Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today is a day where families and friends get together and share their gratitude for what they have. I'm definitely grateful for my family and friends and also the internet! With the internet, I can share all sorts of stuff with folks like you, like THINGS I'M THANKFUL FOR! See, it all ties together.

First, cats: A website called Average Cats created a site that parodies the very famous site I Can has Cheezburger and is created by the folks behind My Life is Average. Essentially it's a factual cat image macro site. Pictures of cats with captions on them detailing truth.




Second, books: Apathy and Other Small Victories was recommended to me by friend and former guest Robbie. It's one of the funniest books I've ever read, right up there with Hitchhiker's and Scott Pilgrim. About a dude who wants to care about nothing and hijinks. Please read it.


Third, being alive: Rom Houben was in a car crash and presumed to be in a vegetative state after the fact. 23 years later, they find that he was not, but had "locked-in syndrome" where the patient is "unable to speak or move but can think and reason". For 23 years he was alive, awake and aware, with no way of telling anyone. At least the character in "Johnny Got his Gun" had morse code! Let's all be thankful for being alive and actually living.

QOTSA.

HEY GUYS. What is HAPPENING. So we dunno if you know this about us, but we (Dash and James) share a lot of similar interests. Like certain bands for instance. One of which is Queens of the Stone Age. And we decided to show you guys eight songs by them, four chosen by James and four by Dash. Take a listen and dig it.



"Auto Pilot" - R - This song shows that Nick, former bassist, has a great singing voice. It's groovetastic and takes its time. Also that harmonies are aweeeeesssome.

"Make It Wit Chu" - Era Vulgaris - Sexy ass sexiness. Makes you wanna dance with your person until all your clothes are off. So soft and smooth it's like you're getting a massage from the Stay-Puft marshmallow man. Great slow solo near the end. If this video doesn't get you in the mood you don't have any genitals.

"Go With the Flow" - Songs for the Deaf - One of their more famous tracks, but still incredibly killer. Fast, aggressive and one repeating keyboard note that will not stop. Makes you drive over the speed limit. Also the video is one of my favorites of all time.

"River in the Road" - Era Vulgaris - This shows how "serious" QOTSA can be. This song reminds of someone being paranoid and constantly running. The gutars are so trippy coming in and out all over the place. And Homme's singing is brilliant.

-James



"Mexicola" - Queens of the Stone Age - Starts with this super low, awesome bass. This song is the kind of slow, heavy, funky groove that I like most from the band. It makes me think of walking through the desert and tripping balls simply because the sun is so hot.

"In the Fade" - R - Mark Lanegan is the secret weapon of this band. This song has a pop bent that gets warped by his voice and also probably drugs.

"Burn The Witch" - Lullabies To Paralyze - Billy Gibbons!!!!!!!! I love the march quality to this song. Plus the boogie woogie.

"Mistfit Love" - Era Vulgaris - This song starts out kind of like the Michael Jackson song "Beat It" and then gets even more dangerous. It sounds like Josh Homme is using a rusty nail as a guitar pick. Homme often describes the band as "robot rock", this song is a great example of that.

Enjoy!

Movement!

Hey-o! How's everyone doing today? Well I hope. I would to show you a video I found on the internet. Now, this particular video isn't funny in any way. Nor does it show a person "epic failing." This video shows people (whose faces you never see) doing "things". All of which are random and to most people would seem trivial. This clip is full of kinetic energy and is very interesting to watch, and gratifying I think too. So take a look!

Hair.

Look, I get it. I'm a chunky dude with long hair and a beard. However, my name is Dash Coombs, not every other chunky dude with long hair and a beard.

This is Jack Black. Not me.

This is Jonathon Larroquette. Not me.

Neither of these gentlemen are me.

Nor the fellow on the right.

Silent Bob AKA not Dash Coombs.

Here I am!

Movie Fun!

Movies are great. And what's better than watching a movie? Watching compilations of movies in one fun-packed video on the internet! Here's a few!

First is one that shows clips from movies where a character says the title of the movie they are in:



Second is one showcasing one of the greatest cliches of the horror movie genre, problems with cell phones:



Third is 40 inspirational speeches made into one super-motivational video, if you watch this and don't save the world after, you're a robot:



And a lil bonus:

Now playing: Primus - Mama Didn't Raise No Fool

'Tis.

It's the Monday time when James and I DON'T post a podcast, and instead do a joint blog entry. Spike Lee, take note! Recently, movie studios have decided to try and make more money on shitty holiday movies by releasing them weeks or even months earlier than the real life event the film is about. SO, in an effort to capitalize on that, James and I are going to pitch three movies for the 2010 Halloween, Thanksgiving & "Holiday" season. Enjoy!

Halloween

Dash - The film is called "Spider.Web". This Halloween, find out what happens when the 'net spins you! A group of teenagers and the nine year-old computer genius that they're all babysitting go on a tour of Silicon Valley. Someone would make a joke about tits at this point...one of the dudes...or maybe a lady. Anyways, there are evil spiders living in the internet and every time one of the teenagers goes into someone's office to masturbate to sex blogs they are horrifically killed and consumed by them.

James - The movie is called "Jack O'Zombie". It's a few days after Halloween and a rotting Jack O'Lantern sits on a porch, all droopy-faced, until that night when a meteor hits nearby! A strange fog emanates from it and the hollowed out pumpkin comes to life! Now this ghoulish gourd has a hunger for brains to fill up its own empy head! Be on the look out! This stars 20 CGI clones of Megan Fox with Ron Perlman doing the voice of Jack.

Thanksgiving

Dash - This Thanksgiving, get "Stuff'd!!!!!!!". Dane Cook stars as a high-powered gun store owner who accidentally switches brains with a turkey. Abigail Breslin plays Cook's daughter, who finds the turkey and has to keep it hidden from their cuisine-crazy family...all of whom are played by the ghost of Peter Boyle.

James - Hey everyone, get ready to "Meat the Robinsons"! The Robinsons are a white, upper-class family in suburbia getting ready for Thanksgiving. They're Christian, they love family game night and have a dog named Pooky. Everything's going great until the week before Turkey day, a long lost cousin named Trianna drops in! She's a black, lesbiangayhomosexual, punk with an attitude. Not only that, she's a VEGAN. How can Thanksgiving happen without Turkey?! In the end, both the Robinsons and Trianna learn some valuable lessons. Also Trianna shows the Robinson kids porn. Trianna is played by Mo'Nique and The Robinsons are played by Martin Sheen as the dad, Diane Keaton as the mom, with Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen as the 12 year-old brothers.

Holidays

Dash - Her family wants them to get married on Christmas. His family wants them to get married during Hanukkah. They decide to enlist the help of their one black friend to convert to African-Americanism and get married on the third day of Kwanzaa. There will also be no less than eight talking dogs in this film and everyone must kill themselves immediately after leaving the theater. It's called "Fuck You". 49.7 million dollars projected opening weekend.

James - This holiday season, why don't you come on under the "Mistlenose"?! This movie is about Rhonda, a girl who lost her nose in a tragic Dungeons and Dragons accident and her only Christmas wish is to get a new one! Along on her quest are her friends Sammy and Tammy, twins who absolutely hate each other. They take a cross country road trip and pick up some hitchers who give out sage advice along the way. Rhonda is played by Miley Cyrus, the twins by Tia and Tamara Mowry, provided that they're not dead, and all of the hitchers by Morgan Freeman in different costumes.

Blood Fogs

(Hopefully that title will make sense in an almost droll way after you read on)

I am a chef's son. I am also the son of a vegetarian who is constantly creating new dishes to make her meals interesting. Food is important to me, I don't eat just for sustenance, I eat for pleasure and experience. I savor my food (most of the time) and love to try new things. I love watching cooking shows ("Kitchen Nightmares" [UK version] is probably my favorite) and enjoy cooking myself from time to time. So of course it makes sense that I like reading about food! And in this post I will share some of my favorite food blogs with you lovely people.

FIRST - THE FOOD PORNOGRAPHER



This blog is run by a...person from somewhere in the Australia/New Zealand area. I'm pretty sure the person is a lady, but they never show their face! Anyway, this blog is run by someone just like you and me, taking great photos of whatever they, or people near them, eat. It ranges from sushi take out, homemade past, family get-together meals to fast food. Whatever is eaten, it'll be documented. Along with the pictures comes a description of the meal and what they thought of it. Totally fun and neat if you're into pictures of food. To get started, maybe go to the page that has the owner of the blog's favorite posts.

SECOND - THIS IS WHY YOU'RE FAT



This blog is another food photos one, but with a specific intention: to showcase the absolute worst food for you possible. From a model of a stadium made entirely of snack foods to a parody/homage of an ice cream cone made from breakfast items, this blog is made for the glutton in us. What's interesting is that I would not eat probably 85% of the food in these posts, but it's still great to read about them. I guess I'm down with trying to get heart disease through the blog vicariously. Indulge with your eyes my friends!

THIRD - FANCY FAST FOOD

(This is the dish created in the video below)

I've come across this one fairly recently, and I have to say that the idea behind it is incredible. I'll let the blog's creator explain:

These photographs show extreme makeovers of actual fast food items purchased at popular fast food restaurants. No additional ingredients have been added except for an occasional simple garnish.

You can't even add water when re-preparing these dishes! And it's not just a before and after photo set you see, they give you the full recipe on how to create these faux-fancy dishes. Sometimes they turn out great, but as you will see in this video, sometimes they are terrible.



Till next time, eat your heart out!
