<p>We all know the October is the best month of the year and is best celebrated with awesome movies.  Considering that Halloween is waiting at  day 31, makes it the SPOOOOOOOKY month.  So what are you gonna watch?  The same old flicks that come on the tele every Halloween?  No!  You <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">should</span> <strong>will</strong> watch the following for week one (yes I know this is coming a bit late).  To start off we will do the JC run..that&#8217;s right John Carpenter.  So your requred watching for this week is:</p>
<p>Big Trouble in Little China</p>
<p>The Thing</p>
<p>Prince of Darkness (alt. They Live, since <em>Prince</em> can be hard to find)</p>
<p>In the Mouth of Madness</p>
<p>It should also be noted that The Thing, Prince of Darkness and In the Mouth of Madness are the three films that compose John Carpenter&#8217;s Apocalypse Trilogy, which make them especially good for the season!</p>

<p>That&#8217;s right 40 year of Awesome.  This Sunday, September 13th, 2009 is the 40th anniversary of Scooby-doo.  I don&#8217;t want to hear any haters out there saying the show sucks, that&#8217;s how motherfuckers get shot!  The show is full of teh w1n for  at least 2 reasons:</p>
<p>1. Daphne is the HAWTNESS</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-767" title="Daph Surf" src="http://phoenixmagoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Daph-Surf-300x225.jpg" alt="Daph Surf" width="210" height="158" /></p>
<p>2. It has provided children with a healthy dose of skepticism, and the idea that things are not always as they appear.  Not everything should be taken at face value and we need to use our brains and keen senses of observation to determine what is true and what is falsehood.</p>
<p>So please join me on Sunday (in spirit if not in person) and get down on watching some Scooby, preferably with Scooby Snax!!!</p>

<p>As we speak Mother Earth is currently waging an all out war on Science.  The Earth of course loves us, and wishes us to keep our feet and minds planted firmly in her fertile soil.  Which is why she is trying desperately to destroy the Hooker Telescope (waiting for giggles to stop&#8230;) atop Mt Wilson in Southern California.  What&#8217;s so important about this telescope you ask?  Well other than the fact that those things aren&#8217;t cheap,  the Hooker 100 inch is the telescope we used when we discovered the Universe was still expanding.  So not only is Hooker still contributing to our understanding of the the Universe, but it has Historical Significance as well!  Although many observatories are designed to be somewhat fire resistant, fire still has a way of destroying stuff.  So keep your fingers crossed!</p>

<p>i always thought madd was a solid, good intentioned, advocacy group. plus they always hand out rad pens and stress balls at any college or high school event. however, my opinion has now changed, check out this bullshit:</p>
<blockquote><p>MADD feels that &#8220;The combination of a roadway and advertising for any kind of a beer doesn&#8217;t make any kind of sense.&#8221;  [Source: <a title="Autoblog Article" rel="shadowbox" href="http://feeds.autoblog.com/~r/weblogsinc/autoblog/~3/4g3-TOMJtik/">Autoblog</a>]</p></blockquote>
<p>let&#8217;s say you are from a small town in ohio with a micro brew that names a beer after the exit number for your town. the exit number for you town is 81-A. you move to washington state, and are shopping in a whole foods. you see a label that says 81-Ale over a background image of the state of ohio. why wouldn&#8217;t you buy the beer? maybe you were beat up in high school, idk.</p>
<p>another example. in the metro dc area there is a micro brew named capital city. my favorite beer at <a rel="shadowbox" href="http://www.capcitybrew.com/">capital city</a> is &#8220;<a rel="shadowbox" href="http://www.capcitybrew.com/palerider.php">pale rider ale</a>&#8221; and the motto for the beer is &#8220;hell on wheels.&#8221;  i think that is about 10x worse than the jersey turnpike brew mentioned in the autoblog article cited earlier.  AND! it&#8217;s also a mega tasty beer.</p>
<p>basically, if the branding and motto didn&#8217;t help sell the beer, then the name of the beer would of obviously been changed by now.</p>
<p>so MADD, a combination of a roadway (even driving) and advertising sell beer, and a business selling a product makes sense.</p>
<p>the end.</p>
