The Rhyming Song

I’ve been looking for this for a very long time, and I have finally found it. A famed Sesame Street song made hilarious by how far the lead “singer” runs in as he bursts forth with rhyming madness. I hope you enjoy it as much as I.

El Niño II – The Wrath of the Niño

Apparently, El Niño has formed once again and will last into 2007. Honest, you can read all about it. Apparently, this weather phenomenon occurs from time to time, although the last time, in 1997-1998, was quite severe. That’s the first time I ever remember hearing anything about El Niño.

In any case, I found this after having seen it only once when it aired live. I find it to be outlandishly humorous, and thus, I present to you Chris Farley as El Niño.

Science Friction

I’ve always been a fan of science fiction. I remember growing up to the original Star Trek episodes, monster magazines, and old sci-fi movies. I still love them all, and generally, the older and cheesier the better. It goes without saying that when the Sci-fi channel was introduced I was ecstatic. I would be able to watch all those old television series and movies to my heart’s content.

Only different.

It seemed to start out okay, although I admit they were able to find old television shows that were so bad not even I could stomach them. But still, it was fine. I was willing to take the unwatchable as long as occassionally I could tune into “Lost in Space”, “The Incredible Hulk”, or a some Godzilla or Gamara movie.

Then they started in with a whole bunch of very, very bad original programming. Don’t get me wrong, they have on occassion hit on a good one (their remake/rework of Battlestar Galactica, for instance, is superb,) but most was to be completely avoided. I won’t get into Mansquito.

But now, they’ve hit bottom. I don’t even think I can go into how ridiculous it is for the Sci-fi channel to jump headlong into such misplaced programming. I’ll just let you see for yourself. Science fiction, where have you gone?
