Do You Know What The Cuttlefish Are Doing To Our Soil?

I was sitting back having a cool Coors 16-ouncer, watching a little NOVA on channel 57, and they had an expose--from Pueblo, Colorado--entitled: Do You Know What The Cuttlefish Are Doing To Our Soil? It exposed the anti-Je-heezus conspiracy of these communist cephalopods. Behold the following incontrovertible evidence:

1. Cuttlefish have the largest brain-to-body mass ratio of any invertebrate. Behavioral studies indicate that they are actually smarter than some vertebrates, including birds (like a burrow owl). In controlled studies, cuttlefish learned how to negotiate complex mazes. For instance, in order to escape a room in the maze, the cunning cephalopod had to see what was in the room for the clue to which door would be open. So it can keep several things in mind at once. Get that? Several things in its mind AT THE SAME TIME! This violates every tenet of the Bible and is clearly other-worldly work of the Prince of Darkness!
2. The Australian Giant Cuttlefish should read up on its Leviticus. For surely I say unto thee, they are an abomination. In this species, the larger, heterosexual Christian males--up to 3 feet in size--wrastle it out manly WWE style to compete for the smaller females' tentacles in marriage and egg copulatin'. Smaller, limp-armed sissy males should stand no chance. But hark! The devil comes like a flaming thief in the night! These queermo smaller males become AIDS-infested drag queens, disguising themselves as females by tucking their "webbed arms" up and taking on female coloration. The little fruits then quietly sneak down and engage in out-of-heterosexual-wedlock fornicatin' with the female. They succeed at this far more than the staight men cuttlefish succeed in wrastling for the females holy egg sacs. But fear ye not, for surely they shall be struck down by the Lawerd for this evil!
3. Finally, we come to the Flamboyant Cuttlefish. Need I say more? This tiny little wisp of a girly cephalopod is not just evil for being "flamboyant." It walks! That's right, WALKS! That makes it a creeping thing, and if Je-heezus had wanted cuttlefish to walk he would have listed them as kosher. Whenever it is approached by predators, it goes full Judy Garland and gets all metro-sexual colorful (bright yellows, dark browns, and reflective whites). Nothing will eat it then, because they become convinced its heathen flesh is deadly. And it is...as deadly as the bite of the blue-ringed octopus, and they can kill a man.

So what we have here is an order of creatures that are truly a danger to Gawd-fearing, Je-heezus-loving Americans such as myself. They can figure out puzzles, dress in drag, walk, act all gay, coordinate colors, and are poisonous.

And have you ever looked at the land around any large US city where there's a big underground cuttlefish population? Des Moines, Iowa, for example. Look at the soil around Des Moines. You can't build on it; you can't grow anything in it. The government says it's due to poor farming. But I know what's really going on. It's the cuttlefish. Their in it with the aliens. They're building landing strips for gay Europans! I swear to Gawd!

You know what Stuart, I like you. You're not like the other people, here in the trailer park.

Easter is Coming

A new god for the pantheon: Richard Cheese

His band: Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine.
(Website) - hear more songs at his Myspace (with several pages with more songs). We've all actually heard him before in Dawn of the Dead:
(btw, not safe for work)
.
I've found several songs & you'll all be getting a CD, rest assured.
I'm just plain overwhelmed. I think Creep (Radiohead) is my favorite.

Oh, and Joss is off Wonder Woman. He's working on some other project now.

Barbarians, and not the fun kind

Oh. My. God.

As if it weren't enough that Neil Gaiman's super-creepy children's story "Coraline" is being turned into a film by Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas guy). And that the movie would feature the voices of Saunders and French and Ian McShane. Now I learn that They Might Be Giants is doing the music for it. Sweet!

In Honor of the Catholic League...

...I present this song by Mojo Nixon. I would argue that this song is far more offensive than choco-Jesus, and I've been singing along to it for almost a decade (from Mojo Nixon and Jello Biafra's "Prairie Home Invasion").

It just occurred to me, is choco-Jesus offensive because it suggests that Jesus was "b-l-a-c-k?" I think that may explain a lot...

For those of you near the Birmingham area, remember that the Crawfish Boil is May 4-5 at Railroad Reservation Park (or what's built of it). Among other's I don't care too much for, Cracker and Collective Soul are playing. Plus, did I mention CRAWFISH BOIL!! It's a great event with great food, and it's for a good cause (I presume; don't ask me what it is...I don't do causes).

City Stages isn't until June, and the line-up is not looking too good (Poison? Are they shitting me?). I know I have to go to it, but I always end up more cranky and less drunk than the previous time I went. And they don't let you play in the fountains anymore. Stupid heath codes...
