Dancing like you want to break the law...

Yikes... it's already mid-July? Damn QCI-ders... the year is going fast... there's a whole lots of stuff going out there to chat... ponder... and have some fun. Because, that's what we're here for.

BUTTER JACKO... STILL - OK, OK... yeah... we're still talking about this... why? Because now I'm getting email forwards about the Butter Jacko vote for the State Fair... all telling me to vote no... Seriously? For real? I don't know what is more ridiculous.... the fact that we make things out of butter... or that a butter Jacko is threat to humanity... sigh... We've said it once... and we'll say it again, Iowans need to act like we've been there before... We voted yes. And if there was a vote to make anything out of butter... we could totally get behind a movement towards a butter Jared Allen... a butter mullet? Hell yes!
STANZEL IS IRONMAN - Huge shout out to a loyal QCI-der, Scott Stanzel. The dude a crazy good triathlete. He has started "Tri for Ned"... a fundraiser for Leukemia in memory of his father. So our main man went to Switzerland this week to compete in the Ironman Triathlon.... and he crushed it. Congrats Scott! You tha man! I know your Pops is proud of you.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS... Footloose? Check this out... for real? So I guess you can't dance after 2am in the city of Des Moines... wierd. Not that there's a whole lots of it going on... wonder when you can start dancing again? Hmmm.... We know all of us here at QCI HQ has broken this law. No needs for carpet here... because we's be cuttin' up the rugs until the break of dawn.

"So and so... I am the Walrus."

Koo Koo Ka Choo! Love that song.

AND FINALLY... Nothing wrong with a little disco... for real... not at all... So in honor of my 'rents wedding anniversary... how about some of this... they're big fans... well, my Pops is, my Ma just humors him... great tune for breaking the dancing laws in the DSM after 2am...

Quick Hits: No really... quick hits...

Oh yeah QCI-ders... maybe this isn't quite the appropiate header and feature we should post this randomnous under... but what the hell, right? That's how we roll... kind of funny now... well not funny... ah hell... let's go.

IOWA HAS SAFE DRIVERS? Huh? Oh yea... so a survey is out on how safe drivers are in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. Check it out here... the B-Dub was all over it before you read it here. Well, I can't say anything for CR... but I don't think these researchers visted anywhere on Des Moines' Miracle Mile... East 14th Street... or on the Southeast Side in general. You'll be minding your own business then suddenly... someone will swerve into and the next thing you know... your car has run into the back of a Taco-bago.
DART... MEANING... You better "dart" across the street or the DART buses will hit you. Seriously? Did the researchers know that the public transportation has 6... yes 6 people in the past 2 years? Yea... totally happened again in the DeMo this morning. And as a loyal reader told me, "And they wanted to ban ice cream trucks?" Completely agree. I mean... if I'm gonna get hit by something... I at least want a frosty malt out of the deal.

So yea... until then... enjoy some Hova....

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...

"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.

"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.

"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.
