Since yesterday’s clip was a little dirty I decided today’s should be a little more wholesome. From Emmit Otter’s Jugband Christmas comes a fun song about BBQ. If this don’t make your toe tap you’re a grinch. There, I said it. What memories this brought back!
In todays clip Peter Griffen of the “Family Guy” sings us our favorite Christmas songs. Maybe even funnier that the clip itself is, as of this posting, it’s the first thing that comes up when you enter “christmas” into youtube’s search engine.
Day eleven’s clip “Skeletor Find The Christmas Siprit”, is actually from the He-Man Christmas special from 1985. Somebody out there thinks it’s the greatest Christmas story ever told. And if you’re really a freak, here is the bit torrent for the whole movie.
For the twelve days leading up to Xmas I’ll be posting a funny Holiday clip for your viewing enjoyment. For day twelve we have the Marin Scorsese picture “Raging Rudolph”. Enjoy.
I’ve decided that four day weekends are what it’s all about.
Thanksgiving day was a raging success. We hosted about 10 people at our table, 11 if you count big bird, and I do, I do count her. She made herself into a wonderful turkey soup the next day as well. Soup on Saturday is probably the best part of Thanksgiving if you don’t include the friends, family, football, movies, beer, blankets, couch, stuffing, phone calls, babies, kids, pets, coziness, naps, wine, no-worky-ness, and you. Which I do, I’d feel bad about not counting those things, mostly because they count more than anything else, holiday or not. The turkey soup is good though. G slaved away all day cooking the feast for all of us. She was so wiped out by the end of the day that she was asleep by 9:00 that night. Neither of my parents were here for thanksgiving dinner for the first time in my life which may have been the only bummer of the entire weekend.
The majority of the weekend involved the list in the above paragraph, with a little bit of extra stuff stuck in there for good measure.
Thanks!
Today is June 6th, 2006 (6/6/06), and that can only mean one thing National Slayer Day!!! From the web site:
6.6.06 isn’t a date that comes around very often (once per millennium, to be exact), and while plenty of stupid horror movies and terrible albums will be released for the hype value of the day that bears “the number of the beast”, we here at NDoS decided that this would be a perfect day for Hessians across the country to come together and engage in something upon which we can all agree – listening to Slayer! Also, do you really want those evangelical Neo-Cons to have all the fun with their “National Day of Prayer”?
I’m trusting that each and every one of you have “Reign In Blood” in your CD collection so I have decided that for my part, I will post a few covers of Slayer song for you to listen to. Turn your speakers up to 11 now!
First off we have som a capella Slayer with Japanese beatboxer, Dokaka, playing “Angel Of Death”
After that we have some classical (not classic, that’ll come later) Slayer with the String Quartet playing “Expendable Youth”
Next is Wckr Spgt perfoming a folkish version of “South Of Heaven”
Here is the just plain wierd Dictionaraoke performing “South Of Heaven”
On a more nerdy note we have “Angel Of Death” played on a NES Chip
And for something harder, here is Vader doing a live cover of “Raining Blood”
Lastly is a few short clips of live Slayer banter in between songs.
Remember, DO NOT use headphones! The objective of this day is for everyone within earshot to understand that it is the National Day of Slayer. National holidays in America aren’t just about celebrating; they’re about forcing it upon non-participants.
Below is a video of classic Slayer, in their heyday of 1985, playing “The Antichrist” live at Studio 54. Slayer owns your soul!
And oh yeah, Slayer is playing the Filmore on Friday.
