It might seem to you, my dear reader, that I have once again abandoned my sacred duty here, leaving you all without so much as a post on Christmas or New Years.
It might seem to you that it would be a good time to make a New Year's Resolution - to update this young and supple blog on a more predictable basis, like, you know, once a week.
However, as is well established, the surest way to fail at something is to make it a New Year's Resolution. It's a tale as old as time, a song as old as rhyme...

So while I won't make any guarantees on future returns, let me assure you, reader, that Heavy Excremetal is going to blow your shit up in 2013. So be sure to get out of the bathroom in a hurry after you flush.
Before I get into the challenges of the New Year, I have a few loose ends to tie up and tickle mercilessly until they either die or give me the location of the kidnapped ambassador. Enjoy, Excremities!
Why Teen Wolf Too is Not a Particularly Splendid Film, Part El Segundo
When last I wrote, I had listed off the parts of Teen Wolf Too that didn't entirely suck. It would seem natural here that I would now list off the parts that did. And so I will. In due time. Which is now.
1. The Non-Return of Coach Finstock
In Teen Wolf Good, Scott Howard is guided in the way of the hoops by Mr. I-couldn't-give-two-shits Coach Finstock, portrayed by the desquealeant Jay Tarses. These following three minutes are the bulk of his appearance in the film:
Pretty fuckin' awesome for a character who gets three minutes of screen time, right?
I SAID RIGHT, BITCH!?
Well fuck what you think, I fuckin love this character. He doesn't give a shit, has a shit job, probably has no wife or family to speak of, but he doesn't give a fuckin' fuck. My kinda dude.
So yeah, look what the fuck they do with him in Tingling Wolf Balls Also:
You would be surprised how hard it was to find a picture of this dude. |
So, uh, yeah, Boo-urns to that.
2. The crapdasciousally non-existent character connections
Remember how in Teen Wolf: The Fellowship of the Dicknoses, Scott Howard wanted more than anything to bang out Pamela Wells, the hottest girl at school? And remember how Pamela is dating Mick, Scott's arch-nemesis in basketball?
Also, do you remember how Scott's other rival, the vice-principal, knew Scott's dad back when they were in high school? Remember how Scott is obviously supposed to end up dating Boof, his childhood sweetheart, as they're so totally meant for each other?
No? You weren't paying that much attention? You were too busy enjoying life and not paying attention to stupid bullshit like the character backgrounds of second-rate 80's movies? Well, since you're such an ignorant little shit, let me point out that the previously mentioned plot details are fairly decent scriptwriting decisions.
SURR GURRRS WHURRT DURRR SURRQURR DURRS, GURRS?
If you guessed that Teen Wolf: The Too Towers removed any and all sort of backstory or connection between the protagonist and antagonists, you'd be super fucking correct! Todd Howard's boxing rival? Just some dude. The evil dean? Just an evil dean. Todd's object of unobtainable affection? Two random women who are given all the characterization of wallpaper. Todd's true love? Some chick that he does some homework with, whose characterization makes wallpaper downright erotic.
Do you see, TWT? Do you see what happens when you try to chop a movie into pieces and reassemble it, a la Boondock Saints 2?
3. That weird fucking makeup
Imma make this one quick. Teen Wolf First:
Teen Wolf Second:
WHY DOES TEEN WOLF SECOND LOOK SO WEIRD? And so... pasty white? It just doesn't work for a werewolf, does it? Michael J. Fox looks the part, but Jason Bateman looks like a lunatic who went around gluing wigs around his face.
4. What's up "Dog"?
Another quick one, but one that pisses me off to no end.
SO MANY TIMES in TWT they refer to Todd as a 'dog'. I can understand the comparison, but they use the term more than 'werewolf'. And it's a fucking WEREWOLF MOVIE.
So I guess the point is, say 'werewolf' instead of 'dog', dammit Beavis.
5. STILEEEEESSSS!
DID I MENTION THEY REPLACED STILES?
DID I????
CHEEEHHHEEEE!!!

Shit That Has To Stop, Part II - Christmas Edition
The 12 Days of Christmas
A wittier writer might attempt to write this part of the article in verse, but wittier writers also have a bad habit of smelling their own farts, whereas my fart-smelling habit comes doctor-approved.
You see, since I skipped my first annual Christmas article, I thought I would make it up to you now, over a week later, when the very last thing you want to think about would be Christmas.
Specifically, I want to posit this question:
WHY IN FUCK'S NAME DOES ANYBODY, ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET, STILL SING THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS?
I chose this image not for humor, but because it is soooo completely complementing my mescaline binge. |
Like, really, do I need to explain why this song is so horrible? It certainly was a bane of my childhood, and I'm sure it was a bane of yours. (Batman joke... just not coming... sorry guys)
First, we all know there aren't twelve days of Christmas. Even if we're going by one of those old timey 1800's church calendars, it's not like we get to enjoy twelve days of Christmas anyway. All we do by continuing to sing this song is confuse children into thinking that they're going to get more fucking presents on December 26th. (But to be fair, if I had kids, I'd trick them into thinking they were getting presents on December 25th. Dem tasty tears...)
Second, the song is sooooo long. It was clearly written in a time when Christmas carols were one of few holiday-time alternatives to such activities as freezing your ass off or watching all of your friends and family die of tuberculosis. Could you imagine living in such horrible times? Singing the same shit, over and over, adding one turd to the skewer each time, until, by the time you're finished, you have a turd kebab long enough to feed a family of turd-eaters?
Finally, and perhaps most offensive to the mind of a child, is the sheer crappiness of the gifts involved. Look over the lyrics to the Twelve Days of Christmas. Just look at them.
LOOOOOOK AT THEMMMM!!
If you LOOOOOOKED AT THEMMMMMM, you'll notice that the gifts in 12DoC (as I'm now dubbing it) fall into three categories:
1. Birds - Because what kid doesn't want a bunch of birds shitting all over the new toys their got on Christmas?
2. Rings - Because children are jewelry-and/or-marriage-obsessed young women???
3. People - Slaves! Apparently fancy slaves, because my true love got me not just some peasant milkmaids and a few musicians, but also Lords and Ladies! I wonder what palace my true love had to sack to get those?
GREAT GIFTS FOR KIDS, RIGHT?
GREAT SONG FOR THE HOLIDAYS, RIGHT?
Please, next year, if you are a churchgoer or caroler in any position to stop this song from being sung, please, PLEASE, I beg you, direct your fellow carolers to this blog. Let them see the light.
Let's get a 12DoC-Free Christmas goin in 2013.
If not for me, than for your children.
Unless, of course, you want your kids to be bling-encrusted slave owners who live surrounded in bird filth.
Keep It Stankin'
