This baby hippo reminds me of the F'ed up looking baby (pic on top) in the David Lynch movie Eraserhead, which I hate and I'm pissed that I have been reminded of it!!! It was extremely depressing and left me with a feeling of hopelessness. If that was what he was trying to achieve, it worked! He says that the fim is extremely personal, and becomes uncomfortable when asked about "The Baby". Lynch thinks of Eraserhead as "A dream of dark and troubling things." Lynch will not tell anyone what that "baby" was; whether it was organic or mechanical, etc. He did say that the sounds they used for the baby were organic. CREEEEPY!!!! Now, when I think of Blue Velvet, all I can do is laugh and want to put on a breathing mask!!!!

I think my old friends & I partied with this guy in the 90's...

ROBOT CHICKEN SUCKS

I was all excited that I was about to see Robot Chicken for the first time because I thought it would be something I would like, but alas, I was let down. It was not funny to me at all. I think I'll stick with AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE. One of my favorite episodes is when Shake kills himself to get into a Ouiji-type videogame and can't get out, so Frylock and Meatwad summon a Shamen (who can only resurrect chickens) to try to bring him back to life. ARISE, CHICKEN, ARISE!!

HAIR RAISING DECISION

Today is the Pennsylvania presidential primary and for the first time in my life, I don't know if I will vote! I'm a GOP gal, but I'm not a lever-puller either. I try to make informed decisions about who I vote for, and I'm what the media calls a "values voter." I'm not wild about John McCain (closet Dem), and I don't want to see either Sir "William" Hillary or Fauxbama get into the White House and attempt to institute their socialistic ideas--I don't want to get started! Plus, I want to hear real solutions to real problems...not WHAT you want to do but HOW are you going to do it and WHEN, not ot mention how much will it COST? Also, I don't want to hear the tired "bring home the troops" mantra. I support the war, although like many Americans, I don't want to see our troops put in harms way either. IMO, only time will tell whether or not this war was a success or a grand mal failure of the Bush administration. I'm also tired of hearing whether or not the candidates support abortion--notice I didn't use the "cowardly" and "covert" term pro-choice (PRO ABORTION is appropriate IMHO). I'm staunchly pro-life but I also know that the Supreme Court is the only entity that can reverse Roe v. Wade and I don't see that happening in my lifetime. Yes, the President has the power to appoint SCJs who could work toward that reversal, but right now our government has bigger issues to tackle. The economy, gas prices, illegal immigration, etc. The adult v. fetal stem cell issue is immensely important to me, but again, there are issues that are imminently more important. Where the candidates stand on those issues serves as my set of criteria as to whom I would vote for. Anyway, I think I might write someone in for shits & giggles...

MOTIVATIONAL POSTERS

Don't you get annoyed by those run-of-the-mill motivational posters hung in offices that are titled "Success" or "Achievement" and have some "witty" phrase relating to the topic along with a picture of a soaring eagle or a Porsche? Well, thanks to my brother who sent me a group of ones I actually like, I will be featuring the ones I like the most here and there in this blog. So, w/o further adieu, this one is my favorite!! I nearly pisssed myself laughing!

FAUXBAMA

Wanted to post this to piss some people off. I know you've probably seen it before, but I'm in that kind of mood today! Are you going to listen to his "race speech" tonight just for comedic relief?

NEW TWIST ON GINGER V. MARY ANN

New criterion to consider in the discussion of which of these two women is more desirable...

The Associated Press

DRIGGS, Idaho -- Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann on "Gilligan's Island," is serving six months' unsupervised probation after allegedly being caught with marijuana in her car.

She was sentenced Feb. 29 to five days in jail, fined $410.50 and placed on probation after pleading guilty to one count of reckless driving.

Under a plea agreement, three misdemeanor counts — driving under the influence, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance — were dropped.

My Conclusion: STONERS PREFER MARY ANN!!!

Sexy Hollowood Men with Hair

Men, you get some eye candy with the Brad Pitt pic...

Bald Is Beautiful

For all of you dudes out there who may be "follicularly challenged"...PC mumbo jumbo...here are some pics to help cheer you up!! There were ten in the piece I read, but I picked the ones who rang my bell (especially the Italian musician Andre Feriante, shown last). I got these pics from MSN's Lifestyles section. Yes, Vin Diesel was in it, but he doesn't do anything for me! So now that I'm in to mood to look at sexy men, I will now post my favorite Hollywood men with hair!!!

Robot Chicken

"Actor Seth Green ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") and Matthew Senreich created this off-the-wall comedy hit, a series of pop culture parodies using stop-motion animation of toys, action figures and dolls. The title character had been an ordinary chicken until he was run down by a car and subsequently brought back to life in cyborg form by mad scientist Fritz Huhnmorder, who tortures Robot Chicken by forcing him to watch a random selection of TV shows, the sketches that make up the body of each episode."
I think I may have seen a nanosecond of this while I've been flicking through channels late at night when Law & Order: SVU isn't on. I obviously dismissed it in my mind as being uninteresting, but I just read the above description of it and, actually, it looks like something I might like! It may be stupid, but I like some types of stupid stuff! I hope it's warped and demented. Now, I just can't help comparing Robot Chicken's TV show torture with that of Alex De Large's (Malcom McDowell) eyes-propped open, movie torture/rehabilitation in Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange". It just CAN'T be that good, can it??
