Rambo, Laundry Detergent, and Lil Flip

I got back from a camping trip yesterday and haven't written in a while, so here's some more of the same crap you all are used to...

Concentrated Laundry Detergent:
I thought of this a couple weeks ago then forgot about it since I didn't do laundry for about a month. How can a company just make half of what they used to and sell it for the same price? There's no way that shit is 2x as strong and how could this possibly be tested on a regular basis? If I owned a company that made any type of liquid product, you better believe I would put all my shit in smaller bottles and market it as "twice as strong".

Late Night Talk Show Musical Acts:
For whatever reason I get really into the musical acts when I watch these talk shows. I got into The Strokes, one of my favorite bands (despite coming out with an album once every four years), after seeing them on SNL back in the day. I bring this up because one of the better performances I've seen went down on Leno last week and it's a must watch. I haven't listened to The Decemberists much, but they killed that and I will be investigating them further. That chick also creeps me out in an awesome way, if that's possible.

Guilty pleasures:
Speaking of music I was talking to somebody about musical guilty pleasures. Since my itunes contains the Spice Girls, Duran Duran and Will Smith (to name a few of the many), I argued that there was no such thing in order to not feel like a douche. But in all honesty there is. I only have a couple tracks from those aforementioned embarrassments, however I have over one hundred screwed up rap songs. If you're not privy to this genre - which wouldn't be surprising since this blog probably doesn't appeal to many weed-smoking southern rap fans - here is one of my personal favorites. If you can just look passed the awesomeness for one second, you have to admit that finer works of music have been produced. On the other hand, looking pased the awesomeness is not easy - "I just went to the car lot and bought a Lambo / I've got 7 DVDs and I'm watching Rambo." Rapping about owning 7 DVDs with Rambo being one of them only two lines after rhyming Expedition with fishin'... that shit is great. I don't even care that I could probably play random notes on my baritone and come up with a higher quality musical piece.

Rambo 2:
This is by far better than Rambo 1. In my opinion it is the best sequel ever. Not the best film that is a sequel, but the greatest improvement from original to second movie. From what I understand, in the first movie, they intentionally tried to limit the number of deaths atributed to Rambo, but in the second one, the opposite approach was taken, and cinematic greatness results. Also this exchange takes place:
Murdock: And if I were you... I'd never make the mistake of bringing this subject up again.
Trautman: Oh you're the one who's making the mistake.
Murdock: Yeah? What mistake?
Trautman: Rambo.
