Happy #Fake Pattys Day! 

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @SaintPepsi & @JFuckingC

Today is an epic day for Manhattan, KS and it has nothing to do with sports or school pride but a green blight that has passed over the bar district. It's called Fake Patty's day and it is only celebrated in Manhattan, KS. Why would we celebrate a fake holiday you ask? Well even if you didn't ask I'm going to tell you. It's because most of the student's leave town for Saint Patty's day to go to Spring break. That's not true this semester, but the tradition has been established. An estimated 14,000 people will be in one city block. State troopers, local cops and rent a cops have been called in to curb the insanity. Me and James will do our best to document it all on our twitter accounts. @saintpepsi and @jfuckingc and also on facebook. Where ever you follow us you know you can live vicariously through our day of debauchery.  We have also summarized this blurb in an easy to watch video.

 

... and I definitely meant to say Talk Nerdy To Me, Lover dot com. It's cool - I'm excited, Jen will forgive me ... maybe. DOH!

Happy Fake Pattys Day, Everyone!!!

#TrueStory: I Hate Tarantino

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JFuckingC

First and foremost, I love movies.  A lot.  I worked at a dvd store just to talk shop to customers who also knew their movie shit.  During trivia games, anytime a movie round comes up I get a cocky smirk on my face 'cause whoever i'm competing with that round is about to get seriously fucked up.  I LOVE movies, however I can not stand anything Quentin Tarantino has ever directed...because it's fucking bullshit.
 
People praise Tarantino for his writing talent and the edgy characters and their long winded dialogue.  Sure that's neat, he can write, i'm doing that write now (typing, really), in fact I've been able to write since I was a lil kid, hooray!  The problem I'm addressing is that every edgy and unique character that he writes sounds exactly like Tarantino, just outta' a different mouth, obviously.  (i'll get to the fact that i think he's a dirty sexual deviant later, lets go through his movies real quick for reference.)
  
Reservoir Dogs:  Six criminals, who are strangers to each other, are hired by a crime boss to carry out a diamond robberyGreat plot for a movie, everyone lovest a heist flick though no one ever sees the heist.  What we're treated to is a meeting in a diner where six foul mouthed strangers (who all speak like Tarantino) are bitching about Madonna.  Then after the shit hits the fan, we're treated to six more strangers now in a warehouse killing each other off slowly muttering even more Tarantino word vomit.  Best example, the diner:  "Lemme tell you what 'Like a Virgin' is about. It's all about this cooze who's a regular fuck machine, I'm talking morning, day, night, afternoon, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick."
 
Pulp Fiction:  For the most part this movie was pretty groovy, if only they'd left out Uma Thurman.  She brought nothing to this movie but it's a known fact that Tarantino has a serious obsession with her.  I did have a problem with his character in this movie complaining how "storing dead [black expletives] ain't his fuckin job", then it turns out he's married to a woman of color.  Kinda pissed me off, his double standard there.  The rape scene goes on longer than necessary (we're getting closer to his sexual issues), but those negative points aside, i will say this is his only movie I enjoyed.  I know this is a "I hate him piece", but...movin on.
 
Jackie Brown: This movie was ok.  I'll just leave it alone I guess, though i have lots to say...i'd rather not paint myself in such light.
 
Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2:  Kung-fu references aside, every damn character speaks the same! The Deadly Vipers, Bill, the pervert orderly and the sex offender (more sexual issues), all clearly sound like Tarantino is wearing different masks and just playing each character as himself.  Not good movies. "As I lay in the back of Buck's truck, trying to will my limbs out of entropy, I could see the faces of the cunts that did this to me and the dicks responsible"  Yo Tarantino, get the hell outta Uma's body!  ...ugh, even worse is he's working on a Vol 3...
 
Grindhouse:  Planet Terror was an amazing zombie movie for a few reasons such as Tarantino didn't write it, he didn't direct it, and he's killed while trying to rape a one legged stripper (sexual issues).  He DID direct/write Deathproof, and what a piece of shit that was.  A whole movie dedicated to a car chase, and not even a good one.  But we do get plenty more of his clever and colorful racial dialogue "Black men and a whole lota' mother fuckin' white men have had plenty fun adoring my ass. I don't wear their teeth marks on my butt for nothing."
 
Inglorious Basterds: I could go on scene for scene about why i didn't like this movie (other than Hitler bein gunned down beautifully) because this movie is just scene after scene of long winded boring needless dialogue.  If i'm gonna sit down and watch an alternate history about killing nazis than damnit the body count better be epic.  To his credit, he didn't do anything sexually perverse in this movie, but he did bore me to death, doesn't anyone else remember the scene with the Nazi officer on the farmstead drinking milk?  I dozed off there too.
 
I've been referencing a few times to what I believe is some form of perversion with this 'tard of a man, so here we go!

  1. Reservoir Dogs: "Her pussy should be Bubble Yum by now, but when this cat fucks her it hurts"
  2. From Dusk Till Dawn: his character often thinks the minor they've taken hostage is asking him to perform sexual acts on her, luckily he's killed after offering to buy a young boy a lap dance from a vampire stripper (awesome).
  3. Desperado:  He doesn't do anything sexual perverse, but he does joke about pissing all over the bar before getting shot in the face (awesome).
  4. Planet Terror: He's listed in the credits as "The Rapist", a role i'm sure he chose for himself if you haven't noticed the trend yet. "He's getting his dick wet, Sir."

 
So if i haven't made it clear yet, I dont' feel he's all that clever or a writer.  He enjoys making racial remarks in his movies that would make ME blush.  None of his characters ever discern themselves from each other, and with that fact...rewatch his movies and just imagine a bunch of Tarantino clones talking to each other and you'll get what I mean AND FINALLY, now that i've pointed out his interest in playing rapists/sexual predators it kinda speaks ill of his choice of roles.
 
But then again, maybe i'm wrong. Tweet me and lemme know what you think: @JFuckingC

James' News Years Resolution ... it's the 12th but better late than never! 

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JfuckingC

 

This handy lil list shoulda been written and posted at least 13 days ago but alas, I sometimes find myself both very lazy and/or very drunk.  Both of those things are awful qualities for someone wanting to write about making themselves better this year, but with no more excuses in my path I figure i better make with the resolving!

 

  1. Get Back in Shape - Resolving to "lose weight" hilariously understates the scope of the issue, considering the massive amount of hard work and lifestyle changes that are typically required to have any effect.  It's not like i'm fat or anything, but going from working out at least twice a day and jogging in the desert sun to sitting around Manhattan barstools pounding tallboys (lite beer!) wasn't the best thing for my wash board stomach.  I'll be back to "steal your girl" shape in no time.
  2. Replace My Stolen Video Games - Would this be considered a resolution or an investment against me getting back into shape?  Regardless a James NOT playing video games is like any other man NOT masturbating, it leads to a very irritable unfriendly husk of a man.
  3. My Zelda Half Sleeve - The time for more tattoos is THIS YEAR!  The plan was always to add a Legend of Zelda half sleeve to my right arm (because Metroid would be TOO nerdy), so i'm thinkin the triforce, and some characters battling.  Super baller, I know.
  4. Family - Here's a shocker, this is to spend LESS time with my family.  I'm notorious for ruining family holidays and functions due in part to me speaking the truth or drinking mind numbing amounts of alcohol and THEN speaking the truth.  Fact: I only attended Christmas this year 'cause a lil cousin guilted me into going by saying "he really misses cousin James and wishes there'd be a guy there to play with him this holiday."  Apparently this lil shit has been reading my book on How To Lie to People...
  5. Negative Habits (cough cough/hint hint) - A few years ago I resolved to start smoking MORE pot, and then quit altogether.  This year i've taken a step back, looked inward, and decided to stay the course on all substance abuse.  As I tweeted once "When I don't do the wrong thing people are disappointed."
  6. Paint a New Beer Pong Table - Well, I could paint anything really, but why not make a masterpiece out of something that everyone enjoys.  Maybe build a sick drinking apparatus while i'm at it....
  7. Career - "IS THERE A JOB OUT THERE THAT WILL PAY ME DECENT AND MAKE ME NOT WANNA KILL MY COWORKERS?!?!" screams the dust in the universe.
  8. Dating - A few years ago I also wrote that I should consider going on more dates, maybe even CONSIDER getting a girlfriend, but that's total horseshit.  Stay the course James Leslie...  Though the one socially responsible thing I have been practicing for my own sanity is just weeding crazy bitches out of my life, for good.  I've been going with the "One Strike and You're Fucking Dead To Me" approach, very Texan I know, but it's the only thing that states got goin for it.

See you in 2012!

Strip Club Etiquette from a #Vegas Local

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @jfuckingc

 

"hey james, what are ya up to?"
"i'm dying from friction burn against my zipper, what do you think??"


for starters, no one plans to go to a strip club early in the evening (except me) so to shine some light on the subject, here we go.

1.  Pre Party.
most strip clubs are pretty god damned pricy.  from the get go i recommend either drinking prior to or going to a local familiar place where you can get a good deal on booze and taking extreme advantage of the situation.  and by "extreme advantage of the situation," i'm talking drink so much liquor your central nervous system is having a hard time keeping up with things you learned from the first grade.

2.  Smoking
smoking is gross and unforgivable, if you ask me.  i am not a smoker, however any club/bar/whatever that offers hookah at a reasonable price you should jump on like a fat kid on a cupcake.  "why should i do this?  you just said smoking is gross, stupid ass!"  well, the plus side to getting your own hookah at a strip club is the fact that every semi naked broad in the joint wants to sit on your lap and vacation in flavor country.  this may in fact seem kinda gross and invasive, but any club worth their salt will offer personal mouth pieces per person smoking on said hookah.  and with that said, always choose Double Apple flavor, as that shit will seriously fuck you up and make you wonder why you're feet aren't touching the floor (trust me, you're touching the floor, you only feel like you're flying, this feeling will pass after an hour...or two, who knows).

3.  Drinks
strip clubs are expensive as fuck.  "$15 a redbull/vodka?? you've gotta be fist fucking me son!!!"  avoid all drink prices.  you didn't come to a strip club to voice just how much money you're made of because even if you can afford the retarded ass drink prices, the waitress isn't gonna tell the stripper you've been eye-fucking how much money you're worth.  the ideal plan is to find a strip club that offers free liquor all night as long as you're a local (god i love Vegas when it comes to this).  "hell yeah i'd like a double, here's you're dollar tip, keep 'em coming, and don't bother me with anything else."

4.  Strippers
you didn't actually come for free booze (well, really i did, but hotties walkin round in porn attire is a pretty good bonus).  at some point some broad is gonna drop down on your lap like a dream come true and then speak a few dreaded words "hey sweetie, do you wanna dance?"  .... well hell fuckin yes i wanna dance, but i'm not here to spend $20 god damned dollars for you to grind your vag on me for 3 god damned minutes hooker!!  let some broad with daddy issues drop down on your lap (trust me, they will, you don't even need to grab their attention) and wait for them to advance with the "do you want a dance, sweetie?"  act like a stupid broke asshole.  "a dance?  i just got here.  maybe after i finish this drink.  what's your name? (you don't care) blah blah blah (you still don't care)"  trust me, this formula will work.

...ideally, you wanna treat dancers droppin down on your lap like a speed dating session without actually learning their actual names, phone numbers, interests, etc.

"speed dating??"  hells fuckin yeah.  strip clubs are the ideal speed dating locale if you're a dude (or the most awesome woman on the planet),  50% of the time you're gonna meet the hottie who has no problem talking to you while she wears a g-string, talking about her favorite movies, music, and if you're lucky (me, what up!) video games.

5.  Fail
sounds dumb and shallow (trust me, it is) but if you follow my shallow dumb advice, you'll have no problem meeting women who wear less than the pretend girlfriend you tell your friends you have.

after a few hours of this, you'll either be so dumbfounded from drinking double whiskey waters and rockin' hookah smoke (me) that even if you don't meet the dancer of your dreams (not me) that you'll leave and be hungry enough to drive to the local Denny's (me, sometimes) that you'll probably hit on the waitress bringing you bottomless coffee and still have a good fucking Wednesday night.

this has been speed dating/stripper pick up advice from a local expert, if you have any questions...slam a few 40's and send me any further questions ;)
