The Scrabbled: Making Fun of Each Other since '99

My Mom is well known for having very kitschy parties, example: Las Vegas night in which her house in rural Virginia turns into a casino and everyone dresses like a Las Vegas tourist be it yokel or high roller… The most loved party is quickly approaching The Oscar party. She has a red carpet running down her hallway everyone dresses as if a movie star, we even honor each other with awards (one year while attending with a broken foot, my crutches got awarded for best supporting role, yuck yuck yuck) but the best part of the party…. Food parodies of nominated films.

So Hutch has been trying to sell us on this Final Fantasy guy for a pretty long time now.

I am convinced that nature has it out for me. Too many years of loudly proclaiming that when I am I homeowner, I’ll not do any of that boring-ass yard work like mowing and shoveling snow that my dad does. I’ll just pay kids to do it. It started three days before we moved in and mother nature was all, “Oh, you thought that sucked? Check this one out! More snow then you’ve gotten in the past 20 years!”

And not one damn kid has shown up yet offering to shovel.

Come summer, I fully expect a Day of the Triffids type scenario where all the grass starts growing at an exponential rate (as it seems everything does these days) and trying to eat me.

I think I’m just as amazed as you people probably are that I actually worked a solid 40 hours. More, if you count the time I spent on my portfolio. Read more for observed positives and negatives after one week.

So Alex just showed me this link:

Die Antwoord – Zef Side

And I just don’t understand what I’m seeing. I can’t tell if it’s real or if it’s a joke. I can’t tell if I love it or if it’s the worst thing I’ve ever heard. I thought that chick was a little girl for half the video, then I saw she had boobs. And then there’s that other video, Enter the Ninja, which is even more inexplicable.

I’m so fascinated by it, part of me doesn’t want to go look them up on wiki or anything to find out more. I sort of hope it’s real. Someone explain this to me.

More talented than Billy Corgan, with less ego to boot.

I figured I’d split this up. Mainly because I wanted everyone to know that I’d be up to my old postings again. What is with that guitar case?!

What’s with the episode title? Obviously it’s a play with the Los Angeles Airport abbreviation. But there is a space between the ‘A’ and ‘X’.

‘LA’ for the spanish feminine singular article ‘the’?
‘X’ for roman numeral ‘ten’?
The Ten? Who are the Ten? Am I even right?!

That white screen was a second to long if you ask me. Teasing us already!

First of all, I love any country where The Knife/Fever Ray win any sort of awards….

I’m surprised I haven’t seen any ranting by anyone (John) about this, the Supreme Courts decision to eliminate campaign finance laws, effectively freeing corporations, business interests, and labor unions to spend unlimited amounts of money on politicians and political ads.

Have you guys seen this.?

Any thoughts? I don’t have kids, but I really like it.

Does anyone here know of any online or print “zines” (i threw up a little typing that word)or music websites that’ll review a band’s CD? Anything to give my band some press? Everything I seem to find has to do with punk/hardcore.

we are not punk/hardcore.
