Hello Nobody,
I was compelled to make a funny little video that was inspired by the great Mel Brooks.
Over the holidays Old Navy ran a whole bunch of commercials for some of the shit clothes that they sell. You know the stuff they pay little kids 2 cents (How come computers don't have a cents sign? What the fuck! "¢" I found one online!) a month to make! And then they sell it to you for $4.99 and it falls apart after you wash it twice. You know, that shit? "Festive Fleeces everyone! The blood of children on every one!" But I digress.
Anyway, all these Old Navy commercials featured a bunch of hunky guys, or bears, running around without shirts on! And every time I saw one of these commercials, I would break into "The French Mistake," from the VERY un-politically correct movie Blazing Saddles. (Do you know they offered Johnny Carson, Gene Wilder's role and he said "no?")
Yatta Yatta Yatta, I made this video. Plus I've attached the scene from Blazing Saddles! Notice the similarities!
Oh Balls! I can't embed the scene from Blazing Saddles. Here's the stupid link...

Wonton Weekend!
(My first go at this post was a bit terse. So I'm redoing it. Do over.)
Back in the mid-90's I was extremely bored. So bored I went out and got a public access TV show on the Buffalo cable carrier. It was literally as easy as taking two classes and a written test. I missed one of the classes and cheated on the test. And my show, Brainstorm, was born!(I named the show after my relationship with my girlfriend at the time. I'm Brad, her name was/is Rain and we fought a lot. She hit me with her car once.)
Needless to say, Brainstorm was a pretty awful show. I barely knew how to edit anything. I didn't have any good ideas. And I was fighting with my girlfriend constantly. There's one hour long episode of me and the douches I used to hang out with back then sitting around my apartment talking about Star Trek. I also used to tape me and my friend Mike playing video games. And just throw all that on the air.
Unfortunately, I have all the episodes, a whopping six of them, on some giant sized video tapes that are being stored in the basement of Micheal's Catering Hall in Orchard Park, NY. (Are you getting lost in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season? Let Micheal's cater your office or family Christmas/Chaka Chan party.) I have no access to them, and even if I did, I have no way to transfer them to digital.
So, you can imagine how shocked I was when a former intern of mine unearthed this classic Brainstorm clip on Youtube! I'm singing "Sliver" by Nirvana, which I remember being really into at the time, with my friend John Destefano's band, Crunchy Frog. Although for this performance and for one brief Rock 'N Roll moment we were Wonton Weekend!!!!
I came up with the name Wonton Weekend when I was in college. You see one weekend... oh F it. Watch the stupid video and CRINGE!!!! And those were my REAL glasses.
