Mission Mission

Brainslip brings us some hard-hitting reporting about everyone’s favorite foul-mouthed Mission troubadour/celebrity stalker Omer. So read on if you’re curious about “Omer’s Favorite Breakfast Cereals Of All Time“. (I’m surprised Yoko-O’s didn’t make the list)

I’m still trying to figure out what a “fixed-speed” bicycle is, but this product review (written by a San Franciscan, of course) seems to clear things up:

Recursion!

Cast member Joey “Electric Boogajew” Price sent us VentureTek™’s latest video, “The Search 4Douglas“.

"I just can't stop looking at these puppies"

“VentureTek™” is a new sketch comedy troupe from the Mission, not to be confused with a couple of existing completely vague tech companies (or domain squatters). Luckily, judging from their 1997-style websites neither has the budget to take legal action against our local boys.

Warning: these guys are weird. The way I see it, there are two camps of sketch these days: the play-it-safe SNL/MadTV type, and the iMovie-meets-public-access-TV-nacho-fever-dream type. VentureTek™ definitely falls in the latter camp. The first episode reminds me of Stella, and the second one reminds me of Tim and Eric, but with more beards. If that’s not your style, you’ll probably hate these guys. That’s cool, though. I hear Best Buy is having a sale on Family Guy DVD box sets.

Full episodes after the jump.

Something happens in Duc Loi Supermarket at night. When we humans go home to watch old episodes of NewsRadio on Hulu; heat up leftovers for our hungry children; go out to bars to meet up with an old girlfriend we’re thinking of getting back together with; or wander the streets with a camera, looking for weird little things to take pictures of, the piñatas at Duc Loi experience something very different.

I happened to catch a glimpse of their secret world the other night, and I’ll tell you, I have no idea what they’re up to in there. Here are some guesses as to what this could be about:

• Piñata Fight Club – The fight doesn’t stop when candy is spilled. It’s just another clean up on aisle three.

• Prayer Service – The Great One, a holy piñata in the form of a star with seven points appears in a blinding light and cleanses the spirits of the doomed beasts.

• Rock Concert – Big Bird and the Bats rock the house. Big Bird heads up the three piece jam band on vocals, Laa-Laa coos in the background on bass and Monkey-With-A-Donkey-Head keeps the beat on drums.

For now, all I have are guesses. Next step: Infiltration.

Nope, the above (photo by mattymatt 2/25/2010) don’t make a lick more sense than the below (photo by Krankiboy 8/16/2009). Lateral move.

I don’t care for all the foul language, but I kind of like this guy’s attitude.

The best part is when your girlfriend’s ass turns out to be his ass. That was an Avatar-level special effect if ever I saw one.

Also, who doesn’t love a good Beat Happening gag?

And stay for the last 10 seconds.

CLASSIC.
