In Honor Of TV's Hottest Doctor. . .Not So Fast McDreamy

Usually I try to discern whether some internetting thing or another is fake but in the case of these Flula Borg videos I find myself not caring. Because they’re so good. The German singer attempts to work through several idioms including “The Proof Is In The Pudding” and “Shoot The Sh*t.” The best is his bewildered, angry, offended analysis of the game “Rock Paper Scissors.” If this is fake…it’s art. (Laughing Squid)

One of my favorite blogs, What The F*ck Should I Make For Dinner, is being turned into a book. That sounds f*cking delectable. (Village Voice)

Speaking of foul mouths, here’s a Periodic Table of swearing. It’s obviously British so remember that banned Pajiba C-word isn’t as offensive on their side of the pond. (BioTV)

And while we’re on the subject of foreign words, jM sent me this excellent game called Font vs. Cheeeeeese (Gromit!). It’s harder than you think. (Cheese or Font)

Speaking of fonts, the lovely Stardust sent me this excellent Karate Kid/Typography shirt. “Daniel Sans.” (Woot)

Ah, but Karate Kid is easy pop culture. Can you identify all these pop cultural faces? I know I couldn’t, not even when I figured out they were helpfully grouped. (Society 6)

Apple stores throughout the country shut down this morning in honor of Steve Jobs’ memorial service. Unreality has a fitting tribute with this visual evolution of the Apple products. Oh, Apple IIGS, you were my first love. (Unreality)

There’s a new Tom Waits album out. And it’s streaming online. I’ve got access codes for the first five people to accurately describe the nature of Waits’ voice. Bonus points for the use of “whisky” “sandpaper” “gravel” and “honey badger.” (Bad As Me)

Over on Uproxx, our very own Honey Badger, Dustin Rowles, pays tribute to Christopher Turk. It’s something we never get tired of doing. (Uproxx)

Seth made me do it. It’s not my fault. YOU’LL NEVER PIN IT ON ME, COPPERS. (Explosm)

Craig pointed out this story of an actress who sued IMDB for revealing her real age. SUING? Wow, way to make a bad situation truly depressing, lady. (/Film)

Check out this super full moon. It’s like fuller than full. What does that mean? I don’t know, there’s science on this page but mostly there’s a real purty photo. (Boing Boing)

Michael Winslow (no relation to Carl) of Police Academy and Spaceballs fame (you know, the bleeps, the sweeps and the creeps?) does Zeppelin. It’s even better than you’re thinking.

Finally, the geniuses at “How It Should Have Ended” give Ghostbusters the treatment. The first ending’s alright. The second is great. The third is phenomenal.

"he loves pizza roles"

I may never let Dustin live that down. Unless, of course, Turk actually enjoys portraying pizza, in which case I'll eat my hat*.

*I always thought that sounded dirty...

Hmmm... John Waite's voice... boring...

OH... TOM Waits voice.

10 cartons a day, gargling with Drano, followed by a whiskey chaser, with a side of cheese grater to the tonsils.

Tom Waits' voice?

Dirty fucking.

The good kind.

Posted by: Ghisent at October 19, 2011 1:22 PM

"The voice of someone who gargles with fire ants."

Tom Waits: A dry, dusty gravel road of a voice.

Posted by: Kenny G. at October 19, 2011 1:31 PM

The voice coming out of the dark by the campfire where the bottle has never stopped being passed and no one has slept in a year.

Posted by: Reba at October 19, 2011 1:41 PM

And that's it! Alas! All outta codes! So lost without you!

Posted by: Joanna Robinson at October 19, 2011 1:43 PM

Hmm...Tom Waits voice: like rubbing the ass of a honey badger with sandpaper and gravel, then pouring whiskey on it?

Posted by: NateS1973 at October 19, 2011 2:24 PM

Damn...missed it by |-| that much

Posted by: NateS1973 at October 19, 2011 2:25 PM

Considering how hard it is for women older than 21 to get acting gigs, it is actually kind of a big deal. I don't know how it is for SAG, but Equity (the stage actors union) has in fact made it illegal for casting directors to force your actual age disclosure, because it's supposed to be how you look and act. That actress might have gotten typed out of any number of auditions sight unseen just because she was known to be a hag of 32.

Tom Waits' voice is like the sweet dulcet tones of a folk singer who has bathed in whiskey-soaked gravel for a week before toweling off with sandpaper and swallowing an entire honey badger.

Bonus points?

Thoroughly enjoyed the Ghostbusters alternate endings, and the Potty Mouth Periodic Table is well worth its weight as a reference.

The singing voice of Tom Waits: Interminable.

The presence of Tom Waits in surreal film: Brilliant.

Posted by: lubeg at October 19, 2011 4:13 PM

Tom Waits' voice has a snorky, brambish feel. It's a little brunky, but the low humidity affects that.

Posted by: Xvi at October 19, 2011 4:58 PM

Can you identify all these pop cultural faces?

NO. And it's awful. Time-consumingly so.
Does someone have a list or a walkthrough or something? Help me...!


****SPOILER
I get Pulp Fiction, Batman, the Simpsons, Terminator, Frankenstein, Tintin, Spiderman, Starsky and Hutch, the A-Team, Kick-Ass, Star Wars, Asterix and Obelix, Jason, Watchmen, Shrek & Donkey, Blues Brothers, The Flash, Pacman, Southpark, Marvin (Hitchhiker's Guide... but where's the rest of them?) Avatar, Harry Potter, Ninja Turtles, X-Men, Big Lebowski, Gremlins, V, Robocop, Futurama.

Further guesses are Dracula (with the teeth), Charlie Chaplin (with the Hitler-mustache and the hat), Snake Plissken (eye patch on the wrong side, though), Hollow Man (mummy with hat), Hannibal Lecter (with that mask), a Smurf (only one of them?), Shaft (or generally Wesley Snipes) and Jack Skellington (where are the others?).

Dammit. Imperfection. Help, pleeease.

That Ghostbusters video is really, really lame.

But Micheal Winslow is awesome.

Posted by: FabMax at October 19, 2011 6:55 PM

I've never understood why c--t is so much more offensive then any other swear word? I mean what's the difference between calling someone a cockbite or a shit head and a c--t?

Posted by: Ben at October 19, 2011 8:05 PM

That Zeppelin video filled me with joy. I only wish it had lasted longer.

Posted by: Anne At Large at October 19, 2011 8:59 PM

Winslow does a stellar Hendrix as well.

Posted by: Matt at October 19, 2011 10:14 PM

The c-word (as, I suppose, I have to write it on these pages) is considered very offensive in Britain, but there is also great enjoyment in using it, in some quarters (my house, for instance). I really think everyone should start being OK with it (and with all swearwords in general).

That Michael Winslow clip is one of the craziest things I've ever seen.

As for Tom Waits, I once compared his voice to someone mixing a martini in a blender on the rocks, except that the rocks are literal rocks, and they also threw in some haggis just for fun. Now, after becoming acclimated to it, I think his voice is closer to a jet engine that just sucked up a goose and exploded.

Posted by: ChristianH at October 20, 2011 11:14 AM

I'm with you Ben. I don't get it either. To me, c--t is certainly not worse than fuck.

Posted by: ang at October 20, 2011 11:29 AM

I'm a big fan of the c-word as well. There's something paternalistic about thinking it's more offensive than, say, dick or asshole.
