Apropos of Jesse's post below. It makes more sense if you were addicted to those 90s paranormal shows like "Sightings."


(The clip at the start is God/Robert Evans leaving a recording studio. It's Mr. Show. Don't think too hard about it.)

    Wow, I was right about to post a link to this in Jesse's thread. Is there something supernatural afoot?

    Ok, you guys asked for it. Now it's Time for me to link to this...

    Just to tie this back to the Johnny Rotten thread: Did you know you can sing "World Destruction" to the tune of "Monster Mash"?

  4. Les   18 years ago

    A fine choice, Mr. Weigel. A fine choice, indeed.

  5. John-David   18 years ago

    The Robert Evans?

    Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.

  6. Tom W   18 years ago

    This very Mr. Show skit inspired me to write "Monster Party" which we recorded with King Coleman, the guy who sang "Mashed Potatoes." It's not up anywhere, but I should post it.

  7. BakedPenguin   18 years ago

    I remember in the mid-late 80's, MTV used to have Halloween specials (they still might, don't know, don't care) and they put on anything remotely "spooky". That was great, because by the mid 80's, they already had enough mainstream videos to stop playing all the weird videos that made them so interesting when they first started out.

  8. Brian Sorgatz   18 years ago

    To be fair, some flawed but useful documentaries about psychedelics are only a little less hokey at times, like here and here.

    The mysterious correlation...between Playboy modeling and youthfulness...baffles the experts....Can a magazine have a mysterious power...to cause people's ages...to actually go down?

    My Halloween post will be up in a few minutes, in case you care. (I know that some respond to my blog plugs here, because of SiteMeter.)

  9. Brian Sorgatz   18 years ago

    The stuff in the italics is not a sample of that blog at all, by the way.

  10. Brian Sorgatz   18 years ago

    That post, I mean. I haven't eaten in hours.

  11. Jim Bob   18 years ago

    Total threadjack, but this is possibly the best news I've heard all year.

    Joel Hodgson and the rest of the original MST3K cast are back and they're riffing on movies once again. Fuckin' awesome!

  12. Karen   18 years ago

    That, too, was cool.

    So, while I sit at the computer in the front room and dole out concentrated sugar to small children, I have to ask, what's your favorite Halloween candy? Mine's Sweet-Tarts. A perfect complete waste of calories. Nothing but sugar and a little sourness. Ahhhh.

  13. Edward   18 years ago

    Compared to the Ron Paul campaign, this stuff doesn't seem paranormal at all.

  14. Bingo   18 years ago

    rly scary vid: 2 girls 1 cup *shudder*

  15. Jim Walsh   18 years ago

    The bit starts off mildly amusing and tapers off from there. Good news about the MST3K revival, though...

    Oh, I think I can do you one better:

    Tim Curry is a scary motherfucker!

  18. Rick H.   18 years ago

    The sight of "songwriter James Whitcroft" scrubbing his tighty whiteys in the kitchen sink always kills me.
