A radio producer sits in front a sound board, sweating profusely. His hand, trembling slightly, hovers above a rectangular button that reads “CENSOR”. With his other hand, he reaches out and presses another button marked “TALKBACK”.
PRODUCER: Okay, we’re…[gulps]…we’re coming back from commercial. [runs his hands through his hair] Let’s, uh…let’s try this again.
BILL PARCELLS: I don’t know what the [bleep] your problem is, pencilneck, it’s midnight, there aren’t any [bleep] [bleep] kids listening.
PRODUCER: Yes, but the FCC is. And fines grow progressively.
PARCELLS: [bleep]-ing pussy.
PRODUCER: Could you just…just…PLEASE try to tone your language down a little. Just for long enough to introduce the segment.
PARCELLS: I don’t even know why you brought me in here. You know how I feel about these, no offense, [bleep] plays.
PRODUCER: See, Bill, that’s just what I’m talking about. You can’t just drop racial slurs while we’re on the air.
PARCELLS: [bleep] is a racial slur? I thought it was short for “Japanese”.
PRODUCER: It is, but…you know what, I’m not going to go into the details of HOW and WHY it’s really racist for you to use it like that.
PARCELLS: I don’t even know why you guys brought me in here for this “TRICK” song horse-[bleep]. I like my music like my running game – straightforward with a bunch of power.
PRODUCER: [losing patience] BECAUSE IT’S APRIL FOOL’S DAY! Jesus.
PARCELLS: [impressed by PRODUCER’s intensity] NOW THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT! We’re ready?
PRODUCER: And three…two…one…
PARCELLS: All right! Welcome back to Request Line! I’m former NFL Coach Bill Parcells and I’ll be taking your requests. In honor of April Fool’s Day, tonight’s topic is “tricks”. Tricks, fools, jokes, you call it in, I’ll give it a spin. Happy April Fool’s Day, chumps.
Since it’s still available, I’ll go with the Dead’s Ship of Fools.
https://youtu.be/dAaPFFgCVwU
Foolish Heart’s not my favorite, but I’ll take the twin-spin since it’s sitting there for me.
https://youtu.be/i4mcdEq_XSU
I don’t normally arrange things with the playlists, but I’m gonna use “Ship of Fools” as the closing track. Just feels right.
Summation of the Commentist Party?
Aretha Franklin–Chain of Fools
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGAiW5dOnKo
Bit of a stretch, but…
Moar pre-BRO country…

George Michael – Kissing a Fool
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8HKAw9JAFY
I’d ask what you were planning to do while you were sitting in the corner, but given the mention of George Michael I think I’d rather not know.
How ’bout some thrash? Café Tacuba – El borrego (The Dumbass)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UQFotfgSYC0
Yikes…..as big a fan of Green Day as I am, I am loathe to link this one. But on the other hand, it would be wrong not to. Overplayed to death and I almost hate hearing it now? Check. Fits the Theme? Check.
Green Day – American Idiot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee_uujKuJMI
I almost did it.
Overplayed? Definitely. But still a good song.
Still reminds me of Madden.
JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU WEREN’T GOING TO GET A GREEN DAY DOUBLE SHOT IT TURNS OUT THAT YOU WERE!
Does this one fit? I think it does, but ultimately I just wanted to hear the song.

Frankly disappointed this one didn’t turn up earlier.

Surprised the Beatles lasted that long.
I think this works…
No?
I was hoping it was this band:
Actually heard this one on my way to work this morning.
The Hives – AKA IDIOT
Best song ever by 16 year olds
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pgQ8gph1kHs
Busy day at the office today, so not gonna be a lot from me. HOWEVAH!

Say goodbye to your productive lives.
I’m about to introduce you to the Ownage Pranks YouTube channel.
This one is entitled “Racist Cop Rage Prank (ANIMATED).” Enjoy.

I thought it was worth a repeat.
I hadn’t seen it.
Now I want the motorized version:

It’s probably funnier when you post a photo of motorized airplane stairs that the stairs are actually motorized:

“I don’t like sand” might be the worst movie line ever written, but this is the worst scene:
http://25.media.tumblr.com/5babf884d516efded5ac2f16e13d0051/tumblr_mva3m3yQNg1sjzbuao1_400.gif
What the fuck. Is even happening here.
I dated a fencer in college, and I don’t ever remember ANY of the fencers swinging their various sword-type implements around their heads like fucking lunatics.
There is no one on earth who even approaches George Lucas in the ratio of success and credit:talent. Every idea he ever had was awful and it is only through the grace of the midichlorians that we got the first two films and the first part of the third.
Fucking midichlorians. Fuck.
Anyway…you know what to do.
Yeah, with how destructive light sabers can be I don’t understand why their fights don’t involve a lot more poking.

The perfect visual metaphor for watching one of the prequels.
Chewing on a fucking cactus.
Guess I misinterpreted that whole scene.

It was seeing the .gif you posted late night that reminded me how awesome even terrible things like the prequels can be made in the hands of the internet.

Speaking of fencers…
Oh, nothing. That’s just champion fencer Reinhard Heydrich taking a breather during a meet between the Berlin SS Fencing Team against a team from France in 1939. Wearing a giant SS Darth Vader cape.
It is said that even Hitler was a little bit afraid of Heydrich. I can’t imagine why.
Not finding a lot of tricks, but as in real life surrounded by a lot of Fools –

GIRD YOUR LOINS PEOPLE CAUSE IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER DOUBLE SHOT!
I honestly get WAY too much of a silly thrill posting these double shots.
More Fools –
https://youtu.be/d52M5M6OOXs
F. Yeah.
When I was in high school I had to mow our lawn, and I had the fun idea of mowing the Zeppelin symbols into it. My dad was cool about a lot of things but he wasn’t very cool about that.
Yeah, doing that would have gotten me into the re-education camp know as Vacation Bible School, and in my home town all the Baptist churches staggered theirs so you could have the joy of JAYSUS. All. Summer. Long.
Holy shit, I WENT TO VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL ARE YOU HENRY FAFFENBACH
I wasn’t even Baptist. What happened was, they pulled a prison-green school bus RIGHT UP TO THE CURB OF MY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL on Friday mornings and everyone had Bible class for an hour. This was done with the full knowledge and consent of the school district. They couldn’t bring the church onto school grounds so they parked it out back. I have to say that’s pretty clever. Horrifying, but clever.
Where I grew up, the First Baptist/Hyles-Anderson church used to send around buses and vans that would just pick up kids and take them to their church way the fuck across town. They didn’t check with the kids’ parents. They’d just take anyone that they could talk onto the bus.
At the age of nine I wanted (wanted!) to go to one of those; my parents let me go and they were right; we all figured out that religion WAS NOT going to be my thing.

Oh that’s fucking good.
I have tried more times to post an actual fucking video than Joe Flacco has trying to like chocolate ice cream. We both failed. NAWT ELITE!
I stopped trying. Besides, WCS always comes in behind (PHRASING) and takes care of it for me.
You kneed to accept your limited role and contributions to society. Without this acceptance you and I would be disruptive forces for the cause of evil.
Styx – Fooling Yourself.
So. Much. Organ. (Phrasing!)

“So. Much. Organ.”
– Not Jenn Sterger
aaron neville – everybody plays the fool
Did somebody say “Joke?”
Soul Asylum – “Gullible’s Travels”
Curiously enough, both of my favorite songs by this band (this one and “Cartoon”) were written by their guitarist Dan Murphy (as opposed to their primary songwriter Dave Pirner).
FIRST!
