rob morrisonmr. wizard vs. bill nye - it’s not a fair fight
| written by evan on 06/14/07 | leave a comment |
don herbert, tv’s mr. wizard, is dead. let’s all take a moment to pause and reflect on his contributions to science education and the field of ice stickiness (see video).
i mean, i love bill nye to death. i would donate a kidney to bill nye, even if he didn’t really need one. maybe he’s doing an experiment that involves urinating on things. i don’t know. the point is that bill nye is small potatoes next to the titan of science that is mr. wizard.

sifl and olly: happiness + tragedy = education

sifl and olly. unpronounceable genius sock puppets. you either loved, hated, were indifferent towards, or were unaware of this show’s existence (i think that covers all the bases). these guys are one of the last relics of the era when mtv showed some truly bizarre shit like liquid television, the head and the maxx and the zazz. i may have made that last one up.

david bowie’s magic balls
| written by evan on 03/01/07 | leave a comment |
everyone knows that david bowie has magical balls. his testes are a font of healing power that draws people of all genders and sexualities to them like moths to a flame. bards and minstrels have sung songs of praise to these balls, but did you know he once used this magic for evil? it’s true. as jareth the goblin king, he ruled a muppet-filled labyrinth with an iron scrotum.

the undertaker: wrestling’s beloved evil lazarus

video: the undertaker vs. papa shango
in the late 80’s and early 90’s, professional wrestling was real. Not just to me, a child who was convinced that playing Monopoly involved physically constructing houses and hotels in one’s neighborhood, but to a large number of (ostensible) adults. it was called “professional” for a reason; those guys in the headgear at the olympics were basically just fooling around, hoping that they would someday get called up to the big leagues and compete against real athletes like jake the snake roberts, kamala, the ugandan giant and the one man gang.
