Welcome To The NEW South

A blast from the past:



Babs and I were reminiscing this past weekend...

(It wasn't originally that grainy - you can thank YouTube for that one...)

I still remember the feeling I had watching this air for the first time during RAW...

Found Porn?

Ummm... I just don't know what to say...

Call me a pervert... call me a deviant... whatever...

Does anybody else see what I see?

This Fucking Sucks

A bet is a bet:

(Verse)
Miami has the Dolphins,
The greatest football team!
We take the ball from goal to goal,
Like no one's ever seen!
We're in the air,
We're on the ground,
We're always in control.
So when you say Miami,
You're talking Super Bowl!

(Chorus 1)
Cause we're the Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins Number 1.

(Chorus 2)
Yes we're the Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins Number 1.

(Repeat)

Stupid fucking Dolphins...

Revenge?

Or maybe Redemption?

Either way you look at it, today is a HUGE day for me.

As many of you know, I'm a die-hard Chicago Bears fan. As such, I'm currently in the midst of a 21-year grudge against the Miami Dolphins. Why, you ask?

Well, back in 1985, the Bears - then known as "The Monsters of the Midway," - led by Jim McMahon, "Sweetness" Walter Payton, and the toughest Defense ever to play the game - were having their best season - EVER. They were undefeated, and knocking out teams, left and right. There was no stopping Chicago. Then, one fateful Monday night - December 2, 1985 to be exact - on national TV, the Bears were set up to play against the team that had the only undefeated season in history - The Miami Dolphins - a team that had to defend that record.

I won't get into details on the horror that happened that night - let's just say the end result did not favor Da Bears.

Fucking Dan Marino.

Ever since then, not only have I been the Bears fan that I was, but it was one of goals, as a sports fan, to hate the Dolphins - forever! In fact, it's well known by my friends that my three favorite football teams are Da Bears, and whoever is playing the Dolphins and Packers.

So, here we are today. The Bears are facing the Dolphins, in Chicago. Guess what? The Bears are UNDEFEATED!

I've agreed with my friends that if the Bears win today (they are the 13½ point favorites), I will alleviate my grudge against the Dolphins. I can't say that I'll like the Dolphins - I just won't hate on them so much. In turn, if the Dolphins win, it'll only get worse. (And, God forbid the Fins win, I'll put the "Dolphin Fight Song" up here on the site.)

Anyways, if you care for more info on the game, or just want to know more about Da Bears in general, click here:

G.O.W. (Remix)

So normally I'd leave the vid game posts to Babylon or Big Irish, but this is actually more of a music post, so I'll stake my claim.

Next week, Microsoft and Epic Games introduce the world to Gears Of War - a futuristic, "teamwork oriented, third person shooter from Epic utilizing the latest in Unreal technology." (from 1Up.com)

At a recent showing of Saw III (go see Borat instead!) with Babylon and JKaye, I had the pleasure of seeing the trailer for this game on the big screen, and it was, for lack of a better term, "bad-ass!" The best part for me, of course, was the use of the Michael Andrews/Gary Jules cover of Tears For Fears' "Mad World," from the Donnie Darko soundtrack... You knew something this cool couldn't go long without being bastardized...

Thankfully, the bastardization is still early, and thus, not annoying or horrible yet. The creative youth of America has taken the video from the trailer and remixed it with their favorite songs...

First, here's the original trailer (originally seen by most of you on DavidBabylon.com):



And now, a few of the remixes:

(By far, my favorite: An extended version, set to "One," by Metallica.)


(Never have the words to Eddy Grant's "Electric Avenue" sounded more apt.)


(Certainly the goofiest: "Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats)


(The M.J. Special: "Listen to the first verse...")

Enjoy!
