Oprah, Jacko & The State Fair

Some confusion on whether this is a Countdown or a Quick Hit... so be not alarmed QCI-ders when there's no super cool graphic header thinger... so when in doubt, the graphics department at QCI HQ goes with a very serious pic from our patron saint, Jared Allen.

I mean... this is probably one of the most bad ass pics we have found of #69. Seriously... is this from Oprah? You know... when he tells her that mullets are the key to world peace, kicking ass and bringing sexy back? Probably the highest rated show for O. For real... I mean... I can't believe she's not even rocking the haircut... whoah... what if she did? Man... everyone would be having some sweet sweet long locks and some mean ass facial hair.... well dudes with the mean ass facial hair... because... mean ass facial hair on the ladies, not so much... that's not bringing sexy back... that's bringing sexy wrong.

Anyhoop, enough about Oprah rocking a mullet... let get to the randomnous...

BUTTER JACKO, SERIOUSLY? So yeah... The State Fair got some heat about making a butter Jacko... (side note: don't you think they should use margarine? just sayin') So now... they are letting people vote on it... seriously... I know many of you think this whole thing is crazy... but now... I calling it the biggest bit of earn media for a long time... look for their website to crash from all the hits... oh, and for all of those outraged people not going? Yeah... bet the break the record....
THE ANSWER IS NO - Speaking of the State Fair, I have now recieve inquires about the Best Mullet Contest. Not gonna do it. But thanks for thinking that it would win or place... Entering in that would be like carving corporate logos on the side instead of racing stripes. So... nah... being awesome isn't a contest, its just a way of life.
MORE JACKO - Huh... this post is more of a 6 degrees thing... Jacko, State Fair... mullets... must be Kevin Bacon's birthday... oh wait it is... Anyway, so caught some of the memorial service... thoughts? Just kind of sad... hopefully the coverage dies down...

FACEBOOK STATUS OF THE DAY
"So and so... just spilled a yogurt smoothie all over my stupid suit. i'm going to look like a total ass clown during my 11:00 meeting."

Not really dude... spill all the time... it's like a uniform sometimes...

AND FINALLY... Dipping in to the KIOA catalog with a twist... Now... kind of a junkie for one hit wonders from back in the day... and this one... usually makes me want to do some sweet moves... I gotta think that in a psuedo El Camino world somewhere in the galaxy... every morning starts like this...

CC: Even with sweet hair yous gots no shots

Whew... what a week QCI-ders! Lots of stuff happening. So the crew here at QCI HQ is sifting through the randomonous... and has been purging through the archives. We're pack rats... but something has to give... not really in order...

SARAH PALIN - Seriously? Dumbest move ever. What's going to happen when she's in some GOP Debate and asked about being Commander in Chief? So... when the rolling gets tough... the tough run away from it? Then you sue 'em? Who thought this was a good idea? She has a better shot at the nomination than me getting freaky deeky with Elizabeth Shue... even with a mullet... sure, chances looks good on paper... but it's just not gonna happen.

ZACH RULES - Zach Greinke is bring the powder blue power sexy back to the All Star Game. Dude deserves it. Also, good job out of the Royals beating some White Sox ass this weekend. Power blue power baby.

SUCKS TO BE... You know... kinda sucks being a celeb or potential 2012 GOP candidates? Both are dropping like friggin flies lately.

FACEBOOK STATUS OF THE DAY

"So and so... Sweetheart, please be careful when you're washing our child's hair, you're not scrubbing the vomit out of your Christmas dress, you holiday drunk."

I don't even know where to start with that one... wow.

THEY'RE DOING IT WRONG - So... I'm glad I didn't head downtown this weekend... I would have been pissed. I mean, Public Enemy without Flavor Flav? That's like Harry Melvin without the Blue Notes. You'll never go platinum.

MULLET MANIA SWEEPS THE DEMO - So... you gotta love participating in 4th of July events and hearing random peeps... "G$, mullet's looking kick ass!" Or... hearing others whisper to one another, "Man, that's some sweet hair." Or... when you hear someone yell from the cheap seats, "Dude, that mullet is money." Thanks for all the shout outs!

AND FINALLY... Like we said, throwing out some stuff from the archives at QCI HQ... but when you come across awesomeness... you just gotta crank it... so you should too... your souls can thank us later...

CC: Butter Jacko, So Hot, Outta Touch

Hey there to all you fine feathered QCI-ders (just go with it)... Another countdown for you. We've said it here before... you get close to July 4... stuff starts to happen. Plus the randomnous you count on from the World's Crappiest Blog... because... well, it's just how we roll.

BUTTER MICHAEL JACKSON - Alright... lets touch on this. Yes, this is creepy. And no, not because of the reasons people are boycotting the Fair appearently now... A loyal reader and QCI-der said, "Why is this so creepy? I mean they did do a butter Elvis." Valid point... but this is why its creepier. First... Jacko had some work done. (What!?!?) Yea... so saying your sculpting a Michael Jackson... kind of wierd since he did that himself, his entire career... you all know the story. Plus... Elvis... never had work done... he just got fat... and so the butter thing... kind of makes sense. Plus... they make Elvis everything... just check any truck stop...

KATHY O. DEBUT AND BIASES - Actually thought the article was fine. Liked the bit on her biases. Which got us thinking about the biases expressed here on the World's Crappiest Blog. Hmmmm.... Pro Chiefs, Pro Hawks... we like our politics with business on top and party in the back... Good tunes are must... no matter what, tunes are a must. There are times to be serious... and times not to be so serious. Metallica is pretty much, the best band there is. Anti-West Des Moines... deal with it. Hmmm.... that's we got now... any we missed? Sound off in the comment section.

RACE FOR GUV - So... things are getting interesting in the GOP Primary... there was a big forum... up in... Northwest Iowa... which county was it again? (smirk) An announcement.... and an announcement about an announcement... so... yeah... Call me Nelly when I say it's gettin' hot in here... so take off all your.... wait. Hold it. Don't even go there. Just stay tuned.

FACEBOOK STATUS OF THE DAY

"So and so... I think I broke my Tweeter."

Um... well.... huh... might want to see a doctor about that.

OUT OF TOUCH - I love it when I get releases and emails and it gets a good tune in my head... here's what we got from Kraig Paulsen:

"It's just an example of where state government is completely out of touch with what's going on in the private sector," House Republican Leader Kraig Paulsen said. "Every Iowan is expected to get in the boat and start paddling, but not your state government."

#goodjoboutofyou Leader Paulsen!! Because... you just game me a reason to rock out to one of my all time favs... and admit it QCI-ders... You know they are on your top list... I mean seriously... Que the synthesizer!



So freaking good... I mean... Hall and Oates are like the Beach Boys... never a bad song.

About Last Night....

RISING STARS INDEED - Whoah... what a night to be a Republican in Iowa, right? Holy smokes. Different event. New attitude... and they knocked it out of the park. Here's some quick thoughts from last night....

- Nice venue. Event flowed great. Good concept
- People are fired up. There was some electricity with that crowd.
- Production was off the hizzy. Hat's off the the party staff and my main man St Clair.
- Tailgate... good job out of you. Way to go B-Dub, C-raig and the rest of the funky bunch.
- The program was done within an hour and a half. Seriously, you don't know how muchof a difference that makes.
- Mr. Chairman... on fire. Good job out of you.
- Videos... great... can't say enough of it.
- Lots and lots of new faces in that crowd last night.
- Lots and lots of blasts from the past there too. Folks who haven't been as active... are getting fired up.

Bottom line... the GOP is back in the Hawkeye State... dirt has been clearly been dusted off. Sleeves have been rolled up... and from what activisits were telling me... they're ready.

QCI-DERS OUT AND FORCE - You guys read this... you really really read this. Big shout outs to all you QCI-ders who stopped to say hey. I can't believe you waste your time reading this "Crappy Blog"... but my checks must be clearing... so #goodjoboutfoyou. Also... thanks for all of the complements on the greatness of the mullet. We will be having a special announcement soon... we're pretty fired up about it here. Trying to lock down the details.

THE KING OF POP - Now... don't why... but this was kind of in the back of my mind when I read the first tweets about the passing of Michael Jackson. I was just like... "For real?" Then a little sad. Say what you will about the bad stuff... but the dude could perform. Plus, peeps my age were basically introduced to Pop music through this guy... and made MTV what... uh, MTV used to be. Anyhow... I know its wierd to say or even think this... no matter how crazy Jacko got... I had and still do have the Thriller Album and all the J5 stuff as an image of him. I guess I'm a pitcher half full type of a guy...

Saw a couple tweets last night asking what their favorite MJ tunes were... I thought I'd bust out a few of them here... Please note... YouTube has enabled the use of his solo stuff... So Thriller, Beat It, Billie Jean... would be my go tos... but... you can't ever get over the J5 stuff... its the KIOA junkie in me... here you go...

Bat What Crazy?

So are you all catching this thing in South Carolina? If you want all of the hilarious straight dope on this... go visit our pals at http://www.fitsnews.com/.

I mean... first Governor Sanford is missing... then he was hiking in the backwoods... now, Argentina? This is just bat shit crazy. Yup, I said it.

For real? I smell yet another messed up story coming... I mean... These are lamer answers I used to give as a kid... I think this is how it would go down...

Ma: "Where in the hell were you!"
G$: "Uh... was over at Sealine's, playing ball."
Ma: "I called there and they said you weren't there."
G$: "Um... I was in Argentina."
Ma: "Yeah, you're grounded."
G$: "Damn."

Also... why would Iowa bloggers and tweeters even be chriping about his? Oh yea... because we rock out with our caucus out... yea... good luck with that 2012 thinger, Governor...

Another thing... anyone know where the term "bat shit crazy" comes from? I mean... is bat shit crazy like a more crazier form of crazy shit? Or is it that it comes from bats?

Wierd...
