Can someone please explain the popular appeal of the band “Rush”? It’s like someone took a hobby band out of a garage somewhere, added the vocal stylings of a sloppy Liza Minnelli and cranked it all up like a seizure enducing, Japanese commercial for edible foot paste.
I mean really… why?

ShareWhile modern America associates St. Patrick’s Day with drinking and… drinking, it wasn’t always a holiday of celebration. Centuries ago, in the ancient times before the birth of the United States, there was a small island with not much going for it other than lots of green grass and some potatoes. That all changed in 1492 with the birth of a man we know today as… Saint Patrick.

ShareWe get some pretty interesting spam comments that don’t get published. Previously, I posted the fun Russian one. This week’s winner. Cheese spam.
That’s right. Someone sent a spam comment to the site hoping to convince people to buy sketchy online cheese. The comment originated somewhere in Yugoslavia… a known mecca of the cheese world. I’ve seen spammers trying to sell many things, but cheese? Really? I thought it might redirect to something like Indian drugs or a way to refinance my house with monkey pelts, but it went to a site selling (in broken English) cheese.
Do people even buy online cheese from reputable sellers? Do they think people are sitting at their computer browsing along and suddenly read an ad for “magically, yelow (yellow?) homegrade cheese” from “the central of europe” and go “mmm… here’s my credit card?
Gross.

ShareOK, so it’s been a while since I posted anything and there’s no good reason for it. I’ve got 4 drafts sitting here and none seem worthy of publishing so I’m starting a new one from scratch.
I don’t even know what that means… “from scratch”. Does it mean I’m starting by relieving an itch? Does it mean the devil’s involved? I don’t know. English is a stupid language.
So today marks the release of Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland”. I really, really want to like this movie. I do, I do, I do. The Alice mythology is very interesting to me and I’d love for it to reach the screen in a format sans Disneyfication. Big fail there. Disney is producing this film too. But it’s Tim Burton and if there’s a director out there that can do insane absurdity, it’s him. I’d still like to have seen Terry Gilliam’s version, but the Disney execs probably don’t want the occupants of Wonderland killed off by a plague, Alice lobotomized, or the Queen of Hearts being chased through time by midgets. When word came out months ago about the project, I was giddy.
The casting sounds great on paper.
