Top 5 Horror Movies

I was going through YouTube vids yesterday of peoples Top 10+ Horror Movies. None of them were mine so, I thought, here we go:

5. The Howling - This is to this day the SCARIEST werewolf movie I've ever seen. This movie scared the bejesus out of me when I was little.



4. JAWS - This movie's opening scene is still one of the most well-crafted and wonderfully scary openings to a horror movie ever. Mixed with the lone note score, this is possibly the reason why all of America is afraid of sharks. I know it is for me.



3. IT - This was a made for TV movie that came on in 4 parts. My mom let me tape it and I showed it to my BFF Viviane. To this day, the thought of clowns or rain gutters creep me out. Slept with a lamp on after the scene in the bathroom.



2. The Exorcist - Arguably, this should be everyone's number 1 pick. The only reason it isn't is because I didn't quite get why this was so scary until I was older. This is still one of the most terrifying and realist (seeming) movie I can think of. Also, the possession scene with the crucifix is arguably the most disturbing scene in any movie.



1. POLTERGEIST - This movie is hands-down the scariest thing ever. From the clown that comes to life, to the tree that eats the little boy, to the skin falling off the guys face....NOTHING frightens me more than this movie. To this day, I still can't watch it alone.

Is Tyrone Biggums making a comeback?

I just read today that Dave Chappelle is working on a new TV show. I hope it gets picked up and I hope it is as funny as The Chappelle Show, though I highly doubt it will be another sketch comedy show. You know, he took a lot of flak for leaving Comedy Central at the height of his career but the man had morals. And his moral integrity told him that he was no longer being treated like an artist but more like an object. Gotta admit, not many people in his position would have walked away from a $20 Million dollar contract just for the principle. I'm glad he's back 'cause...I've missed his crazy ass. Let's hope it is a mocumentary (a la Arrested Development) about Eddie & Charlie Murphy in the Eighties.

In honor of those damn hippies!

Today marks the 34th anniversary of the Monterey Pop Festival. Held in 1967 in Monterey, California, it was one of the first widely promoted and heavily attended rock festivals, attracting an estimated 55,000 total attendees with up to 90,000 people present at the event's peak at midnight on Sunday. The festival is remembered for the first major American appearances by Jimi Hindrix and The Who, as well as the first major public performances of Janis Joplin (yes ma'am!)

Ironically, The Rolling Stones didn't play this festival. Now, how the hell does that happen?? I mean, you have this huge musical eargasm occurring at a time when acid is flowing freely and hippies are all about the psychedelic sound and you forget to invite the fucking STONES, man??? Well, to make up for it they did let Brian Jones (guitarist) introduce Hendrix. Still, I feel this is a travesty. With that in mind, I give you The Rolling Stones:

As a person who enjoys large quantities of barley-filled deliciousness, I found these quotes highly amusing! Enjoy.

1. "Being drunk is a good disguise. I get drunk so I can talk to assholes. This includes me." - Jim Morrison

2. "It takes only one drink to get me drunk. The problem is I can never remember if it's the 13th or the 14th one." - George Burns

3. "The problem with some people is that when they aren't drunk, they're sober." - William Butler Yeats

4. "
A drunk driver is very dangerous. So is a drunk backseat driver if he's persuasive." - Demetri Martin

5. "
Yeah, I know, some people are against drunk driving, and I call those people "the cops." But you know, sometimes, you've just got no choice; those kids gotta get to school!" - Dave Atell

I think I've decided on Surrealism...

Politics Explained

FEUDALISM: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.

PURE SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else's cows. You have to take care of all of the cows. The government gives you as much milk as you need.

BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and put them in a barn with everyone else's cows. They are cared for by ex-chicken farmers. You have to take care of the chickens the government took from the chicken farmers. The government gives you as much milk and eggs as the regulations say you need.

FASCISM: You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of them and sells you the milk.

PURE COMMUNISM: You have two cows. Your neighbors help you take care of them, and you all share the milk.

RUSSIAN COMMUNISM: You have two cows. You have to take care of them, but the government takes all the milk.

CAMBODIAN COMMUNISM: You have two cows. The government takes both of them and shoots you.

DICTATORSHIP: You have two cows. The government takes both and drafts you.

PURE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors decide who gets the milk.

REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors pick someone to tell you who gets the milk.

BUREAUCRACY: You have two cows. At first the government regulates what you can feed them and when you can milk them. Then it pays you not to milk them. Then it takes both, shoots one, milks the other and pours the milk down the drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms accounting for the missing cows.

PURE ANARCHY: You have two cows. Either you sell the milk at a fair price or your neighbors try to take the cows and kill you.

LIBERTARIAN/ANARCHO-CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.

SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.

Even in Oklahoma...

There are times when Oklahoma gets a really bad rap. But I read this article about an OK puppy mill from pitbulls being busted and it warmed my heart.

A magic radio?

This is one of the coolest things I've found in a while. Go to Channels to listen to radio station-esque themed music. Or you can search by artist or song title to hear that one song that's been stuck in your head all day!

It's harder than it sounds...

Can you name the 4 groups in under 10 minutes?

http://www.sporcle.com/games/famousfoursomes.php

It's harder than it sounds. Also, 10 minutes could give me plenty of time to Google but I chose not to and scored 61. Not too damn bad, if I do say so myself!

What were your scores?
