DVD!!! DVD!!!

Wow, a new post! And almost three weeks from my last---I must be improving!!

Being a lurker on the UK website
Zeta Minor, home to the Roobarb's DVD Forum (no, I haven't posted yet; I just enjoy pissing myself laughing at some of the posters' hysterically snarky comments on UK telly and film), it got me to thinking of my own somewhat lousy DVD collection.

Off the top of my head, I can safely say it is rather bizarre. I've got UK telly, crappy (yet for me quite enjoyable) movies from the $5 bin at Wal-Mart, a few TV shows, a couple documentaries, and comedies galore. Someday I'm actually going to try and sort the damn collection out and see which ones I've watched and which ones I haven't even opened. Who knows, maybe I'll even review a few.

Oooh, before I forget, here's some YouTube treats:

• 80s HBO....you know you remember this.
• More old school, this time featuring ABC on Saturday morning
• British kiddie fare with a slightly adult bent. This is the classic UK kids show Rainbow (kinda like our Sesame Street except there's only three puppet types, and one sounds like a Dalek). The first two clips are from the Thames Television Christmas tape (something made by the VT, or video tape, crews from the UK television channels and featured all sorts of naughty bits and swearing. There's a BBC one I particularly enjoy, but I forgot the link.) featuring the show's host, the puppets, and their musical friends extolling the virtues of playing with your twangers and your balls.
• And for my GSN Buzz friends, a classic Showcase Showdown from a '91 airing of The Price is Right

Good bite!!

It's Midnight....Do You Know Where Your Blogger Is?

No, I haven't been in witness protection or anything like that. More like "Lazy Bitch Syndrome." It's been a little while since I actually posted some stuff on here, and you know what? My resolution was to try to update this thing more frequently. Whoops.

Well, it's been a lil' quiet on the home front. Little Ally is now ten months. Turd Boy is two semesters away from a college degree. I finally got a Grover plushie. The football gods finally blessed us with the upset of the century....even though it's only 2008. Now it's racing time, and baseball is around the corner. The Brewers should be interesting to watch, even though they always find a way to freakin' choke. I can hardly wait.

Err, and now it's Lent. As you can tell, I didn't give up obscenities. The little pink bunny piggy bank is laughing at me, because now it's time for my infamous Lenten Swear Jar. A nickel a cuss, and if I ever start on a topic about Britney Spears, that may be a few bucks right there. Unfortunately, baseball starts after Easter for once, so cursing the Twinkies and FuCubbies won't count.

I've been hitting YouTube more than ever. There's some truly funny shit on there. I linked to the Max Headroom clip a few months ago, and there's other great stuff. I'll try to link to those, especially the real funny stuff. I think the first installment will be the greatest Mario emulator ever played. Or the Rainbow "twangers" clip.

Well, it looks like it's almost 12:30, and it's time to hit the sack. This weekend I'm going for an eye checkup, which means new frames. I see the Drew Carey look may be back in vogue thanks to that new gig he has. Hmmm....
