Men in thongs

posted by Moonage

A northern Kentucky man wearing only a thong and carrying a knife allegedly videotaped himself attempting a burglary, then left the tape behind, police said….

Now, regardless of the fact he left film of his family on the tape, which led very quickly to his arrest, and, besides the fact he felt compelled to film the robbery and leave it behind, what makes this guy an IDIOT is robbing someone at knifepoint in a THONG.  Everyone hates men in thongs.  it just ain’t right.  You wanna give someone that extra little adrenaline rush it takes to beat the begeebers out of you, show up in a thong.  At least he brought along a knife for self defense.  This guy needs to be locked up for his own safety.  He ain’t right.

First, take a look at this hit Chad Johnson took during the Bengals/Browns game:

Now, take a look at the post-game interview he gave:

Whew!

Aaron Carter is SO 18

posted by Moonage

The headline is pretty amusing in itself: Teen idol breaks engagement after one week.  What makes it even more amusing to me is not so much that a young guy made a rash decision, he had a total meltdown apparently.  First, he apparently meets Kari because she was doing his brother.  Then, when they cool off apparently, he proposes onstage to his brother’s ex.  Now, in a lot of situations, this can cause a lot of family strife.  He wasn’t thinking about that at the moment apparently.   I can see his problem tho, THIS is Kari Peniche:

getting totally naked with little prompting.  I was 18 once, I feel Aaron’s angst.  I also had a good friend who proposed every single time he got some.  It tended to chase them away pretty dang quick.  But, I gotta admit, they didn’t look like Kari.

I could go on and on and on about the psyche of the average 18 year old male ( or lack thereof).  And, I could tell endless tales of embarassing myself over something that LOOKED really good at the moment.  However, this is Pavlov, not the Spacedream, so I’ll just gawk at Miss Peniche for a while and thank Aaron for clueing me in that she likes to get naked.  Hopefully we’ll see a lot more of her.  Wonder if she can act too?  I better quit, this is getting bad.


UPDATE: October 2, 2006: Got an update. Apparently I was right about he Kari wedgie:

Don’t know how real this is, don’t care!

Miss Italia

Here’s a pic of the winner of the Miss Italia contest:

I couldn’t think of anything better to post than three babes touching each other ( look closely at the winner’s right hand, is that just an accident or is she copping a feel? ).

No gambling at this casino

posted by Moonage

Last night, Mrs. Moon had to work out of town. Around 9:15 I got Moonlet in bed as well. I had successfully chased off the Step-Moon girl around 9ish by turning off her profanity laced urban drama featuring nothing but drugs and bad language by flipping the tv to the average male’s bastion, FOOTBALL! So, after putting Moonlet, I had our very large tv all to myself during prime time football. When I sat down, it was halftime getting ready to start the third quarter. The score was 0-0. Now, I do appreciate good defense, but a touchdown every now and then makes things a lot more exciting. So, I figured the chances of seeing one would be good for me because in the entire history of Monday Night Football, someone had always scored at least one. Well, I was wrong. By the end of the third quarter, the score had ballooned to 3-0 with neither team really doing anything at all to move the ball. So, out of desparation and boredom, I fell back on option #2, the internet. I popped up the Foxnews score tracker and kept on eye on the game. I kept refreshing the screen because I thought it was broke. It wasn’t. The Jags scored two more field goals and that was it. Jags 9, Steelers 0. The lowest ( read more boring ) game in Monday Night Football history.

So, imagine my perverse chuckle when I read this teaser on Foxnews this morning:

Check out snapshots as the Steelers were shut out by the Jaguars in the lowest-scoring game in Monday night history.

As enticing as that teaser was, I passed.

duh Mayor and the magic thong

posted by Moonage

Next in line for very silly news that just doesn’t really seem to be worth repeating, but does, is the sad situation the Mayor of Gallatin Tennessee has gotten himself into.  Seems some local peeps wanted to make a movie using the Mayor’s office.  He obliged, citing anything to promote Gallatain is a good thing.  Well, this is what came of it:

Thong Girl III.  Now, people are pretty much sacrificing Mayor Don Wright, but from what I’ve seen of it, it’s lame, real lame.  No nudity, no sex, nothing to make it worse than PG-13.  It does however, make Nashville/Gallatin look real, real, silly.

Jessica Biel lesbian too?

posted by Moonage

After having a pretty much non-internet weekend due to the boy’s sudden desire to completely separate me from my computer of late, I had to do some catching up today.  I didn’t have to go very far to find something blogworthy.  My friends at Independent Sources were on a tear over the weekend apparently.  I should just recommend going there, but I need the hits.  So, here goes part I.

A while back I did a thingy on Jessica Biel, it looked something like this:

She had been voted Esquire’s sexiest woman alive.  Well guys, according to some, she’s not really on the male market at this time:

She kisses a babe, and then walks to her car.  Hot stuff I tell ya.  Hopefully she won’t come out of the closet and confess her secret fantasy with Joan Jett as well.

What a pair huh?  Now, when I said “think Jessica” so long ago, I meant Simpson and Electra, NOT Biel and Jett.

Before I get flamed, I need a LOT more evidence than a casual kiss to KNOW for sure Biel’s batting for the other team these days.

Why I haven’t blogged a lot lately

posted by Moonage

My production has dropped substantially of late. Especially on the weekends. Here’s why:

I have had trouble getting to it as of late. You’ll just have to pardon the interruptions for a bit.

The Supremes

posted by Moonage

I’ve always wanted to do my "Top" lists of all time for
different musicians.  Just never can seem to find the time.  The
reason I can’t find the time is when I start one, I tend to jump
in so deep with each "top" member that I forget what I was doing
in the first place.  This is has happened so many times I can’t
keep count.  It started to happen again, but I caught myself at
it and decided to jump right in.  My inaugural "top" list is
going to be a mixed mesh that is horribly disjointed.  As my
President Bush would say, my writing style regarding this topic,
is epileptic.  This will be the first entry for the "Top Female
Vocalists of ALL TIME".  Rather than just spewing a list like
others do, I’m going to tackle different performers on the list
individually.  So, you’ll just have to use the category thingy
over there ( —> ) to get the entire list as it evolves.  Without
further blabbering, here I go.

The Top Female Vocalist of All
Time, is….. (drum roll please), The combination of Mary Wilson,
Cindy Birdsong, and Diana Ross.  Otherwise known at the time as

The Supremes
.  Now, the Supremes rifled through band members
faster than you can hiccup ( that’s a Diana reference there, get
it? ).  Arguably Florence Ballard had more of an impact than
Cindy did.  However, for my vocalist tastes, Cindy Birdsong’s
voice was just absolutely perfect.  To me the vocals of "The
Love is Here and now you’re gone" are to this day the most
perfect combination of lead and backup vocals ever produced by
anyone.  This song is nearly
forty years old, and I still love it.  There may have been other
female vocalists who could do more with their individual voice,
but this combination of voices made for a sound that has been
unmatched since.

As per the norm in music, personalities and egos kept The
Supremes a revolving door till the finally disintegrated,
realistically in 1969, completely in 1977.  Diana Ross
particularly went on to a huge solo career.  However, she never
sounded nearly the same as she did in the 60’s.  As an
individual, I wouldn’t have her ranked at all.  As an early
Supreme, she’s a co-#1.  The Supremes were the perfect example
that the sum is often greater than the individual parts.

In addition to the sheer beauty of their sound, The Supremes
were quite successful, here’s a list ( the links are to sound
clips of the songs ):

The Supremes were also heavily emulated at the time, setting
the early standard for the Motown wall of sound.  The number of
girl bands emulating The Supremes that erupted onto the scene is
countless.  And, equally as important, they were one of the
early African American acts that kicked down the recording
industry’s reluctance to promote African American acts.

And, The Supremes influence has lasted for forty years.  My
personal favorite "remake" bar none would be the "Tainted
Love/Where Did Our Love Go" done by Softcell in 1981.  That song
is so good it re-entered the charts in 1991 and is still a
fixture in dance bars.  Even more recently, several Supremes
songs have been sampled in rap.  And, in 2000, VH1 saluted Diana
Ross as one of their all time greatest divas.

I’ve got a couple of samples below so you can hear what I’m
talking about.  Not only could they do it on vinyl, they could
do it live just as well.



Now you know why these lists are so slow for me to make!
