Andy Dick is a "Wild" Man

By now, almost everybody knows that Andy Dick is a little crazy. However, he confirmed this again by making a scene outside of a Buffalo Wild Wings. The short story is that he was peeing in the parking lot then decided to pull a teenage girl's top down. The resulting search found other drugs in his possession.

Andy Dick is as crazy as the day is long

The most shocking part of this story is that Andy Dick was at BUFFALO WILD WINGS. Shouldn't he be doing drugs at a much nicer establishment? For some reason, I can't help but picture this scene with trucker-people as the innocent bystanders. Also, can anybody explain to me why a performer would just whip it out? It says that Andy Dick has done this twice... K-Ci did it too. What gives?

Should Tim Tebow Rock Crocs?

Today on Every Day Should Be Saturday, there was a picture of Tim Tebow in Thailand. That's not really a big deal... except he's wearing blue and orange Crocs. The question is: does Tim Tebow make up for his ugly ass Crocs with his hot girlfriend?


Crocs or a sex life... you can't have both.


Matt Jones Loves Cocaine

I've always hated Matt Jones -- but it's because he's good. He destroyed Texas single-handedly as a Razorback. I still remember him converting on what was about 3rd and 30 like it was yesterday. I also remember that we finally (and narrowly) took down those bastards the following year.

It wasn't too surprising to hear that Matt Jones was arrested for cutting up coke in a 4Runner.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Matt Jones faces a felony drug charge in his former college town after police say officers found him cutting up cocaine with a credit card Thursday morning.
I went to Fayetteville (pronounced FAY-t-vull) last year for Playboy's Girls of the SEC tour. You have to fly in into NWA (that's Northwest Arkansas) and drive for an hour or so to get there. Our event was at Speakeasy -- which is the one "club" in Fayetteville. Even though we were competing with dollar beers night, we still drew a decent crowd. Having an event in Georgia the next day, I had to drive BACK to NWA at about 4AM (without GPS). Just before I went, some of the Razorback students I had been with fired up the coke party. I did not participate. So yeah, I wasn't too shocked to hear that Matt Jones was all about the llello.

OCD Classic: YOU HURT ME

The guy that breaks down is awesome. In a previous scene, he wore a light blue shirt, with blue shorts, and light blue Crocs. This gem was from the episode of Wife Swap that aired last night. The clip is pretty self-explanatory...

OCD Quote of the Day 7/8: Issues with Hetero Sex



"The majority is gay, but we’ve had issues with hetero sex as well. Families are upset and outraged."- George Price, Superintendent of the National Seashore

This gem is from a recent article about the substantial increase in public sex at the northeastern beaches. Apparently, shoregoers and whale watchers have encountered substantially more hanky panky. The number of incidents has more than tripled from 2007 to 2008. One complaint from 2007 from a New Jersey family claimed that they saw "a large group" of men having "sex in the nude, including oral and anal sex right out in the open." I hear you George Price -- I'm also outraged with my own recent hetero sex issues. But that's another blog post for another time.

MGMT and Justice Make Sweet Love

MGMT is awesome. "Electric Feel" is probably my favorite song from the CD Oracular Spectacular (followed by "Kids"). Additionally, I was addicted to Justice for a short time after SXSW. You can ask my roommates. So you can imagine how excited I was when I found out that Justice had remixed "Electric Feel". It's duo on duo action and the result sounds very much like a Justice song. They made the pitch of the vocals a little higher and added a variety of electronica sounds that are prevalent in "cross". Both of these groups are blowing up right now... so download the MGMT - Electric Feel (Justice Remix) and be snobby about it.

Justice side-by-side with MGMT... just like at Playboy's SXSW party

I do find it hilarious that both groups have ambiguous names. Is it em-gee-em-tee? Is it "management"? We work with their PR team for Rock the Rabbit. I've asked them which is correct ... and they don't even know. Then for Justice... "just-iss" or "joo-stees"? They ARE French. In any case, Rolling Stone says "management" and Wikipedia says "joo-stees". Fuck that though -- I'm going with "em-gee-em-tee" and "just-iss".

The Heart-Wrenching Tale of Prince Henry Stout

Last week, the roommates and I ended up watching Surviving The Game. I can't remember if we DVR'd it or if we watched it as it came on -- but we watched it wire-to-wire.

My first thought when watching it was: "How did they trick all of these guys into being in this movie?" The cast includes Rutger Hauer, John C. McGinley, Gary Busey, and Ice-T (pre-badass-actor-stage). Rutger Hauer plays one of the cheesiest characters of all time. The basic story is that Ice T plays a homeless guy they recruit to be the target of human hunt. Rutger Hauer is the brains of the operation and once they get Mr. T to the cabin in the woods, he's MERCILESS with the overt-foreshadowing. It's almost laughable as during the dinner scene when Hauer tells him to "savor the meal" and when Gary Busey lets him know that you "can steal the pig's soul by looking into its eyes".

No matter what experience you hope to draw from Surviving the Game, you will be entertained. There are many moments of high tension -- like when Ice T tries to shoot his assailants with a shotgun from 200 yards away. But the best moment, BY FAR, has to be the story of Prince Henry Stout.

While we were watching this part, we couldn't really decide how much of this Busey ad-libbed. This short clip (thanks for sending, Brad) definitely challenges The Wicker Man in terms of pure insanity. It barely beats out the scene where Busey tackles Ice-T and tries to kill him.



Clearly, this was during Gary Busey's hey-day. Surviving The Game was in the middle of his Under Siege-Surviving The Game-Black Sheep-Drop Zone streak. It's unfortunate that his niche, crazy cocaine-fueled diatribes, also sparked his downfall. Hey, at least his career didn't tank as badly as his son's after Tomcats.

UPDATE: Alex found a transcript of an interview with Busey where he talks about the "Prince Henry Stout" story. Unsurprisingly, most of the speech was ad-libbed. Busey is god. He was on the I Love Money Casting Special and one guy said to him "I want to be on the A-List like you used to be!" Gary Busy was on the A-List?

Gary: That is not in the film. What's the other character you said? Surviving the Game! That was fantastic and when it came time to do the story about how I got into this game of surviving the game, the line was about three inches long. I told the director, Ernest Dickerson, I said, "Ernest, this is not enough tell the people why I'm here. Can I enlarge this?" And he said, "Yes you can." And I said, "You have just watered my garden! Thank you." So out came the story about me fighting Prince Henry Stout, the bulldog—life and death. And all that was improv. It's used in film studies now at colleges and universities to talk about the power of improvisation and spontaneity. And here is the key to spontaneity. This is a quote. Spontaneity comes from an invisible idea that is there before the creation begins—end quote. We all have it. We all have it in us, this a natural gift.
