Is this blog dead?

Maybe it just needs a healthy dose of vegan mac 'n cheese.  

So here's my favorite recipe!

Eat well, and be well.

Cotton Candy

Free the Hops!

Tha bill passed.

The Reverend Mayor Billy?

Sweet, ahm beatin tha New York residents ta this newsflash!

We all know and love Reverend Billy of the Church of Stop Shopping - and now he's makin a bid fer Mayor of New York! It's real --> The New York Times Says So! He's being backed by the Green Party and everything!

Check out the Rev Billy for Mayor website here and get ready for a heated political battle. Allelujah! (i can't believe i was raised Catholic n can't remembah how ta spell that word).

Cheesey Bready Goodness

BE JEALOUS!



Or keep an eye out for some non-West Coast or Austin competitions (is anyone on this from Austin?)

Missive from the First Dog

did you know that dogs dream of being olympic swimmers and pro golfers? check this latest asinine missive from our lame-duck presidential family - the LAST "Barney Christmas Video"! sent to me by a colleague with the subject "because i think any one of us could do a lot better than this pathetic video."

Take My Quiz - and Hate on Another!

I wrote a quiz on Hello Quizzy and entered in their "The 80s" contest. Not only was writing the test a lot of fun, but I'm actually in 2nd place in both categories (quality and amount of test takers). Usually I don't get all that competitive, but the test that is beating me in quality SUCKS! It's a 16 Candles Trivia test, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the writer doesn't even score your results. I've spent 7 hours or so on making mine as good as possible, and this loser took 80 minutes and then stopped short.

SO! HELP ME WIN!
Take my quiz - What Kind of 80s Metal Are You? and give it a rating!

Then, take the other quiz - 16 Candles Trivia and when you realize it sucks, give it a rating!

And let me know what kind of heavy metal you are - the results still need some tweaking ah think.

Godspeed!

video roundup party

ok ya'll so since the video below is sadly gone, and I'm home sick, i'll share a few vids that have tickled my funny lately.

if you haven't seen this magically delicious music video from LA's king of flowing blonde hair Chris Dane Owens about his epic battle for love, you need to watch it now. I'm pretty sure the Tree from Big Fish makes a cameo along with the bad girl from a yet to be released indie film (shes one of the witches), there could also well be some footage ripped from Lord Of the Rings, & an homage to Pricess Bride or any number of other romantic sci fi adventures. Did he make this to get slathered all over satire sites? Love has Enemies!

80s punk pioneers Bad Brains have been touring intermittently again and crazy crazy lovable weird frontman HR is interviewing himself for something called The Spinner's 'on the DL.' it is awesome. Find out just why he's so crazy-crazy and all about if he's punk or reggae.

Finally, check out Food Party, which is a nutty puppet cooking show filmed in some chick's apartment in the depths Brooklyn. maybe i'm delerious but the Yoko Oh-No bit in episode 3 had me laughing my ass off. her food blog on the same site is pretty cool too, but with not actual recipies. enjoy!

me, im off to sleep on the couch and dream some weirdo suusi dream about some bitch running over my foot because i was driving (a shopping cart?) without shoes on.

It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake - Restored Link!

This has been making its rounds on Internet in the last week.

More cute baby animals!

OK, someone just sent me this and I knew it had to come straight to BG.

Puppies!!!

Monkey and Baby Tigers

We all like animals here at tha BG, so here's a video ah broke my companies "no-streaming-anything" policy ta check out. Florida chimp adopts two baby male white tigers. The cuteness will strangle you.

Check it here on yahoo.

Great Costumes

I work for a mom and pop Internet cafe so I will be working on Halloween this year while they take their kids out. I'm sure three will be a tonnes of Palin costumes.

Here are a couple costumes I've enjoyed seeing on Internet.

Pedo bear and lolli:


Big Daddy and Little Sister:

Halloween fun

It doesn't seem like I can load this scene like a you-tube, because it isn't actually a video but an interactive cartoon. So go to our favorite ice cream guys' website for some Halloween fun. And while yer at it, bring me a pint of Cherry Garcia, and maybe one of Imagine Whirled Peace....

where is everyone?

Hello? have you lost hope? are you in breakdancing godzilla withdrawal? and, most importantly, what's your halloween costume, and where the party at?
i expect a full report from everyone. please also vote in my HI-LARIOUS poll. love, the bg.

Bansky NYC fieldtrip

from the NY Times:

Melena Ryzik writes:

On Wednesday a piece by Banksy, a pseudonymous, secretive British artist, was unveiled at 89 Seventh Avenue South (near Bleecker Street) in Greenwich Village. The installation was a mock pet supply shop, filled with animatronic creatures like a rhesus monkey and would-be creatures like fish sticks swimming in a tank. The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill, as the green awning reads, will be open to the public daily through Oct. 31.
