Open Letter to the Toronto Star

Dear “Toronto Star“,

Stop calling my fucking cell phone and offering me a subscription to your newspaper. I don’t know how you got the number, but I get at least one phone call a week from some shlub in your subscription office.

I do not read your newspaper.
I do not want a subscription to your newspaper.

Get me off your phone list or I shall mount a retaliation campaign to call your newspaper every day and harrass you with my web services until you do.

Sincerely,

Joe Deagnon

My Breakfast With Gjuddy : Money, Money Money

BuCkSaTaN™ [5:30 PM]:
My Mail is acting fucking bizarre.

Billy Van

Well, here’s an article in a local free paper that looks like the weekly world news and yet, has content in it that smacks of truth. This concerns past blog entries regarding “Billy Van and the Hilarious House of Frightenstein”:http://www.paranoidcomix.com/joeblog/index.php?s=frightenstein&submit=GO …

• “article link”:http://www.freewriters.ca/thespecial/special_billy_van.htm

Ok, apparently these boneheads don’t archive anything properly.
The import of the article concerned the outrage that Billy Van still hasn’t got a star on the Canadian Walk of Fame.

Well, he finally “did”:http://www.cbc.ca/arts/walkoffame/billyvan.html. (Although the Canadian Walk of Fame website has refused to update to reflect this…)

Jul 27, 2005 - film    No Comments

Let us pause for a complete Geek-Out.

Well, I just saw the theatre trailer for “Serenity”:http://www.serenitymovie.com/ – the film based on the “cult” television series by Joss “Everytime I make something cool, tee vee executives stomp all over it” Whedon. It played before “Batman Begins” (which, considering I thought it would be a complete piece of shit, was really quite exciting.) The Serenity trailer, here in Toronto, is exactly the same as the online version, although seeing it on the big screen was nice. The only complaint I had is that the boobs at the theatre had the volume hella-low. Oh well.

Serenity is coming out in September. I won’t be standing in line like some Star Wars geek, but you can bet I am not missing a flick I feel will be better than any of the other science-fiction offerings over the last decade.

This movie. Will. Kick. Ass.

Hound of the Baskervilles

Good Christ. I think the image says it all. This poor beast resembles some kind of special effects nightmare out of an early Peter Jackson zombie film. If it bit you, they’d have to hack your head off with a chainsaw.

See the rest of this hideous mutt “here”:http://samugliestdog.com/index.html.

My head is pounding already…

One of my nutty friends has decided to make his own “brew” at home. As you can see from the image, I don’t know if it’s ready just yet, although he seems to think that, at 20% alcohol content, it’ll make a fine, heady, man’s drink. I’m a little skeptical.

My Breakfast With Gjuddy : Mr.Myxlplyx

Other than editorial comments, this episode of MBWG is verbatim. See if you can figure out what Gjuddy is trying to tell me after I merely sent him a link to this blog asking him to check out the posting on “Shitty Album Covers” …

“link gjuddy sent”:http://www.cenedella.com/stone/archives/2005/07/worstest_album_3.html

[I finally realize that he's talking about the comments on the article linked from my blog.]

BuCkSaTaN™ >:)
11:16:00AM
Ah…. jesus christ. you could have made that a tad clearer.

gjuddy mcmudd:
11:16:21 AM
seemed pretty clear to me

[I'm still trying to figure out why Gjuddy sent me the Century of Country website...]

POSTSCRIPT

After I got on the phone with Gjuddy, he calmly (although I could sense the anger seething below the surface) explained to me that the country link was for one of the album covers. “Orion”:http://www.countryworks.com/artist_full.asp?KEY=ORION to be exact. And what a bizarre story it is.

Gjuddy was kind of incensed that I even posted this episode of “My Breakfast With Gjuddy”. Now, my good friend Gjuddy isn’t a fan of this segment of my blog, to be sure, although he is a good pal for putting up with it. He could, in retaliation, start his own blog, with a segment called “My Breakfast With Joe”, I suppose.

Shitty Album Covers

Thanks to “Cruel Site of the Day”:http://www.cruel.com/, I get a nice steady stream of goofiness and ephemera from around the globe.
I do so enjoy looking at “crap found in people’s basements”:http://www.cenedella.com/stone/archives/2005/07/worstest_album_3.html that would otherwise not see the light of day, were it not for this glorious invention.

This one’s for you Gjuddy!

Shirley and Spinoza

All I gotta say is, wow!
An amazing online radio station of bizarre music, sound effects and snippets from musty college basements.
Nothing short of _inspirational_.

Boy, they sure love the *Residents*!
