Tukes and the E-dubbetes

So I've been debating on buying a bass guitar to try and relearn my music skills. Instead I ended up buying this.



That's right - I ended up buying Guitar Hero: World Tour with the complete instrument set. Which brings up the debate of kids playing this instead of learning actual instruments. Coming from my POV, I did learn bass before this ever came out and I gotta say that this is still *%^@-ing awesome. I mean, this is still cheaper than buying a damn Gibson Les Paul with lessons (but who would actually buy a Gibson and then have to take lessons?) Plus, South Park heavily influenced my decision.

The Tonight Show with Manny Pacquiao?

Well by now you know that Jay Leno is staying with NBC and moved to an earlier timeslot with Conan taking over the Tonight Show. We also know that Manny Pacquiao is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Now what would happen if the two collided? Well in this article I read in examiner.com what would happened if Late Night and Pac-man joined forces.

Here's and insert of the week's lineup if Manny hosted the show
just imagine, each weeknight could feature Pacquiao in a different format.

On Mondays, Pacquiao could host "Boxing with the Stars," in which each week a Hollywood celebrity gets the tar beat out of him or her by an emerging male or female pugilist who wants national attention.

On Tuesdays, Pacquiao could host "Who Wants to be a Sports Millionaire," in which each week he asks sports trivia questions of eager fans who think they know everything there is to know about winning athletes, ranging from Max Baer to Jackie Robinson, from Olga Korbut to Jackie Joyner-Kersee.

On Wednesdays, Pacquiao could host "Whose Punchline is It, Anyway," in which each week rising young comics join old comedy pros live on stage to trade unrehearsed verbal jabs.

On Thursdays, Pacquiao could host "Olympic Sports Idol," in which aspiring athletes in every field of Olympic sports compete each week for audience votes with the winner joining the next Olympics team.

On Fridays, he could host "The Manny Pacquiao Show," a high-quality variety show, you know, the live show that NBC should have produced last week instead of the bomb it dropped with Rosie O'Donnell.

Why not? American television is ready for Manny Pacquiao... but this is a good article to generate ideas off of. It a good source of inspiration.

Bugs Bunny as Queer as a Three Dollar Bill?

It's been a pretty damn long time since I posted, with the semester ending and turning papers in and taking test, I've finally had time to express myself about something I read about awhile back.

Looney Tunes cartoons, we've all grown up on them, with Bugs Bunny being our primary protagonist. But did you ever consider Bugs being the symbol in the 1950s and 60s are a queer icon? Well in a essay I read entitled "Bugs Bunny as Queer as a Three Dollar Bill" by Sartin, it explains how Bugs Bunny is an avid crossdresser. And after viewing a few Bugs Bunny cartoons on youtube, I would have to agree that Bugs likes to dress in drag. The funny thing is when Elmer Fudd or whoever is after Bugs they always falls for Bugs dressed as a woman, then something happens that compromises Bugs costume and Elmer Fudd or whoever is super pissed that he isn't a woman. I decided to post one of the more famous Looney Tunes cartoons entitled What's Opera, Doc?


Now the essay goes on, that the Production Code, which was like the MPAA of the 1940s didn't allow any sexual suggestive material in any films, but cartoons were left alone and the code was rarely enforced for cartoons, letting animators do anything they want. So they could get away with such suggestive material. Nowadays these cartoons seem more or less harmless and still funny as they were 50 years ago. But now I can't help but have my image of Bugs Bunny tarnished after reading this essay.

Fly me to the moon.

How the hell did I miss this? I need to start stargazing more.

...and the Procrastinating Student.

I dislike turning this blog into a forum of how I frequently go on youtube, but this did catch my eye (and ear). Also, I promised a comic strip with two characters soon - might not happen until this hell week of exams is over. But stay tuned and you might see something funny!
