Who Here Wants Some Cowbell? [Dave at Garfield Ridge]

Hey everybody, how's it hangin' with Mr. Cooper this Saturday night?

I apologize for my absence today, but I had to catch up on some long-delayed socializing. I can't be a Blorg forever, ya know?

Blorg = Blogger Borg = Someone who must stay awake to post at all hours of the day & night because resistance to the blogging imperative is futile. Did I just invent a word here, or am I late to a word everybody already knows about? It hits on Google, but they're stupid hits. Thus, I will claim this word in the name of Incisor.

Anyways, I'm glad I did leave the house today, because not only did the sunlight replenish my Vitamin Dave deficiency, I learned some important news while visiting my buddy The Mallet.

First off, Miracle is a damn good movie. Lot of sports cliches throughout, but the hockey scenes-- particularly during the match against the Soviets-- are first-rate. It takes expert filmmaking to create suspense when the entire audience knows how the movie ends.

Second, I read the paper-version of the Washington Post, and I caught a story I missed earlier today online:

There was something missing the other night when Blue Oyster Cult, the '70s stadium rockers, kicked into their signature song, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper," in a gig at the Rams Head Tavern in Annapolis.

Fans of the band, and of "Saturday Night Live," knew exactly what the song needed: More cowbell.

Guess who are fans of the cowbell?
Walken, an actor who has specialized in portraying the slightly unhinged, has described the six-minute sketch as career-defining. "People . . . I don't know . . . I hear about it everywhere I go," he told the Orlando Sentinel in October. "It's been years, and all anybody brings up is 'cowbell.' I guess . . . you never know what's gonna click."

Among the more amused viewers of the bit are the actual members of Blue Oyster Cult. "We didn't know it was coming," says Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser, co-founder and lead guitarist of the group. "We all thought it was phenomenal. We're huge Christopher Walken fans." He adds, "I've probably seen it 20 times and I'm still not tired of it."

In honor of the late Gene Frenkle, I wish I could give you the cowbell you demand, the cowbell you deserve.

Alas, I am not Ace, so I can not give you cowbell on his site. That privilege is reserved for he alone.

However, to tide you over until Ace returns, you could always join me in Hulking out:

Hulkamaniacs gotta have more cowbell, brotha!

Can somebody tell me what Hulk Hogan is doing looming over the album cover of Deep Purple In Rock?

Posted by: Jeff B. on January 29, 2005 09:14 PM

Buggering Teddy Roosevelt apparently.

OMG! Fun on so many levels. Don't let this be the last time we see Hogan.

Mighty selfless of you to bust him out for the Ace crowd. Classic.

And yup. "blorg". That belongs to you. Along with:

"MONKEY KARATE EXPLOSION"
I googled it. You own it.

ANOTHER LEFT WING ASSASSIN ATTEMPTS TO KILL TRUMP
If I understand this, the left-wing Democrat assassin attempted to get into the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and was stopped at the magnetometers, which detected his gun. I guess he pulled out the gun and was shot by Secret Service agents.
Erika Kirk was present.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Podcast: CBD and Sefton talk Orban losing, but is it the end of Hungary? The Irish start a brawl, but is it enough, Pope Leo wades into politics, Trump calls Iran's bluff and blockades Hormuz, Artemis II! Swallwell is scum, and more!
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite
thanks to weft-cut loop.
This is the dumbest AI bullslop I've seen in a while: the CIA can use "quantum magnetometry" to track an individual man's heartbeat from twelve miles away
I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.
Classic Rock Mystery Click
This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker.
And I guess you think you've got it made
Oh, but then, you never were afraid
Of anything that you've left behind
Oh, but it's alright with me now
'Cause I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
