Struttin' That Ass!

You may remember that a while ago, I presented Antoine Dodson & The Bed Intruder Song. Well, here's a similar song (discovered via Rootade Designs), this time with the outrage coming from a white, probably Republican, possibly-drunk, Southern gent.

In the original footage, this fellow seems irrationally angered because, besides the interviewer and trendies in general (this must date from 2000 or so), then-U.S. president Bill Clinton seems to have been reported by the media to be doing exercise and didn't have to burn his calories like ordinary, working folk.

The modern retelling of this story is:

Struttin' That Ass!

Oh, there's simmering rage, the seeds of the nihilistic Tea Party, the story of a generation of "other" Americans, so much implied by this video - I love it.

Women And Beer Advertising

As some of my readers may know, I'm quite a fan of beer advertising - big budget, great editing etc. as well as the occasional cute girl etc.

See:  My Favorite Beer Ads 1 - 5  &  6 - 10

Still, Erin Gibson, from U.S. satirical current affairs show, Infomania, makes a fair point that perhaps the role of women in beer commercials may have changed over the last 20 years or so.

The Peekaboo Pole Dancing Kit

The Peekaboo Pole Dancing Kit - now every girl can be a pole dancer. This video is a great 1960s send-up ad for a genuine product from the UK. Mind you, the pole doesn't look like it could hold her, never mind the average plus-sizer! 

"The narrator sound like the creepiest f**k ever" Youtube member garka

"The announcer sounds like Dr. Evil!" Youtube member akas1255

"Anyone else notice that pole bucking and deforming as she was swinging around on it?" Youtube member BudgetBachelorChow

The Peekaboo Pole Dancing Kit

My highlights include:

0.35    "Er-r-r-r-ecting your pole"

1.17    "Parents - not so good."

2.05    "That's cheeky!"

2.18   "Woop-a-daisy!"

2.43   "Girl not included!"

Nice!

The follow-up is that some considered the Peekaboo Pole Dancing kit to have been marketed as a toy, which outraged Britain's mum's and dads. The Daily Mail, my favorite paper for the outraged, reported that "Dr Adrian Rogers, of family campaigning group Family Focus said yesterday that the kit would destroy children's lives...Children are being encouraged to dance round a pole which is interpreted in the adult world as a phallic symbol."

Uh-oh!

The Coledale Coast Walk, NSW, Australia: The Birdlife

I've published the fourth biographical installment of my Coledale series at Qondio:

It contains lots of pretty pictures and links to several bird videos, too. Check it out!

Remembering Liam Lynch's United States Of Whatever

It seems that its mostly only folks from the U.K. and Australia who would have any memory of Liam Lynch's United States Of Whatever.

It's a post-modern/comic/post-punk/grunge-type thing that some people might class as a song. Whatever it is, it's damn fine and if you've never caught it, you should!

Liam Lynch: United States Of Whatever

By the way, Mr. Lynch is an interesting character and his link is worth following, including the nugget that he was in the first batch of students at Paul McCartney's Liverpool Institute For Performing Arts.

Whatever!

And The Answer Is?

I found this video while researching "Youtube Stars".

And The Answer Is?

And the answer is?

N.B.: The original,  What What, In The Butt was a pretty boring  gay sub-funk workout, which was boosted enormously in popularity when South Park used it for a segment.

Up & Over It: Irish Hand Dancing - We No Speak Americano

So you thought the whole Riverdance thing was over! Well, you ain't seen nuthin' yet!

You'll probably see this on the news tonight but in case you don't, be warned - Irish Hand Dancing is here:

Up & Over It: Irish Hand Dancing - We No Speak Americano

The We No Speak Americano routine was performed and choreographed by Suzanne Cleary & Peter Harding, who perform as Up And Over It.

Stop Press: CHEAP VIAGRA!!!!!!!!!!

Until the opportunity *arose*, I hadn't realized how *hard* it has been to write a *post* that sent *up* the CHEAP VIAGRA!!!!!!!!!! SPAM that keeps *finding its way* into my mail *box*.

However, England's Sunday tabloid, The News Of The World provided me with the *opening* that I was looking for. It seems that Tesco - one of the UK's *biggest* supermarket chains - is about to start selling CHEAP VIAGRA!!!!!!!!!! Trust me, the article is genuinely interesting and contains some great puns.

 Viagra Games

Mind you, Tesco should beware, I'm sure that other supermarket chains *won't take this lying down* and will offer some *stiff* opposition!!!!!!!!!!


"What size tablet will they sell?
The 100mg can be cut in half so you get more bang for your buck..so to speak!"

What Do Women Like?

I created a new Squidoo lens yesterday:

What Do Women Like?

It's a frivolous 3-part quiz on what women want in a man. The three very important questions that I'm asking are:

1. Should a man shave
2. Should a man be able to dance &
3. Should a man be a decent wage earner?

Riveting stuff, eh?

Actually, it's reasonably interesting - all part of my huge SEO experiment - and I may even add more questions in the future!

I've Just Found Out About The Three Wolf Moon Shirt!

Much of my work these days is studying how the internet creates phenomena. However, I missed The Three Wolf Moon Shirt, as it was mainly confined to the USA.

Here's the guts of it:

Tacky t-shirt receives a witty comment by an Amazon reviewer, law student Brian Govern:

"Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women" but "cannot see wolves with arms crossed"*.

which is funny enough to start a (college?) sensation.

The Three Wolf Moon Shirt!

"I stopped wearing mine, I couldn't handle all the women flocking towards me." Youtube member nutsludge

"Behold - the power of the internet!" Youtube member boydegg

"That is freakin' epic." Youtube member PvtGermanWagz


* Brian Govern's full review:

"This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that's when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that the shirt would properly cover my girth, I walked from my trailer to Wal-mart with the shirt on and was immediately approached by women. The women knew from the wolves on my shirt that I, like a wolf, am a mysterious loner who knows how to 'howl at the moon' from time to time (if you catch my drift!). The women that approached me wanted to know if I would be their boyfriend and/or give them money for something they called mehth. I told them no, because they didn't have enough teeth, and frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn't settle for the first thing that comes to him.


I arrived at Wal-mart, mounted my courtesy-scooter (walking is such a drag!) sitting side saddle so that my wolves would show. While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants and flip-flops standing there. She told me she liked the wolves on my shirt, I told her I wanted to howl at her moon. She offered me a swig from her mountain dew, and I drove my scooter, with her shuffling along side out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you wolf shirt.


Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women

Cons: Only 3 wolves (could probably use a few more on the 'guns'), cannot see wolves when sitting with arms crossed, wolves would have been better if they glowed in the dark." Amazon

The BBC develops the three Moon wolf story considerably.

I've recently added the third installment to my autobiographical Coledale series:

The Coledale Coast Walk, NSW, Australia: The Elements

Check it out.

Incidentally, this series has been published on Qondio as part of a successful SEO experiment with both the first two installments already ranking well in Google within a few weeks:

• Installment 1 The Coledale Caravan Park is # 1 for the "Coledale Caravan Park, Australia"  search term, while

• Installment 2 The Coledale Coast Walk, NSW, Australia: The People is # 2 for  "Coledale Caravan Park, Australia" and # 20 for "Coledale, Australia"

How is that achieved?

Well, quite simply because Qondio's "members" comment on your post and that's your opportunity to "grow" the articles with all sorts of related search terms. Qondio is well worth getting into if you know what you're doing.

The Boston Typewriter Orchestra

With the furious advance of the p.c. in the 1990s, typewriters have all but disappeared. However, a few enthusiasts are keeping those grand machines alive, finding a new use for them. 

Steve Garfield reports:

I predict that a small number of young men will be heading towards thrift shops at this very moment.

Deal: Two Pizza Records For The Price Of One

You can't say that I don't do my utmost to bring you the most important videos on the internet! What I have for you is two pizza world records from CBS's The Early Show, from June 2008.

The first segment features Denis Tran, who works for Dominos and has developed his skills by making pizzas for The White House. He makes 3 pizzas in 40 seconds.

The second act is punk rocker, Pat Bertoletti, who eats 17 slices of pizza in 5 minutes. 

Amazing.

Arguably The World's Best-ever Vox-pop

First spied on Archie Archive, this vox-pop, recorded by WJLA channel 7 in Washington D.C., USA, I gather - is outrageous!

The journalist poses a pleasant, light question, hoping for a few seconds of Washington cheer for the wintery Weather segment in the news. The answer he gets - if it wasn't staged - is not quite what he was expecting.

Heavy Metal Monk Hangs Up His Leather Cassock

All Bow To The Mighty Mullet

There's something about mullets that's beyond words.

Growing out of the Sixties in which there was a general explosion of excessive male hair growth, the mullet arguably made its first serious fashion appearance in the early Seventies. My first recollection of one is in 1973 with Paul McCartney in the Red Rose Speedway era but there may have been earlier ones.

Paul & Linda McCartney: Dueling Mullets

Receiving Band On The Run Gold Disc

Now, a good 35 years later, the mullet is still going strong, still - some might say - swimming against the current of fashion.

N.B.: This video has been provided by the wonderful, hair-mulleted folks at Rate My Mullet!

Chem-trails are devastating mullet stocks - they are dying out. It's a mullet holocaust out there and nobody's doing a damn thing about it."

Cast Your Vote In The Ultimate Coffee Battle

I finished off another Squidoo lens last night - this one has been a few days in the making and it's my first DUEL:

The Ultimate Coffee Battle - Cappuccino -v- Latte

The idea is that you go there and have your say - it's just a piece of fun but it's got some nice pictures and a pretty interesting coffee quiz.

I've Been Up All Night, Again!

Yes, I was up all night finishing off a new page on Squidoo. It's got some great pictures and I quite like it:
