Kia Hamsters “Party Rock!”

September 7, 2011

 – – You think that you’re watching a commercial for a Halo-esque video game that you wanna play, and it’s got everything — the robotic warriors are engaged in a ferocious battle in a post-apocalyptic world complete with death lasers and Terminator-type hunter-killer aircraft when up pulls a green Kia Soul out of which emerge three human-size hamsters who compose themselves and then dazzle the combatants with their moves to Electro Hop group LMFAO’s hit Party Rock Anthem.  It’s utterly irresistible, and soon there’s a cease fire in favor of some world-class shufflin’!  We’re even shown a sparking robotic lower body that still has some killer moves in it!

Once again, furries have restored peace and harmony, and a dance fight triumphs over a firefight!  It’s all good, but I missed seeing the golden robot that graces LMFAO’s performances…he is awesome, and likely to be a fave this Halloween!

Bear Seeks Fudge, Gets Creamed…

September 5, 2011

 – – On August 28th in Juneau, Alaska, Brooke Collins let her two dogs out later to hear her dachshund, Fudge, barking.  Investigation revealed that the dog had good reason to bark as a black bear had scooped the wiener dog up, and was biting it on the back of its neck!  This did not bode well for the wiener…

Fearing for her dog’s life, the young woman then decided to deploy five-fingered Mary against the ursine invader, punching the bear on its snout until it relinquished its hold on the pooch.  Her boyfriend then entered the fray, chasing the bear until it disappeared into the bushes.

Ms. Collins said her instincts got a hold of her.  “It was a stupid thing but I couldn’t help it,” she explained.  “I know you’re not supposed to do that but I didn’t want my dog to be killed.”  Fudge survived his ordeal with minor injuries, and a biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game felt that hunger might be driving bears into residential neighborhoods due to a poor berry crop…

Perry Shoots Less-Than-Wily Coyote…

September 3, 2011

 – – Republican presidential aspirant Rick Perry, described by another Texas Republican as being “…like Bush only without the brains,” recently drew attention for reportedly shooting a coyote dead that he felt menaced his daughter’s Labrador while he was jogging on a trail near Austin.

Now Perry claims that he always carries his .380 Ruger handgun in undeveloped areas because he’s afraid of snakes,  and felt that either he or the dog were in imminent danger from the coyote, so the governor plugged him.  It should be noted that the governor was without his security detail at the time, so the incident or the degree of threat posed can’t be substantiated.  Coyotes usually, however, are wary predators that shun human contact, and when some Austin locals protested that Perry’s reaction was excessive and dangerous, Perry shrugged it off.   “Don’t attack my dog,” Perry said, “or you might get shot – if you’re a coyote.”

Dunno about this Perry, but I’d vote for Perry the Platypus…and had the coyote been Wile E., properly supplied and supported by Acme, the incident might have had a very different outcome…

“Cloverfield” Sequel?

September 1, 2011

 – – Whether and when there will be a sequel to the 2008 sci-fi movie Cloverfield is a topic of wild speculation, with no clear answer to either question at present.  I loved the original, although it took several viewings for the film to really grow on me.  Some good movies have had some disappointing or bad sequels, and I would hope that if a sequel is made, it would be worthy of its predecessor without that original essentially being re-made.  Clearly, the “hooks” are there on which a sequel could be mounted, most notably the creature’s apparent survival of even nuclear attack.   Speculations from the fandom have included a film made from the military’s perspective, a prequel, or even a film from the monster’s perspective! 

I am guardedly hopeful that a sequel will eventually be made, although probably not in the near future.   Director Matt Reeves and producer J.J. Abrams have had a variety of other projects, although interest reportedly still exists in eventually returning to the Cloverfield universe…
