OMG, LOL!!! :)

No really, I laughed out loud while reading this today. It's an excerpt from Cracked.com's 25 Most Ridiculous Band Names in Rock History, and it's Puddle of Mudd clocking in at #17:






The story: The 1993 Missouri River flood left the band's practice space a muddy mess, which led them to this name-instead of the far better one, Missouri River Flood.


Why it's ridiculous: Not only do we get an extra "d" for no reason (these guys are the anti-Staind), we also have the privilege of getting an altogether unnecessary word. No, it couldn't just be Mudd Puddle. We definitely need that extra "of." Just like when you're ordering lunch and will sometimes get a sandwich of tuna with chips of potato. Bonus ridiculousness: This band name would actually work perfectly as the name for a bohemian coffee shop where a girl in an orange tank top with a brown bandana on her head asks if you want an organic wheat muffin.



Man that part about the "sandwich of tuna" is just fantastic. That's where I LOL'd. Hell I almost ROFL'd, I shit you not. Anyway, feel free to read the rest of the article, just click the link up there near the top.

Stolen from Cracked

I was reading this article on Cracked.com today about 6 technologies that should be dead, but aren't. As always (or usually) the articles on Cracked make me laugh out loud, or LOL, at least once. Hell, sometimes I even LMAO or ROFL. I like Roffeling, it puts me in a better mood.

Anyway, one of the technologies they speak of is magazines. I for one still read magazines sometimes, but I can see where they're coming from when discussing it's uselessness. Just read this excerpt from the article regarding magazines going belly-up:

" As for magazines, two that went bust in just the last year include Life and Stuff--which together should technically cover every subject ever. FHM US, Jane and Child also went under, covering all the bases from "liking tits" and "having tits" to "the purpose of tits." When a titty-triple-threat can't stay profitable there is just no way to make a profit. Trust us, we know. "

Yeah, so, that's good stuff right there. I chuckled a little bit on the line "should cover every subject ever" but the whole "titty-triple-threat" is just fucking hilarious. I'm still laughing a little bit now.

Anyway, that's all I got.

I was gonna post up the Transworld video "And Now..." but it's already been taken down.
Check back later, I'll find it somewhere else. Peace.
