The Goat Pen

I am about 3 episodes behind schedule on breaking bad

He really put some feeling in it when he sang "break your gun on a stump"...

Guy on a buffalo t-shirts...

it looks like it was filmed in the 70's

I don't remember that show and I doubt it was called Guy on a Buffalo...

Sometimes dumb internet videos transcend their dumbness and become truly wonderful. This is the case, in my humble opinion, with the instant classic Guy on a Buffalo, a four-part series in which footage from the 1978 film Buffalo Rider (apparently now in the public domain) is combined with a sort of rambling singing narration by Jomo Edwards of The Possum Posse. “Why would I want to watch that?” you might ask. “Because this guy is riding a frickin’ buffalo,” I’d tell you.

I can’t explain why I find this so funny and memorable, and that’s why I’m posting it. Maybe it’s just that the song is so catchy? I can’t get the song-snippet “One day, the guy on the buffalo…” out of my head. And I’ve been trying for three days. I may be going mad — won’t you join me? I’ve even attempted watching the entire 90-minute original Buffalo Rider to see if that would cure me, but had to give up after ten minutes of intense snoozy boredom. Anyway, enjoy your new earworm infection!

Breaking Bad - I dont get how people get so wound up & disgusted by Walt's behaviour

he's a meth-cooking drug dealer, he's supposed to be apalling

My mom had a picture of mr and my sis sitting on a buffalo in Hollywood Fla.

Yeah, but "Guy and his sister on a buffalo" just doesn't have the same ring to it...

I sent guy on a buffalo to a buddy of mine thinking his young daughters would like it, he said they'd been singing it all summer....

Watching a Natgeo on Russian prisons. They finally got something right.

This guy kills me. Watch it all the way through cause at the end you can use your keyboard to record and play back the music and he even says stuff about it.

"LOOK AT YOU ON THE INTERNET!!" Awesome stuff.

I really like the Will McVoy rants on newsroom - they do make me think about my positions, but last night after watching the most recent episode, all this show is doing is what MSNBC wanted to do but failed and that is become the anti-Fox. They also do a great job of being entertaining while being informative. I would have never known about Justice Thomas' little side venture for his wife.

But John Stewart is the anti-Fox. My biggest problem with the most recent rant by McVoy about the tea party, RINO's, etc is that he won't acknowledge why the tea party came into being. If you can't admit the current form of government failed - in this case the GOP from 2000-2008 then you'll never understand the position of the tea party.

To compromise in government today means that you'll still support in some form increased government spending. We've yet to have any compromise that meant actual cuts. At best we've had a shell game, and at worst we've had the most insulting premise being that cutting future spending increases (while still ending up with a net increase) is a spending cut for government.

Take out all the pro-life, kill brown people, liberal media is evil bullshit that all the tea party pin heads are screaming about and what you have left is that core principle.

I think Grover Norquist is a dick and I hate that he has congress by the balls with his no tax increase plan, but I'm not certain that level of discipline isn't necessary. Now if Norquist would just switch his focus to spending cuts instead of taxes, America would be much fiscally stronger.

"all this show is doing is what MSNBC wanted to do but failed and that is become the anti-Fox."

I think MSNBC does a pretty good job of being the anti-Fox...

"Take out all the pro-life, kill brown people, liberal media is evil bullshit that all the tea party pin heads are screaming about and what you have left is that core principle."

Yeah, but that's kinda like saying "Yes, Mrs. Lincoln, but aside from that, how did you like the play?"

true, I'm disgusted with what the tea party has become when thinking about the potential they showed early on.,

Yep. The Tea Party chose their brand and it's not primarily about spending anymore.

I haven't seen the last Newsroom. Been busy this week. I will try to catch up with it tonight.

MSNBC is the anti-Fox in approach, but it is not as entertaining. I enjoy a lot of the Fox ridiculous editorializing shows. The only one I can not stomach is Hannity...and Huckabee is just as boring as many MSNBC shows. Jon Stewart is the Anti-Fox, but he's almost anti-news as its constructed today. I do think that Stewart has gotten so good, he's avoided by many of the Fox crowd. He just obliterates them and calls them on their duplicity. Only Chris Wallace and O'Reilly ever do Stewart's show. I applaud them for their courage.

with the caveat that he does their shows.

He absolutely kills that Fox morning show.

btw, I'm up to where Brother Moves On drives up to the towers on The Wire.

I suspect he is going to wreak havoc but don't tell me - I don't want any spoilers.

Right now I'm hoping Omar takes care of him but there is no connection at this point.

You're in for a surprise then...

BIIIIIG Time Surprise.

LOL @ Brother Moves On. Brother Mouzone. It fucked with my head when I saw him all nerdy in an airline commercial a few years back. I was like "watch out Stewardess, he will kill you! And make sure you don't screw up and forget his Harper's magazine!"

Breaking Bad [spoiler=]I find it funny as hell when Walt does something terrible and then remembers he could have done it another way. Like realizing he could have got the names from the chick instead of having to shoot Mike. The entire show is going to end badly. It just has too. I would like to see him get away and live happy ever after but it just won't happen. Mike was right in everything that he told him before Walt shot him. And Jessie was right about the money being what Walt was after in the first place.[/spoiler]

True Blood [spoiler=]Bill has lost his fucking mind. What kind of non-sense was that? He has done shit like this before but it was always an act to fool whomever and then do the right thing in a sense. He went from zero to crazy in a short span. There are no more vampire bad guys now with basically everyone dying in this episode and now will be replaced by Bill apparently going forward. However, I see the other fanger, Waldorf (forget his name exactly the one Sookie is suppoese to belong to, could play a role in "saving" everyone / regular not batshit crazy vamps like Bill.[/spoiler]
