Yeah, yeah, I know these aren't exactly fresh or new or anything (except to me, I guess, given that I've only just now come across them), but they do fit into my ongoing theme of being behind the times a bit, and unafraid to post items that may be yesterday's news.
Regardless, these are well worth a view if you haven't been fortunate enough to see them, and I imagine a repeat viewing wouldn't hurt either. If you happen to be even mildly amused by Jack Black, or Benjamin Franklin for that matter, and the concept of seeing history through the mind of someone that just pounded about 10 Vodka and Cranberries is at all intriguing to you, do yourself a favor and take a gander. There's some foul language, so, if you're at work or something, be sure to have the headphones on. Make the jump for Volume 2.5, the sequel...
So, I'm not sure when this happened, but one thing is certain. North Carolina's public school system is in shambles, and Kellie Pickler, American Idol contestant turned country artist, is the proof. Pleas for help and possible explanations after the jump.
It's okay, she settled her pending, 7 year-old claim against the city for $275,000. Seriously. I saw it on Fox News, so it's got to be true. I'm gonna ask you to make the jump for the video of this, also courtesy of my favorite e-supermarket tabloid, because, well, we simply could use the page views. Don't worry, it's worth it, for a variety of reasons...
All sorts of of help from the refs. Too many men on the field? Okay, I'll stop. Seriously, though, what the hell? Apparently this infamous zebra, one Penn Wagers (he has a history...), has already been cleared of any wrongdoing for his brutal take down of USC East QB Stephen Garcia, making his first career start no less, in the Cocks showdown with LSU last Saturday in Columbia. Getting cleared by the SEC doesn't necessarily mean much, unfortunately, but even the Old Ball Coach himself has let this thing go, which I guess says a lot.
This is still a head scracher for me, however, not to mention a gut wrencher in terms of laughter. I posit that there are NCAA scholarship linebackers with weaker strafe technique than that displayed by Wagers here. Remarkable. To add insult injury, South Carolina lost 24-17...
and Terry Tate does what nearly every straight male 12 and up in this country, whether they admit it or not, wishes they could: Lay the wood to her.
For whatever reason, I'm always a day late (or several) and a dollar short (or several thousand) when it comes to this stuff. This came out a few days ago, and apparently has already been viewed nearly 500,000 times, but I just couldn't resist. Besides, it's election season, and we've already got a make-shift Palin theme going, so why the hell not? Drill, baby, drill!
Okay, so we know this isn't original, or hot off the presses necessarily, but around here these days beggars can't be choosers. Came across this over at Holy Taco, and boy am I glad I did. All the credit goes to them. Yeah, yeah, so I almost got called out at work, presumably because of the wails of laughter coming from my desk, but it was worth it. Enjoy. I'm off to add Jesus right now...
On a brisk Thursday night in which the nation fully expected, and rightfully so, some Trojans to really stick it to a bunch of Beavers, the Beavers pulled a shocker, came hard, and came out on top. Oregon State's improbable 27-20 victory makes it two in a row now over USC in Corvallis, and significantly shakes up the 2008 college football landscape. This was supposed an easy conquest for Southern Cal, but they came out flacid; their confidence, enthusiasm and morale appeared low from the start, and they could just never get it up.
The Trojans' vaunted offense, expected to come into Corvallis and mercilessly penetrate through and score, multiple times, on an inexperienced and previously slayed Beaver defense, was held in check for nearly the entire night. The Trojan defense, commonly considered to be the nation's best, and expected to at least provide a reservoir like protection and containment of any Beaver advances, was gashed, battered, broken and busted wide open by a resilient, grinding Beavers' offense. Trojan fans certainly learned that, despite how good the odds are, the only sure way to ensure you don't get exposed is to simply not step on the playing field at all, but we all know that's not a reasonable alternative.
The only question that remains now is whether the pollsters will actually be able to convince themselves to drop USC to #2. We all know they don't want to. Congratulations, Beavers. I would have paid a pretty penny to be up in that stadium of yours last night, dancing on your field, smelling your majestic Oregon aromas. Maybe some other time. 2010?
Stretches current undefeated streak to 56 years thanks to Venezuela's Dayana Mendoza. She looks pretty.
Miss USA tripped in the evening gown competition for the 2nd year in a row, and the world laughed (I'm sure). To be fair, had I been watching the competition myself, I'm sure I would have laughed too. I mean, everyone can appreciate how truly taxing it must be to walk in an evening gown and not bust your ass, right? Has to rank up there with catching up to that mid nineties fastball when you were really expecting a 12-6 curve, in terms of difficulty. With that in mind, I'm obviously not trying to say that I could saunter on out there and not pull a Rachel Smith/Crystlle Stewart, not without getting in pageant shape first anyway, but I think we also need to remember that these broads are supposed to be the best of the best. Unfortunate, and yet funny as hell given the totality of the cirumstances. Bonus clip of last year's trip and fall after the jump...
Even simultaneous instances of such. Great catch, Kyle, but at what cost? At least this play, which I'm officially nominating for Face Plant of the Year, basically guarantees that Kyle Shelton will be seen on Megatrons in baseball parks around the country for the foreseeable future. Kyle Shelton and the San Diego Chicken: Joined for eternity. You're a utilitarian hero in that sense, Mr. Shelton. That wall may have simply left a mark on your face, but you and your brazen approach to tracking down foul balls have left a mark on the baseball universe, and that's something...even in the context of a 6-1 loss and being eliminated from the College World Series. God bless you, Kyle Shelton.
Good decision, Ty. Once you get the basics down, a world of possibility reveals itself. Check out the one minute mark, Frumpsters. 70/40?!?!?!?!?! Apparently Ty has a difficult time with addition and percentages. Probably not a good gambler. Although, he is pretty proficient at DUI's. To his credit, the triple digits can be quite discouraging. Maybe a return to elementary school is in order.
Actor Harvey Korman passed away a few days ago at the age of 81. Perhaps best known as Hedley Lamar (not Hedy...) from Mel Brooks' epic classic Blazing Saddles, I, perhaps unfortunately, can't say that I'm all that familiar with Korman's other work. I can say, however, that his sublime, tongue-in-cheek take-off portrayal of the cliche, antagonistic old west land grabber was enough to make him immortal in my book. As such, I deicded to compile a handful of my favorite Hedley Lamar clips, or at least the ones I could scrounge up on You Tube. Make the jump for the full compilation. Thanks for all the memories and one-liners, Mr. Korman...
Frueters- Krist Kristoferson and Barbara Streisand are disgusted by the lack of artistic creativity and the pompous display of carlessness seemingly aimed at sabotaging Frumpzilla, Inc. says a spokesman for Ms. Streisand's pre-show vomit bucket and Mr. Kristoferson's beard, shaved chest, and man-hands. Indeed, Ms. Streisand's violent perm speaks loudly and is evidently riddled with metaphors of a safe post-Iraq world amidst a jump shot by Kobe Bryant's rapist wit.
Yes, that's a 4 million dollar rock on that little wedding finger, folks. But what about Robert Redford or Nick Nolte, who is the penultimate co-star/love interest to a Barbara Streisand character? To unravel that riddle is to live an enduring life of enchanted endocrinology.
And if that doesn't scare the bejesus out of you, well, you've got balls the size of melons. Or you just don't give a shit, which is effectively the same thing. Senator Robert Byrd has accomplished a great many things in his 90 years on this Earth, the last 56 of which he's spent as a United States Congressman and Senator, setting the Senate record for longest term of service in the process. Prior to that he held such illustrious titles as "Exalted Cyclops" and "Grand Kleagle" in some organization called the Ku Klux Klan, but that's a story for another day.
Right now Byrd is President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate, a position which, as noted above, puts him third in line to become President should the proverbial cocky-dooky ever hit the fan. So here's how that could pan out: W (The President) resigns upon seeing his approval ratings somehow dip into negative integers, Cheney's heart finally declares it's had enough of this world, and Nancy Pelosi decides to forgo the opportunity to be President, retiring from politics all together, citing the "F" rating she received from the NRA as "posing too great a risk". Meet President Robert C. Byrd.
Yeah, so hopefully the clip below just captures Senator Byrd on a bad day. I mean, I hate it when people refer to themselves in the 3rd person as much as the next guy, but is that something we really want our President to be crusading about? And as for the Senator from Timbuktu, well, I'll just leave it at that...
We typically don't like to pile on here at Frumpzilla (okay, that's a lie), and we know we just posted about O'Reilly's meltdown the other day, but this is just too good to pass up. By the way, the profanity is truly prolific in this, so if you don't have headphones, or happen to be a tourettes counselor, this clip is extremely unsafe for work. Tread carefully, now break it down!
By now I imagine/hope you've all seen Bill O'Reilly's increasingly infamous meltdown from back in his days as host of CBS' Inside Edition. If you haven't, seek it out, because it's a treat (actually, seek no further than the video clip below). CBS, via the requests of both Bill and Fox News I'm sure, has been battling to keep the clip off of YouTube and similar sites, but you can still find it fairly easily.
The Colbert Report helped us all out last night by covering the story, clip included. What's more, Mr. Colbert himself revealed that he knows what it's like to be in Bill's shoes right now. We all make mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes and the frustration that ensues just need to be taken out on some poor, defenseless crew members who live to make your job easier. Everyone knows that...
