Axl Rose…

May 16th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 4 Comments

…Wanted to wish you a “rockin” weekend, and to thank everybody for the thoughtful cards and letters regarding the state of his hair.

My new favorite singer.

May 14th, 2008 by Bill Corbett · 31 Comments

With all respect and reverence to the Chairman of the Board, this is the singer who most captures my imagination at present. (”At present”= roughly three hours.)
Please, ignore his figure skating costume, and his hair-helmet… this video is from the unforgiving 1980s. Just tell me — is he greatness, or is he just […]

What Bob Hath Wrought

May 14th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 11 Comments

According to the Associated Press, this month, forty-three years ago, Bob Dylan and company released what was, arguably, the first music video: D.A. Pennebaker’s storied London Savoy alleyway sixteen millimeter playback portrait of Bob droppin’ the cards. Of course that’s Allen Ginsberg back there, seemingly wearing a tallit.

And true to our spirit here at […]

He Was a Very Good Frank.

May 14th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 20 Comments

Died ten years ago today. As a singer, I feel I have some measly credential to say that he had a hell of a voice. I can’t vouch for whether he was a nice guy or a jerk, I never met the man. But I can tell you that a lot of horn […]

Eat Your Vegetables.

O.K, Kevin…

May 13th, 2008 by Bill Corbett · 11 Comments

I’ll buy your beer all night on Thursday if you use your Mad Photoshoppin Skillz to give Busnip a friend.
And you have a choice. Either a crossbreeding of Nick Nolte +

or Nick Nolte +

So either a Nolteflower, or a Noltcolli. Use whatever images you want.
…Or heck, I’m feeling […]

Dinner! Who’s Hungry for a Busnip?

May 13th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 13 Comments

Only because some of you seem to have a weak stomach regarding our penchant for cross-celebrity mutations, I present the American Purple-top “Gary” Busnip hybrid (Corbett cultivar). With a stronger, more pungent taste than other varieties, the Busnip is commonly baked, occasionally steamed , but perhaps most popular when smashed, spiked with good-quality vodka, […]

Buffer.

OK, morning’s over, and I think we might need a teeny bit of distance from the gaping Hell-maw of Gary Busey, below. So here’s a picture of a turnip:

Unlike Mr. Busey, it’s full of vitamins and dietary fiber, and won’t bite your leg off.
I feel confident I’ve made at least one […]

Good night.

It was a great day, wasn’t it?

You can thank Nick Nolte. And Lipton Tea.

Research confirms that this is NOT in fact one of those novelty covers you can have your picture put on at JC Pennys, like Time “Man of the Year”, but in fact an actual People Magazine cover

Here’s to you, Kim Shin Young

May 12th, 2008 by Conor Lastowka · 3 Comments

In a world before youtube, my friends and I had a much smaller collection of beloved internet videos. The most beloved of them all was a file called money_funny.wmv. It may be known better on the internet as Korean Girls Doing Karaoke, but to me, it will always by Money Funny

Nick Nolte

May 12th, 2008 by Bill Corbett · 15 Comments

…asked me to wish you “good morning.”
He also wants you to know he’s feeling great, despite a rough night.

“Live each day as a gift from Heaven,” concluded Nick, in his message to you.
Step forth into your week knowing that somewhere, out there, Nick Nolte wishes you well. (And no, it’s not just because he […]
