Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, I'm now watching Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (the '78 flick with Peter Frampton The Bee Gees.) Why am I watching this? It's hard to explain. I wanted to see it when it came out but never did. I saw a little bit of it when a salesperson was demonstrating a laserdisc player to my dad. It looked so cool, but that might have just been the novelty of the laserdisc player. (Plus the six-wheeled Olds Toronado limo was cool.) I wanted my dad to buy the laserdisc player and the movie, but he was concerned about buying some new technology that might be a failure in the marketplace or somesuch nonsense. So, I've wanted to see it all these years.

Anyway, I'm 15 minutes into it. Does it ever start to, um, suck less?

Oh well. Gotta follow my childhood dream/obsession/whatever anyway...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Aerosmith does a good version of "Come Together."

Earth, Wind and Fire do a good version of "Got To Get You Back In My Life."

Steve Martin does a truly awful version of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer."

The Bee Gees and Peter Frampton look utterly risible.

Jon! Your White Castle ads are fucking genius! Who knew you could play the blues on a "theramin"!

Psychedelic blues at that.

Also, who knew you could sing?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Heh. I just showed them to my visiting Mom who commented, "You're so different from how I'm used to seeing you." To which I replied, "That's why they call it Acting!

And thanks!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Those are awesome, Jon! Are they on the air yet?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Jon, heeeee!! What amusing commercials. Good stuff. Congrats on your...television debut? I never know; Buffistas are all so goddamn famous, you may have been on TV before.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So cool! Congrats, Jon.
