Gome of the Week
If I'm at a show, and you stand in front of me (or even worse reach over my shoulder in a supreme dick move) and take endless pictures of the group on stage, I really consider strapping you into an easily accessible full nelson. When you stand there and take video with your phone, you look like a sad, drunk fanboy. Here's the thing: shitty cell phone cam video footage on YouTube sucks. And cell phone pics suck. You paid to get in. Watch the fucking show, dickface.
This Week's Link That's Probably Not That Great
Bob Odenkirk on Super Deluxe - He gets my vote for funniest man alive.
This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
H.O.T.S. (1979)
Oh, those wacky 70's. The plot is simple: A group of scantily clad college girls start their own sorority with the intention of stealing away all of the frat boys. Short shorts and gratuitous nudity ensues. Danny Bonaduce appears in a supporting role and manages to look both lost and completely at home all at the same time. The mysterious vixen Angie Aames also makes a memorable appearance as Boom-Boom, who skydives topless into a posh dinner party. The climax is an all-girl topless touch football game. No joke.
Love, Biff.
This Week's Record You're Probably Not Listening To
Steve Arrington's Hall of Fame - Positive Power (1984)
Again, apologies for the sub-par photo, but I guess it's fitting for this extremely sub-par album. And, I'm too lazy to open Photoshop and edit the picture myself. You get the gist, this guy has some fantastic hair and a great attitude. And when it comes to half-assed 80's shit R&B, he's got the whole situation on lock. Kudos to you, Steve, I haven't sat through a side of a record that shitty since, well, I guess I've got to go back to last week. But the cover is frame-worthy and definitely worth the two quarters I plunked down for this slab o' wax.
This Week's Hip New Slang Word or Phrase
Nintendonitis - An unfortunate side effect of too much Nintendo. I thought I had left those days behind me, but the Wii will really work your elbows.
Origin - I don't know, Ace Ebb?
Usage - "Dude, my coug and I spent New Year's Eve playing strip Wii bowling."
"Dude, you truly are the portrait of class. If Norman Rockwell were alive, he could just follow you around and help himself to the endless spew of inspiration that is your life."
"Dude, you got that right. The night was good, but I had never had Nintendonitis of the wang before."
"Dude, I don't think that makes sense, and if it does, I don't know want to know how."
"Dude."
