I’ve got a message for you. I, MC Spanky McGee, hereby endorse:

Takeru Kobayashi for President. May his huskiness guide our great nation.

Apparently, some of our candidates are not up to the task.

Pumpkin was doing some research on the internet for another Trumpet Blast and stumbled across a pretty awesome thread in a bulletin board on MusicBanter.com called “The Crap Album Cover World Cup” and I had to share it with The Trump. It starts off with a GEM and keeps going from there. The album cover above was picked STRICTLY because of the twin-huskyness of the Amason Twins.

Within that thread I found a link to another collection of similar images at the Museum of Bad Album Covers that has tons of heavy-metal and other craptastic record covers. Then I tried to research those Husky Twins from above their and found one of the strangest websites ever that has me feeling different about myself. It is called purgatorio.com and their tagline is “a panoply of evangelical eccentricities, un-orthodox oddities & christian cultural curiosities”. From what I gather it is a bunch of weird racist church related pictures. Worth a few seconds of your time to click on it.

Amazing how I just did a ‘6 degrees of Kevin Bacon’ that connected crossdressing men on album covers to a polka mass.

The Feed by G4tv recently featured a post as a Nugget From the Net on a site called sleeveface.com that features people holding up album covers in such a way that gives off the illusion that the album is part of the resulting photograph. The picture above shows the Pantera album cover of a man getting punched in the face and the user filled in for that body… you should get the idea. It’s a pretty cool idea and the ones they have over there so far are pretty well done. The Trumpet will be keeping up on this site and bringing some of their best back here to share.

In case you can’t remember, The Hunt for Red October is fucking awesome. It’s been playing on AMC lately.

Why is it so awesome, you ask?

To keep it short, it is for the simple reason that the Russian sub captain, Marko Ramius, has had enough of the USSR’s bullshit and he’s ready to float his ass into NYC and maybe go to Montana. And he’s bringing that glorious warship with him. If you’re going to defect, that’s the fucking way to do it. The only way to one-up would be to do it with a fucking aircraft carrier… Honk the horn as you park that bitch next to the Statue of Liberty: “BUH BUH BITCHES!”

What else is cool is that he tricks his crew into bailing out from the sub. Ramius (with Russian accent): “Sorry, guys, I know your feeble minds cannot comprehend sweeeeeet nature of American girls at American dance club, so get the fuck off my boat….” And off they go on their little rafts, probably to be deported back to the old USSR.

You don’t hear of movies with American captains defecting. It should be obvious as to why. But in case you forgot, it’s because WE’RE FUCKING AWESOME.

Bro Taguchi adds:

Don’t forget the audacity of the entire plot: I’m [Ramius] such a badass that there’s some credulous little punk in the bowels of a CIA office with no windows studying my every move like he’s following a true champion…which he is. I’ll just wait for him to come bail us out when we get stuck…the “buckaroo”

Check this movie out–again–when you have a chance.

Thanks, FEMA.

Apparently FEMA thought they had been too passive during Katrina, so they thought they would become active and provide carcinogenic formaldehyde-laced trailers to these people. What’s FEMA’s next trick, to pin the victims to a giant tray and let some high schoolers slice and dice em’?

The kicker, of fucking course, is that they lied about about the risks of the formaldehyde.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency manipulated scientific research to play down the danger posed by formaldehyde in trailers issued to hurricane victims, according to an investigation by congressional Democrats.”

Yes, the nightmare of Katrina continues, unfortunately. Arrrghhhh.
