Lame-ass lyrics
2008-06-03 21:32:00 I was doing the washing up last night, listening to the shabby local radio station - "Radio Aire best of the 80s,90s and now!" - In defence, the missus was helping, it seemed a fair deal. Anyway, I hear this inspid plodding rock song which I hadn't heard before. I immediately recognise the faux-growl as Nickelback. Normally this wouldn't wind me up too much - Nickelback happens. What really wound me up were the song's lyrics. A sample of my favourite rhyming couplets: read more
Bush At His Shrink: The Lame-Duck Session
2008-06-03 16:25:00 by Bernard Weiner "I'm with my closest colleagues at the top of Mt. Everest. Below us on the snow, or maybe it's white sand, are thousands of bloody bodies. Suddenly, I see a line of approaching figures, armed with pitchforks and clubs, coming up the mountain. At first, I'm happy because they're carrying an American flag, but then I realize they're coming after me, led by a Toy Soldier wearing black. I turn around to figure out a counter-attack strategy with my key aides, but I'm all alone. I hear myself shout: 'A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!' And then I wake up, sitting bolt-upright in bed, trembling and covered in sweat." "And that's the dream that brought you back here, Mr. President?" "Well, that one and at my wife's and physician's insistence. They seem to feel I'm in bad shape and could use your help." "And you? What do you feel?" "Those times we talked before?** You made me really angry. You forced me to face...

Scott McClellan WAYLAYS Lame-Duck President “Surge” W. Bush In
2008-05-28 13:05:00 Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan Admits To Aiding And Abetting President Bush In Deceiving The American People Into “Rubber-Stamping” Invasion Of Iraq… We’re all going to be “o-pining” on Scotty McClellan’s new book over the next few weeks instead of incarcerating him and his former boss on charges of intentionally conspiring to defraud the American Public into agreeing to allow our military forces to INVADE a sovereign nation based upon what “Scotty-boy” himself NOW admits was nothing more than Bush Administration “propaganda”. The man and his former boss, at the VERY least, should be under scrutinous federal investigation and most probably, wearing black-and-white jumpsuits in a federal penetentiary while awaiting trial, should these allegations prove to be TRUE. For example — let’s say a buddy of mine robbed a bank and I knew about it all along. The media, knowing I’m a close ...
Anderson comes up lame
2008-05-24 05:28:00 Marlon Anderson attempted to beat out a ground ball and came up lame. Anderson left the game immediately and was replaced by Fernando Tatis. Initial reports were that Anderson has a strained hamstring, my guess is that he's heading to the disabled list. I felt the team needed to obtain an outfielder when Alou went down and now I think it's imperative. I was surprised when the Mets didn't recall Val Pascucci when Alou went down but now it's almost certain that he's coming up. The big right hander is hitting .293 with a .671 Slg. pct, but he's a defensive liability which leaves the team with one defensive replacement in Endy Chavez who is only batting .167 and hasn't looked the same since he injured his hammy last year. The Mets now have Beltran, Church, Chavez, Tatis, Easley and Pascucci (probably) for the outfield which tells me they need to make a move. Metsblog reported that Jose Valentin made a rehab start and hopefully he'll be replacing Casanova soon, the team doesn't ...

You're So Lame: Simon Says S**t

He was more into the S&M action she was confessing in front of God and Everyone: Miz Carly orders the biggest stage hand thug to spank her before she goes on stage. "It provides me with some external pain so I can forget the internal shit." Has time for the pain... Via Johnny Dollar's Place. Thanks for the tip!I have two words: Beta blockers.

The Best Emotion That's So Lame It's Cool.
2008-04-26 18:07:00 Okay, I started this early, and I'm ending it early. I'm not ending it because I can't keep it up, but I'm bored with it. By now, you get the point: Things can be so lame they're cool, because The Coolness Continuum dictates that.And those "things" can include things that aren't things at all, like "emotions." Emotions are not things. They're... something that's not a thing. And the lamest of all emotions is "love."Love is, as an emotion, hopelessly lame. There are cool emotions, emotions that are just perfect the way they are. Like "happiness." Nothing wrong with "happiness." Happiness is awesome. Happiness makes you laugh along with the thing Joel McHale says. Happiness lets you walk with a bounce in your step. Happiness helps you get out of bed in the morning.Another cool emotion? Righteous indignation. This one is underused, but is very cool. It's not just being indignant, but righteously so -- so smack, there, in the description, you've got permission to feel indignan...

Multiple attack from Scott Weiland to VR: LAME!

The departure of Scott and the others of Velvet Revolver have almost turned into a media joke. The other week I read about Scott being a stoner jack-ass to the other bandmates and told the audience that this tour ...

Lame way to tackle Fuel Prices
2008-04-22 22:47:00 The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) announced yesterday that motorists would get at least 15 hours notice to buy petrol before prices increased under a government fuel monitoring scheme.Some points of note from the announcement were:- The ACCC will operate the scheme, which is expected to start by the end of the year and will give consumers information about the next day's petrol prices via text messages, email or website.- Consumers will know when the price is going to increase or decrease and they can therefore defer their buying until they (fuel prices) get to their lowest points."- Every petrol station that was part of the scheme would be required to lodge with the ACCC their proposed fuel price for the following day. The ACCC would then publish those prices within one hour of the information being lodged. The price would apply from 6am the following day for 24 hours.- "More importantly through SMS services, through email and through our website, you will ...
The Best Musical Instrument That's So Lame It's Cool
2008-04-20 02:44:00 Among my many hidden talents are the ability to play several musical instruments. Or to almost play several musical instruments. That is, I play a couple of instruments, and I almost-play a couple of instruments.The instruments I can play are the guitar, and the piano. I'm way better at the piano, including knowing by memory a couple of very impressive songs that I can just sit down and tear into. You have to be able to do that because if you play an instrument and people find out they will always ask you to play something, and if you say "Oh, well, I need my sheet music to play that" then they think you're just a big liar, because real musicians can just sit down and play something.Like in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which Sweetie and I saw on a date last night, when [SPOILER ALERT INVOLVING A DATE AND A FUNNY SONG] the guy who is trying to forget Sarah Marshall is at a bar and his date asks him to play a song from his Dracula musical, he gets up there and just plays it. That's w...
The Best Comic Strip That's So Lame It's Cool.
2008-04-18 17:39:00 I'm kind of cheating again here, because I've already picked one Comic Strip in a Best Category. But that was over two years ago, and also was only a one-panel comic, and also was long before I started Lame/Cool month, and it was long before I discovered "Buttersafe."There are, as I've found out, a zillion webcomics out there. The Internet, so kind to aspiring writers like me, is also kind to aspiring cartoonists and has thrown open the door to those whose sense of humor is, simply put, awesome, but whose sense of humor, at the same time, is the kind of thing people would not expect to see in their morning papers. There is, I estimate, zero chance that "Buttersafe" will ever appear in a newspaper, and not just because its strips are unusually formatted and long, but also because its strips feature Skeleton Harvesters:I stumbled onto Buttersafe, and immediately was drawn to it the way I'm drawn to other lame things -- and I immediately noted it as lame, because it's drawn weird ...
The Best Correction To The Correction Of A Lame Interpretation of A Song.
2008-04-18 17:20:00 The controversy goes on! All the way back on Wednesday, I gave you "Come Sail Away" as The Best Plot Twist In A Song Which Makes A Lame Song Cool." I noted in that article that the angels/aliens maybe didn't take the guy with them because the singer says they climbed aboard their starships, not we climbed aboard.Then, I corrected myself after having listened to the song again, and decided that in fact the singer explained that, no, he'd gone with the aliens, so everything was okay.But then, I remembered that I'm never wrong, so I did some research -- research being Googling "Come Sail Away" lyrics. And this is what I found: nearly every website that I checked agreed with my original interpretation:LyricsFreak.com- says it's:I thought that they were angels, but to my surpriseThey climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skiesSinging come sail away, come sail awaySo does Seeklyrics.com and LyricsDepot.But, again: Sing365.com has it as "We," as does StLyrics, although they q...
RECAPPING The Best Of Lame/Cool
2008-04-18 16:53:00 More than halfway through the month. They said it couldn't be done. Didn't they? Or did they? Well, it can be done. The Best of Everything has and will spend the entire month of April celebrating The Best of Things That Are So Lame They're Cool.Things like:Nonfiction books about lame/cool topics., Or things like music that was brought back by the two greatest forces for social change in the world, Or things like movies your kids make you watch but which turn out to be pretty good because of the songs in themAnd including things like TV shows you wouldn't guess are so cool, guys who should be on TV more, superheroes who can't be gotten rid of, food that defies Newton's laws, this guy, places you can take the whole family and they'll actually have fun, and my ideal pet. Oh, and this other guy, and a song you can't live without hearing.
The Best Correction of A Lame Interpretation of A Song
2008-04-17 15:19:00 I have a correction to make. Yesterday, in discussing The Best Plot Twist In A Song Which Makes A Lame Song Cool, I said this:But wait... don't get too comfy, because these, in fact, are not angels, they are aliens, with a starship that heads towards the skies! And possibly still takes the guy with him! (I say possibly because if you look at the lyrics closely, you'll see that the singer says they climbed aboard their starships and headed for the skies, not we or I and they or something. So it's possible that the alien angels came, showed the guy how great life could be, and then flew away, leaving him more morose than ever. But I don't like to think about that option.)Then I went home and was feeding the Babies! dinner and listening to music -- something we usually do when Sweetie is gone at night; dinner consisted mostly of cookies -- and listened more closely and found that in fact, the singer says: "we climbed aboard their starship..."So that's a relief. It wasn't just the...
The Best of Lame/Cool: The Best Plot Twist In A Song Which Makes A Lame So
2008-04-16 16:07:00 Since April is continuing, lame/cool month continues.We all love a good plot twist, don't we? We all love it when a story suddenly takes a dramatic turn in an unexpected direction that makes us very glad that we only got a medium soda so that we were not in the bathroom when it happened, whatever "it" is -- it might be [MAN THERE ARE A LOT OF SPOILERS IN THIS PARAGRAPH, SO JUMP AHEAD IF YOU LIKE ENTERTAINMENT AND THINGS] Morgan Freeman being a kidnapping cop, or Darth actually being Luke's dad, or Mr. Furley thinking that Jack's hot date is actually a sailor who dresses up like a girl.Okay, that last one was not a plot twist. But it's still among the greatest stories ever told in the history of human civilization.Now check out this plot twist:A guy is sitting around, musing about how his life has taken some turns for, if not the worse, at least the mediocre. He's missed out on the pot of gold, even though he's the Captain on board. So he's just trying, best as he can, to caaa...
The Best of Lame/Cool: The Best Pet Which Is So Lame It's Cool.
2008-04-15 23:14:00 This gets harder and harder every day, because while lots of things are The Best and lots of things are Lame and lots of things are Cool, there are not a lot of things that are so Lame they're Cool and are also The Best of those things. So how about a little credit here?There is a secret purpose to this nomination: I am secretly researching this pet because I think it would be a good pet for the Babies! but Sweetie is opposed to getting them a pet -- any pet-- because we have three cats and because the Babies! are only 19 months old. So I am preparing a case to convince Sweetie that it is a good idea to get this pet for the Babies! at some point in the near future, and this nomination is a test run.I don't have to worry about Sweetie finding out that's what I'm doing, because Sweetie doesn't care much for The Best of Everything. Sweetie only rarely reads what I write, in the first place, since she is treated to the raw version of it at home. She reads some of it; she read my st...

New USB Designs Are Nothing More Than Lame

The Best of Lame/Cool: The Best Actor Who's So Lame He's Cool.
2008-04-14 17:14:00 Lame/cool month rolls on! A show of hands from everyone who secretly believes that the actors we see are actually a lot more like their characters than they would have us believe, so much like their characters, in fact, that they are indistinguishable from their characters?Also, a show of hands from people who think I'm being sexist by saying "actor" in that paragraph? Zing-- got you. It's not sexist at all because when I say "actor" I mean "men and women who act." I can't stand those people who change "waiter" and "waitress" to "waitron" as though in between bringing appetizers, the waiter is slinging glowing frisbees at the Master Control Program.(I recently rented Tron on DVD from my local library. Expect lots of Tron references over the next couple of days, until the high wears off.)Explaining by people don't need to invent words to describe things in nonsexist ways is just one of the many services I provide you, gratis. So, again: you don't need to have "waitrons." A "wait...
The Best of Lame/Cool: The Best Comedian Who's So Lame He's Cool.
2008-04-13 20:34:00 April is Lame/Cool month-- the month I'm taking to explain (drive into the ground) the concept of things that are so lame they're cool. Let's all take a look at Jim Gaffigan over there on the left, before we consider how I'm kind of cheating here.What do you think? Granted, comedians are not exactly the most photogenic bunch of people. They probably developed comic abilities as a protective mechanism against people picking on them or turning them down for dates or otherwise rejecting or criticizing them. (I got rejected and picked on plenty, but never developed the comic abilities that some great comedians did. I did develop a pretty healthy set of neuroses, though, and those neuroses serve as their own form of protection.)(I hope.)(Those neuroses also serve to make me realize just how crazy I am, such as when I'll decide to have a bite-sized cookie, just one, at 9:00 p.m., and just after I swallow it, my collar feels tight, and my neck feels fatter, and I can almost feel my ch...
The Best Of Lame/Cool: Recap
2008-04-13 01:49:00 Keeping up with Lame/Cool Month? I know you are. But just in case, here's what you should have read about:My hero: Linus. The book Longitude. The Superhero The Atom. My favorite kind of music: Swing Music. The candy bar The Boy said is "So Awesome:" Charleston Chews. The movie Middle made me watch and I liked it:"Bring It On." Your venue for racing pigs: State Fairs. The latest TV show to win me over: "My Name Is Earl." See you tomorrow!
The Best of Lame/Cool: The Best Peanuts Character Who's So Lame He's Cool.
2008-04-12 18:04:00 There should be a personality test based on which "Peanuts" character you most identify with.As it turns out, there are 51,500 of them. So I'm right, in the sense that I thought there should be such a thing and bango!, there were 51,500 of them. Look at the power I hold over the world.Bango, you may also know, was not just an expressive term used to show how quickly one man, acting alone, could create 51,500 "Peanuts Personality Tests." It also was the Milwaukee Bucks' mascot back before everything had to be all tough and gangster-y. So the Bucks went from this:To this:And it didn't help much because people still didn't like the Bucks; in fact, it might have hurt because people like me who might have bought Bucks gear, if I liked basketball, which I don't, but if I did I might have bought Bucks gear, would not buy the new Buck but I would conceivably have bought the old Bango the buck.If I were to take all 51,500 of those Peanuts Personality tests, I like to think they show I'...

The Best of Lame/Cool: The Best TV Show That's So Lame It's Cool
2008-04-11 17:40:00 Lame/Cool Month Continues: Things can be so lame that they're cool, as explained by The Coolness Continuum.I want to compare two things for a moment. Allow me to hold up, side-by-side, two different sitcoms for you to stare at in the harsh light of day/harsh light of your computer monitor/harsh light of your own cold reasoning:On one side is Three's Company:On the other side is Arrested Development, which I would love to show you a clip of but I can't because the makers of Arrested Development don't want you to watch their show; they will only allow you to see it on their own website and won't even let me put a clip up here even though putting a clip up here would benefit them because you would see it and then want to go to their website to watch more and maybe buy the DVDs, and they'd make money. So the makers of Arrested Development are very funny people but they are also shortsighted.Still, even though you can only watch part of one of them, think about those two shows a mi...
Speaking of lame/cool:
2008-04-11 17:36:00 Periodically, I like to update you on what else I've been doing beyond teaching you what's The Best. So here we go:This week, I explained why we need more yodel outros and fewer squirrels on "Thinking The Lions" (Life, only funnier.)Then I told you how the Olympics suck but I offered a fix -- and it involves Karate! on Nonsportsmanlike Conduct!Plus, I updated you on the Shaw Twins on Babies! Babies! Pets! Pets!-- you should know about these amazing little boys and you should also help them.You can do both -- learn and help-- by going to "Caring Bridge," where they have a site with photos and a journal. And you can help the Shaws with medical bills and other expenses by sending a contribution to: Mateo and McHale Shaw Irrevocable SNTC/O Kohler Credit Union850 Woodlake RoadKohler, WI 53044 All that, and I still had time to update Rachel's adventures in Hell and start a new story about a little boy that is tormented by a demon. How do I do it all? I'm awesome.
The Best of Lame/Cool: The Best Event That's So Lame It's Cool.
2008-04-10 18:13:00 Lame/cool month continues. There were those who said I couldn't keep it up. Those people underestimated my ability to take on the impossible. The impossible like improving a joke. Which I did. Here's the original joke:Q: What's green and fuzzy and has four legs and if it fell out of a tree on you would kill you?A: A pool table.Funny, right? My nephew thought so. My six-year-old nephew and I overlap a great deal in our senses of humor. But I made the joke even better:Q: What's green and fuzzy and has four legs and if it fell out of a tree on you would kill you?A: A moldy cow.Now THAT is a good joke. So don't bet against me. I can do anything if I set my mind to it.If you are or have ever been part of a family, then you probably have gone to a family event. I'm not talking about holiday parties like Christmas Eve. Based on my own experiences, those are not in any way "family events." Christmas Eve and other holiday get-togethers are hours-long excursions into tedium and/or bragg...
The Best Of Lame/Cool: The Best Word That's So Lame It's Cool
2008-04-09 16:52:00 The Best of Lame/Cool Month continues here on The Best of Everything, as I set out for you those things that are so lame that they go all the way around and become cool.You know what's lame? Beginning anything with the dictionary definition. That is so lame. So if you have to write an article, make a speech, give a toast, tell your boss why you need a raise, propose to your girlfriend, convince your wife that you need to keep watching Battlestar Galactica, or locate the other twin who you can't find but you're pretty sure that he was in the kitchen just a minute ago, beginning it with "Webster's defines..." is lame.So, with that, let me jump in with both feet to tell you what The Best Word That's So Lame It's Cool is. And I will not be looking at any dictionary definitions to help explain it. The word is Gonzo.(I thought about going with "Huzzah," but decided against it because Gonzo is, simply put, too lame and too cool to not win this category. It is, simply put, the perfect...

Lame Political Discourse: Part 3
2008-04-06 20:56:00 Until the Pennsylvania primaries two weeks from now, there is not much new going on in the political world. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are still fighting each other tooth and nail, John McCain is still trying to cobble together Republican support, and the pundits keep poring over fluctuating polls measuring head-to-head general election matchups. A consequence of these slow news periods is that it is easier for the media to focus on trivial or mundane matters. However, these dry periods also pose a risk for politicians because the magnifying glass of a larger news hole makes it easier for them to be caught flatfooted and for their warts to be exposed.The latest political foul ball comes from John McCain, who took offense to a comment liberal talk show host Ed Schultz made prior to a Barack Obama campaign event last Friday. Schultz called McCain a warmonger while he was ginning up the crowd prior to Obama's appearance. John McCain called upon Obama to repudiate the remark...

The Best of Lame/Cool: The Best Teen Movie That's So Lame It's Cool
2008-04-04 16:17:00 Lame/cool month continues at The Best Of Everything, explaining how The Coolness Continuum works by describing The Best Things that are so lame they're cool.Things like "Bring It On," The Best Teen Movie That's So Lame It's Cool.Technically, I did not ever have to admit that I watched "Bring It On" at all. You would have never known. Outside of my family, nobody would ever have known.Or, if word did get out that I watched "Bring It On," I could have simply said, Hey, I have two daughters and they made me watch it. And then dropped the subject.I certainly did not have to admit that I liked "Bring It On." I did not have to decide to put on The World's Most Popular Website...... that's this website, remember.that I liked "Bring It On." But I've got the street cred to pull this off, I think. I'm man enough to say that I watched "Bring It On" and that I liked it and that, in fact, it's a cool movie despite being so phenomenally lame that it risked being a black hole of lameness, ...

As The Coolness Continuum makes clear:things can be cool, then lame, then cool again. But they don't have to go through the whole continuum. Some things are just cool -- Invader Zim, for example, is just cool. But the focus of this month is things that start being cool and then become lame and then become cool again, like Swing Music, or things that start out being so lame that they shoot right around that circle and are cool, like The Atom and longitude.Or things that somehow flip The Coolness Continuum into a Mobius strip and are both lame and cool at the exact same time. Like the Charleston Chew. Here's how candy bars sort out....
Tila Tequila?s Lame New Video
2008-04-03 14:00:00 Every female pop singer sounds the same these days. Maybe it’s because they run their voices through the same auto-tuner. I mean, why don’t we just invent machines that can sing and get it over with. Tila Tequila is proof that anyone can sound good with a little technological help. Here’s her new video, ...

The Best of Lame/Cool: The Best Music Craze That's So Lame It's Cool
2008-04-02 21:50:00 Remember, TBOE lovers: April is The Coolness Continuum Month here on The Best of Everything. I first mentioned The Coolness Continuum when talking about giant superstrong rabbits, but I've kept at it a bit after that. And this entry will celebrate:The Best Music Craze That's So Lame It's Cool.I mentioned in the last post that there are rules to cool, and one rule of cool is that cool stays around. No music craze has shown more of an ability to stay around than The Best one, and that music craze is Swing Music.Don't groan. You know you love it.Swing Music has such staying power that it's gone around the Coolness Continuum twice already and is on its way back for a third trip around. Swing music first popped up, according to my usual exhaustive research methods of trying to remember when I think things occurred, in the 1940s.Don't think I just relied on my memory, though. I also checked on Youtube by searching for "1940s swing music." As I suspected, I was right because that tur...
The Best of Lame/Cool: The Best Superhero Whose Powers Are So Lame, It's C
2008-04-01 23:59:00 The Coolness Continuum Month At The Best Of EverythingApril at The Best of Everything is devoted to explaining "The Coolness Continuum" , which I first elaborated on in the context of puns involving cosmic carrots and anthropomorphic superheroes. Today is part two of my ongoing campaign to teach the world how something can be so lame it's cool. Today it'sThe Best Superhero Whose Powers Are So Lame They're Cool. I should probably start this post by saying something really catchy like Small is the next big thing or something. But instead, I'm going to start it out by pointing out that as usual, I'm right and people who disagree with me are wrong, and here's why:You think, people and My Mom, that you can't learn anything from reading comics. But you're wrong. You can learn, as I did, from reading comics, that white dwarf stars are made of something called degenerate matter. Degenerate matter, as you'd know if you are either Stephen Hawking or if you read comics, is matter that...
Lamest of Lame Duck
2008-03-31 12:00:00 With the PML-Q fast becoming history, and with the MQM leaving the Musharraf camp, and with the Army becoming non-partisan, and with United State’s arm-twisters are now out for new slaves, President’s future is now at all time bleak. I really want to know who those crutches are which are still supporting the President Musharraf and ...
The Best Of Lame/Cool: The Best Nonfiction Book About a Topic So Lame It's
2008-03-31 03:30:00 Recently, I explained the concept of "The Coolness Continuum" in the context of puns involving cosmic carrots and anthropomorphic superheroes. But there is no concept so clear that I cannot run it straight into the ground. So, to celebrate/explain/bore you to tears with "The Coolness Continuum," I hereby designate the whole next month The Coolness Continuum Month At The Best Of Everything.Which means I'll be naming things that are The Best of Lame/Cool in their category. Still with me? Stay along for the ride!Today, it's The Best Nonfiction Book About a Topic So Lame It's Cool.As a general rule, I do not like nonfiction books. That's because I look at books as entertainment, and escapism, and nonfiction by its very definition is not escapist. It's the opposite of escapist. It's capturist, or whatever the opposite would be. Why? Because life is nonfiction. See? Your whole life is true. Your whole life is based on actual events. So when it's time to kick back with a nice hefty ...
