Zlad!

This has to be the funniest and the worst music video I've ever seen.  Mullet wearing Zladko "Zlad!" Vladcik (fictional), from Molvania (equally fictional), is a bit over the top with his Slavic accent, grammatical errors and silver spacesuit.  In this particular selection, he is supported by a pink-haired, sunglasses wearing keytarist.  Obviously low budget, the lyrics and the video effects are just as puzzling as Zlad! himself.    

Hey baby, wake up from your asleep
We have arrived onto the future
And the whole world is become
Elecktronik. Supersonik. Supersonik. Elecktronik

Even Super Heros Take The Day Off

Yes, my life as Fancy Lasered Jones has been me very busy these days. So much so that I've decided to take the day off. Trust me, it's not easy being in so many different places at once. The citizens of Cheesy City will just have to fend for themselves today.  Not to worry, I'll be back.....
   

While I'm away, I think you'll all enjoy creating your own Super Hero persona over at The Hero Factory. Many thanks to a couple of members of my Super Hero League, Unfinished Rambler and OMyWord!, for their inspiration.

Wacky Wednesday! - Nazi Donald Duck

Recently, I’ve been pulling ideas for my posts from the 1940’s. Not that I intended to develop a theme, but I love it when a plan comes together. It’s Wacky Wednesday!; however, the idea behind this short film is not a wacky one, I just happened to really enjoy this cartoon and the message it delivers. I hope you will too. 

Starring Donald Duck, der Fuehrer's Face is a 1943 animated cartoon by the Walt Disney Studios. It was released as an anti-Nazi propaganda piece for the American war effort. Not only did this film win the 1943 Academy Award for Animated Short Film, it was also voted #22 of the 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time by members of the animation field.

This wartime cartoon was directed by Jack Kinney and features the hit song de Fuehrer’s Face written by Oliver Wallace and performed by Spike Jones and his City Slickers (reference: Cocktails for Two).

It has been said; Disney kept der Fuehrer's Face out of general circulation since its original release until it finally received an official U.S. video release in 2004. The reason for this was the propagandistic nature of the short and the depiction of Donald Duck as a Nazi (albeit a reluctant one).

During World War II, film audiences were looking for brasher, edgier cartoon characters. And, I believe, Disney delivered.

International Mirth Day?


Tuesday, March 24th is International Mirth Day.  What is International Mirth Day you may ask?  Chances are, you won't be able to find a card at your local Hallmark shop that commemorates the day.  So, let’s explore the meaning of the word “mirth” shall we?  Source: Dictionary.com

mirth [murth] 

–noun

  1. gaiety or jollity, esp. when accompanied by laughter: the excitement and mirth of the holiday season.
  2. amusement or laughter: He was unable to conceal his mirth

Origin: 
bef. 900; ME mirthe, OE myrgth.  

mirthless, adjectiveSynonyms:

1, 2. Mirth, glee, hilarity, merriment, jollity, joviality refer to the gaiety characterizing people who are enjoying the companionship of others. Mirth suggests spontaneous amusement or gaiety, manifested briefly in laughter: uncontrolled outbursts of mirth. Glee suggests an effervescence of high spirits or exultation, often manifested in playful or ecstatic gestures; it may apply also to a malicious rejoicing over mishaps to others: glee over the failure of a rival. Hilarity implies noisy and boisterous mirth, often exceeding the limits of reason or propriety: hilarity aroused by practical jokes. Merriment suggests fun, good spirits, and good nature rather than the kind of wit and sometimes artificial fun making that cause hilarity: The house resounded with music and sounds of merriment. Jollity and joviality may refer either to a general atmosphere of mirthful festivity or to the corresponding traits of individuals. Jollity implies an atmosphere of easy and convivial gaiety, a more hearty merriment or a less boisterous hilarity: The holiday was a time of jollity. Joviality implies a more mellow merriment generated by people who are hearty, generous, benevolent, and high-spirited: the joviality of warm-hearted friends. 

Antonyms:
1. gloom.

Now that we, hopefully, have a better understanding of the word, we need to take full advantage of this day and spread the mirth.

Please feel free to peruse my archives, located in the side bar, for the many, many posts that include mirth, glee, hilarity, merriment jollity and joviality.

Spike Jones - Cocktails For Two


Spike Jones was a bandleader way ahead of his time. His satirical arrangements of popular songs included ridiculous vocals, gunshots, whistles and cowbells.  Yes, cowbells!  This particular video has all those elements plus an added bonus of cross-dressing.  Sit back and enjoy Spike's 1945 version of "Cocktails for Two".

Yikes! Mullet Spotting!

Say it isn’t so.  Contrary to popular belief, the Mullet is not dead, no siree.  I’ve recently come to realize there is a popular uprising in men’s desire to bring back this once popular hair-don’t from the 80’s.  I’ve had many a Mullet spotting over the past several months and it’s scary, real scary.

 


With its two-haircut-in-one appearance and popularity with the good times set, the mullet is occasionally referred to as having "business in the front and a party in the back." Frightening, the Mullet is more than a way of life, it’s a state of mind. Accessories for the mullet often include moustaches, wife-beater shirts, beer and sunglasses.

Listed here are several popular spotting places you will find this hideous bi-level cut.
1. WalMart
2. Alabama
3. NASCAR Races
4. CMT's My Big Fat Redneck Wedding
5. Lynyrd Skynyrd Concerts ("Freebird! Freebird!")


I say, wearing a Mullet makes any man look like a complete idiot. Get yourself to a barber and cut that stupid looking thing. By cutting your Mullet, you will instantly look less poor and way more intelligent.  No more looking like a freak of nature.

Wacky Wednesday! - Gymkhana

This week's installment of Wacky Wednesday! involves the motorsport of Gymkhana. Similar to autocross, Gymkhana courses are often very complex and memorizing the course is a significant part of achieving a fast time. Yeow! 

Drivers must be in the zone 100% when they are driving. The drivers goals is to get through the course as fast a possible with the least amount of mistakes. Acceleration, braking, drifting and grip driving are all necessary for Gymkhana. Not only do they have to hold control over his/her own car, but Gymkhana requires strong mental concentration and memorization. Insane!


Ken Block, featured in this video, is a professional driver and performs reversals, 180 degree spins, 360 degree spins, parking boxes, figure 8s and other advanced skillsPlease, do not attempt this with the family vehicle in the church parking lot.

Quotable: St. Patrick's Day

Click on the poster for a closer look

  1. May the Good Lord take a liking to you... but not too soon!
  1. Saint Patrick was a gentleman
    Who through strategy and stealth
    Drove all the snakes from
    Ireland
    Here's a drinkee to his health!
    But not too many drinkees
    Lest we lose ourselves and then...
    Forget the good Saint Patrick
    And see them snakes again!
  1. Why should you never iron a 4-leaf clover? You don't want to press your luck.
  1. There are many good reasons for drinking,
    One has just entered my head.
    If a man doesn't drink when he's living,
    How in the hell can he drink when he's dead?
  1. An Irishman is never drunk as long as he can hold onto one blade of grass to keep from falling off the earth.
  1. Here’s to a long life and a merry one.
    A quick death and an easy one
    A pretty girl and an honest one
    A cold beer – and another one!
  1. There are only two kinds of people in the world, The Irish and those who wish they were.

World's Hottest Pepper Eater

The video below begs the question - why would anyone knowingly attempt to eat this pepper?

The Bhut Jalokia has been confirmed by Guinness Book of World Records to be the hottest pepper in the world. One seed from a Bhut Jolokia can produce sustained intense pain sensations in the mouth for up to 30 minutes before subsiding.  Oddly enough, it is used as a cure for stomach ailments.  


Watch closely as Gavin documents his experience with eating this hotter than hot pepper.  The end result is truly shocking.

Freaky Brain Twister!!!


Follow these simple instructions and answer each question one at a time and as quickly as you can!   



THINK of a number from 1 to 10 




MULTIPLY that number by 9 



If the number is a 2-digit number, ADD the digits together 



Now SUBTRACT 5 



DETERMINE which letter in the alphabet corresponds to the number you ended up with (example: 1=a, 2=b, 3=c,etc.) 



THINK of a country that starts with that letter 



REMEMBER the last letter of the name of that country 



THINK of the name of an animal that starts with that letter 



REMEMBER the last letter in the name of that animal 




THINK of the name of a fruit that starts with that letter 





Are you thinking of a Kangaroo in Denmark eating an Orange? 


FREAKY!?! If not for you, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are different enough to think of something else. However, 98% of people will answer with kangaroos in Denmark eating oranges when given this exercise.

Quotable: Timothy Leary


  1. Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.
  1. I've left specific instructions that I do not want to be brought back during a Republican administration. 
  1. If you don't like what you're doing, you can always pick up your needle and move to another groove. 
  1. There are three side effects of acid: enhanced long-term memory, decreased short-term memory, and I forget the third.
  1. Think for yourself and question authority. 
  1. My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out. 
  1. Civilization is unbearable, but it is less unbearable at the top. 
  1. The universe is an intelligence test. 
  1. You're only as young as the last time you changed your mind.
  1. Science is all metaphor. 
  1. People use the word "natural" ... What is natural to me is these botanical   species which interact directly with the nervous system. What I consider artificial is 4 years at Harvard, and the Bible, and Saint Patrick's cathedral, and the sunday school teachings.
  1. If you want to change the way people respond to you, change the way you respond to people.
  1. "Drop Out" meant self-reliance, a discovery of one's singularity, a commitment to mobility, choice, and change. Unhappily my explanations of this sequence of personal development were often misinterpreted to mean "Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity."
  1. We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history.  They've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.
  1. The mark of a basic shit is that he can’t mind his own business.

  1. Pretend to make a call, “Hello, Psychic Hotline?  Can you tell me what floor I’m on?”

Joke: Catholic School Daze

Little Mary Margaret was not the best student in Catholic School. Usually, she slept through the class. One day the teacher called on her while she was sleeping, "Tell me Mary Margaret, who created the universe?" When Mary Margaret didn't stir, little Johnny who was her friend sitting behind her, took his pencil and jabbed her in the rear. "God Almighty!" shouted Mary Margaret. 

The teacher said, "Very good" and continued teaching the class. A little later the nun asked Mary Margaret, "Who is our Lord and savior?" But she didn't stir from her slumber. Once again, little Johnny came to her rescue and stuck Mary Margaret in the butt. "Jesus Christ!" shouted Mary Margaret and the teacher once again said "very good and Mary Margaret fell back to sleep. 

The teacher asked her a third question, "What did Eve say to Adam after she had her tenth child?" Again, Johnny to the rescue. This time Mary Margaret jumped up and shouted, "if you stick me with that damn thing one more time - I'll break it in half!" The nun fainted.

I'm Crazy, Are You?

Here's to the Crazy Ones

Here's to the crazy ones.
The misfits. The rebels.
The troublemakers. The round
pegs in the square holes - the
ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules and
they have no respect for
the status quo. You can praise
them, disagree with them,
quote them, disbelieve them,
glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing that you
can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.


- Steve Jobs
