Tom Waits - I Don’t Want To Grow Up

Tomorrow is a King-Sized Drag

The Language of Viagra — Translated!

A friend of mine came over a while ago and said that he had subtitled these annoying Viagra ads. The problem was the web site that let him do the subtitling, didn’t allow him to put the video on YouTube.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t really help him. But in the meantime, my video editing skills have improved. So with the power of windows movie maker at my fingertips, I invited him down to rip the original off YouTube, and do some video magic.

I knew his earlier versions were quite crude, so we didn’t sway much from his original vision of quite a disgusting little chat between old pals.

The end result — while I’m sure could easily be topped on a crudeness scale, but will still be offensive to some — actually turned out not bad.

Hope you enjoy!

Mailer goes apeshit

RIP Norman. Your wrote well, and were undoubtedly one of the craziest motherfuckers to achieve mainstream literary success.

I remember reading about his bizarre semi-autobiographical movie Maidstone, and his fight with actor Rip Torn involving hammers and ear-biting. Now, of course, it’s just a YouTube query away:

Too lazy to be ambitious

Too lazy to be ambitious,
I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days’ worth of rice in my bag;
a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.
Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
Listening to the night rain on my roof,
I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.

Has it really come to this?

The Rolling Stones have created headlines by “defying smoking ban at arena gig.”

According to shocked, eye-witnesses:

Irritated security stewards could only look on as both (Ron and Keith) flouted the ban on smoking in enclosed public places.

One audience member said of the scene: “Richards looked around nonchalantly, lit up a fag and had it dangling from his mouth as he played a solo.

“He didn’t seem to care and kept smoking for at least five minutes.”

Shouldn’t Keith at least of had his dick hanging out while smoking for this to be news? I mean, the Rolling Stones smoke a cigarette on stage is worthy of headlines? Let’s chill out folks.

Have a drink. Relax.

Anyway, I love the fact that at most concerts these days it’s more acceptable to smoke pot than a cigarette. Guess I should be happy…

Larvae Take Up Residence on Man’s Head

He was a very considerate host:

Doctors thought the strange, bleeding bumps on Aaron Dallas’ head might be from gnat bites or shingles. Then the bumps started moving.

A doctor found five active bot fly larvae living beneath the skin atop Dallas’ head.

‘I’d put my hand back there and feel them moving. I thought it was blood coursing through my head,’ Dallas told the (Glenwood Springs) Post Independent.

‘I could hear them. I actually thought I was going crazy.’

‘When I saw him again, it was pretty obvious something else was going on,’ said Dr. Kimball Spence, who could see the spots moving on Dallas’ head. ‘There’s an open pit. You see a little activity, not necessarily the larvae, but a fluctuation of the fluid in the pit.’

[Dallas’ wife, Midge Dallas] told him, ‘I will love you through your maggots,'’ she told the newspaper.

Sometimes propaganda is the best place to find the truth…

This announced yesterday on the Voice of America website:

President Bush has signed an order that allows the U.S. government to block the assets of any person or group that threatens the stability of Iraq.

The order exempts the United States.

As Juan Cole notes, “Either the VOA copy writer is a little clueless or this person has a wicked, dry sense of humor.”
