Hurts my head-lines
Good news! I have just received my long anticipated copies of Blockhead’s War #2! These will be dropped in the mail next week, and into your recycle bins the week after! Always recycle my hard work, people.
In other news, here’s something i grabbed off of CNN just a moment ago:
The confluence of the two highlighted stories is what caught my eye. First, I’m glad to learn that Weird Al is still “weird”. I’ve never before spared a thought that Al’s weirdness might be a temporary condition. But the fact that CNN thought an update was required has shaken my faith a bit. Is Plain Vanilla Al Yankovich even possible?
IÂ realized why CNN felt the need to reaffrim Al’s cred when I read the headline above his. In what universe does a guy whose claim to fame is inventing parodies that juxtapose pop songs with foodstuffs actually qualify as weirder than a 40 year old chick with an imaginary Y chromosome for a best friend?

Speaking of Y chromosomes, anybody with a real one will almost certainly enjoy this YouTube clip by Deep Fried customer Peter Podgursky, and starring the Weapon Brown T-shirt!

I’m just, well its kinda hard to describe the emotion, sort of a ennui flavored frustration coupled with a deep sense of cultural shame, that these things are even considered news by anybody, much less by one of our cultures biggest news agencies. I mean, aren’t there crimes being committed, aren’t there mysteriously missing people to search for, aren’t there bible-toting fanatic politicians being caught in lovenests with underage children? And this is what makes the news? Or maybe the editors of the National Enquirer and The Sun have even more professional ethics than these guys? No wonder I only get the newspaper for the comics and coupons.
I demand a steady stream of vague, ominous and/or contextless facts so that i can feel as if i’m being informed, but never so informed that i dont feel vaguely scared. i think the weird al and chaz updates were like psy- ops meant to confuse even more. and since there’s no details on where that haunted pool room is, i’ll be on edge about all pool rooms everywhere forever now
