QOTSA Wants to Make it Witchu…Makin’ Out on V-Day

That douche bag Josh Homme is up to no good again. Queens of the Stone Age has sponsored a YouTube make-out contest. To enter, you gotta submit a YouTube vid of someone (presumably yourself and your honey) making out to the QOTSA song “I Wanna Make it Wit Chu.” (great song, love the PJ Harvey version on Desert Sessions Vol. 9 & 10)

This is brilliant. Rather than fall prey to that Russell Stover commercial that says your lady’s “gotta get the choccolate” or else you’ll be in big trouble, give her something better…jump her bones like you’re both 17 and make sure you got the song on…oh yeah, and videotape that shit for full romantic effect.kiss.jpg

(yes…those are prairie dogs)

For the record, Spanky and I are huge QOTSA fans…but Josh IS a douche bag (and we love him for it).

For more, see the contest site (as of this post, there were no vids up):

Compton Rapper Game Going To Prison on Felony Gun Charge

Rapper Game in Jail Cell

On Monday, Compton rapper The Game, pleaded no contest to a felony gun charge and was sentenced to 60 days in a Los Angeles prison, 3 years of probation, and 150 hours of community service.  The gun charge stems from an incident last February when Game (also known as Jayceon Taylor) allegedly pulled out a gun during a pick-up basketball game in a park, also considered part of a school zone.

The Game has been known to be rough like the streets of Compton he came from or the tattoos that cover his body and face.  He has had numerous run-ins with the law, lawsuits for just about anything (from WWE trademark infringement to defamation by police officers), and handfuls of public feuds with other rappers.  Jay-Z, Suge Knight, Joe Budden, 50 Cent and G-Unit, and many others are among those that Game has had beef with.  Some of these incidents lead to trading of diss tracks and possibly even a shooting.

As an artist, Game has been considered the strongest West Coast rapper in recent years.  He has gained multiple Grammy nominations, been certified multi-platinum, and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200.  Game was working with producer Dr. Dre and 50 Cent with G-Unit before falling out with them.  He has appeared in the video games Def Jam: Icon and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and the feature film Waist Deep with Tyrese Gibson.  A new album (and possibly his last) by the Game was initially expected this year.

Rockin’ software: HowLong2It

Tinjaw’s program, HowLong2It, is based on an idea that I posted in the DonationCoder.com coding snacks forum. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I deserve praise–Tinjaw is the person who rocked it out.

Anyway, I didn’t think that making a text file with notepad was efficient to keep track of important events, and I didn’t like marking events on Outlook. I think you’re more likely to pay attention to the last time you changed your toothbrush if you can see some hard scientific data on how many days it has been. I know you’re not motivated by the fact that your toothbrush’s head is starting to resemble Don King or Afro Ninja‘s dome. You need numbers.

With HowLong2It, you can keep track of the last time you:

  • got laid
  • took a shower
  • ate a McRib sandwich (it’s seasonal)
  • saw Labyrinth
  • read “Reader’s Digest.”
  • listened to “MMMBOP”
  • played River City Ransom
  • changed your oil
  • got a double kill in Halo 3 (it’s been a while for ol’ Spanks here)

You can set up HowLong2It so that it starts up with Windows, and it will run in the tray next to your clock. Left click on its icon to see how many days since or until the occurrence of an event.

Right click on the icon to restore the add/edit/delete menu.

This is an awesome program. The more you use it, the more you will like it.

Spanky’s review of Taco Bell’s Fiesta Platter and Wendy’s premium fish sandwich

1. This last weekend I had Taco Bell’s Fiesta Platter. I had the grilled steak stuft burrito version. The burrito is pretty solid–it’s big enough to get you feeling warm and round. The most surprising positive aspect of this platter is the salsa, which is chunky. I didn’t know Taco Bell could get chunky, since most of their sauces are runny. The only problem was that they didn’t give me enough of it. I don’t like naked tortilla chips. I guess I could have asked the manager for more salsa.

The rice is fairly standard. The beans are topped off with that weird Taco Bell sauce that they put on the enchirito (one of my favorite under-the-radar items at ol’ TB).

Beyond that, the Fiesta Platter is just a new arrangement of old materials. But I’m on to you, Taco Bell. I know that it is the Platter’s big black tray that really hypnotizes us: “WHOA! This platter is flippin’ HUUUUUGE, Kip!” After you are done with your meal, you will marvel at the size of this pontoon boat that held your sloppy ploppy mix.

Overall verdict: you’re better off mixing and matching like you normally do at Taco Bell.

(Below, Master Chief wishes he could fight in a sea of hot sauce in the Fiesta PT boat)

2. Wendy’s “premium” fish sandwich. I don’t see what’s so premium about it. It’s decent, it filled me up, but it’s kinda blah. The fish itself was good and had a uniform taste–there weren’t any weird chunks in it, and it didn’t taste mashed or processed.

If you’re going to try this fish-thingy, you might add some toppings to it, but I don’t really know what you could add to a fish sandwich that would really make it rock. I’d love to see suggestions for pimping your fish sandwich in the comments.
