Randomnessocitiation: Pursuit Of The Obnoxious Mind

While watching some Tivo’ed [adult swim] the other night, I caught a commercial for the new film version of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Cartoon Network was claiming they were going to show the entire movie this Sunday night at 10. At first I thought, “Why?” and they answered me, “Because we’re ****ing crazy!” I mean, why not? Steven Soderbergh did it with Bubble by releasing it on DVD and in theaters at the same time. Then I realized what Sunday is…
You know how in Trivial Pursuit if the card asks for a number of things, you can generally say “three” and it will be correct? If there were a Beck Lyrical Pursuit game, you could guess “garbageman trees” and you’d probably be right.
Yesterday, Edurado (my iPod for you newbies) played “Suspicious Minds” by Elvis Presley when I realized that the song is not about the type of love one would think — it’s about fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Take a gander at the lyrics with the real meaning in parentheses.
We’re caught in a trap
(You’re making me fat)
I can’t walk out
(Can’t see my feet)
Because I love you too much, baby
(Because I eat you too much, baby)
Imagine Stephen King’s Carrie being recast as an Orthodox Jewish Princess. Cut to prom night.
CARRIE: Oy! The schlemazel! You guys are such nudnicks and I’m such a schlemele! Look! You’ve got pig’s blood all over me. I’m treyf now. All you schmucks stay right here and I’ll be back to kill you later. I’ve got to go bury myself for three days.
Oh my gawd! There is, like, a tropical storm off that Crocodile Hunter’s country that is totally named, like, Becky!
The other night at the video store, we had the three most obnoxious regular customers come in — at the same time. All three think they are hiLARious. You know — THOSE kind. Somehow they all get into a conversation with each other right in front of the counter. All three of them have their volume set to 11. All three are trying to out-funny each other. I have a new weapon on terror. Send those three to different cells and let loose the hounds of annoy!
I’m ready to predict who is going to win the Democratic and Republican nomination for President of the United States of America. The candidate who digs themselves into the shallowest hole.
I’ve been seeing this everywhere so I thought I’d share mine. Here is my VisualDNA.
Listening to: Leezie Lindsay – Eddi Reader
UPDATE: Cartoon Network really is showing the Aqua Teen movie, but in a tiny, tiny screen in the lower left-hand corner of the screen while Futurama plays. That’s a good April Fool’s. You actually do it, but not in a way expected. Fun!

In the Star Wars Trivial Pursuit game (released just prior to Episode 1), if you don’t know the answer, guess “Lando Calrissian.” You will ALWAYS be right.

Duck:
I just spell it Oy. No matter what, you get your point across.
Kevin:

Khlari:
Giving the love…

The Jewish Carrie is fucking brilliant, Howard. Kind of sketch-worthy, dontcha think?

But what percentage of people would get it? And then there’s the writing and the memorizing and the practicing and the blocking and the scoring and the selling of the movie rights. OY!

Unless its a sports question. The answer will almost always be Martina Navartalova. Oh and this is Dan. I was just too lazy to and turn on my computer so I’m using Hayes’.

Unless you’re playing Apples to apples, in which case “Hiroshima” will always win. Remember Hiroshima…it’s MAGIC!

Hayes:
I remember that now.
Leslie:
That was the hardest I think I laughed at game night.
