RIP Grant Hart

Grant Hart, drummer of punk pioneers Husker Du, has died aged 56

Trashed Teddies!

Onyx and I had this great idea. Remember Care Bears? Well, we're working on these new teddy bears that we're going to start selling, called Trashed Teddies. The drugged-out bears, in need of a place to unwind. So far, we have Bud Bear, Shroom Bear and Snow Bear, with more to come.

The Worst Ways to Die

I was rewatching Return of the Living Dead, (which has got to be one of the best if not the best zombie movie of all time) and got to thinking what are the worst ways to die? We all remember Trash and her opinion on the matter.



I think one of the worst ways to die would be the case of a man by the name of Hiroshi Ouchi. The irony of his last name is too perfect. Hiroshi was 35 years old when on September 30, 1999 he was splashed with an extremely lethal dose of radioactive material at his work. They kept him alive and in agony for 83 days to study him. There are many images of this poor man online, and his story is a terrifying one.

So what about you? What do you think are the worst ways to die?

Kim Richards with Elsa Lanchester

I think this is interesting. Kim Richards is on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which I think most people would agree is the ultimate Trash Epic. (I'm proud to say I've never even seen it, but I see enough references to it all over the $%^&•%$#@!ing internet that I feel that I can speak with great authority about this topic). Anyway, when she was six or seven years old, in 1971, she was on a show called Nanny and the Professor, and Elsa Lanchester co-starred with her on a few episodes. Elsa, of course, is best known to most of us here as The Bride of Frankenstein, from 1935. She was in her late 60's when she was on Nanny and the Professor.

That is really striking to me, to think of all the decades of combined show business experience you see, when you see Kim standing next to Elsa, talking to her. Together, they represent almost the entire history of Hollywood, at least in the era since silent films. Elsa Lanchester actually starred in a few silent films, but that was in London in the 20's, not Hollywood, so... whatever that means. Kim Richards is still hanging in there, of course... I had to Google this, but apparently she is a grandmother now, and there is an excellent chance that she will still be acting in the 2020s. So, that's a whole century of show business history right there, just in that one shot of Kim standing there with Elsa.

Here, I hope you can view the picture. If not, search on Google Images for Kim Richards in quotes, and Elsa Lanchester (not Lancaster, so be careful) also in quotes.

Born in 1791, filmed in 1905?!?

I have no idea if this is actually true, of course, but if you Google around you can find the same info I found. This old woman was the grandmother of two early filmmakers who were born in the 1870's and 1880's, Yanaki and Milton Manaki. They lived in the Ottoman Empire, in an area that is Macedonia today. Here, this is their grandmother weaving. Even if she wasn't born in 1791, she couldn't have been born later than the early 19th century.



This is about the Manaki brothers:

If you come up with any unusual search strategy that turns up some cool info, please share it!

Survey: Do you have any pets?

Yeah, a random-ass question, but I want to see if we have any animal-lovers on this site. I have a cat whom I call by a billion different names, such as Kentucky Johnson, Johnny Cakes, Johnson Cat, Jiminy Cakes, Johan Cokes, and all sorts of stupid variations of that. Then I have a dog named Dexter (named after the show), aka Doctor Dexter, M.D.

I don't use my gallery for anything worthwhile, but you can see more pics of these dumb, lovable animals in my gallery: https://trashepics.com/snap/?user=1

Wetlands (2013)


I've seen a lot of gross out comedies, but Wetlands is something all its own. Wetlands is a German comedy, drama directed by David Wnendt, and damn is it weird!

The plot is as follows an unhygienic woman named Helen who has strange views on sex and hygiene wants her divorced parents to reunite. This is only the beginning of Helen's issues because Helen has also been hospitalized due to cutting a hemorrhoid when she attempted to shave her ass crack... Helen has always been plagued with hemorrhoids. It's her lot in life to bear I suppose.

Helen is not only anti hygiene, she also has some very odd hobbies. One being testing out which types of vegetables make for the best dildos, ( according to Helen it's carrots) and the other being jacking off guys, and using their dried jizz as chewing gum. I suppose I should also mention she has a fetish for public toilets. The dirtier the better! Helen, although gross, has an oddly hot charm to her. I love her free spirited attitude.

There is so much about this movie that is messed up, and I found myself gagging a time or two, but this is also a blast of a movie to watch. There wasn't a single time I was bored, and I'll definitely be watching it again. So, if you are in the mood for a fun gross out comedy then give Wetlands a try. 7/10

eBooks, and self-publishing

About a year ago, I started writing a book. A dirty soap, as I call it, chronicling the misadventures of the local delinquent cheerleaders in a crappy hick town, and the lame male protagonist that longs for them. Last month, I finished it. It's a whopping less-than 200 page male fantasy about disco, drugs, and delusional deadbeats. If that doesn't reel you in, GTFO.

Now for anyone who knows me, I fucking suck. I haven't written anything good in a looooong time, but I wrote this yarn and I want to put it online. I want to self-publish it on Amazon (though I have no idea how that works yet), and since I suck so badly, I only plan on charging $1 for it. That way, it might even seem like a value.



Do any of you read eBooks? Have you ever written a book? And how much would you charge for it? What would you write about?

Who is the hot blonde...

...in the Season 3 episode of the Love Boat who gets involved with Steve Kanaly's character in the last ten minutes or so? No women will date him because he wants them to sign a paper before they date. This lady doesn't mind because she wants him to sign the same kind of agreement. She's not credited, and I wondered if she ever appeared in anything else. She's one of the best looking blondes I've ever seen.

Yokai Monsters: Spook Warfare

Anyone enjoy this obscure movie based on Yokai Monsters of Japanese folklore?

It has two follow up movies (100 monsters) and another one. There is also a more recent but unrelated Yokai War movie.
