The "he" is always lower case . . . . .

Ahh, finally a song for the rest of us.

The win is strong in this one.

Merry Freakin' Christmas

Ok, I know I posted this last year, but for those of you who missed it . . . .

If Martin Scorsese directed animated Christmas specials . . . . .

Raging Rudolph

Smaller packaging Sucks . . .

I think by now most of have noticed the grocery store shrink ray.

You know how it works, the price stays the same, but the product size gets smaller.

Yes, it's frustrating, but. . .

Oh Dear.

Just don't leave a message like this one . . .

Still Busy . . . .

Is the mad rush to the Holidays getting you down? Keeping you busy?

Clinton had his first basketball game last night, and tonight, the boys go to their Mother's for Thanksgiving.

I will work Wednesday, and then?

I plan to get up early Thursday morning and spend the day with Scottie, then drive back and spend the evening at the Bayhouse. We'll see. I may even drive up there Wednesday night.

Meantime, here's something to enjoy.

As God as my witness . . .

Sarah Makes Me Smile

No, not that one.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Sarah Haskins?

It's true.

She totally rocks Brave Sir Robin's world.

Her Target Women series is just absolutely adorable. I can't decide which one is my favorite, so I'd suggest watching them all.

You do know Sarah Haskins, right?

OK here is one of my favorites, but you really owe it to yourself to watch them all.



OK, or maybe it's this one:

Happy Birthday Alfred Matthew Yankovic

Yes, Weird Al turns 49 today. There was a time years ago, that I found him humorous. He came into his own at exactly the time MTV did, which was really the perfect forum for his brand of humor.

I find it slightly ironic that he still makes his living making fun of contemporary music, and I no longer enjoy him. How is that ironic you ask? The reason I no longer enjoy him is because I'm so freaking old I don't recognize any of the song he is parodying!

That's right, he hasn't become irrelevant, I have.

I realize many of you may not be a fan of his. I understand that. At the risk of falling into gender stereotypes, I get the feeling he is more popular among males than females. I imagine his demographic is the same as Mad Magazine's.

Love him or hate him, it's hard to deny his cleverness, and his longevity.

This is, I think, his Magnum Opus.

Rest In Peace Harvey Korman

Harvey Korman 2/15/27 - 5/29/08

Harvey Korman has passed away at the age of 81.

He was best known for his stint on the Carol Burnett show. As I've written before, I loved that show. To me, the absolute best part was seeing him fall apart laughing at Tim Conway's antics. Not only was Harvey a brilliant comedian, he obviously loved his work and loved life.


Of course he will always be remembered for that show, but don't forget Hedley Lamarr in Blazing Saddles. Oh, and lest we forget, he was the voice of the Great Gazoo on the Flinstones.

We'll all miss you Harvey.

Wherein I Find The Awesomest Thing In The History Of The Internet

This just may be the awesomest thing in the history of Awesomeness. I have looked like mad for the original page and context in which this appears, but I couldn't find it. I hate to just post someone else's writing, but it's awesomeness is such, that it begs to be shared.

Imagine if William Shakespeare wrote the screenplay for Pulp Fiction:



(Scene with Jules and Brett)

J: My pardon; did I break thy concentration?
Continue! Ah, but now thy tongue is still.
Allow me then to offer a response.
Describe Marsellus Wallace to me, pray.
B: What?
J: What country dost thou hail from?
B: What?
J: How passing strange, for I have traveled far,
And never have I heard tell of this What.
What language speak they in the land of What?
B: What?
J: The Queen's own English, base knave, dost thou speak it?
B: Aye!
J: Then hearken to my words and answer them!
Describe to me Marsellus Wallace!
B: What?
JULES presses his knife to BRETT's throat
J: Speak 'What' again! Thou cur, cry 'What' again!
I dare thee utter 'What' again but once!
I dare thee twice and spit upon thy name!
Now, paint for me a portraiture in words,
If thou hast any in thy head but 'What',
Of Marsellus Wallace!
B: He is dark.
J: Aye, and what more?
B: His head is shaven bald.
J: Has he the semblance of a harlot?
B: What?
JULES strikes and BRETT cries out
J: Has he the semblance of a harlot?
B: Nay!
J: Then why didst thou attempt to bed him thus?
B: I did not!
J: Aye, thou didst! O, aye, thou didst!
Thou hoped to rape him like a chattel whore,
And sooth, Lord Wallace is displeased to bed
With anyone but she to whom he wed.




Pure freaking genius. What I wouldn't give to see this actually filmed.
I think this guy wrote this, I found other passages on his site.

Satire Lives!!

I was so glad to see Comedy Central bring back Little Bush. This show truly pulls no punches, and is hysterical.

Season one has just been released on DVD, so time to catch up!



Bonus points if you can tell me who voices Little Rummy.

Bloody Hilarious!!!

I wish I could take credit for this!!!!

Via Ouyangdan by way of Red Queen, this was too funny to let it languish away in the comments.

Probably safe for work.



You will LOL!!

Funny Things I See On The Tubes . . .

While randomly searching foodie sites, I found this joke on the site A Fridge Full Of Food.

My fellow foodies will, I hope find this funny.

While attending a marriage seminar on communication, Wally and his wife Carolyn listened to the instructor declare, "It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other." He addressed the men, "Can you describe your wife's favorite flower?"

Wally leaned over, touched Carolyn's arm gently and whispered, "King Arthur White Whole Wheat, isn't it?"

That man has his priorities right.

God I Love The Onion!!!

Totally Fucking Brilliant

I Got What America Needs Right Here

Raging Rudolph

Remember that old Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer animation that was on TV every year when you were a kid?

Now imagine if Martin Scorsese directed it. You get the idea. Just think of it as my little contribution to the War On Christmas.



Merry Freakin' Christmas!!

I remember this on Mad TV many, many years ago. I was very glad to find it on You Tube.

Isn't the internet wonderful?

All Work And No Play.......

Make Brave Sir Robin a very dull cranky boy.

At the rate I'm going, I will be too tired to do anything but sleep on the ship. 12 hour days without a day off since the 22nd. I only worked 10 hours on Halloween and only 6 on Sunday, but I had to drive 4 hours Sunday to pick the kids up from their Mother's.

I really have planned to post, but work and sleep keep getting in the way.

I managed a run to the book store yesterday to pick up World Without End. I plan on re-reading The Pillars Of The Earth first. I started it yesterday, so between the two of those, I should be set for the cruise, they are both nice and long.

.... Hmm, that didn't sound very sexual did it? I can just hear Sean Connery on Celebrity Jeopardy saying, "Joost like yoor Moother likes it Trebek."

Enjoy:

I Feel The Need To Share

Brave Sir Robin is very, very busy. He will post more this week.

Meanwhile, we all know how prolific Bob Dylan was, but what I wasn't aware of is the fact that he wrote every single pop hit of the last 35 years!

This impersonation is just spot on.

Enjoy, and Brave Sir Robin hopes to see you here all week.

Can I Haz Frankenfurter?

Love Rocky Horror?

Love LOL Cats? (and really, who doesn't?)

Well then you will really love this site.

Immaculate Termination

This pretty much sums it up in a manner even the people who don’t follow politics can understand.

If you can’t tell they’re lying, you aren’t trying.

Rest In Peace - Larry "Bud" Melman

I was saddened to see that Calvert DeForest passed away. He was better known as Larry "Bud" Melman on the David Letterman Show.

I was a huge Letterman Fan back in the early 80's. I spent many a drunken party in college doing my Larry "Bud" Melman impersonation, which basically consisted of throwing back my head in that offhand fey way, and laughing like Truman Capote. Always a hit with the ladies for some bizarre reason.

Rest In Peace.

Holy Shit - This Is FUNNY!!

Ok - this is funnier if you already know the song, or ever watched Pee Wee.

Either way - this is way too funny not to share.
