Thursday's This & That

Come an' get a thick, heaping bowl of This & That!

A recent survey conducted in London confirms that no one likes clowns. (Just as an aside, I considered using a 'scary clown' picture here, but when looking for clown pictures, I came across some that were so disturbing that I couldn't even use them as an example of a scary clown. Nightmare Fuel, party of one!)

Also something to freak you out...a girl donning a leash who calls herself her fiance's pet gets booted off the bus, then gets an apology from the city for discriminating against her beliefs. What???

To get those disturbing images outta your head, how about looking at the trailer for Mamma Mia? Can't wait for this flick!

Nightmare Fuel o' the Day

Due to my own personal encounter with a monkey (long story I must save for another day), this ad for bicycles makes me cringe.[Live Journal/Vintage Ads]

He Can't Play the Drums or Piano

Lasse Gjertsen does some incredible editing to create some amazing music.

Weekend Re-cap

"Say hello to mah little friend..."

Well it was quite a long weekend. Dyno and I drove up north to visit with some of Dyno's family, and they had Christmas presents for me! Seeing as how I love Christmas presents, I couldn't turn them down. (Gift cards mostly, which is even better.)

Anyway, funniest part of the weekend was when Dyno got a rip in the back of his shorts. He happened to be going commando in them that day, so you could see some skin. Well, by the time we got through Central CA and he got out to get gas, the hole in his shorts was bigger, but Mr. Stubborn insisted on pressing on.

Well, we reached L.A. and stopped at the grocery store. I decided to stay in the car and relax, so Dyno went inside alone. When he came out and got in to the car his entire left cheek was exposed. I burst out laughing, imagining him walking up and down the aisles of Vons with his ass hanging out. Dyno finally conceded that it was time to throw the shorts away.

Happy Birthday, Cary Grant!

Archibald Alexander Leach would be 104 tomorrow!
(Tomorrow is Cary's birthday, but the Lounge will be closed for MLK Day, so...)

"Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops."

"I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be until
finally I became that person. Or he became me.”

"I improve on misquotation."

"I think that making love is the best form of exercise."

"To succeed with the opposite sex, tell her you're impotent.
She can't wait to disprove it."

"Everyone wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant."

You Suck at Photoshop

If you've ever watched a Photoshop tutorial...they are just like this. Well, sort of. (If the video's not working, try this link.)Thanks to Monte for the video!

Classic Quote of the Day

"I feel sorry for people who don't drink; when they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they are going to feel all day." --Frank Sinatra

Monday's This & That

Well that was one helluva fast weekend! Anyway, what's been going on around here?

Looks like Hong Kong wants Disney to bail out of Hong Kong Disneyland. The attendance has never been up to par with the American Disney parks. And with the Hong Kong government maintaining most of the control, it's never been a "real" Disney park, in my opinion...

...The final Fraggle Rock season is coming to DVD! The final 24 episodes of the fourth season will be released later this year in a deluxe collectible box. Check out the link to see which ep's this includes...

...And the Jamaican piece of land that Errol Flynn bought, after washing ashore in his yacht in 1946, is up for sale -- expected to go for around $50 million. Anyone wanna chip in with me?
