Haggard

So who's seen any Viva La Bam or CKY?
If the answer to that question is none, then GTFO and watch at least one.
If you have seen one of those shows, then read on.
Haggard is a movie that is based on the actors from Cky, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Rabb Himself, Brandon Dicamillo, Jenn Rivell, Don Vito, Phil Margera, Ape Margera, Tony Hawk, Mark Hanna, and probably alot of other people.
The storyline is a little cliche, but still enjoyable.

Ry (Ryan Dunn) is dumped by his girlfriend Glauren (Jenn Rivell) for a metalhead named Hellboy (Rake Yohn). Ry's friends, Valo (Bam Margera) and Falcone (Brandon Dicamillo) try to bring Ry out of his depression spiral. This movie is really not one for the littlies, because of the swearing, drug references, nudity and probably alot of other things i didnt really notice.

If your a fan of Viva La Bam, Jackass, Cky, Wildboys, or comedy movies, Then you'll defiantely get a laugh out of this.

New Feature

I got the idea for a new feature when my esteemed colleague Draztak began using a new feature in his blog, the Screenshot of the Week. Now, I understandably thought using a new, exciting feature was a great idea, so I wracked my brains for something to use. I was saved from my desperate brain-wracking by my co-blogger Thantos, who suggested using detailed descriptions of internet memes for a feature. Memes, for those who don't know, are jokes that spread throughout a group of people through repetition and variation until they have become part of the culture. Most of the memes we will be describing will have originated from 4chan, the very origin of most of the internet memes circulating around today. Mind you, 4chan is the Mos Eisley Cantina of the internet, providing a place for the denizens of the internet to, under the protection of anonymity, post some of the most disturbing things known to man. We imagined that you wouldn't want to go there yourself, so Thantos and I, brave and courageous as we are, decided to venture there ourselves to bring you the lulzy part of 4chan.

Esperanto, among other things

Jesus, I've gotten lazy with this blog. I guess I'll start with the most important news and describe my recent experience with Esperanto.Esperanto, as you may already know, is a universal language created by L.L. Zamenhof in an effort. While it is only spoken by about two million people worldwide, I really liked the idea of it, and therefore decided to learn more. The language was introduced to me by Zork, an eccentric friend of mine. You can find the decaying corpse of his long-abandoned blog here. Anyway, after describing the language to me, he linked me to the download site and I began my journey. Mind you, this was only last night, but in that time I've discovered the language to be extremely intuitive. The language sounds sort of like a mix between Hindi, Spanish, English, and Italian, with little hints of other languages sprinkled in. For an example, listen to this Esperanto song by Argentinean band La Porkoj.
Anyway, in other news, I recently got back from Hidden Villa camp, in the Farm and Wilderness division. It was a twelve-day program that involved pigs, chickens, cows, sleeping on a mat, hiking, meeting new friends, and eating meals with forty wasps buzzing around your head. While there were some parts of the camp that I wasn't a huge fan of, most of it provided for an enjoyable break from the monotony of modern life. Probably the most enjoyable part of the camp was the three-day hike we did up to Black Mountain. While grueling, we were given a full day at the top that was devoted to little but relaxation, and at the end of the day, we walked out to the bluff of the mountain to watch the gorgeous sunset. The overall impression was very good, and I imagine I'll return there again next year.
This is Jimbo, signing off.
