They Came From a Land of Ice & Snow

To take you to a gay bar?

.

Huh?

.

Wha?

.

Yep it's none other than the Viking Kitties (you must remember them? No? Does this jog your memory?) and they're back again, and this time they're covering the Electric Six's Gay Bar. You can check out the Viking Kittie's version here.

.

Man now I want a stuffed Viking Kitty toy again . . . and there's more Viking Kitty gear here and all sorts of other cool gear from Rathergood here.

.

If you didn't know, the Electric Six is the band responsible for the song in this Japanese SUV commercial with the Sumos washing the car. But you probably already knew that. This is just me but I think that every sexy car wash scene, or a parody of one, in anything is a rip of this scene from Cool Hand Luke. No idea where they stole it from, but man that's h-o-t-t hott.

.

And here's my music suggestion for the day - if you like the Electric Six, you may also like hedonistic rock stylings of Norway's own Turbonegro. But I'm sure you already do.

.

I don't know about you, but this video by the Czech band Kabat, for a song about Bruce Willis none the less, has me wishing for a Babel fish or at least a working knowledge of the Czech language . . . but honestly I think we all know the first one is more likely. Since I have to accept I'll never really know what Kabat thinks of Bruno I'll have to settle for Canadian Bands singing songs about David Lee Roth. Okay, one Canadian band, singing one song about DLR.

.

And don't forget, today is the 27th anniversary of the death of Jim Morrison . . . huh lived to 27 and it's been 27 years since he died. Where are you Mr. Mojo Risin?

.

From music to movies, how about this teaser poster for Rob Zombie's upcoming film Tyrannosaurus Rex (a 2009 release?), with possibly the most bad ass tag line for anything ever. Seriously, you try to top that. I think that might become my new motto or slogan or mission statement or whatever you wanna call it.

.

And don't forget, only fifteen more days until the release of The Dark Knight. Man if you live in a city or other place where movies get shown on their release dates (sometimes, when it's open, our local theatre shows movies after they've been released on DVD) and you aren't there for this one on opening night you must be crazy . . . or don't have a living room littered with action figures (speaking of action figures aren't these pretty cool? Yeah I thought so too). . . or have an active social life that doesn't revolve around debating how Batman is better than Superman or the latest in animated television . . . or how awesome retro animated TV is.

.

Rocket Robin Hood anyone? If this wasn't one of my favourite rerun cartoons that used the same clips over and over again I don't know what was. Even as a kid I realised that they were using some of the same scenes in this show and the animated Spiderman (another great opening sequence and a great cover by the Ramones). I guess I was always somewhat cynical.

.

Remember The Ballad of Rocket Robin Hood? I bet you do, what a great opening sequence, or the various interludes between the episodes of the show? Which was your favourite? Such good TV.

.

How about a little Mighty Hercules? Here's a site with a series of nice screen caps form the show, in case you want to reminisce a bit about a day when all you needed was a magic ring and a sweet pompadour to kick the ass of any monster (all of which sounded the same . . . take a moment and make the Hercules monster noise with me . . . . there wasn't that fun?). I bet you're singing the song from the show's opening right now aren't you?

.

Oh my wasted youth . . . and my wasted young adult life, and likely my wasted middle age, and wasted golden years, watching cartoons.

.

Oh well, how about a little giggity? Thought you'd like that, so here's Dita Von Teese from the July issue of the German Maxim, with twice the pee and four times the schaiser than your boring North American Maxim.

.

And I'll sign off with something from the I had no idea files . . . looks like there's guys out there who get off on pics of hot, or trashy depending on how you look at it, girls with the cars stuck. Yeah for serious, here's pics . . . of the girls with the stuck cars (snow, ice, sand, whatever you're into. Me now that I know these pics are out there I want to see hot chicks with cars stuck in mashed potatoes. Don't ask why I just do) not the guys enjoying the pics. But I'm sure there are people out there who'd get off on that.

.

Me I'll stick to midget porno like a regular dude and be proud of it, thanks.
