A little bit louder and so much worse

Just when you thought I’d quit posting videos..

I’m addicted.

Not in a good, addicted way, more like a very bad addicted way.

I just found some awesone videos.

First, H.R. PufNStuf by the Murmers

Then the real deal (ya’ll will thank me, I promise)

Then the awesome ending

And to top it all of, the intro for “Lidsville”

Ya’ll can blame the second oldest sibling.

Of course, I’m of the firm opinion that this will attract some female to me, since in nature the male with the most plumage gets the ladies, and this has to be somewhat close to the human equivalant, no?

They are in Xanadu

Filed under: Bout-Me, Goofing-off, Reviews, Single Stupid Guy — Chris @ 7:59 am

Oh well, it may seem that I’m just posting Video as of late.

Not true.

Ok, maybe true.. But this you can blame on my co-workers. They were discussing “The Balad of Bilbo Baggins” and I was mocked for my wierd, if a bit obsessive love for the Movie Xanadu. I even reviewed it here . Well, my co-worker mockery made me go look on Youtube.

And I found Xanadu.

I am mocked for liking bad movies. People don’t understand, I only like the REALLY bad.

So I give you Xanadu.. First up. “Clap Clap” Xanadu!

Ah.. Olivia in all her ELO singing, roller discoing, scary punk band, Neon colored special effects glory. You get to even see Gene Kelly! How cool is that!?!? More than worth the viewing.

Next, the Muses coming out of the wall (Second favorite). This is where the rainbow of fruit flavors happen. And a Irish Jig.

Some Don Bluth Cartoon (which just shows up halfway through the movie) oh how I wish I could woo a woman so.


Then some *totally* awesome ELO, neoned lined Love Ballads.

Some “Making Of” Xanadu. (I’m watching all the parts right now..)

And finally the peeps version

I seriously <3 Youtube.

And if your eyes survived that storm without bleeding tears.

I Salute you.

Hasselhoff Gold

Filed under: Goofing-off, Single Stupid Guy — Chris @ 7:56 am

You might have thought I got distracted.

To you I say Nay Nay.

Thanks to a second oldest sibling, I have even more Hasselhoff material.. From this interview with the Hoff he says

Hasselhoff said his new single Jump in My Car is headed toward the top 10 on the British charts.

“If it breaks over here, fine,” he said.

I deeply suspect that would be a sign of something. Mainly the coming of the Apocalypse .

Then you can take a look at the reviewers on Amazon.com for the Very Best of David Hasselhoff some of the gems include

Oi Oi Oi Oi! This album frickin’ rocks! Many pulverizing tracks of pure Streetpunk glory! David Hasselhoff takes it back to the roots of early British punk rock and gives it a jolt with his amazing, and sometimes aluring voice. His staunch stand against fascism streams throughout this album, fueled by his old school punk sound fury. This album is definately not a skipper, and anyone who loves some good old school hardcore punk should pick this up! This would make The Exploited proud. This price is trivial, the love is not! He is a great guy, with a great talent. Pick this up today!

Also, in a bit of marketing genius, the producers wisely placed the standout track “Hot Shot City” at track #6, a full 8 tracks earlier than its placement on this album. That means you’ll *save* at least 20 minutes in having to wait to hear a song most critics have claimed is “particularly good”. And they pass these savings along to you.

It truly is a steal at $39.99

After hearring “The Hoff” for the first time, I emerged from my room like a caveman unthawed from a glacier after aeons out of the loop, blinking in the blinding light of reveletion!! This album has opened my eyes to a whole new, modern world of style, passion, and rippling, hair-covered pecs of which I was totally unaware!! Thank you, David, for showing me how beautifull the world truly is!! I am a particluar fan of Hot Shot City, which had me raving off the walls like a speed-crazed hyena!! Unbelievabel!!

An 11 on the scale of manliness…, April 21, 2006
Reviewer: S. “strap” (Alexandria, VA) – See all my reviews
David Hasselhoff’s collection of greatest hits is one of the most inspirational collections of our lifetime. If you haven’t listened to the Hoff, you don’t know what you’re missing. This man is truly an underappreciated living legend and a national treasure. The only thing wrong with this collection is that they had to pare it down to only 16 tracks. Anything Hoff touches turns to gold, and a Hoff greatest hits collection could contain just about anything he’s ever sang, even in the shower. With the guitars blazing and synthesizers synthesizing, the Hoff’s powerful vocals are accompanied by a band a virtuosos. This album will change your life, as it has mine…ever since I musked up and popped the Hoff’s greatest hits into my Trans-Am last Saturday night (in Hot Shot City, nonetheless),

Yeah.. There’s some love for the Hoff.

I have a reputation to maintain

Filed under: Goofing-off, Single Stupid Guy, Tech-Stuff — Chris @ 6:37 am

Within the last few days I had the following phone conversation. (names changed to protect the innocent)

Not-Dad: When you installed Hamachi on my machine, does that mean you can use my bandwidth
Me: No, but you can uninstall Hamachi if you want
Not-Dad: Because ever since you installed it, all the Internet access has been slow
Me: Well, it shouldn’t be Hamachi, and I’m not stealing your bandwidth, go ahead and uninstall it.

One call from a sibling later, and the issue was finally resolved. Oh, and the issue wasn’t me eating up bandwidth.

But can ya’ll tell what happens when I visit the not-parents ?

The one where I just keep posting Video

Filed under: Goofing-off, Reviews, Single Stupid Guy — Chris @ 7:29 am

Thanks to Justin, I’ve now seen oh, probably only the coolest trailer ever.

The one for BATTLESTAR Galactica. Or as a former girlfriend repeatedly called it “Supermodels and Robots”.

Which, from my experience of many years being a man, is really all a Sci-Fi show needs, isn’t it? I mean, really. Look at the audience they are catering to.

So without further ado, the trailer for Battlestar Galactica: Season 3

And yes, I know, I’ll get some good regular content up here soon.

Family is what it is all about

Filed under: Bout-Me — Chris @ 8:55 am

I’ve got a large extended family. Amongst them I’ve got several cool cousins.

And one of those just qualified for the Olympic Trial Marathon

Not only is it amazing she can run that much, but I am amazed by watching someone follow their dream.

Paula I can’t wait to see you run more
