Q.S.L.S. Seeks Original Content On Blog to Overcome Viral Video Trap and Internet Meme Sanctuary

Hello Nation. In a bid to reinvigorate blog life, the Q.S.L.S. OCC (Original Content Committee) has decided to actively campaign for new, innovative, original, and comedic content surrounding the many fabulous leisure lives for which this great society is known for. From Coast to Coast to Coast in Canada (Burkey spends enough time in the Arctic), to continental europe, Asia, Australia, and other global forays around the world, our great nation has been spreading sweet leisure from Mountain Tops to barrelling waves, global metropoli to thick jungles as well as the most gentle and peaceful curves of the miramichi river.
Let's bust out original content surrounding leisure events in the lives of our members, and spread the sweet leisure for which we are famous. In order to accomplish this goal, the OCC has also been aware of barriers to original content, the biggest being access to posting on the blog. We have sent out author invitations to everyone we have found email addresses for. If you have not received an email invite to become an author on the site (must have a google account, very easy to get, and sign in) Please leave a comment with your email address and we will send you an invite.
Let's not ONLY be a platform for viral internet videos and memes, and lets foster some community vibes about what is happening in our lives. Blog On! QSLS OCC

Sunday Sexy Times - Mother's Day Edition

For the fellas, mother of twins Rebecca Romijn (Before and After):
For the ladies, here's a hunk of a stay at home dad, hard at work:

Message from Sponsor: Raleigh - Mild Taste


Go ahead ladies, you only live once - and what better way to enjoy a paddle down the river than the mild and refreshing taste of Raleigh cigarettes? While you're at it - I got something else smooth and mild for you to suck on, but that can wait until we get the tent set up. Don't forget about a nice, light Belair methol to brighten your day after taking one too many shuttlecocks to the face during our 'badminton' session. Sincerely - Red Skelton

Tuesday's Tunes (Posted on Wednesday)

Here is another video from Juan Rayos, the director who's style I would like to copy. What you must pay particular attention to however, is the song, At Home, by a Madrid via london rock/electronica outfit which pieces together a really worthwhile composition. In fact, sometimes I listen to the song on repeat.

Making Monday Merrier: Carlos Mencia

Here's a hilariously derogatory stand up routine that clearly earns its title: Not For the Easily Offended.

Sunday, 6 May, 2012

If I were to make a longboarding video in Madrid, I would want it to look like this...

This is a slick video with excellent production and editing, showing off beautiful madrid, really captures the spirit of the city, the hustle and the bustle, mixed with ways that all madridistas, whether into extreme sports or not, find a way to get out and enjoy the city, and look pretty slick while doing it. An Excellent tour of the city with a sweet soundtrack as well.

Full Moon Freakout: The Tanning Lady

In this inaugural full moon freakout, which happens to coincide with this year's supermoon, we have a real superfreak to stare in awe of: Patricia Krentcil. This tan-crazy lady proves you don't have to have big bucks like Michael Jackson to change your race and makes those Jersey shore idiots look like albinos. It wasn't until she 'allegedly' stuck one of her 5 offspring into a tanning bed that her full-time full-mood behavior came to light. On the one hand, you gotta feel bad for this freakish obsession, on the other - #YOLO, so let's all have a good laugh at this month's full moon freak, the tanning lady:

Werner Herzog's Must Read Letter to His Cleaning Lady


Rosalina. Woman.


You constantly revile me with your singular lack of vision. Be aware, there is an essential truth and beauty in all things. From the death throes of a speared gazelle to the damaged smile of a freeway homeless. But that does not mean that the invisibility of something implies its lack of being. Though simpleton babies foolishly believe the person before them vanishes when they cover their eyes during a hateful game of peek-a-boo, this is a fallacy. And so it is that the unseen dusty build up that accumulates behind the DVD shelves in the rumpus room exists also. This is unacceptable.


I will tell you this Rosalina, not as a taunt or a threat but as an evocation of joy. The joy of nothingness, the joy of the real. I want you to be real in everything you do. If you cannot be real, then a semblance of reality must be maintained. A real semblance of the fake real, or “real”. I have conquered volcanoes and visited the bitter depths of the earth’s oceans. Nothing I have witnessed, from lava to crustacean, assailed me liked the caked debris haunting that small plastic soap hammock in the smaller of the bathrooms. Nausea is not a sufficient word. In this regard, you are not being real.


Now we must turn to the horrors of nature. I am afraid this is inevitable. Nature is not something to be coddled and accepted and held to your bosom like a wounded snake. Tell me, what was there before you were born? What do you remember? That is nature. Nature is a void. An emptiness. A vacuum. And speaking of vacuum, I am not sure you’re using the retractable nozzle correctly or applying the ‘full weft’ setting when attending to the lush carpets of the den. I found some dander there.


I have only listened to two songs in my entire life. One was an aria by Wagner that I played compulsively from the ages of 19 to 27 at least 60 times a day until the local townsfolk drove me from my dwelling using rudimentary pitchforks and blazing torches. The other was Dido. Both appalled me to the point of paralysis. Every quaver was like a brickbat against my soul. Music is futile and malicious. So please, if you require entertainment while organizing the recycling, refrain from the ‘pop radio’ I was affronted by recently. May I recommend the recitation of some sharp verse. Perhaps by Goethe. Or Schiller. Or Shel Silverstein at a push.


The situation regarding spoons remains unchanged. If I see one, I will kill it.
That is all. Do not fail to think that you are not the finest woman I have ever met. You are. And I am including on this list my mother and the wife of Brad Dourif (the second wife, not the one with the lip thing). Thank you for listening and sorry if parts of this note were smudged. I have been weeping.


Your money is under the guillotine.
Herzog
