More from HalfEatenDimSum...

A while ago we talked about our new favorite Australian (?) metal/dada/songwriter/filmmaker/animator/prankster/Kerry King-hating YouTube User HalfEatenDimSum... Remember? No? Well... whatever.

Anyway, we did.

And then today, we decided to check back in and see what our friend HalfEaten was up to these days...

Well, he's still making experimental films:



... and "writing" "songs":



... and performing heavy metal on an acoustic guitar:



Except now he also gives relationship advice:



And advances his own theory about the Kennedy assassination:



(Shrug)

Long story short, he's a million times better than Fred.

Sandwich as Surreal Art



Being a surrealist, I tend to think outside of the box- but even so, I never thought that there would ever be an honest to God surreal sandwich. Think about it, what would a surreal sandwich consist of?

Take the state of Montana, slather on fortitude, three pickles, and our blend of spices (a mixture of Danny Elfman and forest fires), lay it on top of two microchips, grill it like a panini and serve it underwater.


Yeah, but you can't eat that. Anyway, KFC went ahead and made what appears to be an actual, edible surreal sandwich, The Double Down.

The above video made the rounds online last week, but I didn't think it was real- but then Fox News confirmed it:



Now I usually wouldn't use Fox News as a source for anything, and if you were to do so I would ridicule you to the point that it would be embarrassing for both of us. However, I really wanted to write this article so I could include the hilarious "surreal sandwich" description I posted just a few inches back...

Reader E-mail: "Robert De Niro to Sue Over Paintings"

This note got lost in the mail, which sucks because it seems like it's about a pretty big news story- one that combines our interest in art/film. Fortunately, no one else has broken this explosive story- so here goes...

JuggalUpdate

Why haven't we been blogging? Because we were at the muthafuqin GATHERING OF THE JUGGALOS!



Okay, we weren't really there. We were just joking, hope we didn't mislead anyone. Anyway, it's too bad we didn't go because it seems like the place to be if you're into underage and/or overweight women.

That was mean, actually. I feel bad I said that.

In actuality the worst part of being at the Gathering would be the dudes- they all seem to be that type of dude, a descendant of the hateful jock/frat boy of my youth who really loves metal and ends up at the Slayer concert, shirtless, screaming out requests for "Seasons in the Abyss" over and over again, right in your ear, then when they finally play it (as they were planning to, not because of his yelling) he goes nuts and starts a little mosh-pit with the people around him (you) and he's shirtless and possibly on PCP so you're accidentally getting to second base with him while he punches you in the face. Then the song ends, he yells "yeah!" (again, in your ear) then shakes your hand and give you a high-five as if you two had just been through some sort of combat together- and in a way YOU have, but not him, but he doesn't know. Then, when they start playing their next song, let's say "Captor of Sin," he offers you a joint, you turn it down, he looks up at the band, and yells out "Angel of Death!!!" (again, in your ear).

Anyway, imagine that guy described above but with shittier taste in music, and wearing clown make-up, in the woods, times several thousand.

Anyway, VideoGum posted the above video, they've got pictures and stuff too. Check it out. And from the looks of it, Andrew WK was nowhere in sight.
