My friend Lance sent me a link to this video, which was just too awesome not to share.
Lance says:
If I told you I had a three-minute instructional video that will teach you how to —
1. Startle a black man (not as easily startled as popularly believed)
2. Get ejected from events
3. Tell a rambling story
4. Make people literally eat air
5. Injure your wrists— you would not be out of line in saying, “Well, sir, I think you take me for a fool.”

I confess that I am excited, based on the footage contained in this clip.
The Ramones – Judy Is A Punk (CBGB’s, 1974)
You know, I am thinking about cutting my words on this blog down significantly, and instead just post Ramones videos all spring and summer.
Perhaps I shouldn’t have groused about my inability to complete the game Pitfall in my recent Atari 2600 post, especially since there’s a handy how-to guide to defeating it available on the Internet:
How To Beat Video Games 2 (1982) – Pitfall!
Did you know that the fictional comic book character Peter Parker, who would later become Spider-Man, grew up in Forest Hills, a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens?
Did you know that the punk group the Ramones were from that same neighborhood in Queens?
Did you know that the Ramones covered the theme song from the 1960’s Spider-Man cartoon?
Well, you do now.
