Taylor Hicks: The Drinking Game
EBAY AUCTION UPDATE: The Auction for the YIRMUMAH BAND piece has 4 days left and it’s up over 50bucks now. Thanks for bidding! - LINK
Now I’m going to ramble on about Television crap. I don’t really watch much TV — (Lost, The Shield, 24, My Name is Earl)
For those of you completely lost, “Crazy Gray Haired Guy” is Taylor Hicks from this season’s American Idol. Also, I found a great site called “GRAY CHARLES DOT COM” (Calypso doing some pimping today on her shirt)
Yeah, anyway, I watch American Idol for the same reasons millions of other people watch it, to see the HORRIBLE singers at the beginning be mocked and ridiculed because it makes us feel better about ourselves and we find comfort that SURELY we’re not as delusional as THOSE people…. right??? Well, into the auditions popped Taylor Hicks, and you noticed one thing immediately when walked in… the boy is GRAY! Turns out, he went Gray when he was 15. Then… the dude starts twitching around, singing like Joe Cocker all contorted and bending around as if he were summoning Ray Charles with that big Ray Charles smile….. See, now you know why the other site is calling him GRAY CHARLES… catchy, huh? Initially, I thought— OH MAN, this crazy guy has got something going on…. and I told my wife this guy was going to take the whole thing and I still stick to that.
There was a rumor this week that he might be getting rid of his gray hair, which I think would be totally bogus hollywood crapola. Don’t do it Taylor! I mean, looking into this guy through the fan sites, it looks like he had a pretty nice little musical following before this thing, and he did it all with the Gray in there— Hollywood though… POOF! You’re something else! Listen… American Idol is crap, but this guy is fun to watch, contorting around and freaking out. It’s… weird entertainment for me.
In other BOOB TUBE news.. the 90 minute Season Finale of the SHIELD is on tonight. THAT is my favorite friggin show, hands down. If you haven’t watched it, you should. Forest Whitaker is amazing on there this season… such a good actor, and he makes you just totally HATE him. He needs an Emmy for this one. That show is awesome how, you’re pretty much rooting for these crooked lying cops, and they even convince YOU they’re good guys. But the guy telling the truth, you just HATE. Weird man. — Alright. Done with this.
TV will rot your brain kids.

Nice cartoon.
Can’t watch AI here (Portugal, Europe) but I noticed the guy is a fenomenon.
By the way, “GRAY” links to “graycharles.com” but “CHARLES.COM” links to “charles.com”.
Just so you know…

When you said “Don’t do it Taylor!”, I imagined you sitting there squealing like a pre-pubescent girl. And that brought me great joy.

It sounds like you watch a lot of TV actually.
I’ve been cableless for 2 years now after previously being the insomniac guy that watches jeopardy at 7:30 and is still watching food network reruns of iron chef at 3am. When you go off of cable weird things start happening. You feel like you need its warmth. Like your missing out on some great secret that everybody else is in on. Then you stay at a hotel for a conference, watch some TV, and find out that it’s total shit these days if you don’t like cop/lawyer/doctor/’reality’ shows. Then you find it ironic that no one watching is on their way to becoming a lawyer or a doctor. They just want to be actors that play one.
It’s funny how Tephlon spells his name with a ‘ph’ when the actual substance is Teflon and then he goes and spells ‘phenomenon’ as fenomenon.
Is it some portuguese thing or some syndrome that causes this inversion? Is it a revolution of the letters? Some secret code? Am I crazy? Yes.

I think if my wife and I didn’t have kids, we probably wouldn’t even own a TV. Kids like Cartoons though, and it would be a sin to keep them from good cartoons and video games.

I agree with you man, i see no need for TV. I can buy the Sopranos on DVD. But… I’ve been out of work for amost a month and find myself watching the idiot box more than I should. American Idol has been a guilty pleasure mainly because of the “Crazy Gray Haired Guy.” Now I have an excuse to use. Thank you DJ.

I desperately need to cut down on my T.V. time. A.I. is one of my guilty pleasures as well. It’s on tonight 8pm/7 Central!!

I dont watch tv, i do watch tv shows though. And i prefer to download them, here is my reason, there is 20 minutes of ads in an hour, the network sells 20 minutes of MY time to some fuckers for like 70 cents an hour or some shit like that. My time is worth MORE than that. There should be an option to just pay that stupid 70 cents for any show that i want to watch it without the latest sphincster bleach ads. (I dont know what ads tvs play these days, havent watched one for a while)There is video google that offers me to sell my shows to me, but hey, wtf, its region coded, you cant download the new season’s ncis from there or anything for that matter if you live outside of the states. Cant even download the jessica simpsons out of lip synch video. Cunts. Torrents to the people!!!

D’oh! Blame it on sleep deprivation or something.
Or on the the fact that the portuguese write “fenomenão” and the dutch write “fenomeen” (I’m dutch, I just live here)

Ahhhh…ok.

I WOULD HAVE TO BE DRUNK TO TRY AND ACTUALLY WATCH THIS FOOL THROUGHOUT 3 ENTIRE SONGS. HOW ABOUT A NEW RULE? EVERYTIME TAYLOR GETS UP TO SING… YOU HAVE TO DRINK 1/2 A FIFTH. WHAT A LOSER! EVERYONE KNOWS CHRIS SHOULD BE THE AMERICAN IDOL. THIS SHOW IS A RIPOFF AND PERSONALLY… I’M DONE WITH IT. PEACE AND HAIR GREASE.
