Res Ipsa Loquitur

Five years ago (tomorrow as of this posting) marks the 5th anniversary of the day Dr. Hunter S. Thompson took his own life. Much has been said about that event and all those the things which surround that day.

Whatever you take is on the good Doctor. One thing is certain, he did leave an indelible mark on the literary world through his larger than life persona and all he wrote about.

I can't and won't expand on Thompson as I could do him no justice, at least none he would be pleased with, so I leave it with the following video. Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride.

Stay Tuned...

Dolph Lundgren

After seeing what I am about to share with you here, I have to admit, I was torn. The first thought that came to mind was Dolph Lundgren is a tool. An ass kicking tool, mind you, but a tool nonetheless. Then again, taking in the context of what this video actually is, from Swedish TV, you have to marvel at the entertainment value. In fact, one thought that comes to mind is Mel Brooks' monster from Young Frankenstein (brilliantly played by Peter Boyle), specifically the Puttin' on the Ritz number.

Now, you are going to have to be a bit patient with the beginning of this video, it being in Swedish and all. But I promise there lies within this video some of the best entertainment the internet and Swedish TV can provide.

There is something in here for everyone. From Elvis, to dancing go-go girls, to an ass kicking demonstration and some fairly competent work on the drums.

The only thing missing, is his display of brains. After all, the man does hold a masters degree in chemical engineering. With a reported IQ of 160, you have to wonder what is going through the man's mind here. Then again, maybe not.

Sit back and bask in the glory that is the "talent" that is Dolph Lundgren...




If only I could be this entertaining.
