In the festive quest to decorate the home page marquee with yet another quasi-Halloween segment, here’s Dave England hanging around as a winsome creature of the night. Shot in both Los Angeles, California, and Portland, Oregon, “The Bat” combines thrills, chills, and even the prerequisite downhill spill. In the event that you miss the dearly departed track by Roky Erickson that once accompanied this bit in its televised usage, I suggest renting the documentary You’re Gonna Miss Me (2005), and adding a few of Roky’s more eerie songs to your iPod for the upcoming weekend, primarily: “Night of the Vampire”, “Bloody Hammer”, “I Walked With a Zombie”, and “The Creature With the Atom Brain”. Better yet, if you’re geographically fortunate check Roky out in person this weekend: Friday, October 30, he’s performing at the Majestic Theatre in Detroit, MI, then on Saturday, October 31, he’ll be at the Bottom Lounge in Chicago, IL.

more jackass


Well, it’s Friday here at jackassworld, which can only mean it’s time for your creative writing class. Like it or not. But what’s not to like about this photo? Taken out of context it looks vaguely incriminating, doesn’t it? So, in 25 words or less and pretending you have no prior awareness of jackass, Chris Pontius, or the “Body in Trunk” segment, please describe a hypothetical scenario for what appears to be going down in this photo. You will not be graded, but will most likely judged and/or ridiculed by your community peers.
