinterest. Danke. Enjoy the doodle.

Kliban is A Klever
Kartoonist from Kukamonga
Gotta love the comedy K’s. You also should love the insanely brilliant humor of B. Kliban, of whom I have written before. My favorite cartoon of his is right here. Good stuff. Enjoy the doodle.
Larry David and Palestinian Chicken Is The Funniest Thing Ever
3 Nov, 2012 in fnord, funniest shit ever, humor
“I’m Going To Fuck The Jew Out You” – Curb Your Enthusiasm – Season 8. Good stuff
If Rabin can break bread with Arafat
I can have chicken at this anti-semitic shithole
Curb Your Enthusiasm isn’t for everyone. Larry David can be offputting. My wife hates this show, although to be fair, it’s probably just because I like it. She’s like that.
This is an edit of all the clips following this plot point, in this episode. I don’t need to explain it. Watch it and hopefully you’ll laugh. If not, move along. I think it’s the funniest thing ever.
A Truly Great Book.
Graphic Novel Or Not
Rorschach, Ozymandias, and The Comedian Are Great Characters
Screw the sci fi aspect of it. Really. Dr. Manhattan is not even my top three favorite character in this work, and even then he’s still awesome. If you’ve seen the movie, read the book. That goes double for V for Vendetta. Watchmen
The character of Rorschach alone would make this book good. The Comedian has more layers than infinite baklava, and even though he’s a horrible person, he still has a soul, and a conscience. That can’t be said for (in my opinion)
Alan Moore deals with darkness without reveling in it, like a dog rolling in shit. He deals with light without getting Mr Rogers hair jelly rictus smiley about it. His female characters do more than just bitch, get captured, or simply be mouthy. The women are as completely fleshed out and developed as the men. That doesn’t happen much especially in comics… sorry.. graphic novels. Whatever, Alan Moore is an amazing writer, and you should read this book. Do it. This is a book I love.

La Trabendo Club
The Rolling Stones are back, and they seem to be pulling it off. The Stones have been around for 50 years. Can you believe that? Goddamn. I’ve posted some awesome live Stones video before, if you recall.
Mick, Keith, Charlie, and Ronnie, are performing a small handful of giant shows to celebrate the half century mark. In anticipation of those stadium shows, and following with Rolling Stones tradition, the band played an intimate club gig to 600 lucky people, in Paris. Here’s the setlist, and below that are a couple of videos from the gig. The first one I put up (from the Daily Mail) has already been disabled (fuckers). The Stones themselves released a minute of pro shot. It’s the coolest thing ever.
