when it comes to redneck humor, you would typically look no further than the almost-too-classic Beverly Hillbillies. but back in 1983, magic happened when the cast and crew of “Last Night at the Alamo” gathered in the gutter of hollywood to bring deep texas alive.

the setting is 1980’s houston, in a run-down outskirts bar and a cast of colorful locals that fill it.

The only pic i could find

the most important feature of the entire film has to be the hilarious doom that surrounds the scene from the beginning. the lonely music and the black & white film prepare the satire. you know full well that the characters are all born losers, and it’s a blessing that it’s the last night at this bar.

the relentlessly realistic cursing, the comfortability between barflys: both brilliant devices to make the movie feel clearer than most.

ignore this:“I sit here contending with this cheese on toast”

this movie includes: Cowboy, Lionel, Claude, Ichabod, Steve, Hector - 6 of the finest, freshest characters in Texas history.

seriously, when can you think of another Texas movie? these guys win by default.

so yeah, if you’ve never heard of this movie before, you’re a lucky chump, cause you have now. So go buy it or rent it or download it (er, assuming you just bought it).

Judge orders couple not to have children

booyakasha. banning specific reproduction one of my favorite legal tricks.

but it’s weird, i guess the court is paying for their sterilizations if they choose to accept them. i guess the tax i paid on my car tags is going to a good cause though. there’s a special comfort knowing it’s going towards tying a dude’s wires.

Andre 3000’s bizarre alter-ego “Johnny Vulture” to be have own show on Adult Swim

andre 3k’s swollen ego has been making the point of establishing the concept of ghettoflash retro…wait…ok someone in my office just said “he died?!?” really surprised…anyway, establishing it just for the purpose of elminating it from happening again in such a manner. he’s trying to rid the blessed future earth of terrible, goofy style. until the cycle repeats again.

Guy fills up car with wrong gas; tries to vacuum it out; does £1,000 of damage

this is why i love the germans. most of the time, they’re quirky and drunk, and are the best example of real-life dry humor other than the albanians. what WHAT

seeing as it’s coming up on the 3rd weekend of May, it’s time we all started to do a little more barbequeing.

the weather’s probably nice where you are, i’m sure you have friends, and are willing to have fun.

here’s a step-by-step process of how to have a kickin bbq:

Purchase a grill or grill-like substance:
Consumer Reports Grillinfo - Ace Hardware - Costco - Lowe’s - Sears - Yahoo Shopping - BBQ in the UK

For starters:
-Grilling HQ @ epicurious.com

-Converse with other BBQ people

-Tales of urban grilling

-Barbecue books at B&N

What to burn:
-Tons of recipes (like you need any more)

-Get fresh, frozen BBQ shipped anywhere

-Montgomery Inn. nuff said.

What to wear:
-Minimalist/Sarcastic aprons

-Classy/Cheap aprons

-Psychotic BBQ apron family

For the amateurs:
-Martha Stewart Grilling Recipes & Etiquette

that’s pretty much all you should need, except for some sweet BBQin’ music. i personally recommend something upbeat, perhaps with a splash of reggae. remember, the first rule of BBQ music is “the looser the beat, the sweeter the meat”

also, if applicable, be sure to set a kid’s table. BBQ can be messy and obnoxious, so the quarantine method may be necessary.

Good luck and be sure to lick your fingers before answering your cell phone.
