Roll out!

Fate has yielded its reward: a new world to call home. We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting, protecting. I have witnessed their capacity for courage, and though we are worlds apart, like us, there's more to them than meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars: we are here, we are waiting.


That's right...Transformers comes out on DVD today, doesn't it?


Yes it does, my friend. Yes it does. And even though I will be making that purchase this evening, there may or may not be a screening at the Jeremy Megaplex 1 tonight. I have yet to decide.


But I don't think it was REALLY that good of a movie.


That's very true. The plot was thin and Shia LeBeouf may be the single most annoying actor since Pauly Shore (I just made a second Pauly Shore reference in the Blag. I need to go lay down), but it was a lot of fun. I mean, really....Starscream was an F-22 for cryin' out loud! That's good stuff. Also...it's Transformers!!!


Alright, alright....you're still a jerk.


Is that because of the video I posted yesterday?


Yes. You hurt Willie. His ears bled.


I'm sorry. Let me make it up to you with a rare double-shot of Letters to the Editor from the Erie Times-News. Today includes a long-time favourite of the Letter-reading crowd, but makes its first appearance on the Blag. It's a feature we like to call "Non-Sequitur Theatre." The second letter is just brilliant. Enjoy!

Yeah buuuuuddy

Put your hands in the air like you won a big prize. Bop yourself on the head and cross your eyes...yeah Schmëerskåhøvên!

Uhmmm...okay...

Today's Status comes to you courtesy of Pinky and the Brain. In one episode, an evil mastermind developed a complex series of movements that would render somebody stupid, enabling the mastermind to take over the world. These movements were turned into a dance by Swedish Supergroup BAAB in a song strangely reminiscent of the Macarena called Schmëerskåhøvên. I'm assuming the word actually means nothing and was developed simply to have as many special characters as possible, but I can't be bothered to look it up. By the climax of the episode, the only way to tell if somebody had been dumbed down by the dance was if they enoyed the comedy stylings of Pauly Shore. This is likely the last reference to Pauly Shore in this blag.

I was also fairly curious how well the word Schmëerskåhøvên would translate into Sametime...turns out, quite well.
