Redneck Bar & Grill

So, I don’t know if you folks have heard about this or not.  Over on YouTube there is a gentleman by the name of Josh Rimer and he’s giving away $1000 of his own money.  If you would like to see the whole story just click here.  Go ahead and do it now and then come back here as soon as you’re done.  I’ll wait.

In the meantime, while we’re waiting for them; if you currently find yourself living under a large stone somewhere and don’t have access to a high speed, wi-fi, HDTV, Beta-max, Bluetooth, BlueRay, super funky internet connection and have trouble viewing videos on YouTube (or if you just don’t feel like going over there); let me give you a brief synopsis.

Josh has posted a video and what he wants to do is make it the most talked about video ever.  To this end  he wants to get a minimum of 50 000 comments on it.  The incentive for the viewer is that every time he gets 5000 comments he will give away $100 (U.S.) to one lucky and completely random commenter.  Naturally the more times one person comments, the more chances he/she has of winning.  There is absolutely no limit to the number of times each person can comment and there is no restriction as to what the comment has to be.  It can be positive or negative, it can be about the video or it can be about anything at all that pops into your head.

I would like to encourage our vast readership to go over there and enter a comment for your own chance to win.  And just let Josh know that you are a proud Blue Beaver Beer drinker.  He’ll want to hear that.

For you folks who went away and are just now returning; that’s all I have to say.  Buh-bye.

Originally on this blog last November, but I thought since Ernie wants to Save The Robots it was kind of appropriate!

I saw a news story that upset me quite a bit.  The basis for the story was this commercial for GM.  The commercial was banned because it somehow made a mockery of robot  suicide.  I think that banning the commercial doesn’t go nearly far enough.  We need to for a support group for these robots.  All robots reading this blog; I know that "the man" prevents you from commenting here and that probably makes you angry and depressed.  I would like all of you to gather every Tuesday night at the local Redneck Bar and Grill.  We can form a group.  Blue Beaver Beer Drinkers For The Prevention of  Robot Self Harm.  If you are a robot who has recently lost a job or been turned down from posting a comment on the internet; don’t despair.  There are humans who want to help you talk it out.  Skin-jobs are also welcome (especially if you look like Tricia Helfer).

I have finally found the truth, the way, the light. It is symbolized by the Banana Peel, and the holiest day of the year is fast approaching. That would be April 1st, of course!
Have you heard of this new Religion? Need a primer on the way of funny? Well, unfortunately the Holy Skripture , The Comedist Manifesto, hasn’t been finished yet. But take heart, Irreverend Steve has been enlightened by the Cosmic Comedist, and I am sure if you head over to his blog it will all be made plain.
It is the Philosopher’s Playground. Maybe if enough of us come to visit, he will get shaking and finish the book.
Now, back to planning Holy Day festivities. I think shaking all of my friends Blue Beaver Beers and then putting them back in the fridge….. or setting their Tivo’s to record old Three’s Company leftovers…… whoops, did I type that out loud?

Well, I’m sure a lot of you out there might almost care that the Academy Awards were handed out last night.  Personally, I spent my Sunday night the way I always do; drinking Blue Beaver Beer and watching Battlestar Galactica (that show is frakking sweet).  I haven’t seen most of the movies that were nominated.  I heard something about Martin Scorsese winning and Oscar and apparently this was some sort of a big deal because he’s never won before.   I guess if that sort of thing is important to you, then it’s worth noting.

However I am much more interested in the Golden Raspberry Awards, which celebrate the worst movies of the last year (most of which I have seen).  The worst picture Razzie went to "Basic Instinct 2" and Sharon Stone won worst actress for her role in it.  The worst actor "nod" went to Shawn and Marlon Wayans for "Little Man".
If you want a full list of the winners go here.  You can also read some interesting trivia about the Razzies at Mental Floss.  If you are a big fan of either "Basic Instinct 2" or "Little Man", then check out this link.

I would like to take this opportunity to nominate my choice for this years worst animated feature: "Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time".  I haven’t watched it, but putting any number after any of the classic Disney Cartoons is grounds for at least a Razzie if not something worse (like a Purple Nurple).

Remember that t-shirt poll We had up a while ago? Here’s the results so far ( if you haven’t voted, you may have to vote before it will show you the results.)

I just unearthed a very interesting article (by Araminta Matthews) about How To Survive A Zombie Apocalypse.  Clearly, the author did some very extensive research on the subject.  I myself have also researched how to deal with a zombie attack and I would have to agree with pretty much everything Araminta has to say on the subject.  There is one thing I would like to add; if you can’t get to Belize, you should scout out possible shelters in a more rural area.  Obviously the smaller the town you end up in, the fewer the zombies you will have trying to eat you.  As well the article mentions how the internet would probably crash, however I wonder why that would be.

Just a little while ago I was contemplating if the internet is self-sustaining yet.  I haven’t actually done any research on that, but I wonder; even if all of a sudden there was a major catastrophe that killed 90% of the world’s population but didn’t do any direct physical damage to inanimate objects like computers, how long would the internet still be “out there” and accessible by the remaining 10%?  (This idea was inspired by Stephen King’s “The Stand”.)  Then you might ask: why would the remaining population want to access the internet after the Apocalypse? Do we still need to be looking at our favourite porn site?  Do we need to add more friends to our Windows Live Spaces page?  Maybe not, but we could try to find out just how many people are still left and where they are and whether or not it would be possible to gather into larger communities.  Most important of all you might be able to use the internet to do an inventory on the remaining supply of Blue Beaver Beer…oh and other essentials like medicine or food or whatever.
