Let's Talk About RFK and Space Nazis

Here's the thing about this blog, you guys: I don't like a lot of things. In fact, it would be equally fair to say that I flat-out dislike a lot of things. Perhaps it could even be said that I dislike most things and that my cynical outlook will lead me deeper and deeper into the darkness of isolation until I die alone and unloved in a dirty hotel room.

Most days that would be a pretty fair assessment of my blogging career up to this point. With few exceptions, this blog has been an unrelenting wave of negativity and mockery. Not today, my friends. As Robert F. Kennedy once said, "There are those that look at space Nazis and ask "Why?" I dream of space Nazis and ask "Why not?"



I was in the mood for something like this today, and yet would never have thought to ask for it. Like a fine wine that pairs surprisingly well with one's dinner. Except that it's space Nazis. My metaphors bring all the boys to the yard.

I Got the Scoop on Adult Swim

That's right. You know that new show on Adult Swim, The Might Boosh? Yeah, I've been watching that for over a year ever since I first saw it on BBC America. It is easily the craziest, cleverest, most interesting sketch comedy show that I have seen to date. SNL this is not (you know, because it's always funny). No, this is much closer to Monty Python but with a story arc throughout the whole episode and an always-extravagant musical performance. Oh, and their characters are some of the most memorable ones from any television show. My favorite is The Hitcher:



In short, you need to be watching this show. If you don't like it, don't ever speak to me. Here's the first episode on Adult Swim.

Sometimes I Feel Extreme

Dave: DO IT!
Dave: I DARE YOU!
Atticus: Do what?
Dave: IT!
Atticus: It?
Dave: Don't try to contain my creativity in your box.
Dave: YOU COULDN'T BOX THIS IF YOU WANTED TO.
Dave: Oh my.
Atticus: Dave, don't explode.
Dave: We have fun.
Atticus: Sure.
Dave: Or at least I do.

Oh man, I am going to raid the library so hard tomorrow. They have, like, books! So many books I want to read.

You Caught me at my Day Job

Notice my gigantic leather-bound book and mismatched shoes.

The book isn't a Bibble, if you were wondering. It's a copy of Don Quixote. Do you guys mind if I submit this blog as my thesis for my PhD. in Spanish Literature and Lulz?

Is "Pwned" No Longer a Video Destroyer?

See, it used to be that any video which prominently featured the use of the word "pwned" was really just trying to put a band-aid of hip internet speak over the massive cut of mediocrity. Now, despite the fact that I apparently now write for Grey's Anatomy (what with the medical jargon and all), it appears that a genuinely mildly amusing video has emerged despite its use of the word "pwned".



You guys, I think we made it through the darkest part of the night. That is to say, the night of "pwned" making videos unfunny. Darkness. You know how the internet is.

I Hate Bloggergies

For some reason, my allergies have really been flaring up badly for the last few days. Or maybe it's just that I found out that Crank 2 is coming out.



My goodness that's a lot of extreme camerawork. I guess we know where those ridiculousvisionary camera operators from the Matrix trilogy are working now.

Of course, the thing that we all seem to be over is WHAT? Crank 2? The UN considered renaming Crimes Against Humanity to Cranks Against Humanity after the first one nearly took over all of Europe before being defeated at Waterloo. And now, the cast and crew of Crank have escaped their exile to Elba to menace the world once again.

The world really is shrinking.
