So I'm cleaning the nether regions of my closets and came across a couple of particularly foul items. Both will soon be available on ebay!
The first...something that Husband brought into the relationship. I have hated clowns (except for Bozo) for as long as I can remember and this heavy ceramic bank is the stuff of nightmares:
I mentioned this piece on a comment thread over at Redzilla's but the sheer horror of it warrants its own place here:
Show us an unforgettable memory from 2006.
I got to go home and meet my brother Charlie:
Apparently Charlie just walked onto my parents patio one day, friendly and sweet with no identification. They tried to locate the owners and took Charlie to someone who found he had an implanted chip. When they took him back to his owners my parents found that they were looking to find him a new home. My mother didn't want anything to do with it, but Charlie and Craig had already bonded. Mom quickly came around and loves that dog to pieces. He's just awesome, he's trained, smart, lovey, loyal and slobbery. He's the perfect
...but does he deserve to hang? Again, I'm well aware that he's one of the biggest assholes on the planet, but what exactly will a hanging accomplish that a lifetime prison sentence won't? Will it bring back the people he's slaughtered? Will it restore order in Iraq? (hahahahahahahaha)
What fucking year is this? Why don't we light him on fire and put it on pay-per-view while we're at it.
Show us something from the 80's.
I'm not embarrassing my sister this time - just myself (because I'm the one on the left and she's always been the cute one). How do you like them there glasses?? This was the first day in my life that I ever ate a savior and then drank his blood.
Video: Show us some great animation.
That's just freaking impressive. And it looks fabulous on DVD (unlike this clip). I loved this as a kid and was not disappointed revisiting it as an adult.To create the animation, over 85,000 hand-inked and painted cells were created and composited with the live-action backdrops, live-action characters, and hand-animated tone mattes (shading) and cast shadows using optical film printers. NO computer animation was used in creating the animations. Some scenes involved up to 100 individual film elements. Any live-action that had to be later composited was shot in VistaVision to take advantage of the double-area frame of the horizontal 35mm format.
What were your top 5 TV shows of 2006?
1. The Simpsons. I don't care what anyone says, I still love this show and will watch it until I'm old and gray. "I'm a unitard!" - Come on people - this stuff is still funny!
2. Family Guy. What's to say? Oh yes: "That was me farting by Chopin."3. American Dad. Each episode is better than the last. Love it.
4. My Name is Earl. I love this show. Randy cracks me up.
5. Rock Star Supernova. Don't tell anyone, but it was my first "reality" addiction. That shit is like television crack. But it's OK because it brought Storm Large to my attention. And now I can't get enough of her and her Balls.
