[AI Mozart's 'Dad'] 🎶 Paul Gia-MAAAAAA-tiiiiiiii . . . . . 🎶

Screenshot from the film Amadeus where Il Commendatore has burst into the dinner party to mockingly accept Don Giovanni's invitation, and freak everyone the fuck out before he drags our playboy to Hell. In the movie, the viewer is meant to believe that this represents Mozart's father, which is a load of horseshit, but the film succeeds where it does with sheer enthusiasm.

Nah, I'm sure Bolden means well, but what we are dealing with here is not simply a fucking 'con man'. 'Con man' is something my Dad would jokingly call his 1970s business buddies. We have been in deeper waters for a very long time, and I do not believe this is helping strike the proper tone, here.

Just a reminder that the baby you see toward the beginning of The Blair Witch Project is now older than Janis Joplin, Hendrix et al. were when they died. Also, in the movie it ate a booger.

I posted about Fridtjof Nansen, the man who in 1888, explored Greenland on SKIS, just days after defending his theory of the concept of the NEURON. But more importantly he is absolutely 100% STEAMPUNK TECHNOVIKING, AND How the fuck is there NOT a movie about him starring Alexander Skarsgård?

Image of Fridtjof Nansen, looking a whole hell of a lot like Alexander Skarsgård. It's really really really fucking similar.

Look at the dressy boy in his little suit, pretending he has a career after all this . . . 'Old man yells at cloud via Elf On A Shelf' Speaking of Nobel, see Fridtjof Nansen. Fridtjof cross-country skied across Greenland in 1888, and DAYS AFTER giving us the NEURON as a concept. Be like Fridtjof.

Fridtjof Wedel-Jarlsberg Nansen (Norwegian: [ˈfrɪ̂tːjɔf ˈnɑ̀nsn̩]; 10 October 1861 – 13 May 1930) was a Norwegian polymath and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and FUCKING STEAMPUNK TECHNOVIKING AND HAD BETTER BE FUCKING PLAYED BY ALEXANDER SKARSGÅRD!!!!!

For decades I've often thought about who was the first neolithic person to be so hungry they cut up some cow's udder (like a real jerk), and had some milk, and I just learned about the -13,910T mutation, 9,000 years ago. Crazy to think that we were making cheese before we could really have milk.

The thing I love about Def Leppard’s ‘Too Late’ is how there’s this old woman in London who has zero love in her life. Maybe she’s widowed, maybe hesitated on a chance earlier in life, but now she is alone, so their response is “Hey let’s write a fucking monster hit song about HOW FUCKED SHE IS!”
