Early arctic explorers were nuts. They would do things like take dog sleds north, eat the dogs as they went, and then walk back.

for some reason i had a hankering to listen to weird al's "dare to be stupid."
i could never tell what if any particular song it was supposed to be parodying.
had never seen the video, but it makes it clear what al is lampooning is outfits like devo, the talking heads, peter gabriel, and other psychedlic pop and arthouse punk groups. the visuals are near perfect replicas of so many videos of the early mtv era.
anyway, youtube suggested i watch "all about the pentiums" next... while i thought it was corny when it came out, well poo poo, i think 18 years in the future i like it unironically.
weird al has a knack for somehow capturing the essence of particular aspects of the time he's operating in.

dare to be stupid is one of his songs that isn't a parody of a specific song. it's done "in the style of" DEVO

weird al is an extremely talented musician. it takes a lot of skill to not only convert songs from one style of music to another while keeping them recognizable, but then combine like twenty of those into a single coherent piece

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni632sTHZWU

he's also a gifted lyricist (so many parody-writers don't understand meter)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gv0H-vPoDc

quote:

In an interview on VH1's Behind the Music, Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh stated in reaction to the song that: "I was in shock. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. He sort of re-sculpted that song into something else and... I hate him for it, basically."

this youtube ad featured a thing called "extreme hammocking" as a generic "cool weird thing out there" and i was like "who i saw that poo poo last weekend," and i did.
i climbed a mountain with some folks, actually both of my exes and a buddy, and we ran into this guy with a cool dog right before the last switchback before the peak.
last leg was rough and we were all sitting down or leaning and grabbing our water and panting like the out of shape nerds we are and this dude comes huffing and puffing up the same route, but like 3x faster than us and he's carrying a dog.
one of the girls is like "that looks like an australian shepard dachshund mix or something," and i was like "lol it does. cool dog."
and the guy was like "wow, nobody believes me when i tell them that he's a mix. everyone thinks it's a pure dachshund."
and i was like "nah man, those legs."
and he was like "exactly!"
so tells us there's a cool place to chill a little bit ahead where you can see a giant popular vineyard and also the parking lot your car is in, and a whole lot of poo poo. also that beyond there is a tower, which my buddy confirms that he read about.
dude's done watering his dog and catching his breath and says he hopes to see us soon and asks his dog if it wants to go "hammocking," and trots off.
we follow and find him suspended right on the edge of this, with dog in lap:

i couldn't bring myself to get very close.
he was like "oh hi guyz! you goin' all the way to the top?"
and we're like "might as well," and my buddy asks specifically where the tower is.
we are then told it's called "The Fire" by locals and is a common location for late night college kid drinking along with some vague directions.
he also adds that his ex fiance grew up around here and claims there's an abandoned mineshaft near the top.
surprise: we found neither tower nor mineshaft.
that is my rambling story about seeing an ad on youtube and my weekend.
this is the video it preceded:

the were looking for the fabled northwest passage. it soon became clear that even if the passage existed it would be wildly impractical to use it, but they still wanted to find it just to say they did.


Peary and Henson didn't reach the pole. however they did impregnate teenage Inuit girls and then leave them, so there's that.

after Peary no one bothered to try going to the pole so it wasn't officially reached until 1948. it wasn't reached by overland travel until 1968. that was done by a group of guys from Minnesota who basically said "Hey, let's go to the north pole."

cold = bad.

i went on a business trip with a buddy to chicago in february once.
we were both alcoholics and he was a smoker, so as soon as we got settled at the hotel in the northern suburbs we're like "okay i can see a 7-11 caddycorner to us, let's go.
bundled all up with a scarf and a hood and gloves and everything we embark.
we made it across the street once and the waterfall feature that the apartment complex had there had frozen mid waterfall in crazy icicle formations, and every single breath hurt to take.
i was like "gently caress it. i'll pay room service $30 for a bottle of wine. i'll have the concierge do it on my card. i'm going back."
and he was like "gently caress you! they don't have cigarettes and if i'm doing this then you are too. besides you'll hateself for getting 1/3 the liquor for 3x the price."
it was awful.
