kickin’ it!

Right in the head.

This is terrible, horrible, awful, wrenching, and really, really funny. It’s like a snuff video featuring kittens. You’ve been warned.

Indeed, the person who deserves a kick in the head, ie the parent, seems to have gotten off scott-free, which is by no means fair. (by the way, the papers report that no serious damage was done; kids are in fact indestructible). 114,000 views in one day: wow, there are a lot of people out there just as sick as I am!

Stolen from Gawker. Sequel here.

contest: name that fad!

Bling Bling Ouch!

How to intro this…well, first of all you should know that the prize here is nothing less than immortal glory and the adoring praise of millions. There shall be none other like you on Earth; you will be unique among all peoples:

the one, the only, winner of the FADenclature contest on the ol’ raincoaster blog!

Seriously, how cool is that?

Which is all just a fancy way of saying No, there’s no money in it.

Something along the lines of the Tentacle Pornstar Name Challenge, this is a contest to develop the most amusing name for the soon-to-leave-the-pages-of-Snopes-forever (as soon as Lohan gets ahold of the idea anyway) concept of adorning one’s nether regions with what is known in the yoof community as “bling” and flashing said bling in the presence of witnesses if not actually paparazzi. Where can Paris, Lindsay et al go from here anyway? They’ve got to ramp it up somehow!

See here for background. Suggestions in the comments section. You’re up against some tough competition here; those Gawkerites can be lightning fast with the wisecracks, so bring your best game.

Atene speaks! to raincoaster!

One again, we step through the looking glass, fall down the rabbit hole, cross the doorway to forever, tune in, turn on, and drop out and end up, somehow, in the crazy, mixed-up world of Brian Atene. In this episode…our hero underplays old skool it in a true tour de force of subtlety. Is it just me, or does Pacino crib off this guy?

and from the YouTube comments:

I’ve got five bucks that says the head is severed and mounted on some kind of complicated crane OR free-floating on a levitating disk.

Raincoaster,
You’re out five bucks. Its simple puppetry. The head is a disgarded Bill Baird marionette from the ill fated Broadway run of “Baker Street”. You can see the strings clearly on the fade-in of the Kubrick video. I purchased the head in 1980. It’s modeled after actor Martin Gabel. – Atene

blogger portraits: Metro!

Since it seems we’re posting one another’s portraits, I thought I’d pitch in with an offering of my own.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present: Metro.

Metro, in his natural environment
