What do you get when you combine the following?

Huge music/film/literary/performance art/dance/comedy/visual art lineup; extreme crowds; beer-guzzling morons; emo kids; anorexic goth chicks; clueless out-of-towners; deadheads that fell off the tour circuit in Seattle ca. 1973; old hippies; scores of effete snobs in one or more areas of the arts; at least a handful of guys/gals who are still at Woodstock/Monterey/Isle of Wight in their minds, keeping an eye out for Jimi Hendrix and Joanie Mitchell; arsty fartsies; a fantastic array of 20-somethings who made very bad tattoo decisions; some of the worst fashion choices you will ever see, anywhere; an eclectic variety of foods that will induce a three day purge-on-the-pot if you’re not careful; pale, wan vegan lesbians who are secretly bleeding to death under their hemp frocks; more dreadlocks than in the entire nation of Trinidad and Tobago; beings who are probably from this planet but could easily double as alien life forms; yuppies; yippies; mainstream families with strollers; pregnant soccer moms; enough Rockstar energy drink to get the entire population of Manhattan twitchy; a whole bunch of hip-hopsters, and - last but not least - a handful of pickpockets. All of it painted a metaphorical technicolor green under the bluest skies that Perry Como ever saw, in one of the rainiest cities in North America.

Seriously, though. If you’re thinking about going, The Stranger’s guide is better than Bumbershoot’s own, IMHO.

Addendum: Forgot to add one item to the list above: Assholes who think it’s cool to throw shit at the performer, from crayons to beer bottles.

To be fair, it’s a documentary about BOYS from MarouBRA in Australia. But really? And to drive the point home, they use a boy with massive pectories… mammorals… boobs.

3 Year Old recites the Return of the Jedi crawl.

WE ARE INTERNET KINGS!!

P.S. She’s not as cute as our 3 Year Old

Well, the losers and chuckleheads are out in force. According to this Smoking Gun article, this well bred gentleman was stealing Dark Knight merchandise from a theater when he was caught.
Y’know, why do a bunch of choads and dickholes always have to ruin something cool? It’s as if nothing can be pure and awesome these days. People have to imitate it, and therefore water it down so it’s something less great than it was.

Jackass.

Not so funny NOW, huh Spence?

I’d like to make a pencil disappear on him.

Most of you Fingers should know by now this makes me bonery:

Only 114 more days…that’s November 21 for you non-HP nerds.

NB…the young Tom Riddle is being played by Hero Fiennes-Tiffin, the 10 year old nephew of Voldy himself, Ralph Fiennes.

So FullerFinger recommended this. I’ve seen it teased, but hadn’t watched the actual trailer until just now.

It’s a trailer for Oliver Stone’s upcoming movie, “W,” which focuses on George W Bush and apparently his party days. Bush is played by Josh Brolin. Let’s see some career highlights here…

JOSH BROLIN
Goonies
No Country for Old Men
W

OLIVER STONE
Any Given Sunday
World Trade Center
Alexander

Hmmm. This could really go either way.

How have I never seen this? Thanks to CRFinger for the tip.

Apparently, this is some sort of internet meme that passed Thumb by.

Here’s a good remix. No Country for Old Gregg.

Here’s one that at least deserves honorable mention in the “most revolting scenes in 20th century cinema” category. I suppose the surreal twist lessens the impact, though, taking it out of the real world. Still, the analogy to pearl diving is….interesting.
