Monthly break(s!)

My roommate found this old clip from somewhere around WW2. I think we may have stumbled upon the cure to casualties of war, or at least a case for the relative harmlessness of drugs in comparison to the danger of certain sober world leaders.
Look what happens when these trained killers are administered some LSD:



While we're on drug humor, here's something much sillier!

Captured in Fleorgia

I made the 150 minute drive to Jacksonville on Wednesday to see my favorite band Nine Inch Nails. Bored, alone, and awaiting entry into the arena, I was spotted leaning against a light pole by Florida Times Union's Carol Keller. She told me not to move and look into her camera, and poof! I was forever frozen in time.
Aside from that flattering moment, the evening was surprisingly uneventful. There was a really cool looking Carnival/Festival happening across from the arena that I almost decided to ditch the concert for. In retrospect, I wish I had. While I love Nine Inch Nails and still believe they are one of the best live performers of the last twenty years, I'd seen their show only two months earlier, and contrary to advertisement, little had changed aside from the noticeably pathetic turnout and all of their once-breathtaking special effects screwing up and tainting the experience. I came away from the show wondering some things. Has Trent Reznor lost a step? The tech-heavy performance overshadowed the physical passion he used to pour into his shows. Am I getting old? Seeing NIN live was once a priceless experience, but for the first time I began questioning whether I spent too much to be there. Are both true, or was it just an off night for the band and for me? Should Jacksonville really be a part of Florida? It is so close to Georgia, and shares so many of its wonderful attributes, such as toothless McCain supporters, recently released convicts, and churches. Perhaps it was just an off night. I mean, they couldn't even get their logo right. Or perhaps I simply put too much stock in getting out of town for a night, ignorant the forthcoming Georgianess of Jacksonville. In any event, that horizon is gone. The next adventure involves a Theme Park in Georgia. Here's hoping it surpasses a technically challenged concert in the middle of the world's ugliest misplaced city.

Return of The Rock-afire Explosion

I don't ever recall a time that I have felt thrilled, disturbed, frightened, intrigued, nostalgic, and ashamed all at the same -- except for a few minutes ago, when I saw this clip:


For those around my age, you may have grown up around a Showbiz Pizza Place and their Rock-afire Explosion animatronic band. I still remember the smell of the pizza in their nice little nook of a theatre tucked away in that larger-than-life fortress of jungle jim fun. I have mourned for Showbiz and their star band, and I never imagined they would be brought back from the dead, especially not in this form. You can now pay money to have them cover a song of your chosing on You Tube. Here is what they did with Electric Feel by MGMT.



What's next?

Monthly break

This one's a bit on the lighter side, it isn't from break.com, but it is still quite amusing. Busy times! Enjoy.

Tripple-take

I had to read this headline three times before I realized it was just an unfortunately titled but otherwise innocent story.

"BOLT, POWELL, GAY CRUISE TO 100 SEMIFINALS".

The writer is excused. He's an AP guy who probably had ten articles to write today. But an editor at some point perceivably saw that headline and decided to go with it. You know they are going to hear it tomorrow!

Batman's vocal overkill

Apparently I wasn't the only one who thought Bale's "Batman voice" in The Dark Knight was a bit too much.
