Whack Attack
Richy C: Worryingly enough, I’ve managed to find 581 synonyms for male masturbation – but only 35 for female… (ed. note: I promise to not blog anything masturbatory for a while after this! ;-)
Combovers
This is just too funny: The Combovers Experience. And so is this if you hadn’t seen it already.
Clean the catbox
There’s nothing quite like cleaning out the catbox shortly after you’ve had a sumptuous meal (and as an added bonus, noticing the cat itself had some pretty sumptuous meals as well earlier in the day).
Loathsome List
Most Loathsome People in America, 2002. Where the hell are Bush and Cheney in that list?? Surely they’d have been a better choice than Michael Moore, who did make it in there…
Ladies!
A matter of gender: “I have only ever known one woman to be a fan of FZ (she was from California so may have had a parochial interest in where she could get her poodle clipped in Burbank).All the other women that I’ve met, where the subject of music comes up for discussion, without exception have shown varying degrees of mainly negative reaction from mere disinterest to absolute loathing of FZ and his music.”
Make a Sex Noise
“It’s weird to deconstruct the sounds of sex. It makes you conscious of a lot of stuff you’d normally ignore. I remember thinking, like, oh, that slap will make a good snare drum. Or, wow, that was a freakish set of grunts and moans – I want to make that into a choir later.”
Musician to make album of sex noises
Musibrarium Update
The Big Note update their Musibrarium with a taste of the Frank Zappa “Mystery Box” 10 LP set. This month’s mini-concert is culled from some of FZ’s mid to late ’70’s television appearances. Under Tribute Acts you’ll find a bunch of Zappa covers by Pierre-Jean Gaucher. And you may also want to check out the member contributions…
Funny Girl
The Irreverent Guide to Barbra Streisand. ‘Nuff said…
CNN Hones Propaganda Skills
Dan Gillmor says: “…in the middle of a supposed news report, [CNN is] playing ominous-sounding music in the background while the anchor/reporter talks and the images are displayed on the screen. This is a technique movie-makers use to stir up viewers’ emotions. It works.“
Sex-Happy Hippy??!
Take a look at this exhilarating pulp cover!!! what on earth has to do Zappa on that illustration? (seen in yahoo’s Zappa-list)
When all else fails, post a dumb test!
Number of the beast
Rockers and their propagation of the number 666. I wonder what number “Christian rockers” claim… 777?
For those who love noses
A test with a certain Zappa Aroma: Pick That Nose! I got 7 out of 16 right…
