The Day Today
First things first, in case you were wondering what's the least fun thing to do on a Tuesday night after a long, shitty day at work, please, wonder no longer: It's going to a baseball game and watching the team you root for play like a bunch of Little Leaguers as they get their asses handed to them 9-0. No kidding, I thought I'd accidentally gotten on the wrong train and ended up at a Texas Ranger's game. Because we have trains in New York that make all local stops between here and Arlington, TX. Prove we don't!
Anyway, today is shaping up to be an unholy shitstorm of deadlines, paperwork, self-doubt, revenge, assassination attempts, ballroom dancing, three-card monte games and somebody's going to have to do all these dishes, and I guess that somebody's going to have to be me. And will anyone say a simple "thank you, C-dog?" No, of course not.
So, as you can see, I've got myself a pretty full plate. And not in the good, heapin'-helpin'-o'-BBQ way. In the bad way.
But, because I'd hate for things to dry up around here and have everyone get all lonely, here's...
One Of My Favorite Music Videos Of All Time:
NOTE: Sorry for the Fuse Network graphics all over the video; best copy I could find.
And...
Some Topics For Conversation:
-You know what's delicious? Bacon.
-Why don't men wear snap-brim fedoras anymore?
-Surprising C-dog Fact: I dance like a dream!
-Remember that show that used to be on Nick At Nite called Lancelot Link where all the actors were monkeys? That show was cool, huh?
-Your ideas about politics and popular music are different than other people's. Discuss.
I'll try to check in later, say around lunch break-ish time, just to make sure you crazy kids haven't trashed the place. Hopefully, things will calm down after a while and I can post more. But if not, know that C-dog loves you, but he's just too busy to play catch right now.

Why don't men wear snap-brim fedoras anymore
I really wish I could wear a fedora and not get weird looks. Indiana Jones is the coolest man alive and we wears one in academic settings and action settings.
Now people wear Crocs. Which proves that people today are just like school on Saturday...... No Class.
I once had a dream that I was eating bacon with nothing on but a Fedora. After which I went dancing with an actress whose name I will not mention, who had on a fluffy angora raspberry beret sans clothing also. The big band was a bunch of monkeys being conducted by Giuliani in drag. During the song “Last train to Clarksville” the horn section started throwing poop at the strings with the percussion section pissing all over the place. This did nothing to help my wooing of the said actress as you can imagine. Maybe you can tell me what this means.
Oohh, assasination attempts, those can be FUN sometimes! Who's the target?

Um, do you mind if I borrow this line from you? I love it, thanks.

I already 'borrowed' it from Rudy on Fat Albert so go ahead.
Because Ketchup is supposed to be red, Grass is green (except apparently in Kentucky where its Blue and during the summer under drought conditions when it is kind of brown) and "Yellow Lego guy with yello lego guts spewing everywhere" is yellow, This is why we dont wear Fedoras.... Basically look at the zabruder video of when Kennedy was shot, or any episode of I love lucy. That was the time period when men wore Fedoras and as you can see everything was shades of black and white. Men today value color over snappy looking fedoras, plus when Fedoras were in, Guys would wear suits for no apparent reason at all..... Plus imagine if it was "a shade of grey lego guy spewing shade of grey lego guts all over the place"
C-dogg you make me wish a man wearing a fedora would walk up to me and say, "You know what's delicious? Bacon." And then we'd dance.
fedoras are amazing. they make breaking up great...there should be a foggy airfield everywhere, and people could rent it, both members of the couple can stand in line... put on the fedora, stand in front of the plane and say those lines, adjusted to their situation.
"we'll always have...(fill in the blank)"
sadly, someone will say starbucks. ..which proves their relationship was doomed from the start.
on the video, i work part time as a script supervisor. that video makes my skin crawl, thinking of the continuity issues.
so you think you can dance™? how about the icky thump? white strip fever!
I have several Fedoras that I wear only when it is raining and when my hair is a certain length as they tend to make a mess of it. Now if everyone was like you Clint and did not care about messed up hair than I could wear it everyday, except on casual Fridays, then I would wear my cowboy hat. I guess in the olden days a handful of Dapper Dan hair ointment let you put it back into place once the old chapeau came off.
Thanks for doing those dishes, C-dog. I'll get 'em next time. Promise. :)
My husband has an Indiana Jones fedora hat that he wears around the house sometimes. And when we go on road trips, he likes to wear it. It's his "adventurin'" hat. Yep, that sounds as bizarre out loud as it did in my head. Hmm.
You know what's really good? Bacon sandwiches. With maybe a little jelly? MMMmmmmm.
You know what else they used to show on Nickelodeon? The Monkees. True story. (Or wait, was that MTV? The cable stations of my youth are all blended into a mixture of You Can't Do That On Television and Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" video....)
mmm bacon sandwichesn with avacado are supremely good...mmm...when's lunch
Ooh, love that video. Michel Gondry is a favorite. If you get the chance to rent his DVD in that whole music video director series, it's a good'un. I own his and Spike Jones'. Good stuff.
I might have to have some bacon sammiches for dinner now.
I was on the highway last night someplace in Kentucky when all of a sudden who popped out of my memory to frighten the living shit out of me?
Yellow Lego Guts Man.
That fool is everywhere.
ps Thank you, C-dog.
Midwesterner... See, I think it's Indiana who ruined fedoras for everyone. It became a "geek" thing after that movie, just like it became a "geek" thing to wear a long black trenchcoat after The Matrix.
Too Embarrassed... I... um... wow. I got nothing, to be honest, so I'll fall back on my stock advice: Drink more.
Gal Gotham... I can't say who the target is, but let's just say that the judging panel on America's Got Talent is going to be a little light next episode.
Bill from Gainsville... You're so right on, you're basically a large book called The Truth. B&W is the only the way to be fedora-ed.
Anonymous... I get that a lot, actually.
Quin... That's what's so kick ass about the video. Crazy, cukoo filmmaking skillz, yo!!!
Blythe... I know! I haven't gotten the album yet, but I've head it's fantastic.
David... If my name was Dan, I'd insist that all my friends call me Dapper Dan. Which would probably cause me to lose all my friends, but still... awesome nickname.
Giggleloop... Bacon and jelly? You're a madwoman. And yet, I'm intruiged. Also, all over the Michel Gondry DVD. I used to own it, but I think I sold it for booze money a while back.
NYCponderings... Hells yes. That's on the short list for last meals before I'm sent to the electric chair. I'm on death row, by the way. I mentioned that, right?
Stewpid... I live terrify. Also, what in the all-fired hell are you doing in Kentucky?
Well, The Matrix, and Columbine.
[In regards to black trenchcoats].
Oh yeah, some crispy bacon and a smidgeon of grape jelly, on toast even? Nummers. I think I know what's on tonight's dinner menu! Zing! (?)
listen to me C , dont joke with me about some electric chair status, im the type of girl that had to look gullible up in the dictionary last week to see if her picture was there....i am a simple girl from NH, dont scare me with death talk
that is why script supervising is stage management on crack, yo.
Big Daddy... See, I wasn't on my game enough to make a Columbine joke today. Thanks for picking up the slack, yo!
Giggleloop... I don't know...? Still skeptical. Then again, you're talking to the guy who enjoys peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches (not kidding), so who am I to judge?
NYCponderings... Worry not. I'm not on death row, nor do I forsee myself being placed in an electric chair of any sort in the near future. I am, however, deadly handsome and the envy of all who know me. That you can believe!
Quin... I could go for some crack right about now, since you mentioned it and all.
