Every
once in a while, a truly great maniac-tweak-ass-celebrity comes along and momentarily steals our hearts. Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez. Wacko Jacko. Tom Cruise. The chick from Black Eyed Peas that pees herself. Mel Gibosn. Today we lost one of the greatest one hit celebrity-wonders we've ever seen. The mere fact that he became "celebrity" because he was fuckin' whacked, should be reason enough to love him. Yea, recently, when you heard his name, you think, lame. But the first time you peeped this nut, you were in love. You made the references, did all the quotes, you told the friends who didn't know yet. For years this guy stuck around, just kept nutty. It did get old, which appears to be this mans only flaw. Respect.

As a tribute, today I took my own life in my hands, walked that thin line between life and death, faced the animal kingdom face first.

I was originally going to post some more crazy celebrity stories with links and such, but couldn't think of many. Trolling YouTube for Hemrans Hermits videos, as I usually do in these lonely wee morning hours, I stumble upon this gem. I had never heard of these guys before this, but apparently their whacky front man was more popular for their comedy than their music. Everybodys doin' the Freddie. Here he teaches Frankie, Annette, and the Lank how to dance.

Another one we recently lost, RIP

Fuck that's a great dance.
