50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

“this is magical”

  • WWdN in Exile

I didn't know where my friend Ryan was, but it sure sounded like he was having a lot of fun. Each Twitter update he sent was more entertaining than the last, but he never managed to top this one:

Mel Gibson is
drunk, smoking a cigar, and wearing a viking helmet… all while on a
live horse. I'm not kidding. This is magical.

I read that, giggled, and decided that he was full of shit. There is no way that actually happened.

Turns out that he was not full of shit. It was real, and it was spectacular.

    Oh dear god.
    While someone’s overall act is not together (Medic?!), this particular act is totally five star!

    There’s more on this site too … just in case anyone thinks the linked one is photoshopped…

    The odd mis-focused effect appears to be caused by the use of green screen to generate the background. This would also give the foreground a “halo”, adding to the photoshopped appearance. Beyond that… OMFG Mel looks deranged!

    Apparently Mel’s weirdness knows no bounds! haha!

    Wait, so he was doing this for a photo shoot knowing that people already think he’s a complete loon? Wow. Just wow.

    I see how it is, I take a little break and the world goes all surreal. There really aren’t words for that pic.

    Oy, that poor horse. Bet he’s wondering what exactly he did so wrong in life to end up here.
    Wil, I’m checking out the ST: The Exhibition (Exhibit 2) in Philly this weekend. Is your Lt Cmdr video at that one as well, or is it just in Exhibit 1? Grats to Wes on the promotion, btw. 🙂

    Darvelous! Where the heck have you been? You were missed, if it means anything to you.

    Yeah the horse looks nice, it’s a shame he/she had a Mel Gibson on their back.
    Whatever the poor horse’s gender, it’s name is now Sugartits.

    Life got weird, ya know?

  20. Danyiel says:

    You mean to tell me that it hasn’t always been weird? Did not know that. Well, it’s good to have you back.

  21. mightydarv says:

    More complicated than normal is all. And that’s sayin something.
    Good to be back.

    On a semi-related note (as it looks like mister Rockatansky there has imbibed a wee bit) I saw somebody in the store the other day hefting a big pack of that non-guinness carbonated alcoholic beverage you consume. I found it amusing.

  23. Danyiel says:
    9 June, 2009 at 10:36 am

    Okay…I’m not sure if you’re speaking to *me* or not, Darvelous, since you replied to yourself, but assuming that you were taking a stab at me with your comment about imbibing a non-Guinness carbonated alcohol substance, I believe that you need to get your facts straight, sir.
    Strictly speaking on the record here, as Chief of Being a Huge Pain in Wil’s Ass (who also retains authority over anyone in the “Do Whatever the Hell You Want” department), I believe that it’s been established that I am NOT responsible for Budweiser anymore. That would fall under the “It’s All Wil’s Fault!” category as of five days ago when I commented in the great slash fiction from the escape pod post. Yes, it’s been officially changed to *slash* since there seemed to be such a high demand for a post title change, even if the post title still reads *flash*. That would fall under the “Do Whatever the Hell You Want” department under my authority as Chief of Being a Huge Pain in Wil’s Ass.
    Also speaking strictly for the record, I do *not* imbibe Budweiser, as I am from Pennsylvania and Yuengling Lager is the official “King of Beers” in this wonderful Commonwealth State. That tricky Wheaton character baited me into taking responsibility for Budweiser when I foolishly engaged him in a beer semantics debate while in sleep deprivation mode.
    The tide has officially turned on that incident though, and Budweiser is now officially filed under the “It’s all Wil’s fault!” category, courtesy of the TNG Plot Generator. Which makes Wil officially responsible for that particular non-Guinness carbonated alcoholic beverage as of five days ago. Just setting the record straight.
    BTW, Wil, one month and twenty days from now, you will officially be another year older, which still makes you one year, two months and two days older than me. Dad voice shield enabled. =P
