Then My Work Here Is Done.

Alright! Even better than bringing mankind the gift of electricity: it's funny-picture time again!

I feel rather conflicted.

And this is even MORE confusing!


Um...sure! Whatever you say!



OH NO! The tortoises are coming!

How I Named This Blog, or, PREPARE TO BE DAZZLED

Today I had a discussion with a certain person whose name begins with K and ends with E about the name of this blog. I mentioned that I'd considered just naming it Associate World or ASSOCIATEd World to highlight the ASSOCIATE reference, but had decided on Associated World because it was a relatively normal title.

But there's also a little wordplay involved that I didn't quite realize until now. A lot of our inside jokes are really based on, well, ASSOCIATIONS. For example, Crusteh Bob alone wouldn't give much material for jokes. But when you incorporate 88 Minutes, you get "Tick Tock Doc" and Al Pacino, and then you get a photo of Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro together and suddenly Phillip Glass is mixed up in it all and you get this:

So much joy! And all because of ASSOCIATIONS. So there. My blog name is justified!

And now, enjoy this cute song and music video from Fountains of Wayne:



Yes, that IS the band we randomly saw playing in the middle of Evanston in October. Yes, this song DOES grow on you eventually.

Never Tear Us Apart

You remember that amazing Telethon performance, where Michael sang 'Never Tear Us Apart' by INXS and everyone went to ventricular fibrillation and stuff? Well, he sang it again at a UNIFEM Benefit on Tuesday, and, dare I say it, it was even better. Unfortunately, he chose to repeat the stupid hat, too. WHY?! Also: he sang another song, called "Into Temptation", by a band called Crowded House. Yeah. Crowded. HOUSE. Beeboll. I think he's just messing with our minds now.

Yes, It Certainly Is.

I love the Internet. No, seriously. Also, I love Jon Stewart, and I love French Stewart (which is actually his name, even though I thought it was a joke at first). Also, this is practically ancient- it's from 1999. Pre-historic stuff. And without further ado, I present to you: THE TWO STEWARTS.

Super-Spy Challenge Answer!

Exciting, I know. This was a very "AAAH!" "Just Baldrick, spring cleaning..." moment for me. And I have the screencaps to prove it!

First, we had this priceless shot:


Inspired, no? Then this popped out of the box, so to speak:

And then there was Harry. Mainly I'm very proud of myself for catching this by going very sloooooowly with the stop/start button and freezing every 1/5 of a second, because if it had been an obvious part of the trailer it just wouldn't have been as thrilling.

Super-Spy Challenge

Well, golly. I was just readin' some stuff on good ole IMDB, and I clicked on a trailer for a movie, fully knowing that somebody whose name seemed, uh, familiar would be in the trailer. And I found them, gosh darn it...or so I thought. Then I watched the thing frame-by-frame (it's very jumpy), and I realized that I hadn't actually found them the first time around. So no more clues, and let's play SPOT THE RANDOM PERSON! Warning: this is pretty bloody and salacious and disturbing, so I'm not too sure about the movie itself...



If you're completely stumped, some clues:

1) Yep, the studio is called Hannibal. Nope, that's not the point.
2) Look around 0:37
3) Yep, I thought that was the person you probably thought it was too. It's not. Now go back to 0:35 and literally go frame-by-frame (by double-clicking the play/pause button). See it yet?
4) It's not one of the people listed in the credits. That would be kind of, you know, easy.

I'll post the answer + a screencap tomorrow, maybe, if anyone bothers to care, myself included. It's pretty exciting, though.

Best of Best of Harry

Now that I've finished the arduous search for the best 'Best of Harry' video on Youtube, ENJOY!
