What I'm Watching

And in the beginning . . .

I haven't read it, but The Clash have released a book, all written in their own words, detailing how the band started out and how they got together simply title The Clash. You can read a bit about the book and some passages from the book here. I'd like to give this one a read, so if you do get this book lemme borrow it when you're done with it, would you?

Thanks.

Wanna see something cool? Of course, we all do. Well how about a mummified 12 year old McDonald's hamburger that looks as appealing (or appalling, depending on the person) on the day it was hatched under Ronald McDonald's vengeful gaze. When have to wonder how this burger can do so well and last so long in the wild, when they stay inside me for such very short periods of time? One of the mysteries of modern science I suppose.
.
While we're talking fast food, how's about a side by side comparison of the food from the ads compared to the stuff you get in the restaurant. We all know from personal experience that things just don't match up from the ads and in real life, but it is interesting to actually see it right in front of your eyes like that. I mean it's not often I'm lucky enough to be jamming an A&W Uncle Burger down my pie hole while watching the TV ad for it.
.
BTW - I found the Uncle Burger a little disappointing, it was missing something taste wise, but that's just my opinion. Great name for a sandwich though and the mascot has a sweet little 'stache. Almost expect that the Uncle in the burger family is still single and shows up to family BBQ's in a gold TA, pinches Mama's bottom, drinks all Papa's beer, makes the kids more than a little uncomfortable and don't even get me started on how Grandpa feels about it all.
.
Or maybe I'm just projecting.
.
And now for something completely different; ever shop at American Apparel? Yeah me either, seems that most of the clothing buys lately are coming from Mark's Work Wearhouse, but I have to say that American Apparel's ads are pretty interesting, someone has compiled 30 of their favourite, which happen to be their porniest, here. I'm sure their catalog's are a big hit with the barely pubescent boy set, that shit's way better than Nat-Geo ever was.
.
Seems that there's a bit of a kerfuffle over nurses in the UK and after reading this article I'm not sure what that problem is. Some Lord has a bad experience, in his opinion, with his nurses while in hospital and then has this to say:
.
"The nurses who looked after me were mostly grubby - we are talking about dirty fingernails and hair - and were slipshod and lazy. Worst of all, they were drunken and promiscuous".
.
I don't know about you, but these girls sound like they're a pretty good time.
.
MMMMMMMMMMMMM dirty nurses.
.
From fast and loose to fast and loose, check out this cool race between a motorcycle, a Porsche and a fighter jet. You might be surprised at how this one shapes up.
.
Well that's her for now - but did you know that if you do a Google Image Search for Dirty Nurses with your safety filter off the first pic to come up links back to a page on here? That and the Drew Barrymore flashing Dave Letterman on his show account for a whole lot of my traffic.
