04/06/2009: Monster Rap.

Hello!

I was going to post this as a comment, but considering that the last thread is nearing 1000 comments (all positive) and takes about seventeen minutes to load, we may as well start anew.

I’m alive and unchanged. Seriously, I’ve just been working. A lot. It’s been a less-than-ideal grind and I very much look forward to the current wave passing so I can get back to doing what I love to do best: Nothing, with a side of you.

Some of you have expressed interest in an early return for the Halloween Juke. I couldn’t agree more and will try to include this soon as a partial mea culpa. I’ve been listening to that shit constantly, though I don’t know if it has as much to do with me wanting Halloween as it does the fact that Geico’s “Somebody’s Watching Me” commercial airs 772 times each hour.

Also, there was an a site in circulation that evidently attempted to redirect users to a bad place. I cannot lie: I thought you guys were mistaken, but you were right, and the ad guys at UGO (and me) really, sincerely apologize for any trouble it caused. It’s been eradicated and you should have no further trouble.

I finally watched that Clone Wars movie. Now, I was as hard on the prequels as anyone, but despite what seemed to be common opinion, I really didn’t think it was bad at all. Granted, I fell asleep halfway through, but I’m assuming it grew no more offensive from there. Plus, the first reveal of Jabba’s son, suddenly crawling out and goo-goo gah-ing with absolutely no build or fanfare, cracked me up so much that I had to rewind the scene seven times before watching the rest of (or the rest of the first half of) the movie.

Very odd to hear an ice cream truck’s jingle playing during a thunderstorm in early April, but I swear, I just did.

Oh, the Billy Mays/Tony Sullivan reality show was awesome. So cheesy, and yet so amazing, much like the rugged, bewhiskered pitchman it documents.

LOST was fun last night, huh? I especially love any episode that makes Star Wars allusions, but they were really bringing it last night. Oh, and the Dharma Initiative marble-pattern composition book, with the little Dharma logo on the cover, how cute was that? I MUST have one. Careful examination of the preview for two weeks from now have me convinced that the cameo I’ve been waiting for all season (or, actually, since the S2 finale, but certainly since we met Radzinsky) is on the way, so I’m jazzed.

Plantmonster, is it the Breakfast Club? (I know someone else already guessed it but I swear I knew it too! LOL)

Thanks for the warm welcomes, I am hoping to spend a little more time here as my current bbs’s are getting a little bo-ring!

Instead of letting some throwback to the inceptions of the Hayes Code and the Comics Code Authority clean up movie dialog, they should let some clever writers do it, to keep the intent, but still have broadcastable epithets that only sound bad. Kinda like The Old Man’s ranting in A Christmas Story.

But, Exorcist would be good if they dubbed in the old SNL line, “Your mother sews socks that smell!” That was classic.

Personaly, I hope that Matt is waiting for the board nazis (or bored nazis from the lack ofupdates. .snoogins) to get off his nuts and say “Quit being an ass and update us.” You even think of that?

No one likes a suckup. Not even the guy your sucking up too. You’ve worked with 1 before. Remember him, yea you do, and you didn’t like him at all. Thats probly what Matt thinks of yall doin it to him. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t post. Maybe he’s just going, Imma wait till they all get off my nutsack and then I’ll update em. Now Maybe its not tho, but………

Ya know what, ya haven’t even considered it. Why? Because most of you believe that only YOUR views could possible be correct. Only what YOU think is right. Ya know what….. That’s the same shit Hitler thought. Nazi’s indeed.

Oh and yea it was the same. A promise is a promise. If it’s real life, internet, in space, on a train, in a plane, in a box, or with a brown nosing suckup. It doesnt matter to who or where you give your word. What matters is you gave it.

Ghosted by drew do @ 04/16/2009 1:06 PM EDT


Random Thought time: I wonder how long it will take for 90’s nostalgia sites to pop up.

I find more and more that I’m really REALLY missing the late 80’s/early 90’s, from the music to the horrible clothes. I was a grunger, myself. Well I transformed into one after the floral leggings/oversized tie-dye t-shirt or Hypercolour shirt and SurfStyle jacket phase.

Ghosted by jennyroo @ 04/16/2009 1:12 PM EDT


I had one of those hypercolor shirts. I loved it at first. It never reallly was the same tho after it went through the dryer a couple of times. :( I forgot about those for a minute lol. thanx jennyroo

and hell yea snoogans!! Mallrats Rules

He contributed to the 90’s reminiscing!!!

I want Hypercolour (hypercolor? sorry i’m canadian, we like to add letters to existing words for some reason) to make a comeback!!
If floral leggings can, HC shirts definitely have a shot.

Ghosted by jennyroo @ 04/16/2009 1:35 PM EDT


I think grunge fashion was a bit of a downgrade from the 80s. Everything went in the 80s, you could dress as flamboyantly as you liked, but the nineties came, and fashion became a serious unfun thing again. Thats just my oppinion anyways.

Ghosted by ory_bloodmyre @ 04/16/2009 1:40 PM EDT


My girlfriend has a hypercolor shirt, i think it acquired pretty recently too! There is hope!

Mallrats was alright, Chasing Amy is better, Dogma is best… HA! Kevin Smith, now THAT is 90’s!

Ghosted by drew do @ 04/16/2009 1:50 PM EDT


I agree–its like the neons and fluorescents of the Lateighties (nice one, me)-1991 were silenced by flannel.

Wow, talk about 90’s nostalgia, Godwin’s Law, really?

Ghosted by DarkSideofBrightness @ 04/16/2009 2:59 PM EDT


Man, I was rocking the flannel shirts and Doc Martins hard in high school.

Maybe 90’s nostalgia wouldn’t be so bad. You’d have to be very selective with it though:

Bringing back some TV shows or comic book storylines = Good.

Spin Doctors cover bands = Not so much.

I knew Screech of Saved by the Bell was in a celebrity porn video, but had no clue it included a Dirty Sanchez and a Cleveland Steamer (according to wikipedia)! Now I have this sick urge to see it. It’s like Steve Urkel going bukkake.

Ghosted by Barry @ 04/16/2009 3:07 PM EDT


If you want to talk 90’s one thing I remember the most is the daytime talk. Donahue, Sally Jesse, and Jenny Jones. Remember before it all became lie detectors and paternity results?

Ghosted by drew do @ 04/16/2009 3:14 PM EDT


And before Geraldo sold out and started endorsing products like: Geraldo’s “Crazy-80’s” Acid Washed Jeans.

Ghosted by Morfnblorsh @ 04/16/2009 3:17 PM EDT


The fashion of the 90s sucked. When I was in high school (up to ‘96) all girls wore ugly, baggy flannel crap. Now, they go to school half naked. Not fair.

Ghosted by Brew Master @ 04/16/2009 3:17 PM EDT


OH MAN Sally Jesse Raphael. Those big red glasses…my first pair of glasses were identical, although I was trying to emulate Becca on Life Goes On.
No one got that reference though, it was always Sally Jesse. I loved the Jenny Jones “I was a geek in high school but LOOK AT ME NOW” shows where they bust though a picture of themselves with their rockin’ new looks.

Ghosted by jennyroo @ 04/16/2009 3:18 PM EDT


Brew Master- The girls at your school were doing it wrong. Way back in the day, when I rocked the grunge look, I always wore a tiny midriff baby tee under an unbuttoned flannel shirt. Still ugly, but maybe a bit sexier. Then again, probably not.

Ghosted by DarkSideofBrightness @ 04/16/2009 3:24 PM EDT


There were definitely girls that dressed a bit more salaciously than others, but overall, it was a time period much less sexy than today.

Ghosted by Brew Master @ 04/16/2009 3:27 PM EDT


Darkside you’re killing me! Lol!

Ghosted by Morfnblorsh @ 04/16/2009 3:39 PM EDT


Yeah rockin’ new looks was always good, but then they always had the serious shows once in a while. They made them sound so intense and as a kid they seemed that way. I also dug some Ricki Lake. Now all that remains are Maury and Jerry Springer. Sad shells of previous 90’s daytime glory.

But also don’t forget the cartoons, like Darkwing Duck which was awesome!

Ghosted by drew do @ 04/16/2009 3:44 PM EDT


Darkwing Duck? Pff… The only duck-related television show worth watching was Ducktales (awoo-ooo!)

Ghosted by Morfnblorsh @ 04/16/2009 3:50 PM EDT


Please, you’re nuts. Ducktales was one of my favorite shows as a kid. Slap a cape on it and it was damn near perfect! Everything is better with a cape when you’re little.

Ghosted by drew do @ 04/16/2009 3:53 PM EDT


I got a videotape somewhere where they show a commercial for the premiere of Sally Jesse Raphael.

I watched the “I Love the 90s” show VH1 did awhile back and couldn’t remember half of the stuff they talked about for some reason. But I remember practically everything in their 80s show even though I was born in 81.

Ghosted by King JLA @ 04/16/2009 3:56 PM EDT


Did you have older siblings? I was born in the mid 80’s but still identify with the 80’s way more than the 90’s because my aunt was a teenager then and I spent a ton of time with her.

Ghosted by drew do @ 04/16/2009 4:03 PM EDT


aw I wish I got VH1!! Much Music tried to make a show that was like those “i love the *decade*” but failed. Surprise, surprise.

Any other Canadians on here by any chance?

I’m actually the oldest of 3 kids. My theory is that when we are younger we soak up/pay attention to our environment/culture more easilly than when we become teens and older. Since the 80s pop culture stuff was all over the place (even into the mid 90s) when I was younger, I identify with it more.

Ghosted by KING JLA @ 04/16/2009 6:14 PM EDT


Yeah I do believe that. Plus in the 80’s marketing to kids was far less shameless than it was starting in the 90’s so the things I saw on TV made more of an impact. during the afternoon EVERY commercial was made for kids.

Mind you, I don’t think that was a bad thing. Unfortunately a lot of negligent parenting made it so that kids today won’t have sites like this to remember old commercials and toys and such. New McDonalds commercials aren’t even interesting or kid oriented! Lame…

It’s scary, but it’s late enough to say that ANY year in the 20th century can be nostalgic. I was in college in ‘99 and I now look back upon that time pretty wistfully.

The 70’s: cool to live through.
The 80’s: also cool.
The 90’s: alright, I guess.
The 00’s: jury’s still out.

Is it wrong to rub up against the Internet like a housecat?

Ghosted by kingklash @ 04/16/2009 7:58 PM EDT


Drew Do: I’m not quite sure I completely agree with you. I can very easily see someone starting a retro website in the future talking about the good old days of Spongebob Squarepants and Dora the Explorer, classic Nick-at-Nite lineups of Fresh Prince, Family Matters, and George Lopez, and the “awesomeness” of The Hills.

It’s all a matter of perspective.

Mystie- You obviously live in some magical foreign country. Okay, so we have a Walmart selling Rainbow Twists and 7-Up Pomengrant, but so what?

jennyroo- I live in Illinois. It’s flat and cold. But we don’t have frightingly advanced zamboni technology.
