Post-Mortem...

Hey everybody... gotta make this kind-of short today...

I'm going to the theatuh tonight to take in the latest offering by the good folks at Buddies In Bad Times, entitled "Who's Your Dada?" Get it? Dada as in the anti-art movement? "Who's Your-" as in the oft-uttered phrase during anal sex, particularly when performed doggstyle, "Who's Your Daddy?" They took the two... and uhhh... yeah... combined them, see... yeah... sorry.

Anyway, the world at large is still reeelling from Heathcliff Ledger's death, a fact and reaction which seems surprising what with all the fucking quotes coming out of the woodwork that seem to have foreshadowed it more explicitly than the mothafuckin' ominous strings in "Jaws".

This New York Times article boldly highlights his tortured soul and pretty much explicitly marks his love affair with Ambien. And of course, a quote that's being tossed around like a hot potato from this interview he gave to In Touch Weekly back in November 2007 saying: "Having a child changes every aspect of your life — for the better, of course. The sacrifices are large, but what you get in return is even bigger than the sacrifices you make. I feel, in a sense, ready to die because you are living on in your child". Moral of the story: be careful what you wish for. Sheesh.

Other items of interest (and I know they're of interest... my blog got a record number of hits yesterday! Fuck! I had no idea how into Heathcliff y'all was!):

Him and Mary Kate Olsen were reportedly dating. Considering that they were both living in the same building, it was presumably out of convenience, much like when people hooked up in residence back in Uni.

A rolled-up $20 bill - PERFECT for putting things up y'nose with - was found near Heathcliff's dead body. After testing, it came back negative. So yay. No c'caine was involved.

Some asshole from the beacon of credibility that is Fox News totally mocked Heathcliff dying, showing the iconic clip from Brokeback Mountain that sees Jake Gyllenhal's character saying "I wish I knew how to quit you", and following that the Fox News asshole replied "well, he found out how to quit you". Funny. You know what else is funny? How his e-mail address was made public and I wrote him telling him how I hope his family is raped, murdered and eaten by Tazmanian pirates. I urge you to do the same: john.gibson@foxnews.com

Anywho, that's it for today's HEATHWATCH.

So I got to thinking the other day, it's been suuuuch a long time since I've done an edition of "This Is Her Signature Look". For those of you unfamiliar with it, it's inspired/completely ripped off from a character that Maya Rudolph did named 'Tuhnay Griggs' on an installment of "Deep House Dish". Basically she was dressed like a hot-mess mongoloid hipster and her song was about describing the various items she was wearing sandwiched between "This is my signature look / And I'm gonna wear this out / Fierce fierce fierce, fabulous / Worthwhile". I'd post the clip, but shooooot girl, it's gone offa youtube... Anyway...

To demonstrate, I'll rehash a classic... here's Yerxa, sporting his signature look, at his birthdaytime...

And here's my rebuttal...


Which reminds me - the word 'rebuttal' - last weekend when Yerx, Anth and I were sitting around just shootin' our requisite co-fag shit, we reminisced about the time that Yerxa saw champion figure skater Jeff Buttle out at Buddies (FUCK OFF! A GAY FIGURE SKATER?! WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!?!?)... anyway... he rued not hooking up with Jeff Buttle said evening, and I hypothesized what it would be like if he did, but then hit it a second time... we concluded it would be called a "Re-Buttle". Get it? Good.

Pressing on...

I found this pic of Amy Winehouse as a child a while ago that was taken when some papparazzi got into her parents' house somehow, and it's just the fucking weirdest thing I've ever seen... sooooo... I now present:

THIS IS HER SIGNATURE LOOK, AMY WINEHOUSE-AS-A-KID EDITION!!!

Annnnd...


Done like Donda,
