80s Music Videos

That's a screen capture of Jermaine Jackson and Pia Zadora's music video of When the Rain
Begins to Fall. Remember them? I didn't even know Pia Zadora had a video let alone where she didn't undress...

This quirky russian site has a chock full of these old yummies. From Steve Miller's Abracadabra to Joy's Touch by Touch (if that isn't 80s music, I don't know what is). Go take a gander and start burning bandwidth.

I took a funny test...

the Wit (60% dark, 39% spontaneous, 27% vulgar)

your humor style: CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean you're pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after all isn't that the Simpsons' philosophy?--but rudeness for its own sake, 'gross-out' humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat. I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer. Your sense of humor takes the most effort to appreciate, but it's also the best, in my opinion. Also, you probably loved the Office. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check it out here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/theoffice/. PEOPLE LIKE YOU: Jon Stewart - Woody Allen - Ricky Gervais

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 92% on dark You scored higher than 0% on spontaneous You scored higher than 30% on vulgar

Maybe they're being taught to shampoo...

Ok. I'm not an expert here and I'm not sure if what I'm saying is right but humor me...

1. Does this meet earthquake drill standards of the safety council? Do we have a safety council?
2. Is it me or hiding under a plastic chair would not save the kids from an earthquake. I mean, the kids look wider than the chairs.
3. Wouldn't it be funny if this room is on the ground floor facing a wide open area?
4. What's the story of that kid on the far left? Why is he facing the other direction?
5. I notice on the far left background, the teacher is standing up. Why is that? Isn't this a drill? Or is the teacher exempted from being injured from a real earthquake?
6. What the hell is that little girl in the middle staring at? I want to know!

I know what you mean, Satchel

For me it was when I first saw Wonder Woman and I felt I had to be a much cooler super hero than the Six Million Dollar Man to get her to notice me.



Oh and you have to see War of the Worlds to get this...

Hello Kitty Chess Set

Cute. I bet The Cat would sure like them.

(via Boing Boing)

Me? I would have failed that quiz...

I prefer to use the word as a noun.

But then again, why not use it as a personal pronoun, verb, and noun?

Love love Love.

The Island flops, the iPod is better

"...The plot seemed to be revealed in the trailers with the refrain that there is no Island—and the fact that there's no island in a movie called The Island was pounded into potential moviegoers. The natural reaction was indifference..."

Yeah. I mean, even if I didn't watch the movie, I already know that there is no island and that it's just a research center for clones because of the trailers.

Pulp Fiction: Epilogue ?

Ok. So, what did Jules Winnfield (Samuel Jackson) really do after the movie?

Well, this video tells us. He didn't just walked the earth, he skated the ice. It'd be cool if Vincent Vega was in it too.

Oh wait, Vince is dead.

I also believe in The Great Pumpkin

"'Gamers in Singapore have always shown tremendous enthusiasm for Blizzard games, so we're thrilled to be teaming up with iGames Asia and releasing World of Warcraft there,' stated Mike Morhaime, Blizzard Entertainment president and co-founder. 'One of our goals has been to make World of Warcraft available to gamers around the world as quickly as possible, and today's announcement is another great step in achieving that goal.'..."

Ok, riddle me this, how come a country with less people than the a city in Metro Manila can get World of Warcraft first? My faith is wavering on World of Warcraft Philippines and Guild Wars is starting to look real.... ACK! ACK! ACK!

No death penalty for suspected Cebu drug lord--solon

"THE DEATH penalty will not be carried out on a suspected drug lord from Cebu province as part of an agreement President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo struck with Hong Kong authorities who facilitated his extradition to the Philippines, said a lawmaker Wednesday..."

Maybe they should give that guy to the horse...

When a Man Dies in a Sex Act with a Horse -- What's a Reporter to Do?

"...We tried to make it as tasteful as possible keeping out the cause of death. As a surprise, I had at least 70 emails from people and the vast majority wanted to know what killed this guy,' she said. 'So on the second day we had to be more specific.'

Although she never reported the man's name, in her second article Sullivan did say that he was 45 years old and added that he died of acute peritonitis due to the perforation of the colon. But because Washington is one of 17 states that does not outlaw bestiality, having sex with a horse is not a crime and his death will not be investigated..."

Ok, this is a follow up post to the Sex with a horse thing. Ok, some points:

1. Having sex with a horse is not a crime.
2. The man's colon was ruptured
3. Sex with weaker animals like chickens, goat and sheep is a crime , constituting animal cruelty.

I think, the horse should be criminally charged for having sex with the man.

Oh, and be careful the next time you eat chickens, goat, or sheep. You don't know who's it been with.

Google Moon - Lunar Landing Sites

"Welcome to Google Moon... In honor of the first manned Moon landing, which took place on July 20, 1969, we’ve added some NASA imagery to the Google Maps interface to help you pay your own visit to our celestial neighbor. Happy lunar surfing..."

Oh and be sure to set the zoom level to maximum to find out what the moon's made of.

Any chance we can find the golf ball hit by Armstrong? Or was it Aldrin?

Man dies after sex with horse

"A man died of internal injuries from sex with a stallion at a ranch used by a bestiality ring, police in the northwestern United States state of Washington said on Monday..."

Sex with a horse? I thought I read sex LIKE a horse.

Dang...

Fooled twice - INQ7.net

"THERE is a saying in the West that goes: 'Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.' Alas, this is exactly what the Filipino people got from President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. When she reneged on her pledge not to run for president in the 2004 elections, it was her first fooling of the people. The second one was the 'Garci' tape..."

Oh yeah. I forgot about her promise before that she wouldn't run again. I think she forgot about that too.

List of songs with titles that don't appear in the lyrics

I'm so engrossed in filling up my iPod with songs. Then a thought occured to me, some songs like Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen), My Immortal (Evanescense), Clint Eastwood (Gorrilaz), Elderly Woman Behind The Counter in a Small Town (my fave Pearl Jam song) does not contain the title of the song in the lyrics. I wondered how many songs are like this.

I didn't need access to some Web Database Software (although this one really looks yummy) to find out the answer. Just my handy dandy google and boom!

Shatner Does Seven

"Soon after the movie Seven came out, the MTV Movie Awards got William Shatner to do this parody. He plays the lead roles as each of his more famous characters: Captain Kirk, TJ Hooker, and himself as the host of Rescue 911. Includes a guest appearance by Carmen Electra as an alien. Movie sometimes spelled Se7en..."

This one has been doing the rounds for awhile now. Funny.

Seven or Se7en is one of my favorite movies. Although John Doe (Kevin Spacey) should have done a Hannibal and checked out some Italian Villa Rentals or applied as a museum curator or something...

Themed Fonts

At one time, I had this idea of going into postcard printing. The one thing that was exasperating at that time was the limited fonts I had then.

Well, this site has a gaboodle of fonts from Fight Club to Batman and even Calvin and Hobbes!. Let's get font crazy!

By the way, my all time fave is Lucida Bright.

What next Charlie? - Chocolypse Now

It seems Charlie is all zonked out and now has decided to off Willie Wonka... Well, that's the premise I think of Chocolypse now. Anyway, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory seems to be getting not too great reviews. I'd still watch it though.

I wonder how the Hustle And Flow Movie will do?

You Can't Handle The Truth!

This is a Half-Life 2 adaptation of a scene from the movie A Few Good Men. It's really really cool! The original dialogue is superimposed on computer rendered animation. Even the facial expressions are impressive.

If you think this is easy, think again. It's easier to file an accutane class action lawsuit than do one of these.

Variants of Catcher in the Rye

Here's a post for freude...

A gallery of covers of JD Salinger's Catcher in the Rye.

Heck, I thought in only came in red...

The Philippine Protest Rally in Pictures

These pics could be used as part of a trade show display of what Philippine politics is all about.

Here's an idea, why not let the President face the public every sixty days and everyone gets to vote if he or she get's to stay on for another sixty days. People can just text or phone in their votes. Proceeds from it goes directly to the government coffers. That's sure to generate more revenue for the government than that eVAT thing. Plus it's entertaining. I mean, we get to see the President sing a song or dance every now or then...

Play World of Warcraft Offline

"Play World of Warcraft Offline!!! (rare!!!) im selling and also spreading the word for all you blizzard world of warcraft fans around who wanted to play warcraft without paying and connecting online. here's the only way you can play if. they call it private server. it has been proven and I myself is playing it. no need for any cd key's, will work with any world of warcraft disc or originally installed cd..."

One of my friends stumbled upon it and is hooked on playing WoW offline. He got it from an advertisement and didn't even had to pay for it.

What?! Who would want to play World of Warcraft offline? I read that on Ebay. Ugh. That just defeats the purpose! Although I do hear that you can hit level 70 with one mob. Level 1 to 70 in a few secs. And epics galore. It's not my cup of tea, really.
As for me, I'm turning blue from holding my breath for World of Warcraft Philippines. Come on Blizzard, up and at 'em! World of Warcraft Philippines! Guild Wars is here already, it's up to you to up the ante!

That's a bit too much exclamation points but for World of Warcraft Philippines, that isn't even enough...

This service is real cool.

I know, i know... I sold out to the system.

But wait... I didn't.

You know how hard it is to get decent ORIGINAL PC and Console games here in the Philippines? Very hard. And very expensive. For one thing, Play-Asia is offering World of Warcraft real cheap with free delivery here in the Philippines. A computer store here sells it at over P3000! That's why I like this service. Fast, cheap, and dependable. Plus it's a real come on when they offer free deliveries to the Philippines on some products. They also have Worlod of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade.

So, getting those PC and console games faster and cheaper than any other retailer store here in the Philippines is so worth it that I don't think that I sold out.

I prefer to think that I just bought in to the system....

Papal Nuncio Reprimands Bishops

"...Two bishops confirmed NEWSBREAK’s information that Franco [Papal Nuncio Antonio Franco] scolded them Saturday (July 9) morning over what he described as excessive political meddling of some bishops. He gave his piece of mind in his traditional address at the opening of the CBCP’s annual plenary assembly in Pope Pius Center...Franco told the bishops he “cleared” his message with the Vatican, which is monitoring how the local Church is behaving in the current political crisis. Franco said the Vatican is displeased over too much political interference by the local Church and would no longer tolerated..."

A sane voice in the Church? Someone who knows what 'Separation of Church and State' really means? An opposition ploy?

Dang. I hate politics.

Sleep Paralysis (Bangungot)

"Most cases unfold as follows: A person wakes up paralyzed and perceives an evil presence. A hag or witch then climbs on top of the petrified victim, creating a crushing sensation on his or her chest...Sleep paralysis embodies a universal, biologically based explanation for pervasive beliefs in spirits and supernatural beings, even in the United States, Hufford argues. The experience thrusts mentally healthy people into a bizarre, alternative world that they frequently find difficult to chalk up to a temporary brain glitch...."

Sleep paralysis is the condition when, during sleep, one wakes up suddenly and can't move a muscle. It is also called bangungot in tagalog.

Here's a fairly scientific article on this condition.

Guess what I joined?

Fight Club

"In the film Fight Club, the real name of the protagonist (Ed Norton’s character) is never revealed. Many believe the reason behind this anonymity is to give 'Jack' more of an everyman quality. Do not be deceived. 'Jack' is really Calvin from the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. It’s true. Norton portrays the grown-up version of Calvin, while Brad Pitt plays his imaginary pal, Hobbes, reincarnated as Tyler Durden..."

This is a repost. But this article is so ummm.... so there that I want it up and out again. Being a big Calvin and Hobbes maniac as well as a huge Fight Club psycho this really woke up the fanboy in me.

CBCP shuns Arroyo-quit call

"ROMAN CATHOLIC bishops, moving to ease the worst political crisis hounding President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, yesterday refused to join a mounting clamor for her resignation amid allegations she stole last year's election but advised her not to dismiss such a call.

'We do not demand her resignation,' the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) said in a long-awaited statement issued at the close of a two-day annual meeting..."

Is the Church in any position to demand anything from government?

The Tigang L, L for Loser

"What?!", I blurted out.

"The ex boyfriend sent a text message to MY girlfriend practically begging for sex", The Dude calmly tells me. His smirk is one for the books. Something between pissed off and of amusement.

"Now why would he do that?", I asked.

"IT not he. It's not even a man for what IT did. Well, maybe IT isn't getting any and the funny thing is, IT even phrased the text like IT's doing MY girlfriend a favor."

"What a pathetic loser", I said.

Our conversation was kind of cut off when someone at the end of the bar gave out drinks. After a stiff vodka shot, a response of another round of drinks from the other end of the bar, another vodka shot and some small banter, we continued our conversation.

"So, what did you do?", I asked while feeling a bit of buzz from the two free vodka shots.

"I started to get pissed off, that's what I did! But after awhile, I felt sorry for the loser. I mean, how desperate can you get that you have to beg for sex from someone who you left in the first place? That thing's got no balls, no guts, and no life. I have this mental picture of IT as a slimy squirmy turtle head who browses porn sites with a bottle of vaseline on hand. Why, if I ever get to bump into it, I'll go Samuel Jackson on its butt! And I mean Samuel Jackson Pulp Fiction 'Does He Look Like A Bitch' Samuel Jackson."

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Cool down dude!", I told The Dude.

"Sorry about that. IT just gets to me. First IT texts her hi hello and stuff then proceeds to tell her that IT's tigang (dry) then ends up asking for just thirty minutes of sex. What would you do?", he tells me.

I take a deep breath and tell him, "Well, you're right. He is a pathetic loser. And it is really way past irritating. Did she say yes? Did she hide it from you? I mean, you're girlfriend is with you now. Not him. You should feel sorry for the loser. He's more than a loser for what he did. His name should start with an L, L for loser, heck! Maybe his name does start with an L, you know what I mean. Just the fact that he did that proves what he is. It is funny though. I mean, I wouldn't go out and beg for sex. That's just so... so.. ummm.. what's a better word for pathetic?"

The Dude smiles and says one word that just encapsulates what the loser is.

"Pitiful".

Crank this baby up a notch!

I've been slacking with this site for awhile now. Really have to apologize but when you're living la vida loca, nothing would matter. Been having the time of my life for the most of a quarter of a year now and things are just on the up and up.

You tell 'em Bucky. As for me, Pepper me! Pepper Me!

Vatican criticizes Catholics who receive Communion without confession

"The Vatican singled out divorcees who remarry and Catholic politicians who support abortion on Thursday in criticizing the faithful who continue to receive Holy Communion while in a state of mortal sin..."

I wonder what the Church's stand on accepting charity and donations from mortal sinners?

Censors board suspends Sky Cable and Destiny!

This bit is buried at the bottom of the article. Funny that I think this is more important than 'Extra Challenge'. But then again, I saw Conspiracy Theory this morning...

"...The MTRCB also banned from airing shows for 15 days two cable channels caught violating the parental guidance classification allowed for television...

The MTRCB suspended the two cable channels (Sky Cable and Destiny) from July 4 to July 18..."


Ok. So from now to July 18, there is nothing on television since I have Destiny. Not sure if this goes for everyone else though. But I am assuming...

Imagine all subscribers not having to watch anything. So if what I'm thinking is right, a whole lot of people would NOT BE ABLE TO WATCH THE NEWS, THE LATEST ON GLORIAGATE, OR EVEN the BBC! Nothing until the 18th.

How do you like them apples?

ADDITIONAL:

Well, it seems the MTRCB hasn't implemented the sanction to Sky and Destiny. Although during the time of posting, Destiny was out for a day or so. Destiny is back on again...

Howstuffworks "How Coffee Works"

"Coffee's story begins with a goat, at least in legends. It's said that Kaldi, an Ethiopian goatherd, noticed his goats acting very frisky after eating a certain shrub. He took some of the shrub's berries for himself, caught the buzz and coffee's future was secured..."

The story of coffee. And contrary to rumors, Starbucks didn't invent coffee. They just made it more expensive...

AFI's 100 YEARS...100 MOVIE QUOTES

"The American Film Institute (AFI) revealed the top movie quotes of all time in AFI's 100 Years...100 Movie Quotes, a three-hour special television event on CBS hosted by actor and action star Pierce Brosnan with commentary from many of Hollywood's most celebrated actors and filmmakers. A jury of 1,500 film artists, critics and historians selected 'Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn,' spoken by Clark Gable in the celebrated Civil War epic, GONE WITH THE WIND as the most memorable movie quote of all time..."

I like Tom's quotes better. As for AFI's number one? 'Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn,'.
