YouTube Schmaltz: Potter porn w/U2 soundtrack

By -
My wife insisted that I post this Harry Potter montage set to the tune of U2's "The Sweetest Thing". If you're a sucker for Potter cheese you might find it terribly endearing. I didn't care for it all that much.

(I found this on Crooks and Liars in a post about how conservatives are setting up their own version of YouTube because they think it's too liberal.)

I'm a Harry Potter fan (anxiously waiting for Book VII), but I am not persuaded that this montage is worthy of Internal Monologue.

However, seeing as how various other posts (Atheist Stripper of the Day?!) weren't worthy either, I won't object too loudly.

Maybe you should have a Greatest Posts compilation, including such timeless classics as "Coin Fight" and "Nostril Salsa." Yeah, those were the days, before IM sold out and went corporate... or something.

I'm glad you agree with me on the lameness of that montage.

But please, there have been no "Atheist stripper of the day" entries. There have been two Atheist of the Day entries that have been porn stars, which is a very different thing than a stripper. Although it's true that most porn stars start out as strippers (including the two featured on this blog, if their bios are to be believed), porn stars of the stature featured on Internal Monologue have advanced beyond mere stripperdom.

I've been thinking about an Internal Monologue's "greatest hits" post (or sidebar). Now that I've been blogging for over a year, there might be reason for such a compiliation. Yes, Internal Monologue has moved away from material like "coin fight" and "nostril salsa" in favor of more "Republicans looking stupid" You-Tube videos. Perhaps I should increase the frequency of creative writing entries, but I'm always stumbling on some outrage that needs to be blogged.

Snarking The Odyssey (with AD&D)

WARNING: Those of you who are accustomed to pithy political remarks here on Internal Monologue should brace yourselves for a major dose of gaming geekitude. Here's a link to one "Jamie R." who does a very snarky close reading of Homer's The Odyssey (HT: Mad Latinist via email). I've only read book 1, but it's pretty funny so far. An excerpt: Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men… Sooooo, he’s in charge, and everybody dies. Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero and his colossal failure. What? … for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever rea

Where is 56th and Wabasha? "Meet Me in the Morning" Dylan Mystery Solved

By -

Short version The lyric is not "Fifty-sixth and Wabasha", it is actually "Fifty-six and Wabasha", referring to the intersection of old Minnesota Highway 56 and Wabasha Street in Saint Paul, Minnesota. If you listen, you can hear Dylan sing "fifty-six", rather than "fifty-sixth", particularly on the take that was released as the B-side to "Duquesne Whistle". Minnesota Highway 56 no longer intersects Wabasha Street, but from 1963 to 1974 it did intersect Wabasha Street, at what is now (in Feb. 2021) the intersection of George Street and Cesar Chavez Street in St. Paul, or possibly South Wabasha & Cesar Chavez.  Long Version "Meet Me in the Morning" is the first song on side two of Bob Dylan's celebrated 1975 album  Blood on the Tracks. In the opening lines of the song, according to the lyrics on Bob Dylan's official site (https://www.bobdylan.com/songs/meet-me-morning/), the narrator invites the listener to a rendez

Victim or perpetrator? How about both!

Remember in the movie Adaptation , the main character's brother has this idea for a screenplay called The Three? It's about a detective trying to track down a serial killer before he kills his next victim. Pretty standard, right? The twist is that the detective, serial killer, and victim, are all actually the same person . Whoa, dude. Fight Club 's got nothin' on that one. Well, this isn't quite that weird. But apparently, Utah legal authorities are somewhat perplexed by a situation in which a 13-year-old girl and her 12-year-old boyfriend are both simultaneously the perpetrators and victims of the same crime: having sex with each other (HT: Feministing ): Utah Supreme Court justices acknowledged Tuesday that they were struggling to wrap their minds around the concept that a 13-year-old Ogden girl could be both an offender and a victim for the same act - in this case, having consensual sex with her 12-year-old boyfriend. The girl was put in this odd position be
