Bad Childish Geekery: A Star Wars Christmas

Atomic sends a link to a horrific Christmas album, sung chiefly by C-3PO and Chewbacca (!).

Would have liked to have heard "The Christmas Song" performed by Grand Moff Tarkin.

In a cosmic convergence of vileness, it turns out that fronting one of the choruses on the album was a then-unknown 18-year-old named John Bongiovi, who of course would later call himself John Bon Jovi.

What the crap is this? Horrible, horrible, horrible.

Unrealted Geekery: William Shatner explains his differences with Michael Moore, in song. Or, rather, "song."

Thanks to Hubs and Spokes (formerly Marcland), who also tips to a WSJ article which speculates that a Washington State re-vote might actually happen.

Friend of mine found a video of the "Star Wars Holiday Special" on eBay a while back and told me about it. It sounded absolutely atrocious. Description at:

Man, I wish Grand Moff Tarkin would do more acoustic sets.

You know, really explore the studio space.

Bon Jovi?

Try Buongovianni! I knew his deaf (Tony B - NJ wop) brother when he owned/ran NYC recording studio PowerStation in the early / mid 80's. His name was Tony and he mixed the tracks for Top Gun and was deaf as a stone. I sold him a $150K video projector for his "a" mix room...... His partner was Ed .... blah

Tony told me (at the time) John was stoopid and that he made him, and bragged that the younger wop sister would be bigger a star because of him .( and eclipse the Kerry backing loooser - my judgement here)

Not to be PC-- but what's this "wop" crap?

What's the point of saying that?

Posted by: ace on January 11, 2005 02:41 AM

"Bells Bells Bells bells Bells."

Most of you probably didn't make it past the first song. But I did.

And I will never be the same.

Hey guys just a warning, there is also a made for TV star wars christmas special out there. With Maude from the golden girls playning a sultry owner of a cantina or some crap. Trust me, the tv special makes this album sound great, the addition of video makes it so, so much worse. There is also a segment that includes Chebaccass dad watching some crazy disco porn on a virtual reality orgasmotronic headset thing. I swear this was the most vile, and disgusting bit of programming ever commited to the airwaves. Ace , for the sake of readers with more delicate sensibilities, please please do not dig out a link to the tv show. Im serious, the world is not ready to revisit that horrific moment in history.

Posted by: Marty on January 11, 2005 08:39 AM

It's worse than that. Not only was Bea Arthur in it, but you also get to see Harvey Korman, Art Carney, and Dihann Carroll.

A couple feature songs were "Bells, Bells, Bells" and "What Do You Get A Wookie For Christmas".

I believe I have a digital copy of the whole special on my computer somewhere. I'll have to look and see if I can still find it.

Google finally gets one right
Months ago, I reported that the final Zodiac cypher had been cracked and the name of the killer revealed. And the name of the killer turned out to be someone suspected in the unsolved Black Dahlia murder. The general tone of my mention of this was "serious you guys, this is real."
Well, it's not real. It's total bullshit.
Sorry about that. I did two things: 1, I bought into something, a conspiracy theory really, because it was new and exciting. And 2, I allowed a self-declared "expert" to snow me over with his "expert" claims about solving ciphers, an alleged expertise I could not challenge because I know practically nothing about codebreaking. I remember being similarly swindled by self-declared "experts" babbling about "chromatic aberrations." (Although I didn't really buy into that, but I found it "interesting" and I wasn't strongly skeptical about it. Hey they said they're "experts," they must know that they're talking about, right?)
I screwed up. It won't be the last time, I'm sure.

Chocolate Cherry Cordial
You must not think me mad when I tell you what I found below the thin shell of chocolate used to disguise this bonbon's true face. Yes! Hidden beneath its rich exterior is a hideously moist cherry cordial! What deranged architect could have engineered this non-Euclidean aberration? I dare not speculate.

Caramel Chew
There is a dimension ruled by a blind caramel God-King who sits on a vast, cyclopean milk-chocolate throne while his mindless, gooey followers dance to the piping of crazed flutes. It is said that there are gateways in our world that lead to this caramel hell-planet. The delectable Caramel Chew may be one such portal.

The Short Unhappy Life of a Russian Soldier: Why recruits die in 20-30 minutes
Interesting video. Some key parts: drones were responsible for 70-80% of all battlefield deaths in mid-2025, and I bet it's higher now. The Russian army is incredibly corrupt. Men get assigned to the most dangerous frontline units, the "Storm" units, unless they pay a superior $2,000 to be assigned to a different unit. Furthermore, there is often no real training for recruits -- commanders pocket the money that would have gone towards fuel and ammo costs incurred during training. Much "training" consists just of taking a single picture of soldiers doing something soldier-y, like fording a river, and publishing that as proof that the training was done. Even when it is done, training is only two weeks long.
