I dated this girl for awhile. One of the prettiest girls I've ever dated in my life. Pret-&lt;em&gt;tay&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fine&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;! The kinda fine where I was like, "What is your fine ass doing with me?" The answer? Not much. She broke up with me soon after. In a written letter. Don't feel bad for me. I got her back by rapping Public Enemy lyrics through my tears on the walk home:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I got a letter from the government the otha' day!"&lt;br /&gt;"It said this fine ass girl don't wanna see me no more."&lt;br /&gt;"Sob &lt;em&gt;sob &lt;strong&gt;sobbing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's nothing quite like rejection especially when you're reading it to yourself. Your own voice telling you that you don't want to be with you. I've since learned to read rejection letters with Della Reese's voice in my head. Della Reese telling you that it ain't gonna work out is much easier to accept than your own. Relationships are not my forte. I'm so bad at getting in relationships with girls that if I make eye contact with one I just consider that dating. If she blinks that means it's over. She has a lazy eye? She's cheating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are some of the things that've caused the most fear in my life?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting on stage to tell jokes for the first time. I'd compare it to coming over to talk to the cool kids table in the lunch room but when you say hi projectile vomit comes out your mouth. Everybody stares at you and you think to yourself, "Shit I gotta try that again but better."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoping nobody would catch me trapped in a bathroom stall at church summer camp because I crapped my pants. &lt;strong&gt;I crapped my pants, people&lt;/strong&gt;. At a church fucking summer camp. You know in &lt;em&gt;Full Metal Jacket&lt;/em&gt; when Matthew Modine tells Adam Baldwin in his best John Wayne impression, "Well you can just eat the peanuts out of my shit." I could've provided more than enough said shit peanut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Report card pick up with my mom during 8th grade. Before Mike Tyson used "Welcome To The Terrordome" when he entered the ring to whup on that ass, Haugan Elementary would play it over the loudspeakers when they saw my mom entering the building.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaHyW2JsTgQ"&gt;Watching Garret Morris' death scene in The Stuff&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="408" height="250"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GaHyW2JsTgQ&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GaHyW2JsTgQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="408" height="250"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someday a change will come. If I ever meet Fear I plan on giving it a good "Fuck you!" to the face. On behalf of all of us. It's gonna be a good Jack Lemmon &lt;em&gt;Glengarry Glen Ross&lt;/em&gt; Kevin Spacey fucktastic scolding. Because someone needs to. You, I, we can't keep living our lives like this.

It's based on a comic book which I haven't read but I'm more a follower of comic book movies than of the actual comic. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Put&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; that witty sarcasm down comic book nerds! Sarcasm is for closers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My aforementioned logic (damn man I be dropping words like "&lt;em&gt;aforementioned"&lt;/em&gt; like &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Nino&lt;/span&gt; Brown be handing out turkeys!) looks like it's in my favor because this looks like a comic book come to life and I dig it! I hope the visual exclamation effects that are shown are part of the movie and not just there for some kind of trailer enhancement. I hope Edgar Wright knocks it out again with this one (if you don't like &lt;em&gt;Hot Fuzz&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;Shaun of The Dead&lt;/em&gt; I don't wanna see you no mo'!). And I &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;reeeeeeeally&lt;/span&gt; hope that's Anne Veal (her?) playing one of Ramona's evil exes &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;knockin&lt;/span&gt;' George Michael the fuck out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talk to this &lt;a href="http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/scott-pilgrim-vs-the-world/trailer"&gt;trailer&lt;/a&gt; then light up a &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;mayon&lt;/span&gt;-egg in Anne's honor. &lt;a href="http://www.scottpilgrimthemovie.com/"&gt;Scott Pilgrim vs. The World&lt;/a&gt;

My friend Paul likes to make the analogy that our lives can be viewed as one long television series in which you are the star and you have a recurring cast such as your freinds, occasional guest stars which usually consist of a guy or girl who you may be smitten (I just dropped the word smitten!) with at the time, and finally the daily adventures of your life which can be described as the episode. If we follow that analogy then consider this a crossover blog episode on "The Ricky Carmona Show!".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over at &lt;a href="http://www.isthatyourboy.com/"&gt;Is That Your Boy&lt;/a&gt; they've taken the "Hey Have You Seen That Trailer?" post idea and done something really cool with it. They've taken the original trailer to "Clash of The Titans" from 1981 and re-cut it as a shot for shot remake of the upcoming 2010 "Clash of The Titans" trailer. Check out the trailer below cut by Paul Miglio courtesy of www.isthatyourboy.com:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;em&gt;So here is my interpretation of the new Clash of the Titans trailer with old footage.

Does that make sense? I am excited to see Jeff Bridges, &lt;em&gt;excuse me, Academy Award winning actor Jeff Bridges allow me to get that dirt off your shoulders son!&lt;/em&gt; I am excited to hear Daft Punk's soundtrack. And 3D! I haven't been this excited to watch a movie in 3D since-....well shit since &lt;em&gt;Avatar&lt;/em&gt;! Am I excited for the story of &lt;em&gt;TRON &lt;/em&gt;though? Not really. I wasn't a huge fan of the original &lt;em&gt;TRON&lt;/em&gt;. I loved the light cycle sequence, I was into their crazy future version of electro-frisbee, and if you can pull off a neon glowing suit you got some style but once the story started I was out. I got that same scary feeling after watching this trailer. Get rid of that opening dialogue sequence and get us in the computer world! Quit jibba-jabbing! I don't want to hate on this too early. I'll relax. I'll give &lt;em&gt;TRON&lt;/em&gt; the benefit of the doubt.&lt;br /&gt;Hey quick question, is the lead in this movie the kid from &lt;em&gt;Four Brothers&lt;/em&gt;? I hope so cause that's going to give me time to bust out my world famous Mark Wahlberg "I wanna know who killed my moms!" &lt;em&gt;Four Brothers&lt;/em&gt; impression.

It's pretty solid. &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://disney.go.com/tron/"&gt;TRON Legacy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; starring Academy Award winner Jeff Bridges and that one brother from &lt;em&gt;Four Brothers&lt;/em&gt; opens in theaters on December 17, 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="408" height="250"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/19414"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/19414" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="408" height="250"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get at me on that Twitter by clicking right &lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com/RickyCarmona"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1465908208702472169-8879199803372466660?l=rickycarmona.com%2Fblog.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1465908208702472169/8879199803372466660/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rickycarmona.com/2010/03/hey-have-you-seen-new-tron-legacy.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1465908208702472169/posts/default/8879199803372466660'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1465908208702472169/posts/default/8879199803372466660'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rickycarmona.com/2010/03/hey-have-you-seen-new-tron-legacy.html' title='Hey Have You Seen The New Tron Legacy Trailer?'/><author><name>Ricky Carmona</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10367724442353017249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01819211025822135048'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465908208702472169.post-1073752720154293339</id><published>2010-03-15T10:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-15T10:43:11.871-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I'll Punch A Predator In The Throat.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://rickycarmona.com/uploaded_images/Predator-709089.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 362px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://rickycarmona.com/uploaded_images/Predator-709032.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're not a citizen of the Nerd-iverse then you're probably not aware that they're making a new &lt;em&gt;Predator&lt;/em&gt; movie called &lt;em&gt;Predators&lt;/em&gt;. Well they are. It's not a remake. It's a prequel. This one's for all of you who watched the first &lt;em&gt;Predator&lt;/em&gt; and couldn't stop thinking, "Wait a minute. Who done the Predator wrong that it's going around acting like this is acceptable behavior? What is his motivation for ripping spines out, shankin' Carl Weathers, and calling us one ugly muddafuhcka?". Well your questions will finally be answered people.  I have some questions after watching this sneak peek footage:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The director of this movie is named Nimrod Antal. Why is your name Nimrod bro? Can I trust you? &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Is Laurence Fishburne channelling the spirit of Bill Duke? Did the whole cast get told to get in shape except Laurence Fishburne? "Hey everybody get ripped. Except you Laurence, you get hungry." &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Is that Shane aka "Teeth" aka "Cleetus Van Damme" from &lt;em&gt;The Shield&lt;/em&gt;? Word! Family Meeting!!! &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Will we ever see the famed deleted scene from the original &lt;em&gt;Predator&lt;/em&gt; where Carl Weathers explains to Schwarzenegger to "save them human bones cause then you got yourself a stew baby!". &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;We'll see if any and or all of these questions get answered. For now enjoy the sneak peak to &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.predators-movie.com/"&gt;Predators&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="408" height="250"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/19594"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/19594" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="408" height="250"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The official &lt;em&gt;Predators&lt;/em&gt; trailer will be released March 18th.

Here's me right now realizing I'm 10+ years late on a particular Irish band's album.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ME&lt;/strong&gt;: Hey you like U2? I just heard that &lt;em&gt;Zooroopa&lt;/em&gt; album. Man they got like a brand new sound on that one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OTHER PERSON&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;em&gt;(walks away).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;REALIZATION: It's March! Are you ready for &lt;em&gt;Maaaaaaaaaaarch MADNESS!?!&lt;/em&gt; Actually I'm not. I'm not interested at all. Why is it whenever March Madness is talked about it's always being screamed about? On television, in conversation, even when I read it in print the voice I hear in my head is the Headmaster of the New York School for the Hard of Hearing Garret Morris cupping his hands around his mouth and yelling "ARE YOU READY FOR MARCH MADNESS!!!". Or I'm tied to a tree and some guy is standing 15 feet away on a pitcher's mound with a bucket full of magazines and each page in the magazine has the same 5 words typed in it over and over again: &lt;em&gt;Are You Ready For March Madness!!!&lt;/em&gt; Jack Torrance stands there and just whips those magazines at me with his best Mitch Williams style fastball.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;REALIZATION: I tried an experiment at home with surprising results. I watched Memento while listening to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and my weed exploded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;REALIZATION: I need new headshots. Apparently the one below is being deemed as "inappropriate and unacceptable":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://rickycarmona.com/uploaded_images/New-Headshot-760114.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://rickycarmona.com/uploaded_images/New-Headshot-759676.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; I'd buy a McRib off that guy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;REALIZATION: I'm in Milwaukee, WI right now. Sitting in a coffee shop. I'm looking out the window seeing the avenue and realizing that I'm surrounded by Milwaukee hipsters. Coincidentally, I live in Logan Square on Milwaukee Avenue where I am also surrounded by hipsters. What does this mean? Hipsters &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ME: Can I talk about hipsters for a second?&lt;br /&gt;OTHER PERSON: &lt;em&gt;(walks away).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ME: Alright well what about people who complain about hipsters?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate people who complain about hipsters and here's why. You don’t hate hipsters. you hate what they remind you of, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;you son!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; "You know what it is bro? I hate their skinny jeans, their horn rimmed glasses, t-shirts, and their music"---oh quit crying already you 33 year old grandma! I hate to blow up your revisionist history bubble but our Navajo plaid hoodies, pulled down ball caps, ski goggles, Doc Martens and size 38 denim Girbuads weren’t lighting the world on fire. There should be one day of the year where we’re all forced to wear what we wore in high school for one day. We’ll call it Whoopsie Day! I’ll go first. I’ll have a pair of shiny leather black shoes with silver steel plated rimmed toes, purple red and orange multicolored overall shorts, (one shoulder unhooked) and a navy blue denim long sleeve shirt. I look like Theo Huxtable and an In Living Color Fly Girl had a baby in the back of an Oaktree. The only thing we have hipsters beat on is music. 90’s hip hop is our generations 70’s rock. It’s gonna live on forever. We’re gonna be old men in our 70’s and someone is gonna play Tribe's "&lt;em&gt;Scenario&lt;/em&gt;" at the old folks home and half of us still are gonna have the strength to throw our canes in the air and yell:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Rowr Rowr like a dungeon dragon.&lt;br /&gt;Change ya’ lil draws cause your pants are saggin!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t hate hipsters. Accept the fact that you’re getting old and you’re just not that relevant anymore. It’s okay. Turn up that Pharcyde album, let's smoke some weed while we watch &lt;em&gt;Reservoir Dogs&lt;/em&gt; and yes yes yes you were never a hipster. Why would I ever think that.&lt;br /&gt;And hipsters? Real quick. Do me a favor. &lt;strong&gt;Smile every once in a fucking while will you?&lt;/strong&gt; It's okay. Whatever is going on trust me, it's gonna be okay. I like to walk around the boulevard with my dog and when we smile at you don't look at us like we just asked you for the fucking rent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FINAL REALIZATION: I can't just mention Tribe's "&lt;em&gt;Scenario&lt;/em&gt;" and then not have it readily available for enjoyment. Everything should always end with "&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFZLq6R-ZtM"&gt;Scenario&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;".

I Thought You Were Dead.</title><content type='html'>I love John Carpenter. Early John Carpenter circa late 1970s-1980's. I always feel obligated to say that.  He's like Stevie Wonder where you have to make the distinction of which era you were a fan of.  Stevie's Innervisions: Solid! Stevie's Secret Life Of Plants:  Ooooooph.  Carpenter made some of my favorite movies in the 80's including &lt;em&gt;Big Trouble In Little China, The Thing, They Live&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Escape From New York*&lt;/em&gt;. All classics to this day that still hold up and still garner (I just dropped the word "garner" son!) repeat viewings. All that being said I still wish some were handled better than others. Most notably, I think John Carpenter dropped the ball on the Snake Plissken/Escape series.

It will do you no harm. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do it.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; If unknown to your control you got a lip curl and your smile went from ear to ear then you just got Funk Face.

It's your wife's head bro. It's always gonna be her head. &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What's the difference between these two men? This ain't no LOST Jacob/Man In Black type decision. It's funk or be funked. Lifestyles. Outlooks. If you’re a fan of Bootsy then the funk has been bestowed upon you. You’ve been wiiiiiiiiinded up and you will funk away to Chocolate City, Population: Horny Horns and 100% Funkateers. If you’re a fan of Brad Pitt then you’re waiting for a box in an open country field. "What's in the box?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 252px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 315px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://rickycarmona.com/uploaded_images/Brad-2-738758.jpg" /&gt; &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Brad!&lt;/em&gt; Bro I told you already.

Follow him now at @Bootsy_Collins. His latest update as of this morning:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Going to LA Mon. to put Sly Stone, George Clinton, and yes Samuel L. Jackson on&lt;br /&gt;the new "Boot-Z-Class" Album. Ahh Funk Me!&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now who do you want on your side? Someone made out of &lt;em&gt;14CaratGFunkRockStarDollWhoComesEquippedWithStereophonicFunk-ProducinDiscoInducingTwinMagneticFunkReceptors&lt;/em&gt; or someone who wants to know "What's in the fuuuuuuckin' box?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://rickycarmona.com/uploaded_images/Seven-721690.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 263px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://rickycarmona.com/uploaded_images/Seven-721687.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask me again Brad. &lt;em&gt;Ask me one mo' a'gin&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When’s the last time you felt really close to Brad Pitt? The only way I could get close to him is if I put myself up for adoption in Africa. Shit if Madonna hasn’t picked me yet why would Brangelina? Ahhh yes. That name. "Brangelina". That name is unacceptable. The first time I heard that I said "Who and what is that?" When they told me it was a name for Brad Pitt I immediately thought what a lot of you probably did, "somebody should put his wife's head in a box." Here's what I wanted Brad to do. I wanted him to call a press conference and say, "Thank you all for coming here today. First things first, anybody who calls me Brangelina I will punch you in the throat, force you to watch &lt;em&gt;The Mexican&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Mr. &amp;amp; Mrs. Smith&lt;/em&gt;, then cut off your loved one's head and send it to myself standing in an open field. And my apologies to everyone for &lt;em&gt;Meet Joe Black&lt;/em&gt;. Now which one of you beeetches got something to say?". Shit Brad show up on Charlie Rose and if he brings up Brangelina bust out your best Jim "Don't Call Me Chris" Everett impression and jump across that table like Charlie was Jim Rome himself and get to whupping on that ass. Shit this is too negative. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bootsy! Funk Face &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Three. Wiiiiiiiiiiiind it up! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://rickycarmona.com/uploaded_images/Funk-Face-2-702870.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 352px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://rickycarmona.com/uploaded_images/Funk-Face-2-702868.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not allow no one to step on your funk. Funk is it's own reward and all those who play with it are sure to master it. I belong to the nation where it's okay for someone to tell me they want to "put it in my earhole" as long as they're wearing a red, white, and blue sequin suit, star rimmed glasses, and 12in. heels. You can either live your life with someone like that on your side or someone who spent too much time trying to look like a pretty Serpico. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://rickycarmona.com/uploaded_images/Brad-744989.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://rickycarmona.com/uploaded_images/Brad-744956.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Didn't no one ever try and put Serpico's wife's head in no box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmNegOg6dOM"&gt;Follow the ways of the funk&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="408" height="250"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KmNegOg6dOM&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KmNegOg6dOM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="408" height="250"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDdN_b6TjYo"&gt;Or follow this guy&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="408" height="250"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VDdN_b6TjYo&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VDdN_b6TjYo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="408" height="250"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of them will do you no harm.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1465908208702472169-285301727946210414?l=rickycarmona.com%2Fblog.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1465908208702472169/285301727946210414/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rickycarmona.com/2010/03/bootsy-brad-and-muthafunkin-box.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1465908208702472169/posts/default/285301727946210414'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1465908208702472169/posts/default/285301727946210414'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rickycarmona.com/2010/03/bootsy-brad-and-muthafunkin-box.html' title='Bootsy, Brad, And A Muthafunkin&apos; Box.'/><author><name>Ricky Carmona</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10367724442353017249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01819211025822135048'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465908208702472169.post-8206364160903730243</id><published>2010-03-06T14:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-06T15:12:55.258-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Going Green</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://rickycarmona.com/uploaded_images/Dirty-Water-(2)-767765.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://rickycarmona.com/uploaded_images/Dirty-Water-(2)-767087.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;How we doing!

Just as Moses ascended the rooftops during the Civil War and set the Olympians free so now do I tell you to take off them chains and live your life to the fullest with the glory of &lt;em&gt;The McRiBacon!. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For a special unlimited time pay an extra 8 bucks and you will receive your very own customized tongs and personalized platinum champagne bucket so you can dip, dunk, and alley-oop that bad boy into your McChampagne McRibBaconBucket as much as you want at the comfort of your own chair. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3 things to note when eating &lt;em&gt;The McRiBacon!&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. &lt;em&gt;The McRiBacon!&lt;/em&gt; can only be eaten while listening to &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoUVPXxlvmY"&gt;"Bustin' Loose" by Chuck Brown &amp;amp; The Soul Searchers&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="408" height="250"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hoUVPXxlvmY&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hoUVPXxlvmY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="408" height="250"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;em&gt;The McRiBacon!&lt;/em&gt; is a dine in item only due primarily to public health code violations but&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; more importantly &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;for maximum enjoyment it can only be eaten in the "Court's Chamber!" dining room(**). Here you will be fitted and dressed as a judge before you take your seat at your own personal chamber table so that no one can judge you while you eat. Instead you get to judge all those who deny themselves the glory of &lt;em&gt;The McRiBacon!&lt;/em&gt;. In ya' mouf.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(**surgeons are always on duty in the "Court's Chamber!")&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. You only receive the McChampagne McRibBaconBucket when ordered as its full Christian name. No abbreviations are allowed when ordering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://rickycarmona.com/uploaded_images/mcdonald-large-kid-750701-736062.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN:
