Bicycle Bull Fight @ Choppercabras from rossangeles on Vimeo.

easily my new favorite video
i already love these people
is this to good to be true...

rock on toledo

wesley willis is something of an annomolly
rapper, country music singer songwriter, amazing artist,
fast food aficionado

 

i had the great privilege to go bowling with wesley,

kim, and chris (the filmmakers of a documentary on wesley)

in longmont colorado in 2001

i also saw him in concert in boulder and was touched by his 

ability to cut through the bullshit we all expect from each other

while talking and interacting 

he latched right onto me and made me go through the process

of reciting what he says...

"say rock"  "say roll"

followed by a series of headbutts...

scary at first but afterwards when you're in his world

its very very gratifying

just saw a comment on a bike forum about a viewing

of the documentary in chicago

blog about the film     HERE

collection of his art     HERE

i'll leave you with my favorite lyrics of his that he read to me at the bowling alley

Suck a polar bear's funky ass!
Suck a racehorse's cock with Heinz Tomato Ketchup!
Suck a donkey's shitty ass!
Suck a male camel's dick with Hoisen sauce!

Suck a cheetah's dick
Suck a cheetah's dick
Suck a cheetah's dick
Suck a cheetah's dick

Suck a European bison's smelly ass!
Suck a woolly mammoth's dick with Miracle Whip!
Suck a snow leopard's ass with whip cream!
Suck a hyena's spermy dick!

Suck a cheetah's dick
Suck a cheetah's dick
Suck a cheetah's dick
Suck a cheetah's dick

Suck a llama's shitty asshole!
Suck a panda bear's spermy nutsack!
Suck a sloth bear's bootyhole!
Suck a greyhound's musty ass, mothafucka!

Suck a cheetah's dick
Suck a cheetah's dick
Suck a cheetah's dick
Suck a cheetah's dick

bike kill update 2

VIMBY - Bike Kill

i'm just going to relay this just how i found it

"This photo from yesterday's comments clearly depicts McCain "killin' it" and proves he does indeed have "mad skillz." It also proves he looks a lot like the Emperor from "Star Wars." Personally, I'd have been even more impressed if he'd pulled this move on the Obama bike. Obama would most assuredly have been "sonned." "

^ ripped directly off from bsnyc^

if you don't know bike snob nyc

please please please
holy fuck this video is amazing!

wow

although i don't talk about it much on here

and in no way does my puncuation reflect it

i'm really a book nerd/snob
worked in two book stores
and have read religiously
since i was seven or so
which is why i'm really excited about this

google has been downloading 3000 books a day for this project

the only problem is they never had permission...
blah blah blah..
so they paid 125 million to the authors guild
and everythings hunky-dory
