I would probably be more effective at remembering actual important things if my brain didn't dedicate so much of its storage capacity to old ad jingles



Dave Barry once called this useless pop culture filling up one's brain, "Brian Sludge" and said he know longer can remember the names of any of he co-workers but knows every second of the brill cream ads from the 50's

This food truck's outfit is slick as hell


I don't know how well you can tell this from my shitty photo, but this food truck in Philadelphia has had the whole side decorated with a tile mosaic.

I don't know what this thing even sells but next time I see it I am buying some just to honor its awesome tile-vertising on the side. 

Actual government issued street sign in philly

Corrected accurately, and presumably by the actual Philly parking authority,  with stickers and duct tape.

I am switching to this bank


Savings advice from sesame street characters?
Holy shit that is awesome!

I write a twitter from the perspective of a llama now


I thought you would want to know this.

Podcast Episode 37

Thor's 37: Elmo and Beyond the Infinite
as always are swanky official site is over at  Hour of Thunder


We discuss more Muppets, Loki's meeting in person with the actual Elmo and his friend Kevin Clash.

This is an episode where we are all in the same room for a change. The folks sitting the room are: Frayja, Baldr, Loki, and of course your humble narrator, Thor.

Heil could not join us for this episode because she had to get down to business and defeat the huns.

NOTE: I, Thor said, "Bert" instead of "Bird" to talk about this Johnny Cash on muppet's sketch.

Its Big Bird that appears in the sketch, though you wouldn't know it from this podcast because I said "Bert" cause I'm bad at things. This causes much confusing at about 10 minutes into the podcasts.

Other than that this podcast makes sense. Well, as much sense as we normally make.

BONUS Strictly Commercials ONLY words and videos:

The Johnny Cash sketch we talked about isn't available for embed, so here are two other times Johnny Cash Showed up and kicked ass on Seasame Street because Johnny Cash is the man. I liked the movie Walk The Line, particularly for the part where they tour with Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis (whoever place Lewis has the best monologue of the 2000's when he talks about why they are all going to hell while he drives to the next gig.)

That said, I wish walk the line had focused a bit more on what made Johnny Cash awesome, instead of as many of the parts were he was being a dick and drugged out of his mind.

What I'm saying is, Like all movies, that movie needed more muppets.
