The Return Of Mechasmack

So HBO continues their barrage of the Star Wars movies in HD. I haven't seen Return Of The Jedi in a few weeks and there's no cartoons on Saturday morning anymore so what's a brother to do? I am always amused by the scene in Jabba's palace where Lando reveals himself to the camera. Like we couldn't tell who he was with his face partially covered. He's the only brother in the OT! And that always reminds me of my favorite Kevin Smith clip:

"What's a nubian?" Ahh, cracks me up every time.

Hey Mr. Tough
Don't you think we've suffered enough?
Why don't you meet me on the dancefloor
When it's time-to-time time?
And if you need to tell me something once
You won't have to say it twice
And if you ask for a nickel
I'm gonna hand you a dime
And we'll forget about our problems at home
For a little while
And leave our worries in the corner
Leave them in a big big pile
Pretend everything can be alright

Hey Mrs. Blue
Time to think of something new
We pause from spinning our hits
The old soft shoe
And if you wanna lose the rest of the night
There's nothing better I have to do
And if I tell you something
You won't have to ask if it's true
And we'll forget about our problems at home
For a little while
And leave our worries in the corner
Leave them in a big big pile
Pretend everything can be alright

Alone and uptight
On a Saturday night
?? by the room
I'm hiding in a crowded party
The records playing
For just me and you

Hey Mr. Tough
Don't you think we've suffered enough?
Why don't you meet me on the dancefloor
When it's time-to-find-it time?
And if you need to tell me something once
You won't have to say it twice
And if you ask for a nickel
I'm gonna hand you a dime
And we'll forget about our problems at home
For a little while
And leave our worries in the corner
Leave them in a big big pile
Pretend everything can be alright
Pretend everything can be alright
Pretend everything can be alright

Yo La Tengo - Mr. Tough

The crew has been holding it down at TarBar for the past couple of weeks. It's been fun, and exhausting. I might have to see if I can telecommute every Thursday cuz it's rough getting up after being out so late on a school night. Plus I'm missing Lost and somebody and work might blurt something out and make me hurt them. Actually it's not that big a deal. That show has been stringing us along too much lately.

So if you can muster up some strength to make it to Lincoln Square on a Wednesday night, the crew starts spinning around 9:30. TarBar is located at 4662 N. Halsted in Chicago.

This commercial wouldn't be nearly as funny without the accent. It might be politically incorrect, but you're too busy looking at the stripes to think about that.

This is funny too:
