From the Vaults: Korean History Channel

Many moons ago I was researching a bunch of AA stand ups and discovered something; there are some really talented brothers out there. In fact, Fish and I saw Dr. Ken before he broke and we both knew he had it but wondered if the machine was ready or willing to give him a shot.

Now in the Internet era there are some pretty creative AA kids. Bart and Joe are two of them, under the moniker, "Just Kidding Films" on YouTube. This one's kinda long but like most, yours truly included, editing is one of the flaws in their game. Still, the bright spots are what to look for, and the thing to look for here in this first vid is the Korean soap parody.

As a viewer put it: with a seashell cover her nipperl I was like wow you a beautiper...

They're still rough around the edges but you can see they have talent. Anyway, a while back I think it was Renee that first turned me on to them and showed me this next one; I 'bout shit my pants laughing.

Funny Hurt

Sarah's story was from the 3/10/11 show @ 2:13:15

Sarah Silverman was recently on the Stern Show and said something really funny but so on point. The setup was, as usual the way Stern can make the mundane interesting and/or entertaining, and in this case, he and Sarah were riffing on being sick. What Sarah says about her experience illustrates the relationship between big American style medicine and corporate payola.




Howard: When you get on that path of antibiotics, you're ruined.


Sarah: I think you're right.


Howard: Think I'm right, I know I'm right. Have your cold, go through it for a few days. Rest up, your body needs some rest, and you'll come back stronger. This is the first cold I've had in two years, because I don't take antibiotics.


Robin: Remember the good old days when people had colds and they just took care of them?


Howard: Yeah, they died!


Sarah: I went to the doctor and he goes, "I'm going to give you anitbiotics." I go, "Are you gonna give me Biaxin?" He goes, "Yeah, how'd you know?"


I go, "Cause you have a Biaxin notepad, Biaxin pen, a Biaxin calendar..."

The Show Must Go On

Ya gotta hand it to this kid, Kate Wilson, she soldiers on. And thank god she does -- this is funnier than shit! I like the ones she tries to stifle... LMAO!


Hat tip to the Stern Show.

You're OUTTA Here Man!

Here's that staged vid of the spoiled kid going freakshow; I thought I'd post this because it makes me think that this is how Jamie Dimon was as a kid.

I have to then follow that up with this by Mike Epps about these kinds of kids. Too funny.

Cada de Lastima! Eh, You Thought!

As a kid I made my ma's head explode so many times, not the least of which when I was sent to continuation school, the notorious Vail Continuation. Aye, Madre de Dios, the stories I could tell. Okay, not a story, but here's one memory.

Vail was practically all guys, and the few chicks were scags. So when I got there, I of course do the typical scoping out, and couldn't help but notice Huera; she was really pretty, and not just in relation to the scags. But the thing is, she was a Chola, and I mean with a capital "C" as in plucked eyebrows penciled in, teased hair y todo.

So I couldn't pass up the opportunity to post this because it's too funny. Here's an Asian/Latina homey who's from the bay area but seems to know a lot about East Los, Gloria Nava, aka, Baby Smiley.

Aye te wacho, putas!

Guitar Hero

The 60's & 70's in music were a fascinating time in rock music for obvious reasons. One of the by-products then was the elevation of the (lead) guitar player. First popularized by the 60's phrase, "Clapton is God," names like Beck, Page and Hendrix soon became very well known.

In the late 60's something happened; certain jazz musicians were listening and incorporating rock elements and turning out what would be called "jazz fusion," or simply, fusion. Miles was among the first with his Bitches Brew, and the great Tony Williams (and Miles alum) would shortly follow suit with his "Lifetime" band.

Yet another Miles alum,Chick Corea, jumped on the bandwagon. By now (early 70's) fusion was primed and pumped for a "superstar" group, and Chick seized the moment with his band, "Return to Forever." (rtf)

First, what a dumbass Trekkie name. Let's be honest; it's fruity. I remember looking at the album back and if memory serves correctly, it had a quote by L. Ron Hubbard, who was really into "space opera" as scientologists have told me. Yes, Chick had become one...

Second, rtf had a young - I believe he was only 19 - axeman; Al Di Meola. He became fusion's guitar shredman posterboy.

Personally, I never liked his playing or his pretensions; just go down the list of his solo album titles. You think Chick's head is full of "space" grab a fork and get a load of Al's bullshit; "Land of the Midnight Sun," "Soaring Through a Dream," "The Infinite Desire" ... yeah, these folks are serious. Either that or they say, "Get a load of this crap I'm gonna make 50 g's on..."

Once I saw him in a later incarnation with John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia doing their faux flamenco thing, all three seated on stage. Eh, not my cup of tea, but I went to catch up to see what McLaughlin was up to. Anyway, the most hilarious thing was that Al would start his patented shred runs, and at the climax - invariably on a high note - he'd literally lift up out of his seat, as if the run was goosing him up the ass. When I pointed it out to my friends, we'd crack up every time it'd come to Al's turn to solo.

Following is one of the most hilarious vids I've seen in a while. I owe these guys because I was feeling kinda shitty and then found this; These guys literally had me in tears.

Dancin' Dora

This has been out for forever, but I needed a laugh today so looked it up cause I hadn't seen it in a minute.

The first time Cooky showed me this we were both cracking up for days. It's still damn entertaining.

So for posterity, here's Josh/J-Way doin' his Dancin' Dora. And stick to the end where Dora C-Walks!

Une Cadavre

I was tempted to cite several posts from a few years back that forewarned of some of the darkness. Though I'll be the first to admit that I never thought it'd be this bad.

Instead, here's a joke, courtesy of P-Dawg. As is said, many a truth is told in jest....

DEDICATED TO: Hank Paulson, Ben Bernanke, Congress, AIG, The Fucking Banking System, hedge fund managers, the IRS, HMOs, health insurance co's and insurance co's in general (actually sanctioned gambling casinos), drug companies, lobbyists and the politicians who do their bidding, mass media asleep at the wheel, walmart, the dumbya administration...

AND ANY OTHER JERKOFF SHITHEAD FUCKNUT WHO'S GOT THEIR HAND IN MY WALLET AND/OR BILKED/SOLD OUR COUNTRY DOWN THE RIVER FOR PERSONAL GAIN OVER THE GENERAL WELFARE.

GO FUCK YOURSELVES.

THANK YOU.

The kids filed back into class Monday morning. They were very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on productive salesmanship.

Little Sally led off: "I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30," she said proudly, "My sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success."

"Very good," said the teacher.

Little Jenny was next: "I sold magazines," she said, "I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events."

"Very good, Jenny," said the teacher.

Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn. The teacher held her breath.

Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher's desk. "$2,467," he said. "$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were you selling?"

"Toothbrushes," said Little Johnny.

"Toothbrushes...???" echoed the teacher, "How could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much money?"

"I found the busiest corner in town," said Little Johnny, "I set up a Dip & Chip stand. I gave everybody who walked by a sample. They all said the same thing:

"Hey, this tastes like shit!"

Then I would say, "It is shit. Wanna buy a toothbrush?"
