A dozen URL's

by

Can you name more than a dozen URLs by heart?

Let’s see —

  1. Unusual Relaxation Locations (any shady building on Spenard)
  2. Uriel Remebers Lilith (now that’s an obscure reference…)
  3. Unborn Rhesus Livers (eeew…I got ill dissecting a tapeworm)
  4. Unfortunately, Rhett Limps (and drops Scarlett down the staircase)
  5. Urban Relocation Lands (we ran out of reservation space)
  6. Unlikely Rambo Lines (“Don’t you guys ever read Tolstoy?”)
  7. Utah’s Radical Luddites (electricity…what a concept!)
  8. Untie Ricky, Lucy! (the scenes Desi wouldn’t let get out)
  9. Ukranian Reuseable Leeches (very popular in the Dark Ages)
  10. Uncomfortable Rubber Lederhosen (trust me)
  11. Uncle Ralph’s Laundry (needs to be done more often)
  12. Uniquely Rotund Lemmings (fool things just rolled right off that cliff)

The Rocky and Bullwinkle Horror Picture Show

by

I’m torn between being impressed and frightened, but I have to admit, it’s quite a piece of work: the script for The Rocky and Bullwinkle Horror Picture Show!

Snagglepuss was okay\
But he was prob’ly gay\
‘Cause his fur was — shocking pink

And Bugs Bunny would gloat

When he got Elmer’s goat

Then he’d turn to the camera and wink

That Daffy’s a riot

I wanted to try it

When he shot off his beak with a gun

Whenever Scooby-Doo

Was searching for a clue

I’d always shout, “Run, stupid, run!”

[Chorus]

Animated — cartoon features

Elmer Fudd — will shoot at creatures

See Foghorn Leghorn — and Chilly Willy

Speedy Gonzales — acted so silly

Woah oh oh ohhhhhh

On those great, old — early morning — cartoon shows

Oh, I really loved Porky

Who talked kinda dorky

When he tried to say really long words

And that mean cat, Sylvester

Who’d constantly pester

That poor little innocent bird

In the eighties, the Smurfs

Conqured ‘toon turf

But now they’ve been pulled off the air

And when Mel Blanc died,

Said Chuck Jones to his bride,

“Now we’ll never hear Daffy Duck swear.”

Too bad!

[Chorus]

Animated — cartoon features

Elmer Fudd will shoot at creatures

See Foghorn Leghorn — and Chilly Willy

Speedy Gonzales — acted so silly

Woah oh oh ohhhhhh

On those great, old — early morning — cartoon shows

Remember those? Woah ohhhh

I love all them — early morning — cartoon shows

Don’t pick your nose! Woah ohhhh

On those great, old — early morning — cartoon shows

They don’t wear clothes! Ah-ohhhh

On those great, old — early morning — cartoon shows

Still looking

I could have sworn that I linked to this before (it’s been on the ‘net for months), but I can’t find it now, and it’s bouncing around the ‘net again. So…

  1. Go to Google.
  2. Type in “weapons of mass destruction” (without the quotes) as your search phrase.
  3. Click the “I’m feeling lucky” button.

Or, just click here. ;)

Yummy!

I just looked at the label on the soda machine here and could have sworn that rather than Cherry Coke, it read Chewey Coke.

Eeeeeewwwww.

Bring 'em on!

Someone needs to shut Bush up — now.

President Bush vowed today to pursue and prosecute Iraqis who attack American troops, saying: \”Bring `em on! We’ve got the force necessary to deal with the security situation.

“Anybody who wants to harm American troops,” Mr. Bush said, “will be found and brought to justice.”

Most people grow out of this schoolyard bully bravado once they leave elementary school. Can we get away with starting a ‘Ball Gags for Bush’ fundraiser drive?

The hat?!?

No one wants to put words in J. K. Rowling’s mouth, but it’s safe to assume that when she hails her readers’ creativity, she has in mind something other than tales wherein Professor Snape is fellated by the Sorting Hat.

Old School

by

Went out to the Vogue last night for an old-school techno night. Only there for a bit (I’m not at my most energetic on Tuesday nights), but much fun. Any night that I get to hear Psychic TV’s ‘I C Water’, Underworld’s ‘Dirty Epic’, and Die Warzau’s ‘All Good Girls’ is a good one for me. :)

Ogre (the doorman for the Vogue, who Chad introduced me to shortly after I got to Seattle) has been doing Tuesday night shindigs for a couple months now, with different themes each week. I’m going to have to start hitting them a bit more often for some mid-week “get out of the damn apartment” evenings.

Next week is a ska night. :) Maybe he’ll play Mu 330’s ‘Stuff’. I’d be happy with that.
