.:DataWhat?:.

I'm totally a sucker for this kind of thing:
Ol-skool cut and paste comic strips, where altering one or two panels can totally change the feel or message.



Quick aside: When I worked for the grounds department at UofM, every morning Gerard would get a newspaper and if a single panel of a comic strip was particularly weird (especially if taken out of the context of the other panels) I would tear it out and tape it to the back window of our truck from the inside. By the end of the Summer, we had a really bizarre collection of single panels that made sense only to me.

P.S. I was huffing a lot of lawn fertilizer at the time.

I just watched Caddyshack again for about the three hundredth time and I realized something: There's a lot of stuff in that movie that isn't really all that funny.

The gopher stuff is kind of sub-Warner Bros.-era slapstick, the Baby Ruth candy bar in the pool, the dunderheaded nephew, the pregnancy scare with the girl with the atrocious Scottish(?) accent, most of the scenes with Danny the "hero" of the story, the bizarro Esther Williams-style water ballet, the infighting between the Caddies...all of that really doesn't do it for me.

The interactions between Rodney Dangerfield and Ted Knight are comic gold, and any time Bill Murray has to talk to anybody besides a sock puppet are super entertaining, but for me Chevy Chase's zen neurotic wiseass is the real gem of the picture. He glides through each scene murmuring to himself and making asides in an almost Marxian (Groucho, not Karl) fashion. His demeanor is so lo-fi that he almost acts as though he'd rather not be seen...mixing drinks, riding in the car, trying to play through...his lost and damaged rich kid-turned-manchild is a little bit unsettling, but I can't keep my eyes off of the screen whenever he's on.

Best scene in the movie in my opinion:

Chevy Chase plays Ty Webb (but who are we kidding, in every movie he's just playing Chevy Chase) and Cindy Morgan plays Lacy Underall (a ribald pun) who is sort of a smarter version of Paris Hilton. In this scene, Lacey has turned up unannounced at Chevy's hip 1980 bachelor pad:




Chevy: Well, hello! Surprise, surprise!
Lacey: Are you busy?
Chevy: No, come on in.
Chevy sweeps his arms out and puts his hand through an Asian paper screen
Chevy: Go ahead. It's nothing.
Lacey: I tried calling, but there is no listing for "Mr. Wonderful."
Chevy: What spelling did you use?



Chevy: Sorry about this mess. Let me just clean up here. I'm getting ready for the season.
picks up a water ski and a compound bow with arrows
Lacey: Duck?
Chevy: No, no. Dolphin. Would you like a drink? Tuna Colada, perhaps?
Lacey: Anything. Who's your decorator, Benihana?
Chevy: No, I brought most of that stuff back from Vietnam. limping
Lacey: You were in the war?
Chevy: Uh...no... Homo. Much better now, though. sound clip



Lacey: Here's an uncashed check for $70,000.
Chevy: Keep it.
Lacey: There's a bunch of them ! And a summons.
Chevy: It's yours.
this whole time, he's collecting the remnants of Perrier from different bottles around his living room, pouring them into one bottle and loosely affixing the bottle cap back on. He demonstrates the very fake "opening" of this "new" bottle
Lacey: Pretty pathetic, Ty.
Chevy: Pathetic? Maybe for you, Lacey. For me, there's a subtle perfection in everything I do. I've got my own standards, my own way.
Lacey: My uncle says you've got a screw loose.
Chevy: Your uncle molests collies. And you're rather...attractive for...a beautiful girl with a great body. sound clip



at the Fender Rhodes piano doing tequila shots
Lacey: Sing me a love song.
Chevy: I'm going to.
Lacey: This stuff is terrible.
Chevy: It's good. You don't know how to do it.
Lacey: How do I do it?
Chevy: I'm going to show you.
Chevy snorts salt off of his wrist, bites the lemon, then tosses the shot over his shoulder onto the floor



Chevy's love song:
"l was born to love you."
"l was born to lick your face."
"l was born to rub you..."
"...but you were born to rub me first."
sound clip
Chevy: Let's go onto the...patio room.


Chevy is giving Lacey a massage
Chevy: You know what this is called in the East? It's the "big rub."

he pinches her shoulderblades, looking confused
Chevy: You have very...very small breasts. Juusst kidding. sound clip
Chevy: I'll work my way down. This is the lsle of Wight.
Lacey: Careful.
Chevy: I'm going to move right down the Ticonic Parkway...over to your clavula...
Lacey: Will you get serious?
Chevy: That's a very "in" thing to say.
Lacey: Ow! That hurts!
Chevy: You're blocking! Just hold on to your choppers. I'll just get a little more oil.



oil goes everywhere
Chevy: Now I've done it. You get that way from...Oh, I'm sorry. It's like reaching under the rug.

Lacey: You're crazy!
Chevy: That's what they said about Son of Sam. You know something else? I'm a very qualified acupuncturist. sound clip
he picks up a cocktail toothpick with olives stuck onto it
Lacey: Don't even think about it!
Chevy: I'm just going to eat these. I want you to know about it. It's like acupressure but it's acupuncture. The slightest prick and you wouldn't even know--
Lacey: I'll kill you!
Chevy: No, I did not do that.
Chevy: You feel looser? I feel like 100 dollars.
Lacey: Will you forget the massage...and just kiss me, you fool.



Much Thanks to CarlSpackler.com

The San Francisco Chronicle has a great article on why Journey's "Escape" album is so awesome.
Listening to the song "Escape" is the equivalent of getting a personal two-hour life-coaching session by Tony Robbins and then smoking PCP.

Henry Rollins has this funny bit about seeing parents traveling in airports:

"Have you seen parents at airports? They just become, like Baby Roadies. Like a truckload of gear, for a nine pound thing. Like "Who's the Rock Star?" It is this big, it shits itself, and the guy has like: Hip Pack. Fanny Pack. Front Pack. Back Pack. And he's like walking around with all the diapers and all this shit and the woman's like "ugggggg" and they have Sherpa guides behind them holding packages: "Ho-We-Oh. We-Ohhhh-oh." "Where are you guys going?" "We're loading the baby and entourage onto the plane."

So Matt Tobey and I are both about to have kids (his in June, mine in September) and we were both bitching about how every single piece of parenting information and advice out there is geared toward Moms. Parenting Magazine's header says "What Really Matters to Moms", and looking through all of the crazy crap from Baby's 'R' Us says "What Moms Need To Know" but there's really not anything geared toward Dads (that isn't sponsored by the Christian Church or people even creepier). It's all really stale, and geared toward guys in Dockers ads jockying for Father Of The Year...what about us poor saps who are just trying to get by? Guys who listen to rock music and drink beer out of cans, but still want to be decent dads?

So we invented BabyRoadies.com



Out plan is to make it a repository for guys who are trying to figure stuff out to get some information, and for those wise souls who have figured out how to get gum out of your kid's hair, please share your wealth of knowledge with us.

There's also a forum Here:
Feel free to go in there and spread your seeds of wisdom.

I've been around both sides of this story, so it's tough to have a lot of sympathy either way, but one of my pals stumbled across this disgruntled band bitching on MySpace about their experiences at a club, and the guy from the club's response.

(screencaps Here, Here, and Here as I'll imagine the band will pull 'em down at some point.)

The part I liked the best was when the guy in the band said "For some reason, the show started about a half an hour late, so we were stuck sitting there for way longer than we wanted to be." and then "Now, it's show time! It's after 11:30 PM and we're all tired."

Dear Ms. Sanchez:

I recently became the manager of a governmental agency that had a recent unexpected downsizing in force. Even though I realize it's 10 PM at night, I need replacements very quickly. I am looking for experienced staff in the following areas:

**Database administration
**Cryptological analysis
**Torture Specalist I and Torture Specalist II
**Medics

Also, if they could all arrive at once and come into the building like the models on Deal or No Deal so they would look intimidating to the remaining staff, that would be great.

Particularly interesting to me was the PDF in this post regarding the Berkman Center for Internet and Society's study on music recommendation.

Which led me to MusicStrands Labs. They have a bunch of cool tools in development to play around with, including some similar artist, album, and song recommendations.

I have to say though, that this playlist based on my Last.FM profile brought back some wack results:

10 songs
7 songs with the word "Black" in it
1 song with the word "Back" in it
1 song with the word "Blanc" in it
and "Knives Out" by Radiohead.

My guess is that they're still working out the kinks.
