The Camp of Jesse: I call for a treaty

Image
The Camp of Jesse:  I call for a treaty “Just when I thought I was out, his fans pull me back in…” Over the last few months, there has been a running gag or non-feud with the MTV personality Jesse Camp.  I’m not sure if Mr. Camp is even aware of this running “non-feud”.  Somehow, after posting one negative blog post about him last year, it has spawned a back and forward with some of his fans and his extended family.  I get a kick out of all the negative comments about a guy from MTV circa 1990s. So, flash-forward to today when I get another bloody comment. Here’s the comment from an anonymous commenter, ((Anonymous said... The fact that you are trying to diss anybody about there job is pathetic! I think it's cool that he had a job. Especially in this economy now. Get over your self.)) Hey, Anon, the guy has probably done better for himself than both of us, you the bagger at a grocery store and I the stupid blogger.  I know that you think it is cool that he h...

Unbreakable by Khloe and Lamar

Image
What a lovely couple..., but do you want to smell like them? Unbreakable by Khloe and Lamar I heard this on the Kevin Smith podcast and could believe this was real, but it is.  Khloe and Lamar combine their powerful smells to form a new fragrance called Unbreakable.  Don’t take my word for it… Lamar, what are you doing?  First, you marry the unattractive version of the Cardassians, uh Kardashian.  Then, you show up in this unmanly unisex fragrance for good measure.  Do I want to smell like Khloe and Lamar?  When I think of sexy, I don’t think of Khloe and Lamar.  Why is Khloe dry humping Lamar in the ad?  Does the fragrance remove your clothes for you? By the way, the name Unbreakable will be funny if these two ever get divorced.  I’m thinking this marriage will last another year or so.

Diffen: Comparing one thing to another

Diffen: Comparing one thing to another http://www.diffen.com/ Because I spend a lot time wondering around the “series of tubes”, I usually get curious and discover really cool sites.   Diffen is one of those sites.   ( Check out the Website ) Some of the coolest ones I've tried were Tortoise vs Turtle : Now I know the difference. Tortoises live around 40 to 150 years and have rounder shells. They like to live on land, while turtles love the water more. Plus Turtles make better pets than Tortoises. Frog vs. Toad : I've had many frogs as pets, but never any toads. I know that many frogs like water, but there are tree frogs that seem more toad like in environment, but have smoother skin than toads. Batman Vs. Spider-man : This one is interesting because they've had a few crossovers over the years. While they both bounce around on rooftops, they really don't have that much in common. Affect vs. Effect : I try to avoid using “affect” if all possible, because one of my journ...

Damn it, Jar-Jar

“Messa goin to munch-munch ya pizza.   O-kay-day?” This photo kind of creeps me out.   You know the way Jar-Jar stares into my soul is just creepy.   At first, I thought a naked Jar-Jar snuck into the room and drink all his grape soda and ate his pizza.   Hmm, Pizza, Grape Soda, Jar-Jar.   I’d like to think Sean B for letting me use his photo.   

Tommy Lee Jones is the face of Canned Coffee? (Boss Ads)

Image
 Tommy Lee Jones is the face of Canned Coffee? I don't remember these ads being listed on his IMDB page? While digging through Reddit , I came across this little gem. It appears Tommy Lee Jones was in a series of commercials involving him playing an alien dressed as a human as he investigates the planet. I guess this alien Tommy Lee Jones is hooked on canned coffee too. The commercials seems to have a straight forward story. Plus, it is a twist on the Men in Black series. You can chalk this appearance up to another big name actor finding it perfectly okay to do ads for Japan, but not for the North American audience. Could you imagine the units they would sell if they showed these ads here in NA? From TV-Tropes, this is called Japandering . From Tropes, (( Deep down, what successful actors recognise or pay their agents to recognise is that doing something embarrassing or "beneath" their standard for some short term bucks can harm their long term prospec...

The Hall Monitor: The world's most useless behind the bathroom attendant

Image
The Hall Monitor: The world's most useless behind the bathroom attendant Who monitors the Hall Monitors? From Wiki , (( A  hall monitor  is a student volunteer in  American  schools who is charged with maintaining order in the school's corridors. They may be either students who are chosen for the position because they are responsible, or that may be chosen on a rota from all available students. (A  dorm monitor , similarly, is a student or teacher volunteer in schools who is charged with maintaining order in a school's  dormitories , i.e. making sure children are in bed asleep and not disturbing others). )) I got into a discussion at work about hall monitors and my dislike of them. What kind of kid desires to stand around a hallway and yell at their fellow classmates? That won't make you popular with the cool kids. I'm guessing these are the egghead kids that got the set of Crayola Crayons 64 packs with the crayon sharpener. Like I am today...

Lady Gaga's “Born This Way” (sounds like a Madonna song)

Image
Lady Gaga's “Born This Way” (sounds like a Madonna song) Come on, girls. Do you believe in love? People have claimed for years now that Gaga has ripped off Madonna's style by just making it more robotic and childish. I am one of those people. I've always felt Gaga was the carbon paper copy of Madonna. Some are a “Twitter” about Lady Gaga's newest song. And listening to her newest single “Born This Way”, I can hear the distinct structure of a certain Madonna era from Gaga's single. If you're going to copy Madonna's style and image, you might as well go for the sound too. While the song is a tad too generic and “trance beat sound” for its own good, I do like that Gaga doesn't rely on the auto-tune as much or the two-note range of her old music. In the end, I kind of like the song, but I liked it better in its original form, Madonna's Express Yourself . But, could you have tuned down the massive thumping beat just a bit, Gaga? I'm...

The Huntress and The Question like Phone Sex

Image
The Question:  "Here's my blog address." The Huntress and The Question like Phone Sex Yes, that's right, the Huntress enjoys having phone sex with The Question. When they moved the DCAU over to Cartoon Network, they were able to get away with more controversy stuff than on the bigger networks. They certainly added more sexual jokes into their shows. And, yes that is Jeffrey Combs doing the voice of The Question. Combs, being a great character actor, does a lot of voice work on cartoon shows. He works on both the new Avengers and Transformers cartoons.   

Judge Dredd (Comparing the used Jerry Goldsmith stuff to Alan Silvestri)

Image
Judge Dredd (Comparing the used Jerry Goldsmith stuff to Alan Silvestri) Originally, late composer Jerry Goldsmith wrote a piece of music for the film Judge Dredd. Goldsmith had to leave the project and Silvestri was brought in to do the music for the movie. As the poster for the video has stated, there are certainly some influences to Goldsmith's work in Alan's score. Also, here is a bonus Alan Silvestri score from the movie Eraser. I really dig this score and it has some similarities to the Judge Dredd score.
