  • Awwww snap people!!! I loves me some Tom and Jerry and one of my favorites is the one with Jerry's Uncle Pecos. You may not remember Uncle Pecos, but you might remember the song he sang. Anywho, as you might imagine, I found it on YouTube! About 7 or 8 years ago Jt, and I found the song on the internet, but that was without the video, so until the other night, I had not seen this episode (can Tom and Jerry have episodes?) since I was a little kid. It was much different than what I remembered. Anywho, here is the link.

    I know it is mean to make fun of people that stutter, which is what this cartoon does. But its so damn funny how he can pronounce really hard words but tank easy words, you know kinds like George W Bush, except that he doesn't know any words that are longer than 2 syllables. I love Uncle Pecos's attempt at a yodel too. Back when Jt and I found this song years ago, we had it stuck in our heads for the better part of a month. And, we also got our friends and other people at work singing it too. Another kick ass song from Tom and Jerry was "Is You Is Or Is You Aint My Baby" which you can find if you do your own damn search for it on YouTube. People have said that cartoon  is racist, but honestly, I don't get it. Obviously, its a black person singing, in fact, this was a song from, I believe the 1940s. But, the cartoon itself is classic Tom & Jerry and this particular episode was far from racist.

    You know, I hope if there is an afterlife, we don't have to watch our entire life again. I sure as hell hope we can fast forward through much of it. When you think about it, the majority of every single person's life is boring. Even the most exciting people who have lead interesting and amazing lives are boring at least 75% of any given day. Sure, watching a movie based on somebody's life, like the movie about Ray Charles, is interesting. But, there is so much of the life that is left out. After all, its not exciting to watch somebody sleep for 15 minutes, its got to be painfully boring to watch somebody sleep for 8 hours. Unless there is choking or major burning, watching somebody eat, for the most part, is boring. Going to the bathroom? Well, unless you are one of those weirdos that likes to watch people make #1 or #2 (I think a guy I used to know by the name of Ed is probably really into that sort of thing. Yes, this is Brian's old friend Ed), doing one's business is boring and sometimes gross. Imagine watching somebody talk on the phone, you only get one side of the conversation and that can be mighty boring a lot of the time. Most of the time one is driving, things are pretty uneventful, so that would be boring as well. Shit, you might be entertained at reading this blog, but would you still be entertained watching me type it? No. And speaking of reading, watching somebody silently read just might be the most boring thing a person could ever do. My point is, most of the time, life is very boring and nobody should have to watch a life. Yet, just about everybody would be willing to watch a whole entire boring life just to see the short amount of time in which somebody is having sex.
