Behold! Frumpzilla's content filtered by tags. You've landed here via our tag cloud, or maybe you simply came across this page in an organic search. Either way, thanks for the visit, and please bear with us, 'cause this whole "tagging" stuff is relatively new to the site. The results below are associated with a specific "tag", and are just snippets of the entire article/entry. Click on the title or "Jump!" to read more.
But please don't take that assessment the wrong way, Frumpsters. With those qualifiers, such a video could still be, generally speaking, pretty damn shitty, and that's basically what we have after the jump.
So yeah, a trusted source just informed me that North Carolina State alumnus John Tesh is responsible for that envigorating, nearly unforgettable jam/theme song for the "NBA on NBC". Yes, Wolfpackers, I'm afraid it's true, and on both counts. Now, if an acquaintance, or even a complete stranger, had told me that over a pint or ten down at the local watering hole, I'd of called them a bald-faced liar and asked them to kindly leave. Otherwise, fistifcuffs would almost certainly ensue, and understandably so. I mean, I just don't take the alleged association of things like competitive sports and John Tesh lightly, and I've always felt such sentiment was perfectly reasonable...UNTIL NOW
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, in case you haven't noticed, some of us are a wee bit pumped up for the rivalry game tomorrow between State and carolina. I am no different. The douches are favored and "should" win this game, but that doesn't faze me. I have a good feeling about the game. You know who else has a good feeling about the game?? Unborn baby fetuses! (or is it feti?) Below is a picture I found here. It shows an unborn child already supporting the school it will undoubtedly follow through good and bad(mostly bad...sorry little guy/gal, it's an uphill battle). I take this as a good sign, GO WOLFPACK!!
More youtubage of The Pack after the jump!
(authors's note: Yes, I understand photoshop exists and that the date is 8/29/08...but I choose to believe it's real and ignore the date and still view it as a sign!)
(2nd author's note: Yes, I meant to leave carolina uncapitalized.)
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!
There's been a lot of hoopla about ESPN allegedly dropping the ball by not running the clip of the Dawgs' Knowshon Moreno hurdling a Chippewa defender (or really any highlights from the game) last Saturday through the ole Bristol Hype Machine. I think they may have finally got around to showing it on, like, Tuesday or something, but for it to not even make the package for Gameday Final is beyond me. The #2 team in the country, SEC East leaders putting a beatdown on the defending MAC champions isn't all that newsworthy, I agree. But a Heisman candidate doing some of the things Knowshon did here? This could have been Moreno's "Heisman Hype Clip", ala Charles Woodson's one handed pick or something, but instead we don't even get a little taste of the glory? To see what it tastes like? Come on, Bristol.
Anyways, I won't drop "conspiracy" outside of quotation marks (yet), but I will say that the likelihood of this happening to Beanie Wells or Tebow, or anyone on the USC roster, is extremely low. ESPN has their favorites, and they have their reasons (arguably good reasons). I understand ESPN is a business first and foremost, I just think they should run that as a disclaimer from time to time in their Bottom Line ticker or something...
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.
I thought things were supposed to be, you know, like real progressive up there. At least it seemed that way on Gilmore Girls (I was forced to watch).
This clip of a 78-year-old, Hartford, Connecticutt man getting run over in the middle of the street, almost intentionally it seems, is one of the more shocking things I've seen in awhile. I wish I could say that was so because of the fact that, well, I don't typically see people get run over everyday. Unfortunately, the more uncanny thing about this footage is the apparent realization that no one seemed to give a shit.
Several cars drive past, pedestrians gawk but don't seem particularly concerned, it really is a mind blast. Hell, some guy on a Vespa actually does figure 8's around the victim's motionless body before riding off to what I presume was the nearest independent coffee house. When people that own Vespa's stop caring, you know we're f*cked, and, for better or worse, I'm sure this video will feed the egos of all the pundits espousing the gradual moral decay in our society.
I've always thought that was a bit of a politically motivated myth. I've taken it with a pound of salt, you know (as I do with most things even remotely political), but maybe I should cut back on my sodium. At least the police got there at an alarmingly quick clip. I guess we can put that potential myth to bed...
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...
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...
Oh wait, he just did that. Kobe takes the whole "Mamba" motif a bit too far here if you ask me, and I don't really understand the purpose behind teaming up with Jackass, but hey, it's Kobe. What's next on Kobe's "To Jump" list, homeless people? Since that's been done, I guess the odds are slim to none, though, with a 3-0 lead over the Spurs, Kobe could probably get away with just about anything. You never know...
Manchester United ran out winners yesterday after a penalty shootout in the Champions League Final. Neither team could find a go ahead goal in the 2nd half, and the two English sides ended regulation locked in a 1-1 draw. 30 minutes of extra time proved the same; No Golden Goal found the back of the net despite some great chances, and the stage was set for a classic, nail biter of a shootout.
The match, which for the most part was quite tactical, showed flashes of brilliance, and Frumpzilla has taken the liberty of cataloging some of the highlights for you. Below you'll find Cristiano Ronaldo opening up the scoring with a great goal in the 26th minute, his 42nd of the campaign. Make the jump for several other key plays, as well as the penalty shootout in its entirety. Enjoy.
