A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.

"Good morning," said the young man. "If I could take a couple minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners."

"Fxxx off!" said the old lady. "I haven't got any money" and she tried to close the door. Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it wide open.

"Don't be too hasty!" he said. "Not until you have at least seen my demonstration." And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse shxx all over her hallway carpet. "If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse shit from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder."

"Well," she said, "I hope you've got a fxxxing good appetite, because the electricity was cut off this morning."




Whoa! It feels as if i haven't updated in ages. Sorry, guys, I haven't felt like updating...

OMG. i watched the video to this one song, Honkytonk Badonkadonk. It's country but it's (dare i say it?) an awesome song. Too many t&a girls in the vid though.=/

Guess I'll feature another artist/group: Pizzicato Five!
hmm. I like this group. Their music is so...lively and techno-ish...

Pizzicato Five (often P5) is a Japanese pop group widely credited to have spearheaded the shibuya-kei movement of Tokyo in the 90s, along with Flipper's Guitar. (I haven't heard much Shibuya-kei so I can't say I'm in love with the genre or anything.)

They are known for their eclectic and energetic compositions, which often sound like "new" releases from the late 1960s hipster scene.

The Tokyo kitsch-pop group began taking shape as far back as 1979, when university students Yasuharu Konishi and Keitaro Takanami first met at a local music society meeting. After agreeing to form a band, they recruited fellow society member Ryo Kamamiya. Their search for a suitable vocalist proved frustrating and in late 1984 they settled on singer Mamiko Sasaki.
The first Pizzicato Five single - Audrey Hepburn Complex - followed a year later, and in 1986 the group issued their debut LP, Pizzicato Five in Action. A slew of subsequent records established them among the most popular acts in Japan, in spite of a series of line-up fluctuations which saw both Kamamiya and Sasaki exit in 1988, replaced soon after by vocalist Takao Tajima (who in turn quit the following year).
Beginning with the 1990 single Lovers Rock, Maki Nomiya was the new P5 vocalist; their popularity at home continued to soar, and in 1994 the American indie label Matador agreed to issue the compilation EP Five by Five. Takanami quit shortly after its release, however, reducing the group to a duo; after a pair of other US compilations, Made in USA and The Sound of Music by Pizzicato Five, in 1997 they issued Happy End of the World, the first of their LPs to enjoy simultaneous Japanese and American release.
The International Playboy and Playgirl Record followed two years later, and the group's last proper album of the millennium, Pizzicato Five (tm), appeared in November 1999. The group broke up in March 2002.
