Know anybody who could use this advice?

http://www.avclub.com/content/feature/the_a_v_club_guide_to_getting_a

A tattoo is the boldest form of self-expression there is, but if that self-expression requires more than five seconds to explain, it's a failure. Aim for artwork that requires no justification at all, or, if you must, a simple slogan (i.e. "Thug Life") with a self-evident meaning. If someone asks about your tattoo and you have to say, "The wizard represents the magic of possibility, and he's holding a camera because I take photos, and the flames are because I'm really passionate about pursuing it as a career, hence these Chinese characters for 'Hope,'" then you lose. Brand yourself with "Tries too hard" instead—that, at least, gets the message across.

As if dating O.J. Simpson for years isn't embarrassing enough...


... she allows herself to be photographed wearing this t-shirt. Didn't she steal that motto from you, hugelush?

To all hip hop junkies:

This is my favorite artist at the moment, Black Milk. He is from Detroit and was born in '83 and this is him in '06 in his "studio" making an amazing beat in less than 5 minutes.

This is the future of Hip Hop !!

Great...

Well this is only part one of the AV Club's two-part preview of new fall TV, but it is pretty fucking uninspiring. I'm usually willing to give anything remotely interesting an episode or two, but the only show that really fits that category is FX's Sons of Anarchy. On a dependable network, good cast....about biker gangs? Well, we'll see.

If you were wondering when Fbook would start it's tumble, the time has come.

Sorry Thomps, another genius idea taken from you.

Keep it movin'

An overlooked part of the recent underwhelming Bucks trade is Desmond Mason once again being jettisoned. Stories like this remind me why D. Mase will be a fixture on this guy's NBA 2K bench until he retires...or at least as long as his dunk rating stays nice and lofty.

What up Biddy.

Quick, is this the next UW chancellor, a 14 year-old boy who loves his family, Halo 3 and frolf, or a marginal Jonah Hill impersonator? Let's just say it's a bit of each, but for these purposes it's Carolyn Martin, incoming UW chancellor.

My interaction with outgoing chancellor John Wiley was limited to seeing him smoke cigarettes outside of my former place of employment, Bascom Hall. So not much for me to say there.

Instead let's look at some fun facts about the H.B.I.C.:
  • Nickname is Biddy...fun.
  • Spent time in Madison in the 80s...me too!
  • Undecided on lowering the drinking age to 18...interesting.
  • The first openly gay leader of UW...terrific.
  • A big sports fan and former athlete, who comes from a family of coaches...clearly the most important thing here, gotta remember what keeps the UW boat afloat.
  • Loves cats...no mention of that, but I'll just assume as much.

Something we can all learn from...

Hammertime

http://www.avclub.com/content/feature/random_roles_fred_the_hammer

This is a great AV Club Random Roles interview with OG Fred Williamson. Some prime excerpts:

FW: You can't kill me, I want to win all my fights, and I get the girl at the end of the movie, if I want her. Those are my three Hollywood rules.

FW: ...In my films, I was an equal-opportunity ass-kicker. I'd kick white people's ass, black people's ass, pink people's ass, blue people's ass. If you were bad, you got your ass kicked.

Craig'sList Classics

HENCHMEN NEEDED (London, but planned worldwide expansion)
Reply to: job-783766933@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-08-05, 2:34PM BST


20-30 henchmen needed for moderately-sized supervillain organisation with large expansion potential (fortresses built into geological structures, corruption of government officials, possible genesis of 'nemesis' vigilante). Electrical theme.

Applicants must be willing to learn new skills, including but not limited to operation of specialised 'lightning guns'. Applicants will also be required to wear specialised uniform when at work (functional rubber suits with my logo on front), except in cases where deception is required (posing as hostages in order to ambush vigilantes, etc).

Desired (but not necessarily required) in applicants:

-interesting deformations/obsessions/powers(?) giving rise to interesting nicknames (e.g. Claws, Pyro, Buzzsaw, and similar)
-unwavering loyalty
-being a corruptible government official
-ability to work as part of a close-knit team (unless interesting obsession is of the 'lone wolf' variety)
-grudge against any well-known vigilante
-flexible moral code

Equal opportunies employer. Both henchmen and femmes fatales absolutely welcome.

Great promotion opportunities - right-hand-man position constantly being unexpectedly opened. Would look good on any future supervillain resume/CV.

Send an email with details of any prior henchman work, or details of what is driving you to join the ranks of a supervillain organisation. Will reply to all serious applicants. Hope to hear from you, and with luck, welcome you into a rewarding and promising career!

More Kanye Comedy

Kanye West closed out Lollapalooza Sunday night. After my experience seeing him at Bonnaroo (see earlier post) and my disappointment with most of "Graduation," my expectations for his set couldn't have been any lower, so I was shocked that he delivered what was probably the best non-Roots hip hop show I've seen. He was on stage with a large band and several backup singers (the only pre-recorded parts were the verses of high profile guest singers) and rapped with tremendous energy and passion. Don't worry, I still think he's a douchebag. Fortunately, in the interests of comedy, he also brought his ego.

Here's a close approximation of his monologue about halfway through the show:

"I want you to tell your kids about me. Years from now, when they telling you what they into, I want you to say 'It ain't like Kanye.' In all other creative fields, you're supposed to push… in anything, in computers… If you were back in the '70s, with a big-ass computer that took up a whole room, and said 'In 20 years, we'll have a computer that fits in the palm of my hand,' that's what you're supposed to do. In music, they're obsessed with the past… If you dare say you're one of the greats, they'll call you crazy, asshole, out of your mind. If you dare to mention yourself in the same breath as James Brown, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix… If I don't say who I am first, no one else will. My job onstage tonight is to try and be the greatest of all time… I'm not saying I'm there yet, not at all. But I'm going to the studio tonight, so that might change in the morning."
