OK guys, we did this last time, we can do it again. Last time Chop Shop created the Robot T shirt and we came very close to naming them all. This time let's see if we can figure them all out again with their latest creation. I see vehicles from Wacky Races, Scooby Doo and The Jetsons in there, but most I'm clueless over.
Every once in a while, something happens that makes watching an entire game of basketball worth the while. Unfortunately, that something often causes pain to some innocent bystander, like this cheerleader.
No sir, I don't have time to talk to you about saving myself. No, I don't want to take a non-passable psychological exam. Free medicine and food if I attend your weekly services? Thanks, but I'll pass. Selling the business of religion needs to be redone, and I'm just the atheist to set it straight.
Recently we posted the phone messages that knucklehead "Dimitri" left for a girl named Olga. (I've listened to it in awe three times. The best part is the next day Gary Cooper-like high noon ultimatum.) The messages have spread on the web like influenza.
I was curious and did a little digging. It turns he is a "disgraced former doctor" named James Sears from Toronto. He calls himself "Dimitri the Lover." And the wheels are coming of the wagon quickly. His comeuppance is coming. Swift and sure.
He has been selling a "seduction manual" to losers in Toronto on how to seduce woman. And has held seminars -- at $40 bucks a pop -- to "teach" men tricks of the pick-up artist trade. Toronto newspaper The Sun wrote an expose on the guy last week.
James had his medical license stripped for "repeated sexual misconduct" sixteen years ago. His website has a radio interview where he uses the catchphrases "elegant" and "couldn't take my eyes of you" repeatedly. Just ridiculous.
Ladies, especially those of you in the Loyal 77 that read my columns, please be wary of any man that says, "You look so elegant. I just couldn't take my eyes off you." Kick that guy in the grapes.
This week is New American Music Union week at YesButNoButYes. In conjunction with American Eagle Outfitters, we have TWO pairs of free tickets to give away to YBNBY readers for this brand new, two-day music festival taking place in Pittsburgh, PA on August 8th & 9th.
Each morning this week we'll be running a YouTube clip from one of the bands playing at the festival, including Bob Dylan, The Raconteurs, Gnarls Barkley, The Roots, The Black Keys and many more. There's also a second stage where 19 of the country's top college bands duke it out for free recording time in LA.
Full details of the festival can be found on the NAMU site. Note, this competition is for TICKETS ONLY. You'll need to make your own travel arrangements, so it's going to be ideal for someone who lives in or near Pittsburgh. Oh, and everyone who goes to the concert also gets a free limited edition T Shirt, so that's a pretty good deal.
To enter, all you have to do is send your name and mailing address to us at namutickets@yesbutnobutyes.com, and we'll pick two winners after July 4th, who will each receive two tickets.
Good luck, and meanwhile, enjoy the clip of The Raconteurs playing a live version of Steady As She Goes.
There are many questions that crop up when thinking about the vast Star Wars universe. How does Jabba the Hutt go to the bathroom, for example. Does he have to give a half hours notice to the staff and slither slowly to the water closet? How do we overlook that Princess Leia gave her BROTHER Luke a full-on frenchified kiss in Empire Strikes Back? That was not right. Why did the Stormtroopers wear cumbersome suits of armor at all times? Didn't this limit their mobility in a fight? And the armor didn't seem to protect them at all from laser blasts. Wherever they were hit, they went down anyway. Seems a wee bit counter productive to me. Like the British soldiers in the Revolutionary War wearing bright red jackets so the rag-tag American militias could shoot them easier. "You believe this Willy? Them Brits are wearing red and marching in a straight line. Fish in a barrel! Shoot 'em! Shoot 'em!"
Those and many more questions have plagued curious minds over the years.
But this is what I really wonder;
What are the sexual practices among all the different species in the neighboring galaxies?
