Well, last night’s Videogum Holiday Party was a huge success. Like, kind of too successful if you know what I mean. Like, could someone please drive me to the emergency room and just roll me out of the car onto the cement in front of the automatic doors so that the automatic doors keep opening and closing on my lolling head and when the doctors come out to put me onto a gurney and wheel me inside they will find a note pinned to my chest that says “Yay! We did it!” Oof. Rough stuff. But, like, the best kind of rough stuff. Good work everyone. Let’s enjoy this weekend, because we really earned it last night. Whoops!

What happened to WMOAT? On a personal note, it’s the feature that originally brought me to Vgum. On an even more personal note, I can’t sleep a night knowing that “Life As We Know It” prances around the Hollywood Hills without fear of evisceration. Seriously, Gabe, if you are burnt out on movies, I’ll write this one on spec. |

[Assoc. Ed. Note: Last night at the holiday party Gabe mentioned that we attended, he brought up the topic of which Black Eyed Pea we would be if we were all the Black Eyed Peas and he said that I'm "obviously Fergie" and then moved on and the topic of which Black Eyed Pea I would be was never discussed again. SEXIST MUCH? I think I'm an apl.de.ap. He said that he would be will.i.am. (Of course.) Anyway, congratulations on your two BEP related image wins, concert_addict! And good job to everyone else on their images and FLW on his words. Lots of images today. Especially great image to you, Chris Trash. Thank you. If it makes you feel better about anything, Gabe fires me multiple times every time I see him in real life.]

| Ballet builds core strength and flexibility like nothing else. It is NOT weird for guys to do ballet and fuck you Gabe for the picture of his head superimposed on a ballerina’s body. Grow up. | |||

It’s Friday let’s dance
“Woof. Ruff stuff.” -Birdie
in tribute to Christopher Hitchens, I’m going to drink myself into a stir and loudly shit on people in a British accent.
the only difference between this and any other friday night is the accent.
Let’s hope you don’t get mistaken for Ricky Gervais
Wait, the WMOAT is dead? I thought just napping.
gabe must have cancelled his quikster account.
WE DEMAND ANSWERS!
For reals. Because if it’s coming back, I will wait for a WMOAT on Limitless. If not, I should probably get to work on writing that. Some things need to exist.
WMOAT is what brought me to videogum, too. i started to watch Havoc on IFC one night. then, as it devolved immediately into an eyeball-assaulting trainwreck of cinematic catastrophe, i found myself torn between shutting the TV off and wanting to see if it could possibly redeem itself. at one point i called my sister to give her a recap of how horrible it was and how i thought it might be a joke. fake movie alert! then i googled it to see if i was missing something – it was above my intellect or tolerance for contrived garbage masquerading as art, or something. and the first google result was the WMOAT write up, and i read it, and laughed and laughed, and sent the link to everyone i knew, but with the caveat NOT to watch Havoc, and just to read videogum. because thug life.
the point of this opus is because of WMOAT, Havoc is referred to my friends as their “favorite awful movie they never saw” and videogum is our collective web-read of choice.
monsterry holidays, monsters!
Have a good week-end tout le monde!
What do you guys want for Christmas? Obviously I’m not getting you anything but I’m just curious.
All I wanted was a present from you, Steve!
here is what I want: a whiskey flask and one of those fancy glass decanter things to hold whiskey in a fancy fashion in the home.
here is what I know that I am getting because the amazon receipt was visible in the box: mad men season four and the deadwood novel.
would be curious to hear what presents you are all looking forward to as we celebrate the birth of baby Jesus, who you may or may not recall is in fact the REASON for the mother fucking SEASON bitch
Do you have the link to your Amazon wishlist so we can buy stuff and have Amazon send it to you?
I still don’t have an iPod. I have gone way past hinting for it this year.
Also, I think I’m getting personal trainer sessions, which is something I asked for but still feels kind of insulting?
Meh, I don’t celebrate Christmas. I just don’t see any reason for the season.
Happy Friday! I didn’t realize it was Friday because I am done school and haven’t left the house in 4 days.
Here’s a gif that has nothing to do with anything or everything to do with everything, depending on your mood I guess:
“At last, the circle is complete. When I left you I was but the learner; now I am the mastUUURK!”
I saw this yesterday and watched it for like, five minutes. Which I am mid-way through doing again now. I wish I could have gifs as my wallpaper.
Stay warm everyone!
I had my first Videogum-themed dream the other night. We were all in 6th grade in my Ukrainian Village public school in Chicago (back when you’d hear gunshots at night in UV instead of Girl Talk-style remixes.
Gabe was that substitute who spent the whole time talking to us about ‘nam instead of teaching. Gabe sat down to read his military book and brought another substitute who was Kelly. Facetaco kept calling Kelly Gabe and Ian then yelled “Dance Time!” and we all burst into meme-style dancing. Then I woke up.
What I’m trying to say is thanks for the upvotes and see you next week.
But was that really reality and this is the dream???????
I do yell Dance Time quite frequently
I’ve only had one Videogum-related and Gabe was in a wheelchair. And middle-aged. That’s all that was VG-related and I’m worried that we might share a psychic link the implications of which are beyond the realm of human understanding.
Tell me, Chris, do you have dreams that heavily feature Mila Kunis, a large block of ice dipped in honey and my 6th-grade english teacher Mrs. Havershoot wearing a Bill Murray mask? Asking for a friend who sometimes has dreams like that.
I had a dream once where every week everyone was issued one Mega-Upvote, worth 50 Upvotes, and that was pretty much the whole dream, except for all the Doin’ It.
This was supposed to be a gif with the guy from the diner talking about seeing a “face he nevers wants to see outside of a dream but i got lazy. Let’s just go drink.
It works, Christopher. It works.
You know how sometimes when you like someone you do awkward or terrible things to them just to try and get their attention? And then it always ends in marriage because that’s just such a good idea?
Anyway, I just wanted to say I’m sorry to Kelly for nominating you for the Uncoolest Person of the Year award yesterday. I didn’t mean it and I actually think you’re pretty cool. No hetero.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Fake
You’re welcome, richie almost-dies. I was hoping I had set that up properly.
And happy Friday everyone!
I’m having friends over for a little party and we’re drinking lumps of coal:
Vodka
Tiny bit o’chocolate liqueur
Soda water
Chocolate truffle (that’s the lump!)
Put it in a martini glass and add soda water to make it fizzy! So, basically a chocolate martini with less sugar and more actual chocolate.
I usually make mine with gold shavings over the chocolate truffle. And I drink it through a diamond straw (I JUST FUCKING THROW THEM OUT WHEN I’M DONE I’VE GOT A CABINET FULL OF THEM). By the way, wanna make a $10,000 bet about something? I don’t know, anything?
Just joshing, that sounds delicious.
If it makes you feel better, I got the martini glasses at the dollar store. They’re probably full of lead. If I’m not here next week, that’s why… Lead poisoning, just like the children on the news. And for snacks? Lead paint chips. Man, those things are sweet and delicious. And festive! We’re staying warm by sticking a space heater next to the bed. So effective!
Someone please post a Chris-Farley-maniac-dancing-from-Tommy-Boy gif. STAT.
*Chris Farley dances maniacally at some point during Tommy Boy and it is hilarious I assume*.GIF
This is better. I’m giving you the gift of IMAGINATION! Merry Christmas!
Deadbeat dads, take notes.
No offense everyone else in the ball, but richie almost-dies’ comment was the best comment, because it was a perfect perfect reply to an IMAGE, in every way. I mean talk about the perfect stormcomment.
If you’re a Toronto monster, I’m playing a birthday show at Zemra Lounge 2 hours from now (930) Google it! I’ve already self-promoted myself once this week and it still feels awful. Anyways there’s no sound guy, the sound system is hidden behind the bar, so even if I wanted to I can’t access it. And I’m splitting the room with a local high school teachers’ holiday party. It is, I imagine, going to be rough and rowdy. Yikes, have a good weekend all! Scotch time!
Off topic comment: yall ever get a cd, pull the little booklet thing out of the jewel case and hold it close to your face and take a big sniff? That smell is so delicious. I think the record stores win this round, “Napster” you industry destroyer piece of shit
I’m going off the rails on a crazy traaaiiin
Once I thought a thing
and then I thought another
thing and it was Fall.
I upvoted the editor’s choice of the week. Ha, you guys wouldn’t believe the shit I upvote.
