Guess whose album comes out tomorrow....


Holy Shit!

And I quote:

"As co-emcee of the seminal rap group Cypress Hill, this rap frontiersman formed an integral part of an evolution, with the likes of Public Enemy, Beastie Boys and Run-DMC, rising up to blur the lines of musical division. Broadening the genre, they welcomed a vast cross-section of society to enjoy the wealth of aural wonders, always encouraging open-mindedness. Stamp in hand; this Latin linguist burned his rap across the cultural map

"Constantly on the prowl, Cuban-born Senen Reyes, aka SEN DOG, has survived in the hip-hop world for nearly two decades and had enjoyed Top 10 singles (“How Could I Just Kill a Man”, “Insane In The Brain” and “Rock Superstar”), #1 albums on the Billboard Charts (Black Sunday) and countless platinum and gold plaques (over 17 million albums sold worldwide).

"Nearly two decades in the making… the Dog has broken out of the cage for a singular attack on hip-hop’s jugular! Drawing from a treasure-trove of personal and professional experiences – the good, bad and ugly of it all – Sen Dog’s bark is louder than ever on his debut solo album - Diary of a Mad Dog available September 30th."

Really embarrassed about posting a recent Weezer setlist now

Hey Peach, what's going on? I'm still at work, trying to work out what ingredients I already have at home for a pork stir-fry recipe I discovered in a magazine on my desk. If I don't have Hoisin, can I just use honey?

Snowclone?

Snowclone.

Alligator Fuck House - Snowclone? (with an xXx post script)

I've decided I want to make 'Alligator Fuck House' a snowclone.

I think it'd be a really good one, Goo. It's an expression of surprise, joy, and - occasionally - sexual desire.

Also: it should always be all capitalised. CAPS make it totally rad.

...

Remember xXx? I'm not sure we'd enjoy it as much if we watched it today. Remember how the James Bond character was easily killed at the start because the (anarchist) baddies could 'smell the training'? As a result, they don't train xXx. And remember how the evil plot was for an unmanned submarine to travel the Earth (sometimes underwater) on autopilot infecting major cities with disease? And how it wouldn't need fuel because it'd use 'hydro power'? I remember wondering: is it OK to equate anarchists with murderers? Is it? Really? Reeeally?

Yeah, I'm confused with this ordering.

Have you changed your settings to GMT + 10 hours, or whatever Sydney is?

Time travelling, Googs?

Oi,

How come your post comes in before mine? You posted first (duh). So...

That seems pretty Alligator Fuck House to me.

Hey man,

what's up?

Darkwing Duck

Yeah I'm cool. Pretty psyched to be blogging.

Remember how Darkwing Duck always said, "let's get dangerous!"?

Here are some translations:

Cantonese - Wait til I do some destruction!
Czech - Darkwing Duck!
Danish - Now, let's risk our feathers!
Dutch - Let's get really risky!
Finnish - Let's be dangerous!
French - It's gonna get scary, big time!
German - Two, one, danger!
Greek - Let's get dangerous!
Hindi - Let's tackle danger!
Indonesian - Charge the danger!
Italian - Duck! Go for it, Duck!
Japanese - Danger is calling me!
Korean - Go ahead and attack me!
Mandarin - Let me do some destruction!
Norwegian - Let's become dangerous!
Polish - Oh, it's gonna dangerous!
Portuguese - Let's face danger!
Russian - Clear the propeller!
Spanish - Let's get into the action!
Swedish - Now we're getting dangerous!
Turkish - Let's get dangerous!

For mine, Russian get's the biggest lol because: i) ducks don't have propellers; and ii) not being a nautical man (or duck), I presume that the area around propellers is generally fairly clear anyway (does water count?). But if the propeller was turning, messing around with it (while wearing a cape, no less) would be pretty dangerous. This would mean that clearing the propeller would be fairly dangerous. So...

To clear a propeller - 'get dangerous' - is to fight (animated, duck-themed) crime? Hmmm...

Discuss

P.S. French and Polish are fairly lol too.
