07.06.08 by Widge @ 3:18 am Larry Harmon, the man responsible for most of us knowing who Bozo the Clown is--and who owned the Bozo franchise--died earlier this week. And in tribute, here's a couple of Bozo clips I found online. I never knew before how the whole Bozo thing worked--I'll let you read the Wikipedia article for the full skinnee--but Pinto Colvig, the original voice of Goofy, was the first Bozo. Harmon was a Bozo, then bought the rights to Bozo. Then he licensed the rights to local television stations to have their own actors play Bozo, the most popular of which was Bob Bell on WGN in Chicago. More on him in a moment. Could not find any footage online of Larry as Bozo, but somebody posted this appearance of the character on What's My Line? in 1969 and it seemed fitting to share. According to Wikipedia, the actor, Gordon Ramsey, who played Bozo for WOR in New York, then appeared later on the show as himself as another mystery guest. I wish I could find that segment to couple with this. Direct link for the feedreaders. Categorized as: TV

07.06.08 by Widge @ 1:40 am One of my favorite bits from French & Saunders, they smack around Lord of the Rings in the same fashion they did Harry Potter. Direct link for the feedreaders. And just for the record, I've seen online birthdates for her from July 5th to July 12th, though most of them say today. So if for some reason we're a day late or a trifle early, so be it. A bit of Edina after the break. Categorized as: TV

07.05.08 by Widge @ 8:29 pm  No, B-Naut's not in any sort of actual contest, but he is nonetheless. DJ B-Naut, for those of you just joining us is our not-so-tame resident turntablist, one of the key Needcoffee Irregulars. When we inflicted the Cow Song from Sesame Street onto audiences at our film fest, B-Naut took up the challenge and remixed the hell out of it, bitching over IM at me most of the way there. Now, B-Naut has been tapped to remix a song for Universal Records. And it's done. You can download it right now from Digital Eargasm. It's by Anything But Monday, and it's "Wild And Stupid (DJ B-Naut Sex, Cuts, and RockNRoll Remix)". Bear in mind that the song is shared via zShare and thus you may be greeted by pictures of scantily clad female bums. Anatomy bums, not women who want to squeegee your car windshield for a buck. Although if that's your thing, I'm sure you can find something on Google or Craigslist that will help you out. Anyway, potentially NSFW. And DE has auto-music playing that I can't figure out how to block. Regardless. Categorized as: Music

07.05.08 by Widge @ 6:20 pm I feel like a hamster in a cage during most of my life anyway...would I really want to get inside a giant, motorized hamster ball? Um...yeah. Yeah, I think I would. If the people who are promoting Disney's upcoming Bolt don't try to include this in their marketing somehow, then they're mental. Also, can this technology be used to advance getting me my very own War Wheel? Because I still need one of those. Direct link for the feedreaders. Wait, one last thought: is this thing, for hamsters, what giant car-crushing bigfoot trucks are to humans? Categorized as: Gear
