TWO NEW STAR WARS: REBELS CLIPS FROM UPCOMING EPISODE "PATH OF THE JEDI"

This winter break needs to hurry the hell up - I'm starting to have withdrawals like when The Clone Wars would go on mid-season and season transitional breaks! LOL  Damn you, Inquisitor!

LOOK AT HER GO!!

Recent "You are NOT the father!!"


They should have somebody with a chainsaw waiting backstage for when they take off marathon running when the guy's 9 times outta 10 not the father, and chase her BACK onstage to continue looking stupid instead of the mother's usual dive-bombing the sofa in the back.  

Who cares, the hoe spent the past few months/years harassing the guy and his family when she should have been stalking somebody else.  Starting with the men in her family.  This IS America, after all - and the babies are getting uglier.  And I don't put anything past these bitches and ya'll making me sick LOL!!

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS: "BOSSY BOOTS" EPISODE

Gotta love Sponge Bob - you can dress him up in a ridiculous costume as his work uniform and he's THRILLED over it!  

Over the years, I've accumulated all kinds of SBSP stuff for my B-Day, Xmas, etc and have all that in a kitchen corner.  Thankfully people have stopped doing that because I'm really not a fan of any of recent stuff.  The original 12 minute episodes from the first 3 or 4 seasons were great and adults could enjoy them too.  But the newer stuff, the characters have became exaggerated and annoying - couldn't even enjoy that shit wasted.

"YOU'RE THE TREASURE OF ECSTASY - GIRL TAKE IT FROM ME - THAT MOST MEN HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR"

Best.  Movie.  EVAH

(next to John Carpenter's Halloween!)


"WOO LORD, HOW HIGH AM I?!?"

XMAS STAR WARS GIFTS/THANKS

Thanks to local friends Bob and Terri for 3 Star Wars Xmas gifts and I hope ya'll liked your stuff.  Too bad I didn't participate today - if it's any consolation, I didn't really do ANY holidays this year, including Halloween.  And WON'T until I'm outta DFW, fuck THIS place.

And just yesterday considered looking at what's current in Lego sets but decided against it, being Xmas Eve and every place likely packed.




********************************

As far as I'm concerned, 12/31........

"YOU WERE NEVER NO GOOD"



Can't wait for Culture Club's first new album since 1999's Don't Mind If I Do.

BEAVIS & BUTT-HEAD 90's CHRISTMAS


THE SUPREMES FEATURING FLORENCE BALLARD: "SILENT NIGHT" [1965]


THE KITTIES: OLDER XMAS PICS

Isis just had to explore the prelit tree last year!



Minnie Reindeer

"IF YOU GOT A HEAD, I CAN F*CK IT UP"

IS THIS "ANIMATED" DEPA BILLABA BY LUCASFILM/THE CLONE WARS/STAR WARS: REBELS?

Because her arms are out to the side and looks almost identical to several of The Clone Wars characters CGI profiles I've seen posted on the TCW Facebook page in the past, this Depa Billaba looks convincing.  If it's the real deal, I wonder if Depa was created and just unused from The Clone Wars or is she going to be maybe in a Kanan flashback in Rebels?  



I'm STILL disappointed the Depa/Mace Windu book Shatterpoint was never made into a Clone Wars arc.  Even more disappointed that at least for the next few years, the focus of Lucasfilm/Disney won't be anywhere near the prequel era even though IMO that's the most interesting era you could get the most adventures and story arcs from.  I'm not an O.G. Star Wars fan (was between the ages of 1-3 when the first two movies came out), so I'm not as excited over the cast reunion in The Force Awakens as the original 1977 fans are.  I'm happy for them, it's just I'm more into an army of Jedi ambushing the Separatist droid army and all that fun stuff.

MR. PLINKETT REACTS TO THE "STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS" TRAILER


In case you missed his hysterical Episode III review:

CAVEMAN NINJA AKA JOE & MAC [DATA EAST ARCADE GAME]/BOSS BATTLE THEME

Thankfully most of my arcade and retro video game emulator library has been recovered, moving stuff over from my old PC to the new one.  The missing roms, I'm having to re-collect - like Caveman Ninja/Joe & Mac, a Data East arcade game that was more popular on the Super Nintendo.  The boss battle themes are totally different in the original arcade VS Super Nintendo versions.  

Either way, going upside a T-Rex's head with a big dinosaur bone has never been more fun!

ANOTHER REASON WHY I'D NEVER WAIT TABLES AGAIN

My very first job was waiter/server at a small town Pizza Hut and for that location, I could handle it.  I knew at least half of the customers and vice versa and could cut up with everyone, including out-of-towners.  I can be a people person when I WANT to DAMMIT!!  But my last little gig didn't last long - a 3rd shift/nights at a Denny's in Grand Prairie (outside of Arlington).  We'd always get 90% drunks, including weekdays - belligerent as  hell.  Acting a loose cannon when there's only ONE loose cannon in the room and you're looking right at him.  

When one of the (usually a guy) "guests" would call me something, directly, or under their breath, I let them know I can hear them, which then turns into an all-out cussing match until they stormed outta the place.  Bitch, I ain't nobody's punching bag.  Nor am I anyone's bitch.  If I'm nice and polite to you and you return it with being an asshole, I can be 10X just that and will fire right back.  To be honest, the only good customers I ever waited on at that Denny's were the black female strippers (or "skrippers", if you're ghetto) - they were fun with me and vice versa and they tipped well.  A lot of people can't deal with waiting on sistas, I was always thrilled to because we have so much in common - like going from all cute to bulldog within a matter of seconds! LOL  I watched and learned from Shirley Hemphill in What's Happening!!!   TURKEY!!

#ICANTBREATHE

Every time I hear this "I can't breathe!" line going around in the news, the very first thing that comes to mind is that Grape Lady!

An unscrupulous woman trying to trademark "#ICantBreathe".  Give me a buhreak.

PS2 GAME: SBSB - LIGHTS, CAMERA, PANTS!

I've played Lights, Camera, Pants! for PS2 long enough to form an opinion on it.  As I predicted, it's a "party game" like Muppet Party Cruise for PS2.

First you choose a playable SBSP character: Sponge Bob, Patrick Star, Sandy Cheeks, Squidward Tentacles, Eugene Krabs and Plankton.  You compete with three other characters at a time (4-way split screen) to win various acting roles and ultimately scoring the Supervillain role in a Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy film.  

Each mission is hosted by characters like Mrs. Puff and Larry Lobster (all original voice actors from the show included), with three mini-games in which you must place first in all three in order to advance to the next acting role audition.  If there's approx 30 mini-games, I'm about halfway finished.

I didn't know Patrick was voiced by that tall, blonde, airhead guy from the show Coach! LOL


"I DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT NO MONSTERS, NO FACTS - DON'T EVEN CALL ME WITH THIS BULLSHIT NO MO!!"

From my favorite Millie Jackson LP Feelin' Bitchy [1977].  About five years ago, Spring Records reissued the album on CD with a few unreleased bonus tracks and alternate takes (along with her debut album).


MARGOT KIDDER WASTED IN BLACK CHRISTMAS [1974]

Another hysterical Margo Kidder scene from Black Christmas - forget National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - THIS is the holiday movie to see every year! ;) And ANY film is better than that whiney Prancer shit-movie.  Even KIDS hated it because that little girl was so fucking annoying!

I've made a video compilation of all Margo's best scenes from BC and will soon post it on YouTube (the file is too big to upload here).


MARGOT KIDDER CLOWNING THE 5-0 IN BLACK CHRISTMAS [1974]

Olivia Hussey may have been the lead role but Margot Kidder stole the show.

MINNIE = MY WINTER TEDDY BEAR

Year round too, but especially comes in handy during the Winter for a bedwarmer.  A multi-purpose kitty!!


***************************

1985 POTF AMANAMAN!!


Obviously my favorite vintage Kenner SW figure, from their final Power Of The Force line in 1985.  I've never gotten one of the super-sized jumbo Kenner figures by Gentle Giant because they haven't gotten around to him just yet - Amanaman would be one of their more complex projects of the original SW vintage line, including the trophy staff.  And they better not skimp on the staff, because all other Gentle Giant figure came with their super-sized accessory, too.

IS YOU HEARING ME, GENTLE GIANT?!?  A-MA-NA-MAN!!!  PLZ.

I've always called Amanaman the "Jeffrey Dahmer of the Star Wars galaxy" because Dahmer saved a majority of his male victims' skulls and was planning on building a meditation shrine with them - his drunk careless ass got himself arrested and ended all those plans LOL

Plus a Gentle Giant super-size EV-9D9 and 8D8 Kenner torture droids would be nice, too!

Both me AND Matt from X-Entertainment AKA Dinosaur Dracula are more attached to Return Of The Jedi because that's the SW film WE remember being marketed heavily to us kids in 1983.  I have no childhood memories of Empire Strikes Back or the original SW, pretty much before my time.

"IF YOU REALLY WANT ME HONEY GET SOME PATIENCE"

I remember when Fergie was a member of Wild Orchid and had club and radio-friendly dance pop hits like "Talk To Me" and the group looked like a hipper late 90's Wilson-Phillips or something.  Wild Orchid and Fergie as a solo artist are apples and oranges.

"Fergalicious" reminds me of the Willy Wonka parody from Epic Movie, with Krispen Glover's impersonation of Johnny Depp's Wonka - busting a move to this single while abusing the gold ticket finders.


NEW EMPLOYEE EVALUATION @ NATEFLICKS: WOMAN'S CAR BEING REPO'ED WHILE SHE'S AUDITIONING FOR A GAME SHOW

Tenacious Nick, whose NatesVlogs channel was deleted by YouTube and immediately returned with tons of support from fans is back for another new Employee Evaluation.

I'm USED to that treatment from YouTube - I think I'm on like my SEVENTH channel in about a decade! LOL

More NateFlicks videos @ his channel

MINNIE TOO LAZY TO GET UP AND HAVE DINNER


It's been a mostly-dark day and Minnie's slept about 95% of it, compared to her usual 90% - which is why she's so chubby.  She doesn't overeat.  When I first picked her out from her litter, sleeping while her siblings were playing was exactly what she was doing, so I could have seen that coming on day 1.  And I've never slept alone since I adopted her, short power naps included.

Chloe and Isis were hanging outside of the kitchen and Minnie wouldn't get up - however she DID after I brought her a plate with her portion of the canned food.  This servitude!  Ain't nobody can say Athena didn't live a good, spoiled rotten 15 years! LOL

************************

"YOU RUINED MY CHRISTMAS!! GET OFF ME, YOU UGLY WITCH!!"

Dawn Davenport (Divine) REALLY wanted those cha-cha heels for Xmas!

I have no earthly idea what cha-cha heels are.  I know what boots are and that's as far as my expertise in footwear goes.  And the only time I ever done drag was for a joke or to get a rise out of somebody (or whenever I go as an undercover proskitkute), and even then, didn't wear any special kind of shoes at the time, much less ones I'd have to practice walking in.  The types and styles of female shoes are Greek to me.

John Waters' Female Trouble is no holiday movie, it's just this particular scene in which Divine is beyond disappointed that he didn't get the shoes he asked for on Xmas.  I could see myself behaving like that!

"THIS ain't the taser I wanted - it's YELLOW!!  I said I wanted the PINK one because what's more shocking than getting zapped is seeing a 6ft MFer like me pulling out a pink taser before firing.  So it's TWICE the shock!!  It'll give the punk something to talk about with the other thugs while he's getting booked!"

MY EXCUSE FOR "HOTH SNOW" LOOKS MORE LIKE FOG FROM IN A HORROR MOVIE!

I think I made the Hoth terrain look more brutal than it really was in Empire Strikes Back, itself!!

Better luck next time!





THERAPY AND OSTRICH RACING DISCUSSION

Remind me to never go to a therapy session high as fuck ever again!  I'll be damned we at some point got on the subject of Australian ostrich racing!!  And she was totally sober!


It was my session closest to Xmas so I get a "holiday cheer" free pass on that one!  Plus I did it on purpose, anyway.

THE SUPREMES PRODUCED BY STEVIE WONDER: "SOFT DAYS" [UNRELEASED, 1973]

*****"BEST OF" REPOST [ORIGINALLY POSTED ON JULY 15, 2013]*****

******************************

Before Jean Terrell and Lynda Laurence left The Supremes in 1973, they began working on a new album with Stevie Wonder, like they had done with Smokey Robinson in 1972 on their Floy Joy LP, earning three hit singles with him.  The girls began recording with Stevie and produced their first single from their efforts: "Bad Weather".  Jean and Stevie were disappointed it failed to chart because they thought it was such a decent (and overlooked) single.  

Jean and Lynda left The Supremes and I assume the project was abandoned.  Whatever else aside from "Bad Weather" has never been released.  However, a few unreleased cuts from the 70's is in circulation amongst the hardcore fans and have been doing so for generations of fans.  Thanks to my friend Joe from Jersey for sending me a CDR with this unreleased cut from those Stevie Wonder sessions, and it's a decent cut and as good as "Bad Weather":  

"Soft Days" (recording - 1973: Jean Terrell, Mary Wilson, Lynda Laurence.  Produced by Stevie Wonder - unreleased)


APPARENTLY SENATOR-IN-EXILE GALL TRAYVIS **ISN'T** SHADY.

According to the end of the short book The Inquisitor's Trap.



NEW SSMYOB 2014 7" MIX: MENUDO - "GIMME ROCK" VS. "QUIERO ROCK" + BAKING WHILE BAKED + TCW LOST MISSIONS DVD

NEW SSMYOB 2014 7" MIX: 

MENUDO - "GIMME ROCK" (featuring Robi Rosa) 
VS. "QUIERO ROCK" (featuring Miguel Cancel) [1984/82] 


I'd say Robi Rosa is the 2nd most famous former Menudo member, after Ricky Martin (obviously).  Miguel Cancel decided to leave before management had to replace him (when a member started growing facial hair, a tall growth spurt or voice began changing with age) and was the only member ever given a "farewell album" called "Menudo - Adios Miguel".  To my knowledge, the group was scandal free until a couple members from a late 80's lineup was busted for weed possession LOL Ricky Martin was not involved - he comes across as a square to me, anyway.  Now watch his ass find my comment on the internet!

I have a friend who transcribes music and want him to write out the bassline to "Quiero Rock" so I can eventually learn it on my bass guitar.  Probably my favorite next to "War Machine" by Andrea True's 1980 band.

*****************************
*****************************
*****************************

Because the staff at the vet office were so great with Athena a couple weeks ago, thought I'd tonight bake for them some of my infamous wild huckleberry sweet cornbread - and will deliver that along with a Xmas card tomorrow.  I've hooked them up with baked goods and bruschetta in the past LOL





*****************************

Something fun to watch (again, outside of Netflix):



**********************************

As if the Episode I figure setup feline ambush wasn't enough, Isis has now "discovered" Jabba's Palace DAMMIT!!! 

*Marge Simpson voice* BAD CAT!!!

UNSURPRISING FORTUNE STATES THE OBVIOUS


It's a week away from Xmas and something fucked-up ALWAYS happens every year, so I'm sure this year will meet somebody interesting in the chain of events of whatever's in store for me this year.  Last year, as it was snowing on Xmas Eve, a back tire not only went flat but apparently had ran over something sharp before pulling into the Tom Thumb parking lot for some groceries.  Had to leave it there overnight until a tow truck could pick it up and bring it to Firestone the day after Xmas.  

The Xmas the year before, water pipes in the house burst and the carpet in the living room and one bedroom were drenched.  A jackhammer had to be brought in, the entire living room floor torn up to fix the water pipes below, and the carpet was ruined more than the original owner's had left it.  The floor was re-cemented over and the following Spring, got new carpet in those damaged rooms. 

I'm actually kinda hoping for a Black Christmas situation this year, something exciting like that.

31" INQUISITOR FIGURE: PIX + VIDEO [12/17/2014]

And Tion Medon had me thinking Utapau'an's had no backbone after their short Episode III appearance.










"I HEAR YOU JUST THE SAME AS IF YOU SHOUTED OUT MY NAME"


"YOUR MASTER WILL DIE. YOUR FRIENDS WILL DIE AND EVERYTHING YOU HOPED FOR WILL BE LOST."

Oh Inquisitor - if you're trying to elicit despair or provoke me in any way, your words have the exact opposite effect.  To a modern-day Eris like me, talking like that is like spoken-word pornography. 

Thanks for dropping in!

LEGO #3817: SBSP - FLYING DUTCHMAN'S SHIP

Once I got started, it didn't take long to finish this 2-piece set.  The only difference with the manual instructions is it's less simplified than the Geonosian Cannon from 2012 (usually each step shows you how many of each block or piece is required, ex. Y block X4, Z block X2). 

It's a plan for the backburner but someday I'd like to order individual specific colored blocks to design the characters from Q*Bert and other 8-bit video games.
