Do not ask for whom the flaming chicken clucks

Wrote some last night--I had to push a little bit to keep going, which says to me that it wasn't a hypomanic episode or anything. Which is kind of encouraging, as it says that I can write whether I'm having moodswings or not. I'm going to start going on Lamictal sometime later this week, I think, so that'll be interesting.

The Flaming Chicken of Doom! I wasn't making it up!

Kevin Federline debuts his dope rhymes on the Teen Choice Awards. I think the swooping camerawork is supposed to distract us from how utterly whitebread he is. Also, I don't know what's up with all the fire, but it's a lot funnier if you imagine the Flaming Vendetta Chicken up there.

Thousands sing at "Idol" trial in Alabama: "More than 8,000 'American Idol' hopefuls auditioned for the hit talent show in Birmingham, Ala., on Monday, hoping to follow in the footsteps of two previous winners who hail from the southern city. Would-be pop stars from states as far flung as Virginia, Michigan and California attempted to sway producers in brief auditions. Monday's try-out was part of a series of nationwide events. Reigning champ Taylor Hicks comes from Birmingham, as does Ruben Studdard, winner of the show's second season in 2003." Which is not even to mention runner-up Bo Bice, who's been more successful so far than both of them put together. Once again: Alabama, the Center of the Universe. I'm not saying we deserve it; I'm just saying that we are.

A clip from Kids Incorporated that doesn't make a damn bit of sense. All I know is, my sister kept bombarding me with YouTube links last night, because she used to be obsessed with the show, and I put my foot down when she said there was a clip of them doing "Get into the Groove" ("Oh, hell no"). But she did make me watch this one. I know I saw Mario Lopez in there, and Sister Girl says that the little blonde in the stripes is Fergie. Yes, "Fergie of the Black-Eyed Peas" Fergie.

And then there's this, possibly explaining why Fergie turned out the way she did. As someone on Snarkfest noted, "No wonder she wets herself."

OMG, the flaming chicken is awesome. I kinda love it.

See? SEE?

Now I need to see this movie just so I can laugh when the "Beware the flaming chicken with bird flu! It will steal your cows and violate your women!!" part comes on.

Holy shit, I ADORED Kids, Inc. when I was little. I think I might have repressed that clown video because that is fucking freaky.

I think that Fergie clip may be the most disturbing thing I've seen all year.

Yeah...did you see Gaiman's comment (http://www.neilgaiman.com/journal/2006/08/about-to-launch-its-first-attack.html) (near the bottom of the post) about that issue? I just kind of wonder if it's strictly a hypomanic thing or at least in part a writer thing. I can't find it right now, but Dave Barry wrote something ages ago about how hard it is to be a humorist because you have to be funny even when you are not feeling in the least bit amused. (He put it better, of course.)

Local Dj's description of K-Feds performance.

I watched Kids Inc when they actually showed it on our local station-- and was absolutely SHOCKED to hear that Fergie was the little sister on the show.

WTF happened? Though some of the BEP's tunes are damn catchy.

Mario was on it- along with some other folks- the oldest girl went on to sing Toy Soldiers as Martika (I think) which was used by Eminem for a song not too long ago.

It is probably not very cool that it took me nine seconds with the Kids, Inc. clip to realize, Oh, that's when Renee got glasses and everyone was trying to make her feel better about them. Why they used "You Spin Me" to do so, I don't know.

that KIDS, INC stuff isn't even the most embarassing thing in Fergie's past. After the show, she formed a girl group with two other members from Kids, Inc called "Wild Orchid" Greg and I were big fans. The basic premise was the couldn't sing but were kinda hott in a slutty kind of way, in a genre of music I call "Titty Pop".

Man, I remember Wild Orchid. Kind of.

Wow, did I love Kids Incorporated. I think I started watching around the 5th or 6th season (sounds about the time I got into Full House and Care Bears), and I wanted to be on that show so bad. I didn't know Fergie was on it, though.

Alabama is the center of the universe? I thought Georgia was. ;)

Kids Inc. was all about Martika. :)

"We're Kids Incorporated, K-I-D-S!!" has been stuck in my head all afternoon!!!!

I work in a health center at a college, and right now our director has me doing all these copies of avian flu handouts for distribution. All I keep thinking while I'm standing idly at the copier is how badly I want to tack that flaming flu chicken picture on there and say "Screw you, bureaucracy, I can be irreverent when I wanna!"

omg omg now I'm watching Kids Incorporated clips and feeling like I'm 8 years old again. Thanks. ;)

First things first - the flaming chicken of doom is awesome.

Secondly, that clip of Fergie on Kids Inc is freakin' creepy. What is with the clown? And the broom? And someone please tell me that picture of her is photoshopped. If not, that is the most disgusting thing I've seen in a while.

BEEP BEEP FERGIE!

About a year ago, google images turned up a picture of a flaming chicken when you searched "avian flu." My friends and I liked it so much we made it our mascot for our group project.
