Madness Madenned! Giant Prehistoric Whale Discovered
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010From the mixed up flies of Mrs. Rachel E. Hateball comes this tasty morsel:
I’m pretty sure I love everything about this: the discovery of a giant prehistoric sea-mammal. Naming it after Herman Melville, the author of Moby Dick. And of course, the fact that it was likely to perpetrate some serious fluke-on-fluke crime. Sort of like the Suge Knight of prehistoric whales.
Gangster.

Anyone Following South Carolina Politics?!
Friday, June 11th, 2010Yea, me neither! Although this post over at Videogum really makes me want to start.
It seems that Democrats are accusing the Republicans of planting this guy Alvin Greene to run for the primaries. Well he won, with 60% of the vote and now he is going up against the Republican Jim DeMint for the Senate seat. Good for him right? Wrong!
It seems like this guy has no history in politics, and seemingly from the interview above he didn’t even have a campaign. Watch the video of Alvin Greene last night on Countdown with Keith Olbermann. It’s super uncomfortable to say the least.

Do YOU Accept Eating Da Poo Poo?
Friday, June 4th, 2010This is from a documentary on Current TV called Missionaries of Hate profiling Uganda’s christian crusade against homosexuality. The documentary is broken up into multiple parts.
Correspondent Mariana van Zeller travels to Uganda, where many question whether the growing influence of American religious groups has led to a movement to make homosexuality a crime punishable by death. As an anti-gay movement spreads across the continent, gay Africans and their families face an increasingly uncertain future of isolation, imprisonment or even execution.
I know this is no laughing matter, but my god combining an African accent with repeated use of the phrase “Eat Da Poo Poo” had me damn near tears. One of my favorite parts is the description of “Anal Leaking” at the o:30 mark of the video. The pastors gesturing to depict sucking the “leakage” is just as priceless as the whole “Eat Da Poo Poo” bit.

Oh, Echo Park… Even Your Fish Have Herpes!
Saturday, May 29th, 2010Tip of the Day: If you just so happen to cheat on your significant other and give them herpes, here’s a solution for you! BLAME IT ON THE FISH IN THE ECHO PARK LAKE!
Assuming he/she hasn’t noticed a little flare down there yet, come home soaking wet bitching about getting pushed into the lake by some asshole jealous of all your dope Мишка gear, than a few days later casually “come across” this news article in front of your girl and act horrified of the possibilities.
*Note: this is all under the presumption that your lover is a complete fucking idiot and doesn’t know that fish and human herpes aren’t communicable.

I Was a Teenage Werewolf!
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010Braces on my fangs… Prolly’d? Yes? No? Either way, read more about it here.
P.S. I don’t care what the newscaster says, being a wannabe werewolf is still being Goth in my book.

Book Find: NAM: The Vietnam Experience 1965-75
Thursday, May 13th, 2010So halfway through writing this, the Internet showed me up. If you don’t already subscribe to the Boston Globe’s earth-shatteringly fantastic photo-essay column ‘The Big Picture‘ you need to stop reading this and go do that. To quote an exasperatedly red planet, DO THAT. Once you’ve got red-hot, amazing, archival quality photos dumping into your feedbox every couple days, you’ll forget all about cobra snakes, breast-centric cities and towns, ffffounds…all of ‘em. This is not amateur hour. This is history Porn. This is the real thing. Space, Culture, Current Events, Disasters…you name it. Done. Professionally. Lovingly. Forever-style.
Last Friday’s edition of The Big Picture was especially gripping…it commemorated the 35th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War with some amazing and chilling photographs. I had been thinking of doing a Book Find on a book I purchased in the Barnes & Noble clearance aisle a few years (ok more than a few) back and boom, this thing landed on me. So, whether you think the book is cool or whether this post exposes you to an amazing body of documents…I’m fine with either.
NAM: The Vietnam Experience 1965-75 (edited by Tim Page and John Pimlott) is more or less your typical B&N clearance fare. If you’ve ever wandered up and down these aisles you may know what I mean…tabloid-style books—usually hardcover—that are full of poorly-printed photos and questionable information. Maybe some Taschen art books thrown in for good measure. I LOVE this section of the bookstore, as you can get some really awesome photo and/or design reference books for under ten bucks. I highly recommend drunkenly browsing it. You will come home with many books.
I picked this book up when I was fascinated by the M-16 and all it’s brothers and sisters. While I’ve since outgrown that phase (or at least assimilated it into all my other phases, go fig), I flip through these pages every now and again and bug my eyes out at some of the amazing photos and wonder at some of the outlandish headlines.
That all said, go read The Big Picture.

Juggalos to Help Clean Up the Gulf Oil Spill?
Tuesday, May 11th, 2010Well no, not really…but according to The Colbert Report they could be a solution. On last nights episode Stephen Colbert himself used an “Oil Containment Solution Randomizer” in which Juggalos were a possible solution. If you don’t want to watch the whole thing, you can skip to about the three minutes in to catch the randomizer in action.
It’s been a slow few weeks for any good Juggalo related news unfortunately. All of the Miracles madness has seemingly died down but ICP did just kicked off their latest tour last night in Dallas, TX, so hopefully that brings us ose new content in the coming weeks. The rest of the tour dates are located here.
I’m thinking of doing a spin off on the Bloglin favorite “Things I Own” and make it a juggalo edition. I have some nifty stuff you don’t see everyday which could entertain some so shoot me feedback in the comments and I will get that rolling for this week.

DIPSET BACK IN THIS…Potentially
Wednesday, April 21st, 2010Jim Jones and Cam officially buried the hatchet after announcing to MissInfo that they are rebuilding relations. Pause. No confirmation of an official Dipset reunion yet due to busy schedules but the two are confident that something can happen in the future.
I got one question mane: tell me who next?

Punk Is Really Dead, R.I.P. Malcolm Mclaren
Thursday, April 8th, 2010Of all our idols that have passed this year, this one is the hardest for me to digest. Malcolm Mclaren has left us today at 64 after battling with cancer. Malcolm was responsible for the success and demise of the Sex Pistols (as seen in “The Great Rock ‘N’ Roll Swindle” trailer below), the demise of the New York Dolls, he managed Bow Wow Wow, he had a hand in the evolution of modern electronic/rock music, and probably his most lasting legacy will be creating (and then commercializing) the Punk sound and “look” with the help of then partner Vivienne Westwood and activist/artist Jamie Reid.
Explore your roots through the Seditionaries archive through a comprehensive collection of works by Malcolm Mclaren and Vivienne Westwood.
