Elvira Mistress of the Dark

It's Cassandra Peterson's birthday today (she's 57) and I still desperately want to fornicate with her.

Van Wastell RIP

ponder this

Do you ever wonder if Aerosmith made their early 90s video trilogy (Cryin', Amazing, Crazy) in response to Guns 'n' Roses early 90s video trilogy (November Rain, Don't Cry, and Estranged?) Without money being an issue, Axl made sure his bizarro fantasy world was finally unleashed to an unsuspecting, innocent world. Many of the same themes carry from one video to the next, titillating and confusing the viewer. I think this totally bummed out Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and those other dudes in the worst way ever. Reacting to this, they decided to do their own trilogy. Their only common thread? A totally hot & young Alicia Silverstone. She collectively gave our fine nation a boner. Everyone was into it. Here's the wikipedia description of the video for Cryin':



The music video for the song features the first appearance of Alicia Silverstone in the band's videos, as well as the band performing in a church in Fall River, Massachusetts.[1] The song flashes back and forth between the band and Alicia Silverstone, who plays a teen who has a falling out with her boyfriend (played by Stephen Dorff) after catching him cheating. She tries to kiss him but he pushes her away, she shoves him out of the car leaving him in the dust. She begins a phase of rebellion and individuality and gets a navel piercing, which has largely been credited as introducing navel piercing to mainstream culture.[2] After having her purse stolen by another young man (played by Josh Holloway of Lost), she chases him down and knocks him to the ground. The video then cuts to her standing on the edge of an overpass bridge, contemplating jumping. Her ex-boyfriend arrives on the scene, along with numerous police officers, encouraging her to come down from the overpass. She jumps, but is then revealed to be attached to a bungee-style harness, which arrests her fall and leaves her dangling over the freeway, laughing at Dorff's character. The video ends with the dangling Silverstone looking up at Dorff and giving him the finger.

That's easily the funniest thing I've read in a while. Youtube all the videos, watch them in order, and try to tell me you weren't into the Aerosmith ones. Nostalgic blogs are for wieners, but they truly embody the spirit on suburban, middle class, white kids of the era.

I went to a pizzeria, I ordered a slice of pizza, the fucker gave me the smallest slice possible. If the pizza was a pie chart for what people would do if they found a million dollars, the fucker gave me the "donate it to charity" slice. I would like to exchange this for the "keep it!"

For the best answer to the best question ever, wait till the 6:30 mark and let the hard-ons commence.

According to my roommate Pat, you're "a little bitch" if you enjoy watching the summer games. So knock it off out there.

Jay's Journal

Basically the boy version of Go Ask Alice. I read this book in jr. high and was warned by a teacher that it was a serious book not to be taken lightly. It was meant to scare kids straight, but reading about some dude that at 16 is getting laid, getting fucked up (homeslice totally slaughters an animal and drinks its fucking blood!) and dealing with the occult totally got me stoked. Why didn't they just hand out KISS records and get it over with already?
