This is going out for the Dolphiness up in T.O.

May your housekeeping broom swing freely soon.

There's a lot of things that need swept under the rug.

Here's that nasty old Vulcan who tortured Spock when his balls turned from green to blue.

Meow... keep trying.

Here's the boys from Birmingham again, 20 years later:

And it all comes down to you...

Maybe once, maybe twice...

80s night at the Cube should always - ALWAYS! - feature progressive music videos for the masses.

Followed by Yes with their video demonstrating the kindness of caring and compassionate government "helpers" (the nice men in trench-coats and fedoras).

Meow... you're almost there.

In the 1980's everybody learned to fly.
Pantomiming is much harder.

One of the few 80's songs I like... though I do adore the Kim Carnes one above.

OK! OK!

I'll give you progressive Meow!

This has a FIVE MIME rating!

Pupovich!
Sinead?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Should it Chairman? Should it indeed? It was the 80's crowd that let the most progressive, peace loving, carbon footprint free nation ever conceived slip from power because of failure to contain the Reagan. No, the eighties was a dark, depressing decade.

Ahhh! Sinead!!!! AAAHHHHHHHHH! I'M MELTING! MELTING! OH WHAT A WOORRLLL....AHHH.....AAHH!

A little Moody Blues to chase away the Sinead demons Pupovich allowed in.

Tell me lies, Obama! TELL ME LIES! HOPE! CHANGE! GET WHITEY!

Visualize Chris Matthews in this video instead of Madonna and Rev. Jeremiah Wright leading a chorus of Black Panther singers.



In the midnight hour I can feel the Obamessiah's power! Oooh! Tingly sensations are running up my leg, Comrades!

Comrades, not even the Chairman dined on the fine meal that I enjoyed tonight, Hillary with all her henchmen fared poorly as well, for I am sitting here enjoying some People's Crawfish™, lovingly boiled here in the Peoples State of Louisiana.
So in honor of this, I present some truly progressive music as a statement if you will to the collective.

Get the show rolling oh Mighty Pup!



And fresh from the KMRC....

Do we really need another one of these threads?

Do you now doubt the wisdom of the Hero Space Dog Premier?

No, I'm just wondering why a new one was created. Is the old one no longer allowing people to post there?

Now of this, I wondered the same. I suspect it was just that it was such a large thread, 4 or 5 pages in length.

I think it might be one of the biggest threads on this site.

I though a little bit of OT hooliganism won't hurt....

Stop it! Stop it! For the love of Lenin stop it!

Is it just me, or was Bill having a hard time keeping his hands to himself?

Are we going to have Hillary singing next? With 100 children instead of just 40?

No!!! We are going to have a real candidate!

Alice Cooper for Democratic nominee! That's exactly how their constituents imagine the process and the result.

Oh, and get that chimp out of the White House!

If only Alice Cooper were in the White House! Alas, I am afraid that.....

We're not worthy!

We're not worthy!

Friday at Last! Friday at Last! Thank God Almighty it's Friday at Last!

Let's crank it up comrades!

First lets us examine the start of this capitalist imperialist state and witness why all the world hate us!



And to conclude.... our kind of rock! Don't deny it Comrades.... we are watching!

You are all denounced for not listening to progressive warnings about the evil fascist Nazi pigs!

That was awesome and disturbing Premier!

One of the songs in GTA IV. Much better than some of the other stuff I found on the site that had that video. Like this:

Yup. that is pretty lame. You must be on a Hot Pocket break from the games.... haven't seen you much lately.

Yeah, ever since Valve released the new Medic update for TF2, I've been playing that. I never played the medic much before, but now it's turning out to be a lot of fun. Unfortunately a lot of the achievements are really hard and the only way to get them is to "cheat" and work with other players on opposite teams to get them. I don't have many.

Er,,, you do understand I have no idea what you are talking about? LOL

Yeah. But I think you understand most of it.

Valve: Game Developer

Medic: Duh

TF2: Game - Team Fortress 2

Achievements: Do stuff to get an "achievement"

Get enough achievements and you get upgraded weapons.

Premier Betty wrote:Yeah. But I think you understand most of it..

Then you would be in error Premier..... ;lol

Okay, you do stuff in this game. And when you do specific stuff and get achievements for it stuff will unlock giving you new weapons.

And that makes this game different from the other 4.2 million in what way? What happened to the only true Bolshevik competition, Chess?

What's different? Levels, controls, visuals, the art style, the concept of not suck, I can go on. And what is chess but a lame excuse for a primitive version of RTS games like Dawn of War, Halo Wars, or this "Starcraft" I hear so much about?

In the end, they are not different than the one game I did enjoy, the Leisure Suit Larry games.... search for things, find clues, get closer to the award. All you are talking about is the dressing and the technical achievement.

Yes, but the achievements don't allow for "dressing up", but for better weapons so that the player can kill more.

And at least Leisure Suit Larry isn't as bad as this game.

At last! A progressive game! Well done!

You can always expect the Japanese to come up with the most progressive products. Like anime. Anime is very progressive.

[karakter off]

and that's why I f**kin' hate anime with a passion.

[/karakter off]

But they are so much more cuter than your game characters!

Maybe, but let's see them kill 50 scouts with their syringe gun. Oh, that's right, they don't have a syringe gun. Too bad for them.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Mq-XaBmRsg8

Let's see that syringe gun make my.... er... never mind

I... I don't want to know. But I'm sure that there are other syringes that will do that for you happily.

While looking up the Shocking Blue on YouTube I found this weird dykes on bikes clip for Pupovich. The music is distinctly 1969.

4:46-4:51 sold me on the need to start my own motorcycle gang.

Red...

That was awesome! Whoever made than did their homework.


Pinkie...

Come TPWONT their will be enough chains to shackle the planet.

That is a classic movie! But I dispute the notion that they are dykes! No! Clearly you have not read that classic Bible for Men....


For had you read that, you would know that a "real woman need to be man enough to be a Man's woman!" For instance, say the woman wants you to meet her mother who only has a month to live, and you agreed to be there in time for dinner etc, but then you call an hour later and explain to her that you met up with your buds and were drinking a few and playing some pool, and you would be there as soon as the football game on the tv was over, The woman would understand, because she was man enough a woman to understand. Sort of like that. The book even had a scene like from that clip showing "A Real Man's Mother."

What can I say Comrades? This popped up when I went to youtube....one of my favorite groups of all time doing one of my favorite songs of all time, in a great live video. Couldn't wait till Friday...

Ahh....ummm...(smack, kick...mumble) IS THIS TELEPROMPTER WORKING?

It is?

OK

This being my first selection for Friday Retro 80's for SMO, I bring to you my humble selection for my Convention Theme.

The last stanza is a killer.

I think I can do worse, Your Most Mercifulness.

Thank you Chair....ahh...oh....well....umm
Yes I Can Hear you! Person! Right. Chairperson.

OK

Are you all fired up?

Thank you Chairperson Meow.
I will use that on my introduction for my VP pick, Napoleon Dolomite!

Did you get my text message yet?

Testing.....bzzzzzzt......poof!

That singer looks strangely familiar....

Has it been since August?

Well...time flies



This is a special request going out for this year's nominee for Blogger of the Year, Most Politically Correct.

Andrew Ju-wen Wang!
Blog author of "George Bush is The Worst US President Ever"
Nobody has worked harder than Andrew in exposing Bush as Satan, AKA, Lord of The Darkness.
Over 13,800 posts on the internet denouncing Bush.
Gosh, when does he find time to sleep, let alone eat and take a crap?
If only The Party™ worked as hard as Andrew...sigh.

But let's forget that now and Everybody Have Fun Tonight...
Thanks for stopping by.
Take it easy.

My Dear Friend...

I was not only thinking to myself that we were overdue for Retro 80's night but that given certain discussions of late, we were definitely due for some Wang Chung... The only thing that might come close is the Drivers' "Tears On Your Anorak" (which when I get the turntable hooked up to the eMac I will duly load up and send to you... oh... it is better than anything by A Flock of Seagulls)... but today I have been listening to The Stranglers... No More Heroes and The Raven... I've been trying to find a copy of The A's, "Teenage Jerkoff", but they only seem to have songs from their second album, which isn't as good...
.... but what can you do...

At least I found some good 7 seconds... now this brings back memories of slamming... ahhh.. to be young again...


... that and a little DOA or the Dishrags... This was west coast punk and both of them Kanadistanjian bands.... okay... so my politics was a bit more left leaning when I was 15.. hehehh... and the Dishrags were the first Canadian all girl punk band too... I ran away from home to go and see DOA and the Dishrags once... heheheheh...


Then there were the Toronto punks... Teenage Head and The Diodes... I actually have all these albums...
..
I looked for a video of the Diodes covering Red Rubber Ball, cause they do an awesome cover of it but I can't find one...
But then there was the east coast punks... the only all black punk band, The Bad Brains, and they are legends... ...

So not the Cube now... or maybe it is... we were all younger once, and what's that old saying?... If you're not a socialist when you're young, you've got no heart, and if you're still a socialist when you're old you've got no brains...

Truer words...

Anyway, Laika my dear... Thank you. It's been too long since we did the Friday night 80's retro thing and frankly, after this week... fuck it... after this year, I needed it more than ever... Have Kenneth punch up the signal - I'm wearing my tinfoil hat my friend and though I may no longer be able to pogo or slam, I'm tapping my feet and throwing things off the apartment balcony... heheheh...

Well... a little more hardcore than the usual 80's New wave stuff, but hell... Once a punk, always a punk, even if I'm more practical. Why can't a conservative have a mohawk and knee high lace up steel toed black leather shit-kickers, I ask you?...

I'd apologize for loading up so many YouTube embeds, but that wouldn't be very punk of me now, would it?...

Your Sister Massively Opiated.
