First off, a warning This video is extremely not safe for work. So don’t click that link if you are at work! The video is from Technical Virgin, but they no longer have their videos up on their site, which is a pity, as they were all quite good. They were well played spoofs of […]

A while back, Sars over at Tomato Nation wrote a nostalgic piece about being a giddy junior-high girl and the candies we all liked back in those days. Spree was the confection that had kicked off her train of nostalgia. Spree, as anyone between the ages of 25 and 35 may know, are these rather […]

In the course of browsing YouTube and Google Video for amusing videos, I watched quite a few of the chronicles of Morning Musume, including Ayaka’s Surprise English Lessons, a sketch in which Ayaka, a bilingual Musume member and leader of Coconuts Musume, would waylay the other girls in the studio with promises of treats if […]

I have been sucked into the minimoni abyss. (that link will take you to a very silly promotional for their singing group and cartoon). I suggest that you right-click the hyperlinks in this entry to open in separate windows. Anyway, Mini Moni. They were a splinter group from the Japanese girl-group collective known as Morning […]

I got invited to go nighttime trail riding. His wreck was Friday morning, when he was coming home. On Saturday afternoon, I went on the usual group ride with the Acme group, and they reminded me of an event I’d forgotten all about, the Full Moon ride out at the Lawrence River Trail. I hadn’t […]

I realized today that “I beg your pardon,” or even simply, “pardon?” is a genteel, slightly Victorian alternative for “Oh, you did not just say that, bitch!” You can get away with a great deal more snottiness if you talk like a Victorian socialite rather than a Jerry Springer guest.

Yes, I like boobs a lot! Why do you like boobs a lot? You gotta like boobs a lot.” What can I say? It’s The Fugs, off their first album, “The Village Fugs: The Fugs’ First Album.” Dating back to 1966, it’s sheer drug-addled folkish mayhem. Check out their official history. It is so totally […]
