REPOST

So yeah I dunno what happened but here are the podcast and the zipped file of the songs..... sorry

Episode 3


Zipped files

Hello, my name is Weekend Warriors #6

Due to events which occurred this past week, here is a post about the ultimate prankster.
Learn about Andy Kaufman here.




Andy Kaufman on SNL... HILARIOUS!


Classic Kaufman skit. Imitated frequently but never as good as the originial.


Here is the epitome of Andy's work. The fact that no one knows if he's joking or not is testament to the fact that he is the greatest comedian of all time. Guess the joke's on us.




Man On The Moon

Seth's Review: 5 Stars
erhaps it is because I love, LOVE Andy Kaufman, but I think that this movie is fantastic. Taking cues and staying true to man actual Kaufman happenings, Man on the Moon stays true to the heart of its story while still exposing the audience to Andy's comedy. A movie that pays proper to a comedica great of our time and does so with style; a must see!

My Review: 4 Stars
I went into this movie knowing nothing of Andy Kaufman other than his name. As I watched the social deconstruction and personal genius flow from Jim Carey's accurate portrayal of Kaufman I realized what I had been missing. A new kind of humor that makes more sense to me than any other kind, Andy Kaufman opened my eyes to laughs. This movie is awesome and it is all thanks to the life and times of Andy. Each scene was a better depiction than the last with the finale tying the greatest joke of all time together. For anyone who likes anti-comedy, this is a must see.

Angry, Creepy and Old: Weekend Warriors #5

I'm posting early due to a much needed explanation of why my files no longer work:
FILE DEN SUCKS!
Okay so I am officially ticked off at FileDen. They, for some unknown reason, have suspended my account again. Goodbye files! Whatever, I'm now going to be using zShare (unless someone can suggest a better site). If any of you are just dying to get one of the previous tracks just comment this post or e-mail me at "JoshuaRainwater@Yahoo.com" and I'll put that one up. Sorry for the inconvenience but it won't happen again... at least not without bloodshed.


Anyways, here is episode one again if anyone still wants it.
Episode 1 (Better than "The Phantom Menace" I promise)


Now time to cool off with a funny video.

Wow.... If only my choir was this cool.



Now time to tense back up with a weird one.

ATTENTION ATTENTION!!!
**Before you watch this video be advised. It may freak you out. It is of a girl with a split tongue and vampire teeth. It isn't gross necessarily, just pretty wild. Just thought I'd warn you (i.e. Seth)

November 9-15: Hardly Working On The Podcast

So here is a new idea: I put the songs into a "podcast" and talk over it. Good idea? Bad idea? I know the talking part is a little quiet (or the musik is too loud) BUT I will perfect it for next week. Anyways here you go.


Episode 1 (Better than "The Phantom Menace" I promise"
So here is the full podcast. About 15 min in length with some minor audio level bugs that I need to work out. Anyways, I figured you guys could just pop this in onto your way to school/work/local cafe and enjoy the ride. Let me know how you like it or if I should do anything different. Comments are appreciated.


Pogo - Digitalism
The first song on the podcast, this electric boogieness is enough to keep you nodding your head.


That's What You Get - Paramore
I don't care guys, this song kicks tail. It rocks, I roll, we make musik babies.

Help Is Just Around The Corner - Coldplay
Sweet UK exclusive thanks to Katharine (the most anticipated blog of the year).

I Thought I Saw Your Face Today - She & Him
Still loving this song even after 100+ plays. Thought I'd share it with the world.

Turn Back The Hands Of Time - Tyrone Davis
Classic and respectable, makes you wish you'd written this to your girl.



So I love the "Hardly Working" series on CollegeHumor.com. View them all here. They are hilarious. Watch them all and have a better life. Here are two of what I consider to be some of the best.

Probably the funniest thing I've seen in a long, long time.

In your face and out of control.

Good Halloween Decisions: Weekend Warriors #4

As an update on the last post: Everyone I would have voted for the two retirement-to-stocks amendments but I suppose that one was kind of a gimme with.... well you know..... Rosie O'Donnell and Mountain Dew.

ANYWAYS: Here we go. Weekend Warriors... AH-HO!!!!!

An actual transforming Transformer costume. Kind of almost makes me want to like the movie....? HAHA! Yeah right. 

This one is for you Will. Quack...  QUACK! QUACK! QUACK!
I searched high and low for the best Joker costume. Not only is this one killer but it has the best Two-Face costume of Halloween 2008. Way to go guys.
Yes, at least somebody remembered the classic.
Okay, so in case you can't recognize this one, it's the Powerloader from Alien. Super original and actually cool since he isn't 35, single and it's actually Halloween-time.
Humorous and original.

Now to make us feel like we're smart, here is a video of people being idiots. 

I don't understand the point of this video nor do I even have any emotion about it besides that fact that I am astounded at how ridiculously "different" it is.

Selection Day

So I was going to have an elaborate election post bashing and hating on all those who weren't going to vote until I myself decided not to vote. I feel as if I regret this BUT it is an experiment: I will now post who I WOULD be voting for below we shall see if my vote even counts. Okay a few facts, I'm Libertarian and I live in South Carolina. Here we go:

U.S. Senate
Bob Conley (D)

U.S. House of Representatives District 6
Nancy Harrelson (R)

President and Vice President
Bob Barr and Wayne A Root (L)

Amendment No. 1
Must Section 33, Article III of the Constitution of this State be amended so as to delete the provision that no unmarried woman shall legally consent to sexual intercourse who shall not have attained the age of fourteen years?
Explanation:
This amendment deletes the section of the Constitution which says an unmarried woman must be fourteen years old or older in order to consent to sexual intercourse. Deleting this section would allow the state Legislature to set the age of consent. Currently, the state legislature has the age of consent set at sixteen for most cases. A "yes" vote would delete the section from the Constitution and let the state Legislature set the age of consent. A "no" vote would leave the section of the Constitution in place.

Vote: No

Amendment No. 2
Must Section 16, Article X of the Constitution of this State relating to benefits and funding of public employee pension plans in this State and the investments allowed for funds of the various state-operated retirement systems be amended so as to provide that the funds of any trust fund established by law for the funding of post-employment benefits for state employees and public school teachers may be invested and reinvested in equity securities subject to the same limitations on such investments applicable for the funds of the various state-operated retirement systems?
Explanation:
"Post-employment benefits" are benefits, mainly health insurance, provided to eligible state government and school district retirees. To comply with a change in accounting standards, the state has created trust funds to pay for these post-employment benefits. This amendment relates to how the money in these trust funds may be invested. A "yes" vote would give the state government the option to invest these funds in equity securities (stocks). A "no" vote would mean that state government is not allowed to invest these funds in any kind of equity securities (stocks).

Vote: No



Amendment No. 3
Must Section 16, Article X of the Constitution of this State relating to benefits and funding of public employee pension plans in this State and the investments allowed for funds of the various state-operated retirement systems be amended so as to provide that the funds of any political subdivision of this State that have been set aside for the funding of post-employment benefits for the political subdivision's employees, including those invested in independent trusts established for that purpose, may be invested or reinvested in equity securities of the type permitted for investment by the various state operated retirement systems, as provided for by the General Assembly?
Explanation:
This amendment is the same as Amendment 2 except it applies to local governments' post-employment benefits (instead of the state government's post-employment benefits).

Vote: No

City of Florence Referendum
Shall the South Carolina Department of Revenue be authorized to issue temporary permits in the city of Florence, South Carolina for a period not to exceed twenty-four hours to allow the possession, sale, and consumption of alcoholic liquors by the drink to bona fide nonprofit organizations and business establishments otherwise authorized to be licensed for consumption-on-premises sales?
A "yes" vote would authorize the South Carolina Department of Revenue to issue temporary permits to nonprofit organizations and business establishments, otherwise authorized to be licensed for consumption-on-premises sales, within the City of Florence to allow possession, sale, and consumption of alcoholic liquors by the drink on any day of the week, including Sunday.
A "no" vote would not authorize the South Carolina Department of Revenue to issue temporary permits for consumption-on-premises sales to nonprofit organizations or business establishments within the City of Florence for possession, sale, or consumption of alcoholic liquors by the drink on Sunday.
