    Mr. Biggs Mourns the Death of His Namesake, Ronnie Biggs (RIP)

    unnamed (24)

    Long time ‘bag hunter Mr. Biggs, stalker of the Stokke, writes in with a eulogy for the actual Mr. Biggs, longtime fugitive from the great train robbery, Ronnie Biggs.

    ————–

    Ronnie Biggs was best known for his infamous British train heist in 1963, where he and his gang made off with about $50 million in today’s currency.

    He was caught but managed to escape prison, living out his days as a Brazilian playboy. He was featured in the Sex Pistols’ quasi-documentary “The Great Rock and Roll Swindle”. The Sex Pistols compared their band to a Rock and Roll Heist where, they too, made off with millions.

    Thus, my namesake, (Ronny)Biggs, is an obscure reference dating back to my 90s So-Cal punk days.

    The Guardian has a pretty good obit here.

    And I expect all of you to be familiar with The Great Rock and Roll Swindle. Especially if you’re at all into music or pop culture. Truly a work of genius.

    Ronnie Biggs, you will be missed. I doff my fedora to you, with outstretched index and middle fingers.

    Bowzer Wins the Pear Lottery

    BowzerWinsThePearLottery

    Proving yet again that to score the beach ladies you don’t need a job, a car, or even the ability to form words with more than one syllable. You just need to own various sundry water equipment.

    And by various sundry water equipment, I mean Bowzer’s secret stash of choloform soaked beer cozies.

    Reader Mail: Some people at the beach

    unnamed (1)Reader Kevin works out some issues:

    From: Kevin G.

    Subject: My sister’s douchebag boyfriend

    This guy on the left is a real winner right here, he goes by the name Roach, no joke! He has some half ass tattoo studio and thinks he’s hot shit, HES GOT A FACE FOR RADIO!!!!

    —————

    It pleases me to no end to know that in today’s constantly updating/trending/morphing ephemeral digital culture, the classic “he’s got a face for radio” insult remains a viable insult.

    James Franco Plays a Douchebag in a Movie, Lobbies for an Academy Award

    safe_image

    The circle of self-reflexive performance art douchebaggery is almost complete.

    Hollywood lightweight James Franco is doing his best to lobby for an Academy Award nomination for playing longtime HCwDB nemesis Riff Raff in a movie directed by that kid who wrote Kids.

    A movie so beholden to douche mock, it even featured cameos by the douche twins from Atlanta whose name on the site I have blocked from my conscience.

    I ranted on this once already, so I will spare you my anti-bromides a second time.

    Howver, ironic douchebaggery as performance based on ironic douchebaggery as lifestyle continues to perform the paradoxical stais of life in our funhouse hall of mirrors post-spectacle intertextual media landscape.

    Or, to put it even more succinctly, Menomena.

    Reader Mail: Sara Defends Kevin Hu

    unnamed (13)

    Last week we posted this wonky pic of Kevin Hu rebelling against his parents and hitting on Yoshiko.

    Sara writes in with a Performative Leniency defense:

    ———

    This guy is a break-dancer named Hok- he was on a couple of reality dance shows a few years ago, and now he dances for LMFAO. On the shows he always seemed like a pretty nice guy, not douchey at all- not that dancing for LMFAO is guinine, but I think money in dancing is kinda hard to come by.

    Pretty sure that shit on his arm is actually a spray on for some show (he’s wearing his LMFAO pants).

    He should get a nottadouche pass for a performance clause.

    ———

    Dammit. Hoised on my own Performance Leniency clause.

    Theatricality that may appear douchey is sometimes forgiven if theatricality is called for, that is true. For instance, Gene Simmons is nottadouche when dressed up for Kiss, but isadouche when acting like, well, Gene Simmons.

    But for Kevin? Not in service of impressing Yoshiko.

    Sorry, Sara. None shall pass.

    Clown Larry

    CaptionThisPic

    Evil Yellow Sunball has been around. Back in the 70s, EYS did blow off a rhinoceros’s balls with Marienne Faithful to protest the Khmer Rouge.

    So Evil Yellow Sunball knows what’s up.

    And Evil Yellow Sunball knows that there’s a Clown Larry at every party.

    The bro with not enough to say, but too much energy to say it.

    A douche in every pot, if you will.

    Semitic Shoshanna is today’s victim.

    Tomorrow? It could be you.
