A friend suggested this tonight, and lo and behold someone already made a YouTube video of the idea…
Congratulations, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, your lovely daughters, and Vice-President Biden and his wife Dr. Jill Biden. This is your day. And I think I speak for most of us when I say, our prayers are with you and we ask that the Lord will give you the wisdom and diligence that you will need in the days, months and years ahead....
How long has it been since I posted a classic Sesame Street clip? Especially one starring Bert and Ernie? Undoubtedly, not nearly often enough…
This sketch, which also features Herry Monster, is probably one of the few where Bert actually turns the tables on Ernie and gets the last laugh!
In 1986, CBS Television was presented with the following roughly-animated proposal for a new Peanuts holiday special. Apparently it was decided somewhere that Charles Schulz’s classic characters needed upgrading to become more timely and “Eighties” in order to “reinvigorate the franchise”. Network execs saw the proposal – a short film by Jim Reardon – and immediately and quietly chose to bury it within the CBS vault. More than twenty years later and thanks to YouTube, it has finally seen the light of day! Here is Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown…
(For the real story of Reardon and his hilarious short, mash down here.)...
Many times, I have been asked “What kind of town is Reidsville like?”
Something like this…
The first time I saw Hobo With A Shotgun was Butt-Numb-A-Thon 9 last year. This short has won a bunch of awards and is now on track to becoming an actual full-length movie! And it cracks me up every time I watch it š Shoot here for the official website....
“I am not qualified to land the plane.”
Okay, I can see how this one should be allowed to let slide. This is a pilot with thirty years of experience and of course he had landed plenty of times. It just happened that on this occasion he had to land in fog, which he didn’t have the proper training and clearance for with the type of aircraft that he was operating. The pilot absolutely did the right and professional thing by turning around.
But still, I thought that was too funny not to post š...

Last night at Woodmont United Methodist Church in Reidsville, we had the strike party for Theatre Guild of Rockingham County‘s production of Oliver Twist. Tony Hummel (who played Mr. Brownlow) brought his karaoke machine. And during the festivities I did something that I had been asked to do several times over the past few weeks, mostly from people who heard about what happened at the Children of Eden strike party in June.
So here it is: Yours Truly singing “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen…
And to think that all this time, George W. Bush thought that the Iraqis would throw flowers at his feet… not shoes at his head:
An Iraqi reporter threw his shoes at Bush during a press conference yesterday in Baghdad and called him a “dog”. In most Mid-East cultures, showing someone the soles of your shoes is considered the ultimate – and often mortal – insult.
You know what I can’t help but think about this incident? Theodore Roosevelt was once giving a speech and someone tried to assassinate him. The bullet hit something in Roosevelt’s chest pocket, didn’t penetrate his body at all. T.R. jumped off the podium and commenced to beating the living crap out of the assailant with his bare hands. Now how come “tough guy” George W. Bush didn’t do something like that yesterday?
George W. Bush, “Liberator of Iraq”, having to duck a shoe ...
What the hell is it with employees bathing in restaurant sinks lately? A few months ago it was “Mr. Unstable” who boneheadedly decided to post a video of himself cleansing in the sink at Burger King in Xenia, Ohio: a stunt that got not only himself but a bunch of others fired.
Now it’s the KFC in Anderson, California, where three female employees also took a bath in the sink normally used to clean utensils.
Two of the girls have been fired, and the other has already left on her own. They took several photos of themselves wearing swimsuits while carousing in the steaming-hot water (click here for more ‘cuz many of y’all will no doubt be interested anyway) and then posted them on Myspace in a gallery called “KFC Moments”.
I don’t know which is the more dumb: that they did this to begin with, or ...
Garfield and Friends rates with The Tick as having some of the most twisted humor done for a Saturday morning cartoon. Like this episode, where Garfield wakes up one morning and finds that he’s in the wrong cartoon! I love how the regular kind of Garfield and Friends animation gets mixed up with the futuristic Eighties-style for the Starwolf sequences. And then the Disney-ish look toward the end.
First airing on December 2nd 1989, here is “Invasion of the Big Robots”…
