I've found a lot of random things online. This is a record of the things I've sent to people. Or posted.

Caught Looking
Breasts are awesome and who wouldn't get caught looking.
Especially not Sophia Loren catching a quick look at Jayne Mansfield's breasts.
Hollywood has always been a classy place.

What a Drag
My friend Susan sent me this.
This is the best cover of "Stand by your man" this side of the Blues Brothers.
Pardon me whilst I say, "sing it girl"
Sing it girl!
Happy Vasili Arkhipov Day
If my life gets turned into a movie I hope Morgan Freeman plays me.
And hopefully he's able to find that kidnapped white girl.

Actors
Cracked posted a list about 5 Awful Things Nobody Tells You about Being an Actor. Thing is it's all about being a film actor.
And why not that's high profile.
Nothing to do with the few folks that hold this bizarre dream to be a stage actor.
Now that's the strange one. I recently worked with a voice actress that is well known and done some really well selling games and she was thinking of getting out of it because she wasn't making much money. Also worked a board meeting and the slight shock from the board when told actors make maybe 30,000 a year and that's if they work everyday.
Tough life.
As was said during a 14/48 play, "God made actors so prostitutes feel better about themselves."

Pure Moods
Al found a copy of this at Bolsa Chica some summer around '96 or so.
He gave it to me and it barely worked but I still listened to it.
When Napster reigned I downloaded most of these songs and still enjoy them but I don't feel too big into the New Age scene.

Way Too Late Music Video Fix
Primus has a new album coming out soon.
Hopefully a song like this is on it.
Or Tommy the Cat
or Poetry and Prose
or the Air is getting Slippery

Kiwiburger
I remember reading about the kiwiburger in Carl Shuker's Lazy Boys.
Vaguely I think it had to do with how square the protagonist's parents were.
Not really sure what it was I did a search and found out, intrigue I've made some poor substitute but am curious about it.
Also because of that book I started calling a store that sold mainly beer and wine a "bottle store".
Good book; check it out.

Fear and Loathing on X Play
I dug X Play when I had cable.
Had this odd combination of humor and reviews.
Toward the end of my time with cable I watched for the humor more than reviews.
This was one of the ones that highlighted the humor.
I'd like more like this.
There is a Breakfast Club one that was pretty good.
Mario is Missing
"Luigi's Mansion" was a good game.
"Mario's Missing" on the other hand... not so much.
Enjoy the Angry Video Game Nerd explaining why.
Merit Badges
I've wanted real life merit badges for a while now.
Maybe it's a touch of the continued childhood that's been happening these years.
Also could be the fact I wasn't a boy scout.
Sure cub scout but you only got pins there and I was in the reject den.
I remember one time at the Fremont cafeteria one of the guys had to use the bathroom and couldn't wait so he took a shit on the wall outside.
It was fun and my dad did the best he could but without support of other parents it wasn't good.
I do remember having fun though.

Can Not Be Unseen
I'm a fan of Beavis and Butthead but after seeing this I can not image knowing them in real life.
They were made by Kevin Kirkpatrick and will haunt you dreams forever!

If you haven't stolen internet from an unsecure wifi something maybe wrong with you.

One Size Fits All?
Saw this as part of an Oddee list.
What gets me is the fact it's One size fits all.
I guess if you start slow and such but maybe work up to this.
According to this flickr, which I assume is the origin, it is from Hollywood and that doesn't totally surprise me.
A bit but not much.
Do wonder if it was serious.

Me?
This picture pops up from time to time and I get asked if it's me.
I ran across it 3 or 4 years ago and looked at unsure if it was me.
My parents asked.
Last night it appeared on the Chive and again I have gotten asked.
In the end I don't know.
I don't think it's me but also it might be, after a drunken night, who knows.
Popcorn Day
Maybe it's today.
Maybe it's not.
Either way grab a pot, put some oil in there, heat it up, add the popcorn and shake it!
It'll be awesome.
Or you can class it up like Alton Brown
Or use an air popper because then it'll soak up butter like noone's business.

Transgender Beauty 2
Oddee has done another Transgender Beauty list but this time it is Men who were born women.
I forgot about Chaz Bono.
( The Rest )
Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
I think so Brain but I never realized these are a bit dirty... or my brain is.
Way Too Late Music Video Fix
This helped win "Best Heavy Metal Album"?
Why?
Sure I like "Farm on the Freeway" and "Another Harry's Bar" but not this.

Tech
In a Gibson novel, Idoru, one of the protagonists has a computer where the case is made seashells... or was it jade... it's been a while.
Still notion that the case of a device could be rather intricate and impressive was something that has lived on in me.
Yet the thing that gets me is there are hints of Victorian design if you know where to look... that place is often high voltage equipment.

Now I haven't spent a lot of time studying this picture but is this bridge the same bridge from 11'8" I don't know but further research is required.

Animal Signs
Mental Floss showed me some funny animal signs.
I've often wondered if various animals smell.
Although I will say my cat's breath smells like cat food.

Transgender Beauty
Oddee did a list of 10 Gorgeous Woman (Who used to be men).
Reminded me of a conversation I had a bit ago with my friend Bob.
We talked about transgender people and how they have this odd beauty.
It's rather true.
Tough to look at this and not think that.

Ending comments done to the tune of "Chicken Dance"
I can't wait to see more from him.
Throw a few flame gifs and this site might be from geocities in the 90s
Way Too Late Music Video Fix
Back in the 90s, when the Internet was a brand new thing, MTV would split the screen.
Show a video one part and the other had a real time window from a chat room.
On August 9th this video came on and the screen was filled with people saying how much they loved the Dead, how awesome it was and the like.
Later that day I found out that Jerry Garcia had died.

"Doug" as an Indie Film
I'd watch it... I'd try to make it at a good theatre but would see it at the Crest.

Is that why she's dodging me...
Some years ago I worked with a guy and while trying to explain relationships some girls gave him the book "He's not that into you" but they told him it applied to him and girls.
Now I can either believe that or believe it's digestive problems.
Thank you Jeph Jacques you have given me a new excuse.

Now that's an Art Critic
While a shame she caused $10,000 dollars of damage to the painting you have to be glad she was at least passionate about something.
And maybe she preferred representational paintings but that's no reason to take it off on an abstract painting.
A 36-year-old Denver woman, apparently drunk, leaned against an iconic Clyfford Still painting worth more than $30 million last week, punched it, slid down it and urinated on herself, according to a criminal case against Carmen Lucette Tisch.
"It doesn't appear she urinated on the painting or that the urine damaged it, so she's not being charged with that," said Lynn Kimbrough, a spokeswoman for the Denver District Attorney's Office, said Wednesday.
On the plus side the canvas wasn't pierced and can be repaired.
For The Rest
Shit White Girls say... to Black Girls
Saw this on Cynical-C and it got me thinking.
Being a bit of an undercover Latino, that is more folks don't realize my ethnicity, they often will say rather disparaging things about Latinos, in particular Mexicans, to me.
The interesting thing is when my background comes up they apologize. Racial guilt, I suppose, and mostly it doesn't bug me. These people aren't serious nor are they closed minded crackers it's just an establish social norm. I doubt they believe what they're saying but it's said as a joke and without harm intended. It doesn't bug me but I do worry that these little jokes could become established as fact. It's a minor fear, sure, but it's one that I wonder about.
Although when people find out I'm Jewish they'll often say, 'Oh so that's why you're cheap.'
Can't win them all.
Social Media
A bit ago a friend of mine had a college class where she was supposed to not use any social media for a few weeks. at the end she declared, "I am a fish in my sea of social media". Although I admit to being overconnected there is an annoyance when out with people and there is a lull in the conversations, the phones come out and, usually, it is Facebook that is checked.

Woke up and...
I kept hearing the part from this that goes, "Down on your knees before the Queen"
Odd because I did this show last year, thought it was interesting but am not a big musicals guy.
Still... odd

A few of these are good reasons to celebrate. So c'mon we can make this happen.

Way Too Late Music Video Fix
Weird Al, Steven Tyler and Alice Cooper were rocking out in Maui.
Say what you will about Weird Al but he puts on a hell of a stage show.
Even if it is at the county fair but I guess doing parody doesn't really sell out arenas.
