Have a Good Weekend Kooks….

Vodpod videos no longer available.

So I’m out town effective last night when I hit save and told Ned to hold this puppy back.  I’m off the grid until Thursday as I’m down in Florida enjoying weather better then yours right now.  Yeah I’m enjoying myself right now.  So I’ll see you next week and until then I leave you in the more then capable hands of Ned and Scotty.

Forget Lady Gaga, the real weirdos come from Sweden

If all acceptance speeches were like this, award shows wouldn’t suck:

This clip is from a Swedish award show where Fever Ray (Karin Dreijer Andersson) won an award for something that probably sounds like an end table from Ikea. Man alive, this chick makes Lady Gaga look like Debbie Gibson circa 1986. The Nordic region is most surely part of another galaxy.

On a side note, the Fever Ray album was honestly one of the best of 2009. You know, if you like scary minimalist electro Swedish tunes.

President Obama coming to Nashua to do some tax free shopping

Obama, my favorite current president, is coming to Nashua this Tuesday. If I were you, I would refrain from going to Best Buy on that day. You know he is in town just to swoop up a tax free flat screen.

When driving a lumber truck isn’t challenging enough

Lowell Sun

LOWELL — A lumber truck driver from Tyngsboro choked on a small chili from Wendy’s, lost consciousness, and crashed into a Lowell home Friday morning.

I would think that driving a lumber truck around the streets of Centralville would be tough enough.  But to throw in the added obstacle of eating while driving?  That is a skill to have.  And judging by the picture of the lumber truck inside a person’s house, I would say that this was a skill the driver did in fact not have.

Jersey Shore’s Second Cast

Chris Matthews is Awesome.

Forget the Jelly of the Month club- Chris Matthews is the gift that just keeps on giving the whole year through…

Mr. Tingle up his leg really makes it easy to make fun of him. 

Harry Reid couldn’t be reached for comment- he was napping.

Oh wait that’s Janet Incompitano- what a handsome man she is huh?  That’s Harry Reid below.  Look at it this way Harry- you can nap all you want after Election Day in November cause you’ll be out of a job.  You’re polling lower then SARS right now.

The Spaghettiville Bridges, Our “Golden Gate” (DUELING COMMENTARY)

 

Lowell Sun

LOWELL — Some of the people stuck in traffic on Gorham Street yesterday morning could probably guess what happened before they even saw it — yet another a tractor-trailer truck got stuck under the Spaghettiville Bridge.

This time it happened about 6:50 a.m. 

The truck, driven by Pol Dy, 37, of Cabot, Pa., was inbound on Gorham Street with a load of paper when it got wedged under the low-clearance bridge.

The driver told police GPS had told him to take that route.

Ned’s Take:  I once recall a friend of mine poetically telling me that “Life is just a big race to South Lowell.”  If this is true, then those sphatghettiville bridges are our gates of heaven…and if Pol Dy can’t get in with his truckload of paper, what hope do the rest of us have?

Looking at the bright side however, it’s nice to know that when my time comes, my Tom Tom will be able plot a reasonable route to my final resting place.

Scott’s Take: The Spaghettiville Bridge – the superhero of bridges….The mighty Spaghettiville bridge has claimed another victim.   Don’t truck drivers know that if you are going to take on this bridge, you better be bringing some Optimus Prime shit?  What I want to know is, what the hell is this bridge made of?  Some sort of thick steel plucked from the depths of planet Krypton?  This is like the 20th truck to get stuck under the bridge and it doesn’t even have a dent.   Some rust and a sad faded Prince Spaghettiville sign, sure.  But dents?

First rule about Fight Club….

(john and eduardo fighting (at) lowell high posted by trecepo)  (get it 3-C-P-O)

is don’t let Erin Smith know about Fight Club.  Someone I know in Dracut told me “You better hope they don’t the Sun doesn’t let Erin Smith near Lowell, she find out about everything…”  well hello Erin Smith.  By the way I like knowing whats going on in the city I live in warts and all.  I’m a realist like that.  Plus it gives us more material for missives like this. 

But she buried the lead-

The fight started after the victim — also a 15-year-old girl at Wang Middle School — was confronted by a group of classmates outside Pollard Memorial Library on Dec. 22,….

The prosecution rests your honor.  15 years old?  In MIDDLE school?  Do not pass go, do not collect $200.
