Sorry, Wrong Pants #18 - Going Commando

I saw X-Men: First Class over the weekend, and it is now my favourite out of all the X-Men movies. Why? Because it didn't feel like a "typical" X-Men movie or a "typical" superhero/comic book movie. Instead, I daresay that First Class felt almost James Bond-ish in its presentation. No, seriously, the movie takes place in '68 during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the social commentary on the world at the time is hilarious (and so sexist at times... and one blatantly racist edit.) Oh yeah, and mutant super powers, Kevin Bacon, etc.

There were a couple of cameos in the movie that I thoroughly enjoyed ("Go f- yourself" was great), including a cameo/minor part by Michael Ironside, who plays a small role as a Navy Captain. I kind of equate Ironside as playing the even more manly and legitimate Ron Swanson. Where Ron Swanson (or, um, Nick Offerman) is manly man but over-the-top in execution, Michael Ironside and every part he plays is spot on MAN. He's always a military commander who takes charge of the situation, and his every entrance requires full orchestral fanfare.

Not to mention he's played Naval officers (Top Gun, X-Men: First Class), submarine captain (SeaQuest 2032), squadron leader (Starship Troopers)... yeah he's badass.

Also, his last name is IRONSIDE. Come on. The guy grew up knowing he could kick ass.

The second result for the Google Image Search of "Who is Shawty?"

Ever run out of steam?

Now that's a funny phrase "run out of steam". I know that it's referring to old steam locomotives, but when exactly did that cross over to mean that a person has run out of energy? When someone is tired, you never hear them say, "Oh man, I'm melting down" or "Somehow there's no water flowing through my turbines today" or even "My solar panels are covered in dust and are unable to capture the full potential of energy from the sun."

In retrospect, yeah, it does make sense. Nevermind then, carry on.

Late Night Knickers

Wrong Yatta.

Kids, I've been on the internet a long time. A long time. A very, very long time, from a century far far away. I remember watching viral videos before the term was coined. I remember watching video online before the proliferation of flash. RealPlayer, Shockwave, Quicktime plugins were all normal things to have installed in Firebird. To share things with your friends, you'd remember a random combination of keywords to type into Google or Yahoo to find a specific hilarious item, and call your classmates to your computer to check out these hamsters dancing to crappy MIDI music. Back in the day, we didn't have a Facebook, Tweeter, Tumblr, Digg, Reddit, or any of these services to share these things. Our social network was shoe-powered.

Props to Tumblr friend Pam for posting a single frame from one of the first "viral videos" I remember watching around 10 years ago or so. I don't know which one of my friends stumbled upon this, or even how, but it happened. Oh, did it happen.

I present to you, Yatta.

Important Announcement!

All links posted by The Jeggings Blog will now be shortened, for your Tweeter convenience, using the bieber.ly URL shortening service.

Carry on.

The MEN choose where to lunch

  • Today, Scott and Tommy were trying to figure out what to do for lunch. For some reason, simply talking over the cubicle walls was too much work, so the discussion took place on Facebook. What actually happened could never have been predicted.
