The Darkness Reacts to The Charismatic Voice Reacts to The Darkness

 

I was wondering what happened to The Darkness. They seemed primed to take over the world in 2003 and then I never heard anything from them again.

The lead singer, Justin Hawkins, had a drug problem and left the band, but they've re-united many times and made a number of albums since then. Now Justin is a youtuber, hence this video. I like him but, being an aspiring youtuber, all his video titles are the worst kind of clickbait garbage, it makes it hard for me to explore anything. Oh well, I'll probably have a moment of weakness at some point.

Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand

 

Slow days on the blog, I suppose. Struggling with sleep and lethargy lately. Hopefully some Zeppelin will do the trick.

For anyone keeping score at home, this is my favorite Led Zeppelin song.

All authoritative sources says this is "Achilles Last Stand" with no apostrophe. I did a preliminary search to find out why, I found nothing. Achilles is the name of a man, he had a last stand, his name ends with an "S" so this should be "Achilles' Last Stand"... surely? Those rockers and their thumbing their nose at grammar. Actually, there's a part in the documentary "The Beatles: Get Back" where George Harrison is wondering if his lyrics are grammatically correct. He's one of the good ones though.

Watermelon Eating Tutorial

 [Editor's Note: The original watermelon tutorial video was made private. I don't know why. So the original has been replaced with another watermelon tutorial.]

It was quite a long while ago that I shared The Old Man Eats Watermelon video. A friend recently alerted me to the fact that I'm missing out on his similar but less viral other hit: the watermelon eating tutorial.

I have to say, according to this video, I have been eating watermelon wrong for my entire life. I daresay no one in the world, except for this guy, has been eating it correctly. I believe strongly that I will not attempt the correct method at any point in the future.

The topic does raise a... topic... though. The question is: how much watermelon can you eat in one sitting? Winter is decreasing but still prevalent. But I plan, as of now, that when the weather is right, I will attempt to answer this question for myself. A man needs something to look forward to, after all.

Random Footage From a 1988 Burger King

 

The thumbnail shows that they're serving Pepsi products. The description explains that they switched over to Coke in 1990.

How weird would it be to be watching this in 2023 and see your 1988 self in the video? Of course, I suppose, you would go into it remembering being in a BK once and seeing someone with a camera, lessening the impact a great deal, but still.
