Should you see Team America?? FUCK YEAH!!

So yesterday I went and saw Trey Parker and Matt Stone's epic puppet Bruckheimer-esque fuck you to all things sacred and holy (and therefore annoying) about the U.S.A, Team America: World Police. Oh my dear lord it was funny. I went with Hoff, who enjoys a good comedy as much as anyone I know, and man oh man did we laugh our asses off. TA: WP, much like Trey and Matt's brilliant series/movie South Park, is an equal opportunity offender, aiming square at the foreheads of left and right alike, Christian and Muslim, gay and straight, you name it, they hope to lampoon it. And for the most part they succeed. Their biggest success is in both imitating and mocking the Jerry Bruckheim/Michael Bay school of film, where the plot takes the back seat to epic explosions and musical scenes that might as well be music videos themselves. As proven in the South Park movie, Trey Parker is a musical GENIUS who can write musical satire that hits home even harder than their writing can. Take the following lyric from TA's 'theme song', "America, FUCK YEAH" that plays as they fly to attack and destroy their enemy (and most likely the majority of the city around them as well):

America FUCK YEAH
Comin' again to save the motherfuckin day yeah
America FUCK YEAH....freedom is the only way yeah
terrorists your game is through
cause now you have to answer to
America FUCK YEAH!
So lick my butt and suck on my balls
America FUCK YEAH

F-ing brilliant. Now, you might have noticed that I haven't mentioned anything about the fact that this movie is made entirely with puppets. There's a reason for that.....because it RULES. Actors couldn't have pulled off the emotion that the puppets can in this movie (and who do you really think is a better actor, Ben Affleck, or a piece of wood controlled by strings?? Yeah, I thought so.) Anyways, I've gone on enough. GO SEE THIS MOVIE.

Stupid Liver!! *PUNCH*

Well, yesterday was the 6th Annual Pub Mosey, which was started by my good friend and co-worker Mark Anderson (he's on the left). As you can see by their informative and oh-so-blue website, this is a pub crawl in Nordeast Minneapolis where the participants are to go to 14 bars in 14 hours, and have a drink at each establishment. Well, I was there at the first bar at noon, and made my less than graceful exit at about 11:30, after hitting all the bars (even one extra) and having a drink at all but 2. Yes, I knew my limits. Needless to say I felt a bit like hell this morning, but it was a grand time. It was especially nice to get to hang with AGD and Dunoop and Mark after their being at the Dulles colloquium. I missed them all like crazy, and it was wonderful to catch up with them. Yes, I was horrifically jealous that they got to go and I didn't this time, but hey, that's the way it goes, ja?
