Bloggers Speak: Unfinished Rambler

12 Dec 2008 by Chris Cameron, No Comments »

Welcome to another edition of Bloggers Speak where Angry Seafood sits down with other online humorists and ask them funny questions every Friday. This week I am joined by Unfinished Rambler from the humor blog of the same name.

How’s it hanging Rambler?

High and tight, to the right? Low and loose, to the left? I’m never sure how I’m supposed to answer to be funny. Was that the wrong answer? If I’m asking if that’s the wrong answer, does it mean I’m not really that funny? Maybe I need to rethink my blogging career? Wait, is this really a career? How much do we agree you would pay me for this interview again? We didn’t? Oh, screw this, I’m outta here…

[After thinking about it for two seconds, Unfinished Rambler returns, because Chris agrees to pay him with sexual party favors....no, no, not those kind of favors, these kind of favors - okay, Chris didn't really agree to that, but it sounded and looked like a good idea to Unfinished Rambler when he was writing this post at 2:30 on Wednesday morning, now reading it on Thursday afternoon as he sends it to Chris, eh, not so much.]

Why do you wish Huey Lewis was dead?

[Brief background for our readers, from Unfinished Rambler: Chris Cameron and I have been having a slight disagreement about Huey Lewis and Kenny Loggins. It all started here with a post Chris did. I responded here. Mr. C - I look up to him like the Fonz looked up to Mr. Cunningham on "Happy Days" in that he is a true mentor- responded here. I responded here.]

Chris, I’ve thought about this long and hard: how to play this. Pander to Huey’s fans and say I was wrong and he is the greatest pop singer who ever lived? Or say what I really think?

I guess I’ll say what I really think. He’s the greatest pop singer who ever lived. I mean, look how when he was still alive, he inspired this parrot:

Would Midget NASCAR work?

I think they’d preferred to be called the Little People, at least, according to their website and I couldn’t find any mention of NASCAR on their radar at the Dwarf Athletic Association of America.

But would it work? We have the technology already in place and no less than my favorite NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon already led the way back in May 2007 in Charlotte.

On a serious note, though, the pedals might have to be adjusted depending on the heights of the Little People perambulating the pint-sized cars. That could pose a problem.

Got a new music question, this time Black Sabbath: Dio or Ozzy?

Short answer: Ozzy. Dio: Rainbow. Ozzy: Black Sabbath. Dio: Heaven and Hell.

Medium answer (and completely off topic, but and still on the subject of midgets): According to WikiAnswers, which ranks rights up there with the great resource Wikipedia, “Ozzy’s early tours included midgets which Ozzy called Dio midgets.” Get Dio midgets to race the little cars and I think we might have a marketing campaign.

Longer answer (in terms of duration of listening and watching, if you can make it through, like many of my meandering trips down memory lane posts that never seem to freaking end and depress the hell out of The Wife, no, it’s true):

Ozzy doing “Paranoid“:

Dio doing “Paranoid“:

A surprise guest doing “Paranoid” (embed video picture would give it away)

I’m thinking of taking a vacation to Greece this week. Good idea?

It’s not that far from you actually. I think you’re going to be mostly on Route 9 into Vermont and then hit I-90 West toward Rochester. You did mean Greece, N.Y. right? I don’t think there’s been any rioting there anyway.

Actually, according to the Morgan Quitno Awards of 2007, Greece was rated the ninth overall safest city in America and the sixth safest city with a population of 75,000 to 99,999. So I don’t think you’ll really have to worry.

As for the country of Greece, from the pictures I’ve seen, at least the night-time ones, it sort of looks like Woodstock, not the original one, but the one in 1999. I guess, if you want to party like it’s 1999, then sure, it would be a great idea.

The daytime videos with the police in the riot gear and all remind me so vividly of the May 1968 riots in Paris though they transpired a whole 13 months before I was born. My mother must have seen it while watching the yearly wrap-up of the news after I was conceived, because it all seems like yesterday.

What made C.H.I.P.S. such a must-see show?

This man…

robert pine

who was a mainstay on the show through it all even when Erik Estrada was replaced by Bruce Jenner and Larry Wilcox was replaced by Tom Reilly in the final season-which, of course, I remember, off the top of my head. Every true CHiPS fan does. And, of course, the theme music, which had a flavor of disco to it, of which I know you are a big fan from previous discussions we’ve had.

Thanks for taking the time to do this Rambler. Any final thoughts?

After all this, you better hope and pray that you and I don’t make it through the first round of the playoffs against Leigh, the inappropriately-named Fantasy Virgin, over at the Humor Bloggers Fantasy Football League Blog (which you started). Because after this whole Kenny vs. Huey debacle, you know I’ll be out for blood. Of course, fake ketchup blood, but still…as Daniel Day-Lewis said, “There Will Be Blood” (no link, I’ll let the readers find it on their own if they’re that damned interested or pop-culture illiterate).
