So I sit down to read Kenneth Burke's
Counter-Statement and after TWO prefaces I decide I need to do something else. To the blogotorium!
Anyways, so I was visiting friends this weekend and there was one thing that consumed a great deal of our doings. While indeed we did spend a great number of hours playing a Call of Cthululhuluhhhully (sp?)
board game (omg so nerdy), I think this video may have been the focal point of the entire weekend.
Watched it? Good. So I watched this off
Boing Boing and as the video played I was trying to deduce what made him the worst DJ ever. Oh is it the drunk slurring about the conga? Oh, the music changed off the kookaronga (sp?) to Phil Collins and he doesn't do anything. But then all became clear... horribly clear.
This video fills me with questions.
- Does he shout "You wanna do it. Have a slice of wine!"? "Spice of lime"?
- Why does she just stand there? There is just zero reaction. Is this something that happens regularly? Has her soul just given up? Is she just so drunk that this seems normal?
- Does he know this woman at all? Maybe that's his significant other but I like to think that she's just a woman at the party who wants to request a song.
- The DJ just turns away from the woman with complete nonchalance, like he didn't just sexually assault a woman. Does he think he's in fact the GREATEST DJ EVER for his rockin boobongo solo? Like he has to play it cool?
- DID HE FINISH WITH A BACKHAND!?
Just crazy. Though this is
not the first time Phil Collins has surprised me.
P.S. As a side note, because of the controversy surrounding the pronunciation of Cththhululhhu (sp?), our friends now refer to the great old one as Kraft Dinner. I hope this will clear the issue up for all.
