Toil In The Soil

Being a Winnipeg kid in the mid to late 1980s ruled because when you came home from school for lunch at 12:00, you turned on the TV to watch a show called "S'kiddle Bits" hosted by Joey Gregorash (who had a handful of hit songs in the 1970s and 1980s). It was a live show that featured contests, birthday announcements, local events, guest appearances, lost pets, and funny parodies.

This is one such parody of an advertisement for a record album full of parodies based on stereotypical Canadian humour. I still love watching it.



I used to have a videocassette full of clips from his show, but it's long gone. This and one full length episode is all that survives in my video collection. I also used to have an autographed picture of him, but I think that went up in my parents' house fire. Now that I think about it, I lost a lot of really cool blogworthy shit in that fire. Oh well, I'll survive.

Bad 80s Porn

When I was 16, my cousin (who is about 10 years older than me) gave me three porno movies he didn't want anymore. The other two seem to have disappeared on me, but this one called "Sweet Alice" has hung around and rightly so; it's the cheesiest one of them all.

Here's what happens in the movie from what I can remember... Sweet Alice runs away from her husband Billie Joe (that dude in the cowboy hat) and becomes a porn star. Billie Jo hires a female private detective to find Sweet Alice. She locates a porno video and shows it to Billie Joe. He then gets all heartbroken and the detective comforts him. Then they fuck under an apple tree.
THE END.

The song "The Ballad of Billie Joe" which you hear in the beginning of this film keeps popping up repeatedly, making you fast forward through it because the chick singing it has a REALLY irritating voice, and the music sounds like it's playing off a record that was left sitting in the sun.

Here's my breakdown of what the movie consists of:
50% story
35% "The Ballad of Billie Joe"
15% Pornography

If you would actually like to buy a copy of this badly plotted, badly produced B movie that tries to be a porno film, you can get it here.

"A tender, touching saga of love and lust... quite simply one of the best scripts ever written." -- Velvet Magazine

Velvet Magazine must be made up of retarded children in order to call this a good script.

Anyway, here's the clip. I excluded the actual pornographic scenes solely to focus on the cheese, and for the 'cleanliness' of this blog:

Here's a couple of random pieces of paper I found...


Worship Satan

Way back when I was in High School, I found this sitting on my desk just after I entered the class room.




Letter to Mel

I found this one while on a walk one day. Sounds like Matt was looking for some pity.

Megadeth Concert Promo

I can't tell you how much great stuff I recorded off Scruff Connors' morning show back in the mid-90s. Morning shows have been so bloody boring since he moved out to Toronto.

Anyway, his morning show was filled with fake, but hilarious commercials. This was one of three concert promos that I heard while Scruff was on the air in Winnipeg:



I have one more like this, but I'll save it for another snowy day.
