Epic Win: Bread and Jam for Frances

Oct. 16, 2009

bread-and-jam

Submitted by Noelle C, badger badger badger

I think we can all relate to Bread and Jam for Frances. Lots of kids go through a phase where they only want to eat one food — grilled cheese, PBJ, chicken fingers, etc. (Personally, I was a hot dog kid.) Frances only wants to eat bread and jam, so her parents let her eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. See where this lesson is going? Bread and Jam for Frances is the only kids book I know that teaches healthy eating habits.

Epic Win: Marvin the Martian

Oct. 16, 2009

Submitted and Written by Mike, Martian sympathizer

Marvin has tried to destroy the Earth with his “Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator”, because, as he says, it obstructs his view of Venus.

“Where’s the kaboom? There was supposed to be a an earth shattering KABOOM!”

’80s Music Video Thursday

Oct. 15, 2009

I thought it’d be fun to mix things up for this Thursday afternoon and post a few music videos from the ’80s. These videos are awesome. Also terrible. Awesomely terrible. But again, mostly regular terrible.

Feel free to post more incredibly bad music videos in the comments, and I’ll pick the best for next week.

“Let’s Groove” by Earth Wind and Fire
In space, no one can hear you groove. All night.

“Abracadabra” by Steve Miller
In case you missed it, there’s a magic theme going on here.

“I Wanna Love You Tender” by Armi and Danny
These dance moves aren’t going to make Beyonce jealous. But seriously, worst choreography ever?

Epic Win: Kit Kat Commercials

Oct. 15, 2009

Submitted and Written by Josh H, chocoholic

I just saw a commercial on television for Kit Kat Bars, and I remembered the good old commercials they used to have with the very catchy song: “Give me a break, give me a break. Break me off a piece of that KIT KAT BAR!”

Neat fact: Kit Kats have become popular in Japan recently because it sounds so similar to kitto katsu, which translates to “You will surely win!” Apparently that makes them good luck charms.

Also, pretend that video stops at 0:30.

Epic Win: Rush

Oct. 14, 2009

Submitted and Written by Paul Rizzerati and the Buckets of Blood, Rush cover band

Rush is like a sexual explosion of sound. Greatest drummer of all time and greatest bass player of all time, plus an excellent guitarist are pretty sweet right? Well, not until you add the incredible lyrics and the fact the just three guys can recreate a symphony of sound with total perfection that make professional musicians say HOLY F! As a kid I loved this song, and also the way the band spoke to non-conformist kids who weren’t ready to go full goth or full jock but just wanted to maintain some individuality in high school. This is what real talent looks like.

That’s one hell of a write up. Well done!
