Friday Combo Platter: Your One-Stop Shop for the Most Absurd Videos on the Internet Edition
Well, hello! And apologies for the unexpected hiatus! I had some pretty serious computer problems over the holidays. For the record: I don't recommend being snowed in and internetless. It makes life...kind of suck.
To get back into the swing of things, here's a meandering thread from our email lists that culminates in a bizarre exchange of YouTube videos. Please note that the computer that I am using does not have speakers. So I watched all of these in silence. And I think I need a Valium now.
Sweetney: I really need the internet to stop kicking me in the balls (or trying to), and to construct a refreshing oasis of MamaPop goodness. Anyone got anything?Miss Banshee: My darling little friend Jeffrey has begun a blog about "horror movies from the gay perspective" and it is HILARIOUS. I am trying to find a reason to interview him for the site, cause seriously, he is tremendous. Here's the link: http://faggotyasshorror.blogspot.com/
[insert some mutterings about BlogHer. YES, WE'RE ALREADY ON THAT SHIT.]
Out-Numbered: Looking forward to having y'all at my home base... We will light this town on FIRE!
SnarkyAmber: It's very unlikely I'll be going this year.
TwoBusy: No way am I going to miss this year. That's pretty much my New Year's Resolution.
Sweetney: WOOT! Dude, I can't wait to hang out with you, for reals.
MissBanshee: I'm saving my pennies. I'd love to attend the whole shebang, though. PLOT IS IN MOTION. SPARKLE MOTION.
Jodifur: I'm not going to blogher this year. Boo hiss.
Karen Sugarpants: I'm not going to BH either kids. Nursing school is spendy.
SnarkyAmber: Are there, like, scholarships for broke-ass bitches who are having a totally shitty life and really need to get drunk with other bloggers and, between parties, maybe learn shit about blogging? Because if so, point me toward the application I need to fill out.
Out-Numbered: You can stay at my house...
kdiddy: Will you still be a student then? Your school might have conference funds and since you're writing/communications/rhetoric it's totally relevant. I'm sure there's a way.
Sweetney: I'm pretty sure every year BlogHer has scholarships... Maybe look over on blogher.com?
Karen Sugarpants: Wow. Mind officially blown.
Adam P. Knave: Who doesn't love crazyassed prog rock?
Palinode: "You know what guys? Fuck the lyrics, I'm gonna yodel my way through this one."
Karen Sugarpants: that dude defined tweaking. i'm certain. his eyes slay me.
Out-Numbered: Sorry but I think it's silly. When they have three drummers, come and get me. My roots are here:
Out-Numbered: And the power...
Palinode: I want to see a sensitive folk cover of Battle Hymn. But still with three insane drummers.
Karen Sugarpants: This will forever be my favorite YouTube video:
Palinode: Holy mother of Satan.
Out-Numbered: This guy plays a keg, so he wins I guess...
Karen Sugarpants: I just blared the whole video & Daren is trying to watch sports. He wants to kill me now and threatened to throw his fork at my laptop.
Out-Numbered: Fuck! Football is on. Bye.
Karen Sugarpants: Go Cowboys! (well, at 4 p.m. anyway)
Palinode: I think this guy would make a great addition to Manowar, if you picture him holding drumsticks:
Karen Sugarpants: hahaha who doesn't love the loris?
Sweetney: Charlie would like for me to share this with you:
BEST. MUSIC VIDEO. EVAR.
Out-Numbered: This was obviously before they had Paula Abdul doing their choreography.
Palinode: I love disco. Everybody was smiling all the time. It was a time when people said, Hey, let's go out in the woods and celebrate our Native American brethren with a camera and a huge bag of cocaine.

Our comment of the week is from diamondcait on SnarkyAmber's fantastic post about Steel Magnolias (*fist bumps Amber*):
One of the bigger regrets of my failed marriage is not having the armadillo cake. Oh, and not marrying a cheating sumbitch. But I regret the cake more.

On a related note, ever heard the Richard Cheese cover of Slipknot? Hilarious stuff.
