Waffle House wedding
MTV and Johnny Knoxville give Jesco his own show
His venue? The front yard, the den of Jesco's and Norma Jean's trailer, or any place the spirit moves.
But dancing isn't the only phenomenon that emanates from the cabin. On quiet nights, legend has it, you can hear the echoes of vintage Elvis tunes careening off the walls of Jesco's Elvis room and through the mountains of Boone county. Jesco belts out Elvis tunes as only a true King can. It's a beautiful thing, man.
Jesco's unique mountain wisdom and talents (and tattoos) have not gone unnoticed. His jewels of wisdom are downright profound. His talents have made him the subject of two documentary films and scored him an appearance with Dweezil Zappa ("Weezil" as Jesco puts it) as a country cousin on the "The Roseanne Show." (The tattoos were a big hit, just ask Tom Arnold) |

The unicorn is......HIGH!!!!!!!!
The new Denny's All Nighter commercial is shamelessly (and smartly) targeting the one core group of customers you're likely to find in a Denny's at 3:00 am, stoners. By featuring a talking t-rex, a stoned unicorn, and a sarcastic leprechaun, Denny's has achieved a tic-tac-toe of advertising absurdity...but somehow it manages to work. Even though the commercial makes almost no sense (how does the t-rex eat his pancakes with those tiny little arms?), it doesn't really matter one bit. Denny's seems to be onto something here, and when you're getting well reasoned YouTube comments like, "damn this is the best comercial ever! just like the unicorn and t-rex, i love to get supa stoned and go to Dennys ..." you know you're doing something right.

Scopitone- Sado Maso
Scopitone is a type of jukebox featuring a 16 mm film component. It was a forerunner of music video. The Italian Cinebox/Colorama and Color-Sonics were competing, lesser-known technologies of the time.
Based on technology developed during World War II, color 16 mm film clips with a magnetic soundtrack were designed to be shown in a specially designed jukebox. The first Scopitones were made in FranceSado Maso is from France circa 1960's ...It's an ode to S&M, sang by a dude with a face that looks like it was flattened by a shovel..sado maso indeed
French speakers out there should check this out. The lyrics for the song are hilarious.
Basically the song is a back and forth exchange between a man and a woman into S & M and what they want to do to each other. The song opens with the Man screaming "OWWWWW! That's GOOOOD!!!!", then leads to exchanges like:
Man: Eat this spider!
Woman: Ok, but that's the last one.
Man: It's time for you to get whipped!
Woman: Oh great, I love that!
Man: Now burn my chest!
Woman: With what my love?
Man: Use your cigarette!
Woman: It's smells like grilled pork!
Needless to say, it's unlikely much research on the topic was done for versimilitude. But the idea of people hitting the dance floor to this song is pretty funny.
