Bizarre Websites

I'm burnt-out folks. No new idea today's. But I did compile a list of strange web pages you should check out:

1. http://www.ytmnd.com/: I don't even know how to describe this. Some guy puts up stills with weird music behind them. Some political. Some just...well...quite odd.

2. http://www.stickdeath.com/: Stick figures maiming each other. With lots of blood. This is a fun site.

3. http://www.baldwinization.com/: You can become a Baldwin Brother too!

4. http://www.subservientchicken.com/: Your wish, is this chicken's command. Sponsored by BK.

5. http://www.icanhascheezburger.com/: Cute photos of animals, mostly cats, in compromising positions with captions.

6. http://www.jesusdressup.com/: What would Jesus wear?

7. http://www.howmanywouldittake.com/: Ever sleep with a one?

8. http://www.lettersfrombadsanta.com/: Sound off on that fat commie bastard!

9. http://www.reoderant.com/: More stick figures. I know the guy who draws these cartoons. They can be found in The L Magazine available for free on most corners in Greenwich Village.

Stay tuned for my Top Ten List tomorrow morning!

Things Bouncing Around This Head of Mine - 3/26/08

- Doesn’t new New York Major David Patterson look like the lead signer of the ’80 R & B band Cameo? All he needs is a flat top. Word Up!

- I went to the dentist and the optometrist yesterday. No more candy for me for a while. Eye candy or otherwise.

- In the Manhattan subways there are a lot of guys selling the illegal bootleg DVDs and then pack up and run when the police come. Well I wonder if there are any guys in the city who do that with Girl Scout Cookies. ‘Yo buy your Girl Scout Cookies here. They sell to you for two dollars, but I have a whole box here for 1 dollar. Oh shoot the cop, let’s run!’

- The TV commercial for Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein on Broadway shows the same scenes from the movie but less funny than they were in the movie. So what is my motivation to go see it?? Broadway has definitely jumped the shark. Broadway has run out of their own ideas. Stay tuned for Spaceballs the Musical in 2009 I guess.

- My hands really hurt from typing on the computer all day. I asked my doctor if I suffer from Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. He said no not to worry it is only Carpel Extension Bridge Syndrome which is not that bad. Phew, thank God for that.

- Every time I see a police man or a police car I stop to think if I am doing anything wrong or illegal. After about 5 seconds, I realize that I am not and continue walking or driving...Most of the time anyway.

- What ever happened to Youppi after the Montréal Expos moved to Washington? I miss Youppi.

- Doesn’t the Quaker Oats dude look presidential? I trust the Quaker Oats dude. I’d vote for him instantly! Get it??? Instant Oatmeal!?!? ROTFLMAO!! I crack myself up sometimes.

- I bought the VINCE t-shirt on line that Tom Cruise wore in the film The Color of Money. I look bad ass in this shirt! Oh shoot that’s two Tom Cruise references in one week. The Scientologists are gaining on me!

- Any Beatles fans out there? Please explain to what the hell is a walrus gumboot???

- There is a new band called the Mountain Goats! Yes, I have to buy their album.

- What happened to the good old days when Atticus Finch was the world’s most admirable father figure? Now a day’s kids look up to Hulk Hogan Knows Best of Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood. Puh-lezzz!

- My mommy game me a couple of 20% off coupons for I-Hop. Valid Anytime. I can’t wait to hop over to I-Hop with my I-Pod.

- I heard that they are building an MGM Hotel and Casino near Foxwoods. I wonder if they will bring the big Lion’s Head back like the one in Vegas before they tore it down since it was bad luck to Chinese gamblers.

- I just watched No Country for Old Men again. Javier Bardem’s portrayal of Anton Chigurh is the best movie villain since Hannibal Lecter as far as I’m concerned.

- While watching this year’s NCAA Basketball Tournament, I finally realized why I hate Basketball. I despise the smell of gymnasiums. I just can’t deal with it.

- Now that The Wire aired its season finale, I cancelled my HBO. I’ll go back to reading books again I guess. Maybe I will re-order it when Entourage and Curb Your Enthusiasm come back.

- The problem is the secondary market. Coop deals are harder to sell so the lenders keep them as portfolio loans. Therefore they are reluctant to change the limits. It is hard for them to justify raising them for coops. I think it is one of those wait and see situations wherever the economy goes in the next quarter.….Oh wait…this is a work email….ignore this. Sorry.

- I just heard a fact that lettuce is the only vegetable that is not sold in cans or frozen. It is only sold fresh. Fascinating!

- I am such a Greek food snob. When ever someone says J-I-row, I correct them. It is Ear-row! Jesus get it right folks!!

- I just bought a breakfast cereal containing flax seeds. But my head didn’t grow like Barry Bonds claims flax seeds did to him.

- I heard Jeeves quit and now works for Google.

Tuesday's Word Game Winner

In honor of my partner D.O.C. M.I.A. A.W.O.L., I have created a special award this week for our Tuesday's Word Game winner for best play on Heathers Mills' 'plight'.

This week's winner is Anndi who wrote:

" I'll be going to America where people are prepared to hear me spill... OWWWWWWWW my leg!!!" **a masked man runs in - probably Jeff Gillooly- and smacks her on the 'good leg' leaving poor Miss Heather without a leg to stand on.**


Anndi it was the part about Jeff Gillooly that put you over the top. He has always had much affinity in the hearts of Doc and I. We've been making jokes about him for years!

So Anndi, please come pick up your award:

Congratulations Anndi!

Tuesday's Word Game with The Mountain Cat

While the Doc is away, the Cat will play. I was going to skip this week's word game but this story is just too juicy for you pop culture enthusiasts to pass up.

As you should all know by now, Heather Mills was awarded, in her opinion, a measly $48.7 million in her divorce settlement with Sir Paul McCartney. But now she is…*ahem*…hopping mad and wants to enact revenge on Sir Paul, his lawyer and the judge of their case.

The story goes on to say that "She's full of hate and vitriol and feels nothing but spite towards everyone on the other side. She vowed,' They're all going to regret what they did to me. I have tapes of Paul crying (over the death of first wife Linda McCartney), and they prove what a drug addict and alcoholic he was. I WILL make them public.'" (Click here for the full story).

In my humble opinion, it is a shame that she has...*double ahem*...pegged Sir Paul with such animosity when $48.7 million is well more money than any of us can ever dream of seeing.

Now folks I want you to think of a funny and creative way to complete the following quote from Heather Mills: "I know I'm a target now and I'm in danger but I don't care. I'll go after Paul again if I have to. I should have had more money and it's because Paul hid it from the court that I got so little. I'll be going to America where people are prepared to hear______________."

The comment with the most creativity wins a very special award from me....ready???.....Go!

So take those old records of the shelf....

Well my partner in crime Doc has gone away for a week on vacation with his family. That means it's party time for The Mountain Cat!! I have the whooollle house all to myself! Right now I am dancing to Bob Seger’s Old Time Rock and Roll in just a button down shirt, underwear and socks just like Tom Cruise in Risky Business.

Ok I know that is more than enough vivid imagery you can stand before your Monday morning coffee. So let me get to my first order of business this week: The winner of last week’s poll for your least favorite minor holiday is St. Patrick’s Day! It barely edged out President’s Day by a vote of 8 to 7.

Now for this week’s poll, let’s go slightly retro: Who is your favorite 1990’s Grunge Rock band from Seattle? Yes, the Starbuck’s caffeine infused city that used to be a hot bed of contemporary hard rock bands that changed popular music forever.

Do you prefer Alice in Chains, Candlebox, Mudhoney, Nirvana, Pearl Jam or Soundgarden? I am really interested to see what the millions of fans who read my blogs think.

Have a great work week y’all.

Happy Easter.....

.......from The Mountain Cat & The Easter Bunny!

And the winner is....

It was a tough choice but I got the most laughs from my cousin Pat B's comment for the

Best Rejected Adult Film Title:

Blow Hard, Die Happy.

Maybe because I can picture you saying this in front of our prudish family. Hahahaha!

Therefore Patty you win a Golden Lion:

And Pat, since you are family, a Lion Kiss Award would be too gross!

Anyway, we are all glad your hospital stay didn't take away your sense of humor. Infact I think it enhanced it!

Thank you everyone for your participation! Have a great weekend.
