Red Sox Tickets And Blogs.


in

Alright so I’m trying to get another Squidoo lens spidered. So what? I’ve been working on this one a lot – chock full o’ content and probably one of the biggest lenses out there. So please have a look at my new Red Sox Tickets page. Then rub yourself. Repeat.

It’s shaping up to be a nice little weekend. A few laughs with the coworkers tonight, and a party at the Shit Disturber’s in Charlestown tomorrow. And I’m sure you can guess what I’ll be filling the rest of the time with. That’s right – furious Squidoo lens building. I have a problem.

It’s Funny Because They’re Only Acting Drunk. Right?


in Heartwarming


Maxim has just released a “Greatest Drinkers of all time list, and I thoroughly endorse their choices. “E.T. is No. 9 on the list, while Bluto (John Belushi) from “Animal House” is one spot ahead of him.” Blutowski is an obvious choice, but how many of us would have considered the scene from E.T. where he sneaks downstairs and drinks the shit out of a case of beer, causing poor Elliot to experience the same buzz while he’s at school? He kisses the young girl, lets the frogs loose, gets an OUI on his Big Wheel, beats a homeless person to death, etc.

But it gets better, deeper, liquorder: “Other top movie drinkers include The Waco Kid (Gene Wilder) from “Blazing Saddles, who comes in just ahead of the McKenzie Brothers (Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas) in “Strange Brew,” and just behind Coach Buttermaker (Walter Matthau) of “The Bad News Bears.” Kudos for remembering the Waco kid and the McKenzie’s. The list just became bloggable.

But where the heck is Arthur, I asked myself. At #2, of course. And the #1 movie booze bag of all time? Frank the Tank. I think Arthur should have won the top spot, hands down. But still a well complied and humorous little collection of souses.

Everybody’s #1 At Something.


in Television

Unfortunately, it’s not “sleeping with Angelina Jolie” or “crapping $100 bills” today. Rather, my silly little Trailer Park Boys Squidoo lens has reached #1 in the top 100 – out of several hundred thousand. It’s kind of a big deal. Here’s where the screenshot for posterity comes in. In your fucking face, ‘Grandmothers Rule’:

I need some Squidoo methadone, stat. Methadoo.

Wednesday Wadio: Bubble’s ‘Liquor And Whores’.


in Television, Wednesday Wadio

“Oh I’m fucking excited alright! There are probably all kinds of record company people there and I’m hoping if I sing some of my songs they might want to sign me to a record deal and I could become a big Country & Western star. Liquor and Whores is always a big hit down at the legion so you never know!” – Bubbles

Before the launch of the Trailer Park Boys 5th Season this time last year, the three main actors – Rob Wells (Ricky), John Paul Tremblay (Julian) and Mike Smith (Bubbles) did a nationwide promotional tour of Canada. At a radio station in Ontario, Bubbles offered to sing a song in the middle of an interview and it quickly became a cult classic. That resulting diddy is the focus of Radio Pye today, you lucky people.

“Liquor and Whores” is really one for the ages. The protagonist meets a girl while he’s “drinkin’ at the Legion” and the conversation quickly turns to marriage. Speedy courtships aside, our hero warns that before the nuptuals take place, there’s something she really needs to know about him. Listen to the song to discover the shocking secret, and please try not to faint.

You can also watch Conky sing the tune in a truly disturbing Flash movie if you’ve got that much free time. Forget the booze and the loose women – If you’re a fan of cigarrettes, dope, baloney or mustard you’re in the right place. The Legion, apparently.

My Body Is A Temple. Of Doom.

My beloved sister just sent this image to me, as she knows that nothing touches my heart quite like the underground Thuggee religion. Touches, tears from my chest and ignites, to be exact. A sincere and heartfelt happy Valentine’s day to all of my readers – real and imagined. The love, and narcissism, conquers all.
