I know it's been a while, but I've got two new "gems" for you. I literally don't have the words (nor the time) to explain the first video. I saw a clip from Good Morning America or some show like that with this guy in it.
** the whole video is pretty awesome but take particular note of the extreme "coolness" at the 1:37 mark **
Is that an awkward silence I hear????
On to the next one!
By now, I'm sure you've seen the ShamWow commercial with Vince. (yes, the same guy who recently was arrested for beating up a hooker, yada yada yada -- it was all over the news for like a day). Well, apparently he has another commercial for the "Slap Chop." Here's a little twist to the normally boring infomercial. (By, the way I bet the Snuggie would have sold twice as well if they'd done this for their commercial!)
Well, I don't guess you HAVE to love sports to appreciate the following videos but it kind of helps if you know who the people are in them. Anyways, I stumbled on to these gems of witty, comedic excellence by accident. They are done by legendary Sportscenter announcer Kenny Mayne, who in my opinion, is probably one of the best they've ever had. Ladies, this post may be appreciated more by your husbands so I apologize. I need to balance out my last post which included a recipe...I apologize to all the guys for that one.
(Ladies, if you share my sense of humor then you may think these are funny too)
My brain works in totally random ways. I can have some pretty crazy "streams of consciousness." Anyways, the other night I got sidetracked from my original internet quest as usual and ended up re-familiarizing myself with good ol' Milli Vanilli. A long story short: 2 guys met, wanted to start a group, met a producer who liked other peoples voices better, got them to lip-synch and dance in spandex with long hair...people found out it wasn't them (track skipped at a live performance), got mad, they were disgraced, went into obscurity where one of the guys (Rob Pilatus) took it really badly, ended up dying from drugs and alcholism, the other guy (Fab Morvan) continued on with music/acting/art. Whew, that was alot. Ok, so basically I just like the songs b/c it brings back a little nostalgia. I could care less if they actually sang or not! It should also be noted that when I told my wife, Jamie, about this post she didn't really know who Milli Vanilli was and couldn't name one of their songs! Seriously!?!? Now I not only view this blog as entertaining, but educational.
Here you go: Rob (left) Fab (right)
Videos anyone?!?!?
So here's the second part to my random post. There's no good segueway to this one so I'll just put it out there...CHOCOLATE GRAVY! Ever had it? It's definitely not something you should eat every day (especially after you see what's in it) but man it's good. My friend's mom used to make it when we'd come over. She recently joined Facebook and some friends and I noticed the "special sauce" in the background of one of her pictures. All it took was a little pleasant persistance and she divulged the secret recipe. If anyone actually reads this blog, it's at least worth trying once. So here's the recipe (copied straight from her Facebook status!):
Chocolate Gravy-- 3 T All Purpose Flour add 1 Cup Sugar add 3T Cocoa (stir real well...no lumps) ... add 2 Cups Milk ( 1 Cup at a time...Mix Thoroughly with each cup) slowly cook this in a heavy skillet stirring constantly ..until it bubbles .. take off heat and add 2 T butter and let it melt ..stir it in the gravy....spoon it over homemade biscuits.
