Emo Senator Mike “Tor” Parry appears to have a real future in low-budget horror/sci-fi movies whenever his current low-budget horror/sci-fi gig is over.

Turns out the Wege is a bit older than he looks.

I think he may have had some work done.

It’s what? A red dot? Where? On your forehead? I don’t see anything. Your forehead looks the same as it always has.

Honestly, the way you do go on and on and on about imaginary weird stuff sometimes.

Dude. Same as it ever was.

Dead End Kids

Longtime readers may have noticed how literal-minded your kindly old Auntie Tild is. There doesn’t seem to be anything I can do about that, much as I’d like to. Here’s a good example: Yesterday Spot mentioned “Norm on Death Row” as an alternate title for this post.

I read the words ‘death row’ and immediately envision Jimmy Cagney and Pat O’Brien walking “the last mile” at the conclusion of the terrific 1938 movie Angels With Dirty Faces.

Shortly thereafter, that vision translates itself into this:

*sigh* Let’s face it — the queen of visual subtlety I am not.

Actually I should do penance at the tombs of Huntz Hall and Leo Gorcey for equating them with Norm Coleman and his lawyers.

What an insult to the Dead End Kids.

Ia! Ia! Northulhu fhtagn!

Sometimes they come back…

In honor of the occasion, I’ve composed a bit of verse.

*ahem*

That is not dead
Which can eternal blog
And with strange aeons
…uhh…
Even a dog may be a frog

Or a hog
In the fog
On a log

HP Lovecraft would be proud of these efforts, I’m sure. In fact, were HPL alive today, I’m sure he’d be saying..

LET ME OUT OF HERE!!!
[fingernails frantically scraping on inner casket lid]
LET ME OUT OF HERE!! AAAAUUUUUGGGHHH!!

Heh heh. Welcome back, Norwegianity.

We Can Build the Dream With Love: MLK Day 2009

Tild — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 22:16:50 +0000

I’ve been over at Blip.fm all day, playing tunes in honor of MLK day today and the Inauguration tomorrow, and who should I encounter there but one of my Blogmothers — the legendary Jude Nagurney Camwell, aka Iddybud.

Iddybud was one of the first blogs I ever read, way back in those long ago days lost in the mists of time… She’s moved once or twice but is still at it; doing the good work and playing some great music as always.

Go now and enjoy this lovely post she put up today in honor of Dr. King. Props to you, Jude!

Physicians Against Nutrition

Dr. Brian Davis comes out against food stamps, school lunches and other outrageous “entitlements” in the Farm Bill.

Ollie Ox at Bluestem Prairie has all the meaty details, from soup to nuts.

Dr. Davis, one of the founding members of a new PAC named Physicians Against Nutrition , was asked for a quote to accompany this article. He wisely intoned:

“The mission statement for Physicians Against Nutrition reinterprets the age-old creed of the healer to speak to the needs of the 21st century ward heeler, to whit: First do no harm …to my pocketbook, dammit!”

Ahh. Food for thought indeed.
