today's post may not be that long, as i've still got more studying to do. between yesterday and today one would think i were diligently applying myself towards my education.
further inspection, however, would prove that i just barely did any studying yesterday because i was being lazy.
c'est la vie.
you know what today is, right? it's november 7th, or international "do-crazy-crap-on-a-bike day"! everyone from young to old, from humans to shrubbery
can be seen riding these fantastic two-wheeled contraptions.hey, look--it's tick villain chairface chippendale:
(that joke's sole demographic was dr. jam)you know, for years i questioned why i was driving cars, when i can just hoist them on a bike and ride them down the road:
now i know that i was just being a naïve youth. the rule is that bigger and faster things must always go on top of smaller, more crushable things. so whenever you see someone going down the road like this:
you call them a giant wuss-bag and you spit on their car.speaking of cars, my one complaint about these modern-marvels is the rear-view mirror. it's just not big enough. when i want to look behind me, i want my entire field-of-vision to be enveloped by reflective glass:
now this guy's got the right idea! only look where you've been; live in the past. yes, good.you know, i've always been the biggest movie buff i know. go ahead and quiz me on scenes from wizard of oz, citizen kane, or most any disney film, and i'm guaranteed to blow your mind with the poignant response: "i've never seen it." therefore, i was looking around yahoo's movie page, and found the area which they have the top and bottom ranked movies of all time.
the top was a tie between 7 movies ranging from star wars and return of the king, to shawshank redemption and schindler's list. however, the bottom was one single F, given to gigli, the movie everyone loves to hate. now, i've never seen this bit of cinematic brilliance, but to refresh the minds of you reeds, it was the highly anticipated team-up between jennifer lopez and ben affleck.
this made me think of a movie i watched recently: day of the dead. now, day of the dead was fun to mock, but often lacked the, how would you say it, skill of acting. plus, i'm not sure if george a. romero had intended to catapult his script towards us with such eloquence, but he sure did with lines like "i'm running this monkey farm now, frankenstein," which usually isn't heard outside of a doctoral thesis.
and then, of course, there is plan 9 from outer space. this famous cult classic showed the world that ed wood was a far better comedian when he wasn't trying to make us laugh:
"visits? that would indicate visitors"
"i'll bet my badge that we haven't seen the last of those weirdies"
"now, don't you worry. the saucers are up there. the graveyard is out there. but i'll be locked up safely in there."
who needs pronouns to relate to things? certainly not this guy. or that one.
maybe him though.
well, i'm afraid that's all the time we have today, reeds. i'm off to study for an exam that's in a few short hours.
everyone start posting your ideas for this friday's wiki-licious topic! comment on any post. why not today's? or last friday's. it's your call.
have a wonderful tuesday. oh, and for all you other people, this is chairface chippendale, a villian from the tick:

You forgot the truest worst movie of all time, which would:
Manos: Hands of Fate.
Warning: this is not kitschy, it is not "so bad its good," it is regular, old everyday horrendous. It is not an enjoyable movie. At all. Its bad. If you don't watch it with a group of patient friends who will mercilessly ridicule it or get the MST:3000 version, do not watch.
