I'm a 32 year old nonprofit techie in Richmond, Virginia. This is my stream of consciousness converted into hypertext.

Nirvana did cover The Money Will Roll Right in several times, without Mudhoney. This is one such performance.
I should have been more specific in mentioning that Mudhoney recorded a cover of The Money Will Roll Right In, whereas Nirvana did not.
I’m sure other Tumblrs are tiring of this back-and-forth between us but I love this song, so the more it shows up on my dashboard the better. I also enjoy seeing my screen name with no vowels in it. :)
The Money Will Roll Right In - Mudhoney
While I hesitate to debate music with Michele, I just wanted to point out that Mudhoney actually did a cover of this song. The instance of Nirvana covering it was alluded to in the liner notes for Incesticide (emphasis added by me):
“It was as rewarding as the drawings Daniel Johnston sent me, or the Stinky Puffs single from Jad Fair’s son, or playing on the same bill as greg Sage in L.A., or being asked to help produce the next Melvins record, or being on the Wipers’ Compilation, or Thor from T.K. giving me a signed first edition of Naked Lunch, or making a friend like Stephen Pavlovic - our Australian tour promotor who sent me a Mazzy Star LP on vinyl, or playing “The Money Will Roll Right In” with Mudhoney, or having the power to insist on bringing Bjorn Again to the Reading Festival, or being able to afford to bring my friend Ian along on tour just to have a good time, or paying Calamity Jane five-thousand dollars to be heckled by twenty thousand macho boys in Argentina, or asking my friends Fits Of Depression to play with us at The Seattle Coliseum, or playing with Poison Idea at No On Nine benefit in Portland organized by Gus Van Zandt, or being a part of one of L7’s pro-choice benefits in L.A., or kissing Chris and Dave on Saturday Night Live just to spite homophobes, or meeting Iggy Pop, or playing with The Breeders, Urge Overkill, The T.V. Personalities, The Jesus Lizard, Hole, Dinosaur Jr., etc”

Lady GaGa Explains “Vertigo Stick”
I was goofing around earlier with Google’s suggestion feature which was such a big part of their Super Bowl ad and hoping to find funny examples to post some screenshots. Although nothing really hilarious resulted from my efforts, I did inevitably type in “vertigo” and was surprised when “vertigo stick” came up as a suggestion. My initial reaction was “haha, I have one of those,” but then I clicked on it and found out that it’s a lyric from a Lady Gaga song. (90% of you probably knew that already but I didn’t.)
Anyway, I eventually found this YouTube clip of her explaining the concept (about 40 seconds in):

…when I try to describe my balance disorder to someone who doesn’t already know about it:
“I’ve got the vertigo which gives me the dizziness and the hey hey hey I’m spinning. HOYVIN-GLAYVIN!”

Note: I’m well aware that Professor Frink’s mannerisms are based on Jerry Lewis. I am only 32, however, so The Simpsons is a much more culturally relevant reference.
From the file of “Jokes That Nobody Got.”
I was looking around on the web for GIS mapping tools one day when I noticed that the term GIS-mapper was very similar to the term jizz-mopper. So, I made a Clerks reference that I thought some people would find hysterical.
Zero stars.

Anonymous asked: Gigli, Tristan & Isolde, The Prince of Egypt, and another vote for Speed 2. You are a braver person than I. -milkglassmao
I have added Tristan & Isolde and The Prince of Egypt to the bad movies list. Gigli, however, was already a part of the first Self-Torture Experiment.
Thanks for the suggestions!
