It’s Called Goosey Night

All of my life, the night before Halloween was known as “Goosey Night,” which is fine when you’re in your little suburban New Jersey bubble. Venture outside of this bubble and the laughs begin. Let me take you back to my first October 30th at college:

Friend
Wanna do anything tonight?
Me
I don’t really do anything on Goosey Night.
Friend
What?
Me
Goosey Night. The night before Halloween.
And then that friend punched me in the face and took my wallet yelling, “It’s Mischief Night, sucka what?!?” All I can recall is the sweet falsetto at the end of that “what” before blacking out.
Look, I stand by Goosey Night like I stand by the state it comes from. Now, when people ask me what I’m doing for Mischief Night, I yell “Don’t you mean Goosey Night?!?” and punch them in the face before they know what’s happening. It’s called Paying It Forward. 
According to definition number 7 at Urban Dictionary.com, “Goosey” is a “Texas word for sex.” Sounds pretty good to me. A whole lot better than Mischief Night. What would you rather partake in? Mischief or Texas Sex? Seriously, think about all the things you can do with a partner when there are spurs, six shooters, Stetsons, and Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders involved.
Still not convinced? That’s ok. You Mischief Night-ers may never see eye-to-eye with us on Goosey Night but I think we can all agree that the dumbest name would have to be “Cabbage Night.” What the hell is that about?

Tor’s Product Review: Lady Time, All The Time

Remember this old fight from freshman year of high school:

Girl 1
I hate you!
Girl 2
I hate you more!
Girl 1
I wish you had your period always!
Girl 2
Oh yeah? Well, I wish you had your period always…plus one!
Girl 1
I wish you had your period always…infinity!
Good times. Always remembers that fight too and came up with…

Always Infinity. As Adam Sandler’s character Barry once said in an SNL sketch, “Who are the ad wizards who came up with this one?” I think a woman wants nothing more than to think about that time of the month becoming the length of that month and every other month after that. Then the response to “What are you, on the rag?” can be “Well, I’m a woman between puberty and menopause, aren’t I? So, I guess the answer is yes.” Here’s your period…FOREVER! Was “Always And For The Rest Of Your Miserable, Cranky, Bloated, Uncomfortable Life” taken? Wow. 

Well done, Always.

Tor’s Product Review: Old Person Hat

They have grey hair, varicose veins, thick glasses, and a whole lot of shirt hidden below the top of their pants. They drive into parked cars, walk like a wind-up toy, complain about produce, and rarely bathe. They are so close to death, they smell like the oak that will surround them in the ground. But other than that, there’s no real way to tell if someone is old and, therefore, should be paying less for certain things at certain stores.

Until now…

It’s the “Don’t Forget My Senior Discount” hat! No longer will old people have to go through mild strokes when the check comes with that extra ten percent.* No longer will they have to do that creepy, old person throat clear thing necessary to allow their speech. And most importantly, no longer will us younger people have to interact with them because most of the time they do give you the weather and not the news. Well, the weather if it rained phlegm and Polident. Not pleasant.

So bravo, makers of this hat. I approve and so does the guy in the picture. Look how happy he is.
* I know it’s mathematically more than ten percent. Ten percent off is not the same as ten percent back on the price you took ten percent off of but that’s not really the point of the blog entry. I also understand that some places like the movie theater go as high as thirty percent but, again, not the point. Let it go, man. Just let it go.

Going To The Movies: Dwight Schrute

Last night, I had the (let’s go with) pleasure of going to the movies with Dwight Schrute of The Office fame. Actually, we didn’t go to the movies. We attempted to see a sneak preview of Changeling.

Kevin
Dwight, thanks for being on the show.
Dwight Schrute
Thank you for having me.
Kevin
I guess we should talk about why you dragged me out of the theater halfway through the movie, brought me to the barn at your beet farm, and made me watch your cousin Mose perform your interpretation of what the movie should have been.
Dwight Schrute
I don’t know what Clint Eastwood was thinking but his movie was not realistic.
Kevin
It’s based on true events.
Dwight Schrute
I doubt it. That replacement boy was not the child of an elf, a fairy, or a troll.
Kevin
What?
Dwight Schrute
A changeling is the offspring of a fairy, troll, elf, or other legendary creature that has been secretly left in the place of a human child.
Kevin
Did you get that off Wikipedia?
Dwight Schrute
I made the entry.
Kevin
So Mose was playing one of those changelings.
Dwight Schrute
No. Were you even paying attention?
Kevin
Apparently not.
Dwight Schrute
Mose was a shapeshifter from the planet Ogdorp Six. He vaporized each person that got in his way with his Guante del Muerte and then assumed their form until everyone on Earth was eliminated.
Kevin
I did not get that at all. All I saw was Mose running around in a large dress for most of the four and half hours.
Dwight Schrute
He likes to incorporate mother’s dress into most of his performances. It’s a Mose signature.
 
Kevin
I’ll keep an eye out for that.
Dwight Schrute
You should see his Mystic River. Pedophiles don’t stand a chance against an omnipotent and vengeful body of water.
Kevin
I’m sure they don’t.
(beat)
Well, that’s our time. As usual, the movie discussion was light. From what I saw, Angelina Jolie was really good but I’ll have to go back to the movies to see how it ended. Thanks to Dwight Schrute and Mose for an enlightening experience. Would you like to add anything, Dwight?
Dwight Schrute
Come out to Schrute Farms. Bring your family for a day of beet-related agrotourism fun. If you’ve never been to a beet farm in the fall, you are missing out. You can eat them right out of the ground. Mention this show and get four percent off your stay.
Kevin
Sounds great. Tune in next time. We don’t have a guest booked yet and I can sort of understand why.

Funny Stuff That Ain’t Mine: Anaconda 3

“Once you see this thing, you unload everything you can until it stops moving and you shoot only for the head.” I may leave my wife for this movie. It pains me that I didn’t think of this first. David Hasselhoff and man-eating, super snakes. This is going to be the number one movie of all time in Germany.

Other Things The Vice President Doesn’t Do

When the liberal lefties start planting impossible to answer questions in third graders like Brandon Garcia to further their agenda, it becomes apparent just how dirty the democrats are playing this game. Since VP candidate Palin got the answer wrong and no one really knows what the Vice President does (or ever will), I thought I would make a list that comes from the other direction. Here are some other things the Vice President doesn’t do:

  1. Fly
  2. Kill bugs dead
  3. Take care of people Soprano’s style
  4. Take care of people any style
  5. The Bartman
  6. Rename the states so they’re in alphabetical order West to East
  7. Swallow swords
  8. Perform autopsies
  9. Pose for adult magazines
  10. Chase waterfalls
  11. Get their own video game
  12. Travel through time
  13. Leave home without it
  14. Physically juggle babies
  15. Control the CIA
  16. Control NATO
  17. Control the universe (Andy Richter’s job, btw)
  18. Run the country when the President is on a pee break
  19. Get background dancers
  20. Marry people at sea
  21. Take two species and genetically engineer superanimals (or just funny ones he/she wants to see)
  22. Prank call Hungary (“Hello?” “Yes. Are you Hungary?” “Yes” and hilarity ensues)
  23. Poop where they eat (unless it’s a medical problem)
  24. Get a pet eagle
  25. Come from Alaska

Madonna and Guy Ritchie Headlines

When I recently saw the headline, “Lock, Stock, and One Smoking Divorce Settlement,” used to depict the end of Madonna and Guy Ritchie, I decided I could do much worse.

  1. Desperately Seeking Separation
  2. Who’s That Girl…Leaving Guy Ritchie?
  3. Annulment of Their Own
  4. Evict-a
  5. DroppinVoguer

Going To The Movies: Barney Stinson

Over the weekend, I went to see Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. I was joined by Barney Stinson from the wonderful TV show, How I Met Your Mother, which can be seen on Mondays on CBS.

Kevin
Barney.
Barney Stinson
What uuuup? This is going to be legen-
Kevin
Barney, I’m going to have to stop you right there. I have a little challenge for you. You can’t say “awesome” or “legendary” for the rest of the show.
Barney Stinson
Can I finish the one I started?
Kevin
No.
Barney Stinson
Jesus, Kevin, you take me to a chick movie with no chicks at our side. What is that about? Bro Code Article 46: Under no circumstances-
Kevin
Barney, I don’t subscribe to the Bro Code.
Barney Stinson
Bro Code Article 47-
Kevin
I thought it was 46.
Barney Stinson
It was. I was starting a new one. Bro Code Article 47: All men subscribe to the Bro Code and shall not interrupt fellow bro announcing any article of the Bro Code. As I was saying, Bro Code Article 46: Under no circumstances can a bro incapacitate another bro’s vocabulary after that bro accompanies original bro to a stupid movie with no dates. Now where was I? Oh right. Dary!
Kevin
Whatever. So you thought it was a stupid movie. I actually liked it a lot.
Barney Stinson
What could you have possibly liked about it? First of all, none of the characters wore suits. None of them. How are you supposed to be taken seriously in any endeavor if you don’t dress seriously? You can’t get a girl without a suit. 
(smirks to himself)
That’s why they call them suitors and not dirty-zip-up-hoodie-and-skinny-jeans-ers.
Barney raises his hand for a high five.
Kevin
(shakes head)
You’ve done better.
Barney Stinson
(puts down hand)
Kevin, let’s wrap this movie thing up. You liked it. I hated it. I can have us knee-deep in drunken college girls in ten minutes. We’re right by Rutgers, right?
Kevin
Barney, first off, it’s two in the afternoon. Secondly, I’m married.
Barney Stinson
Aha! If you were serious about your marriage, you would have said that first. Now, here’s the plan. We’re grad students studying pharmacology. College babes love drugs, legal or otherwise.
Kevin
No.
Barney Stinson
How about residents at insert name of local hospital? I’ll google it right now.
Kevin
No.
Barney Stinson
You, sir, are the worst wingman I have ever met. I’m leaving and there’s nothing you can do to stop me.
Kevin
Thank you for being on the show.
Barney gets up and walks to the door. He stops awkwardly facing out of it.
Barney Stinson
(not facing Kevin)
Even if you came to your senses and said you would pretend to be my unnecessarily loud, financial adviser helping me figure out how to spend my newly inherited fortune due to the tragic death of my uncle who raised me from the time I was five because my parents had to go into hiding from the Russian mafia…
(breaking into fake tears)
 …and they were not very good at hiding.
(back to no fake tears voice)
Not even then.
Kevin
(sighs)
Fine, but you need a better story for the inheritance.
Barney Stinson
(turns around)
I knew I could count on you.
Kevin
Let me just sign off. I want to thank my guest-
Barney Stinson
And best friend-
Kevin
We’re not best friends.
Barney Stinson
(laughs sarcastically)
Right, Kevbo.
Kevin
Thanks to Barney Stinson for being on the show. We were split on Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. I felt it was a great story set to wonderful music. The acting was superb and there was real chemistry between Michael Cera and Kat Dennings. Barney felt otherwise.
Barney Stinson
It suuuuucked.
Kevin
Tune in next time when our guest will be Dwight Schrute from The Office. Looking forward to that. Good night.

McCain’s Final Debate Notes

I was fortunate enough to get my hands on the paper that McCain was writing (and apparently drawing) on during the final debate with Obama. It really sheds some light on this man.

Going To The Movies: Vic Mackey


I’m starting a new series on my blog where I take a TV character and discuss a movie with him or her. Today, I went to see Beverly Hills Chihuahua with Vic Mackey from The Shield. 

Kevin
Alright, Vic. Thanks for coming to the movies with me.
Vic Mackey
Let’s make this quick. I got the Chief up my ass for dodging police work while I’m on the clock.
Kevin
Understood. What did you think of Beverly Hills Chihuahua?
Vic Mackey
It sucked. You got some pampered mutt getting her paws dirty south of the border finding help from lowlife scum. It’s not easy to swallow.
Kevin
You felt sorry for the dog? Chloe?
Vic Mackey
Not at all. The only way man’s Mexican best friend is helping Chloe is if there’s the promise of some sweet Chihuahua dump hump on the back end.
Kevin
Dump hump? Creepy. So you didn’t find the movie with talking dogs on an adventure believable.
Vic Mackey
Are you cracking wise, Tor? Because you and I can take a ride down to Cartel Town. I’ll dress you up in the wrong colors, crazy glue some guns into each of your hands.
Kevin
Vic, I’m a comedian. I was being funny.
Vic Mackey
Were you? I thought you were being disrespectful.
Kevin
Can we get back to the movie?
Vic Mackey
Why? Don’t like your kitchen hot? A little confrontational bear hug got your cojones in a vice?
Kevin
What?
Vic Mackey
Running narcos with Spanish bullion over Spook Street.
Kevin
Are you ok? Your eye is twitching.
Vic Mackey
Popping cherries down at the old folk’s home with Ramon.
Kevin
Who’s Ramon?
Vic Mackey
Biz Lats! Juice Newton! Pension! Badge! I.S.A.!
Kevin (O.S.)
Can we go to commercial? Something’s wrong.
Cut to commercial for Friday’s and cut back to show.
Kevin
And we’re back. I want to thank Vic Mackey for coming on the show and I hope he recovers. I don’t think he liked the movie though his criticism was lacking. I guess it’s understandable, what with the stroke and all. Myself? I didn’t care for the movie, either. We’ve gotten so spoiled with fantastic, talking animal movies over the past few years (Racing Stripes, Cats and Dogs, Blonde and Blonder) that this felt inferior from the opening scene. A real shame with how amazing the trailer looked. Well, that’s our show. Tune in next time when our guest will be Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother. Very excited about that one. Good night.
