Send Lawyers, Guns and Money

Jun 15th, 2009 | By Yours Truly | Category: Music

I can’t believe I did not have more exposure to Warren Zevon in the nineties. I loved his classic about getting into trouble while on vacation “Send Lawyers, Guns and Money,” but I never pursued his work beyond that (I guess I never cared for Warren’s Werewolves in London, which kinda dead-ended me back then.)

Here’s a quick follow-up to my dumb laws and odd customs post:

Funniest commercials

Jan 31st, 2009 | By Yours Truly | Category: Humor, Marketing

Superbowl is coming! I’m not really into football (like, at all); however: one staple of the Superbowl is the best and funniest commercials are aired.

On the subject of morals, customs, mores, and the relative nature of right and wrong: It is often the case that what is “right” in one culture, one time, is totally “wrong” in another culture, or at another time.

Looking at the list of recently released movies, I see a really ironic trend. It seems that the higher the rating a movie gets on the tomatometer, the lower-grossing that movie will be at the Box Office. The obvious conclusion: Aim for crap! Eskew quality! Run from art!
Makes you think of The Producers, doesn’t it? [...]



Scavenger Hunt: Bush Out, Obama In.

Scavenger Hunt!
Ok boys and girls; for this scavenger hunt we’re using TVTropes as our playground.
DingDongTheWitchIsDead
Bush is not dead (some vague analogy to Saddam Hussein circa 1991 comes to mind. Is that wrong?)  The recent rejection of Obama’s stimulus package by every single Republican in the House reflects this.
Ontological Inertia
We still have the Patriot Act, [...]



Dancing and walking horizontally

I was impressed by this video’s concept as much as by the song itself.
(The song is by Oren Lavie, and it’s called “Her morning elegance.”)
