T For Tennessee

Hey hey! I’m about to head out for Memphis with mi madre. Surely there will be good times and great oldies involved. Wish us luck and warmth– sounds like it’s frickin’ freezing in Mississippi today.
Be good.

Let’s Make Christmas Mean Something This Year

Well. Damn.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
James Brown is dead.
And it’s not some dance-pop song this time. It’s the truth.
Everyone please take some time to watch Rocky IV, or listen to James Brown’s Funky Christmas today. Ideally, both.

Ho ho ho.

One Creature Is Stirring

I guess this is the first time since Ashley was born that we aren’t together in the same house waiting for Christmas morning.
Instead, I am on my mom’s couch, watching [adult swim]’s Christmas With DOOM lineup, and Ash is somewhere in Michigan with her husband and his family. We’ll all get together in Memphis […]

Missing Man Formation

I wish my dad was around to go see Rocky Balboa with me on Wednesday. He loved that kinda stuff.
I’m pretty sure The Karate Kid was his favorite movie of the ’80s.
Once, I asked him what his favorite movie of all time was, and he said The Sound of Music, but I think that […]

Linktacular Disappointment

I can barely put into words the disappointment I felt upon clicking the headline “Reynolds to host radio show,” and finding a picture of Star Jones “Reynolds” staring me in the face, with no Bandit in sight.
Damnit, DAMNIT.
If he got Jerry Reed to play the intros/outros and throw out some color commentary, it would be […]

Also, I Enjoy My Friends

Phone Call On The Way Home:
G: Hey, what’s up, Will?
W: Not much, you?
G: Oh, stopped by the store… almost home now.
W: Very good. Say…where did Skeletor live?
G: Ah, Snake Mountain.
W: YEP… that’s what I thought. Okay. Thanks.
G: …
W: You’re going to stop answering these calls at some point, aren’t you?
G: At least […]

Internet, I Love You, Part 2

Specifically, I love website statistics like this:
Top 5 Keywords
1. yarg
2. home for purim
3. wiikend codes
4. who stole lemmy’s hat
5. yarg
Yeah… I think we’re right on track around here. And no, I’m not sure why “yarg” is both 1 and 5, but let’s just roll with it, baby.

Never Trust A Lead Singer In A Scarf Whose Name Is Not Steven Tyler

Not only are JET pretty boring in concert, I think the lead singer (aka Heroin Chic Steve Perry) may be mildly retarded. He bellowed the phrase “ATLANTA, we are the rock and roll band JET from Melbourne, Australia! Are you with us tonight?!” about four times throughout the concert, and not too much […]

Pickles, The Drummer

Internet, I love you so much right now.

Semper Fi

Apparently my sister’s brother-in-law, Dave, caught a (non-fatal) bullet to the forehead while serving our country somewhere in the middle-east over the weekend. He’s a Marine, and seemed to be a pretty good guy when I met him at Ashley’s wedding (he was the one in the uniform, if you saw the pics).
They’re transferring […]




The Grayscale?

This is a sporadic blog by Gray Whitten. Used to call it The Grayscale when it lived elsewhere, but now I'm going with the domain name and just saying YARG! (dot org). Feel free to sign up via RSS or LJ, or just, you know, visit on a regular basis. Thanks!
