"HAS ANYBODY SEEN MY TAMBOURINE?"

Weekend Wonkette Returns… This Weekend!

Enjoy getting killed tonight, America, by blood zombies and Sarah Palin on the streets of your neighborhoods. And then come right here tomorrow for a second installment of Weekend Wonkette, where we randomly post more stuff about nothing on our days off because there is an election coming up. Sara will be posting tomorrow, and all three of your editors will be posting on Sunday. Until then, enjoy this retarded video that Wonkette roommate operative “Rob” forced us to watch last night.

    No comment.

  2. Here is another “All American” Tim Curry Halloween standard

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmxBb3RdnT8

    (fun starts at 35 seconds)

  3. Deepthroat says at 6:01 pm, October 31st, 2008

    why, Jim? WHY???

  4. facehead says at 6:02 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Scandalabra: win.

    I know we are all your loyal slaves and all, but don’t ever post a video like that again.

  5. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!1!

  6. HuskyMescan says at 6:03 pm, October 31st, 2008

    this is the best scary Curry:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG1y_YsxANo

    and you know this.

  7. Ugh, then it all turns disco and Tim Curry starts to fan dance.

    Why must dreams always turn to nightmares?

  8. Promise of Sexy Sara Saturday absolutely makes my weekend.

  9. Lord Foppington of Dandyshire says at 6:11 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Tim Curry must’ve really been behind in his rent, or been snorting one too many pixie-stix. Either way, a cracktastic beginning to my FIVE AND A HALF DAY Halloween-Election day binge.

  10. slappypaddy says at 6:17 pm, October 31st, 2008

    I clearly do not have near enough rose coloring in my glasses.

  11. Deepthroat says at 6:18 pm, October 31st, 2008

    “Has anybody seen my tambourine?… I borrowed all my moves from Ben Vereen… Do you want to jump on my trampoline?…

    magical.

  12. Texan Bulldoggette says at 6:20 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Whoo hoo…weekend Wonkette. A good reason not to get so drunk you can’t read the type on the monitor or find the right keys on the keyboard without squinting.

  13. user-of-owls says at 6:26 pm, October 31st, 2008

    I had the guys over at 538 run the numbers, and they found a positive linear relationship between the number of weekend postings and the number of Gawker empire layoffs.

  14. ProfessorJukes says at 6:27 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Sorry, couldn’t make it past first through minutes. Please don’t do that to me again. Besides, I hate watching communists, and he used to be an officer on the submarine Red October.

  15. DemmeFatale says at 6:30 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Rush: Thanks! Doesn’t Tim make you shiver with antici…pation?

  16. JohnnyMeatworth says at 6:34 pm, October 31st, 2008

    how HERE is some Tim Curry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60Zx78O3Bb4

  17. HuskyMescan says at 6:44 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Now THIS is scAry:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=623u3otwK78

    Hahaha .. McCain cannot bring himself to say Anchorage Annie is qualified to be pres.

    aRRggggghhhhrrrrggg bluarrgghaaargghsshhffff arrrgghggg

  18. user-of-owls says at 6:44 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Oh poo. Studs Terkel died. Bet he would have loved to hang on ’til next Wednesday.

  19. HomoElectus says at 6:45 pm, October 31st, 2008

    shit, now i am really worried about all those cassettes i left in idaho.

  20. Texan Bulldoggette says at 6:48 pm, October 31st, 2008
  21. Das Storminator says at 6:48 pm, October 31st, 2008

    This movie is better known to those pervs who had a thing for a preteen Fairuza Balk (the titular Worst Witch). It also has that creepy old lady from “The Facts of Life” and an older (but still sexy) Mrs. Peel.

  22. PoliTacky says at 6:51 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Here is your last blingee for the weekend:

    http://blingee.com/blingee/view/74700298-WTF-MCCAIN

    (I pulled the McCain clip from this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=623u3otwK78 )

    I’m off to consume drinks with too much grenadine “blood” in them! Happy Spooky Death Day, wonks!

  23. DoctorCulturae says at 6:53 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Deepthroat: And don’t forget your hair might turn green or your dentist into a queen, and you may rupture your spleen onto your flat screen which isn’t too keen. Okay. Time for lil’ drinkie #2 now.

  24. StephanieInCA says at 6:58 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Ohhh. I think i’m going to rent Clue the movie now.

    FLAMES! ON THE SIDE OF MY FACE!

    i have obviously started drinking already.

  25. ColdCupofHope says at 7:08 pm, October 31st, 2008

    London and Idaho should never be put together in a sentence, a song lyric, or by people wearing bat-shaped bow ties. Nor should toads and bass guitars.

    100% pure nightmare fuel.

  26. irisheyes says at 7:09 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Yeah, I’m gonna pass on the Tim Curry psychadelic road trip, and instead offer this bit of juicy goodness:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn6sOoSS8Do

  27. Chief Grinning Eagle says at 7:13 pm, October 31st, 2008

    It must be Bullwinkle Horror Show. I hope Bullwinkle’s mom remembers to put the bullet proof vest on under the costume. Anything can happen on Halloween. Your Moose could turn into a Hockey Puck.

  28. tocute2btrue says at 7:17 pm, October 31st, 2008

    I kent watch this SHIT,I’m out to get McCain before I get hanged like Sarah.

  29. bitchincamaro says at 7:26 pm, October 31st, 2008

    NO way we will authorize OVERTIME. We are NOT WEALTHSPREADERS! But please, entertain us.

  30. user-of-owls says at 7:30 pm, October 31st, 2008

    bitchincamaro: I think the operable term is ‘redistributocrats’ or ‘redistribucionistas’ for the Univision crowd.

  31. shortsshortsshorts says at 7:32 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: I can’t tell you how often that happens… watching the comments on Wonkette dive deeper and deeper into the bottle, and knowing I am guilty for it.

  32. Texan Bulldoggette says at 7:36 pm, October 31st, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: It helps me to shut one eye….kind of pirate-y like. But I’m sure we all have our own coping mechanisms thanks to those freaking debates & “my friends”.

  33. Scandalabra says at 7:39 pm, October 31st, 2008

    I too, had a boyfriend named Studs, once. Honey, he knew from redistribution, let me tell you…

  34. My BFF Nate Silver just now says:

    Running the numbers. Looks like they’ll contain good news for Senator Obama.

    fap fap fap fap fap fap fap…

  35. Not gay enough.

  36. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 7:59 pm, October 31st, 2008

    AHHHH! Witches! AHHHHH! Somebody call TRUECHRISTIAN! Somebody call Palin’s African witch hunter!

    Could this be our secret weapon in the coming Armageddon wars? A deadly combination of a Hollywood, liberal foreigner, gay singing, a fabulous pink cape, and Satanic Halloween witchcraft should be enough to stop a fundie heart.

    Transexual Transvestite from Transylvania or Antichrist - you decide?

  37. bitchincamaro says at 8:00 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Dave J.: At least 3 times today, I heard: “Well, (insert robo-reporter name) it’s just a question of how BIG He shall win.” Now I know DOOM is lurking.

  38. I forgot how freakin’ scary the 80’s were.

  39. bitchincamaro says at 8:12 pm, October 31st, 2008

    bitchincamaro: Nonetheless, I lerrrve Nate Silver.

  40. If you want a song that is both ghoulish and terrible, look no further than Jimmy Cross’s 1965 non-hit “I Want My Baby Back”.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xek58Z14V0

  41. MISTAHCOUGHDROP says at 8:26 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Is it still okay to post krap about Sarah Palin? Dodo here: http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/news/press_releases/2008/palin-09-17-2008.html

  42. keepinitrealyo says at 8:34 pm, October 31st, 2008

    There is no better sign of professionalism than looking good doing bad material.

  43. ocgabacho says at 8:36 pm, October 31st, 2008

    StephanieInCA: Flames! Breathing… Breathless… Heaving Breathes!

  44. iwillsavethispatient says at 8:38 pm, October 31st, 2008

    MISTAHCOUGHDROP: Wow - let’s give her her due here - it takes some skill in a field to win an annual award after only being known for 6 weeks! Way to hit it out of the park, SP!

  45. MISTAHCOUGHDROP says at 8:39 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Great illustrations of Sarah Palin on famous artist Zina Saunder’s site: http://www.zinasaunders.com/

    I particularly enjoyed her wrestling a bloody Lady Liberty in the snow.

  46. hamletta says at 9:22 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Oh, my, I loves me some Tim Curry! Not all his musical excursions were this cheesy, though. I have one album from the late ’70s that’s pretty good.

  47. Pop Socket says at 9:33 pm, October 31st, 2008

    I saw Spamalot in previews and Tim Curry was the only diva that didn’t come out and sign autographs at the stage door.

    Just sayin’.

  48. bitchincamaro says at 9:54 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Hahaha, I love my few remaining fellow Wonk-lurkers, but I pity my sugar-huffing, bong-sharing, uncommitted (why else would you be partying with half-naked, hermaphroditic, pirate-suited, pedarasts) fence-sitters. The (real) AMERICAN peoples, like bitchincamaro, have already voted, and PARTIED!

    I shall now eat my surplus, straight-pin laced, KIT-KATS, and wonder why I am soooo obsessed with hyphenated adjectives. W-T-F-?

  49. Tony Blair imitation? Okay, I suppose not. Far too masculine.

  50. OzoneTom says at 10:10 pm, October 31st, 2008

    There’s no Tim Curry performance that can’t be enhanced by clown makeup. And I mean that in the best possible way.

  51. bitchincamaro: The committed are on board with the Rapture. The uncommitted want to know if there is an overhead luggage fee.

  52. palmerdawg says at 10:17 pm, October 31st, 2008

    You can’t post shit on Huffingtonpost, what a drag!

  53. larz:
    At least the drugs were of better quality. They were the only vehicle that ensured safe passage. Big, generous baggies of sticky, green primo Hawai’ian buds.

  54. Worlds End says at 10:25 pm, October 31st, 2008
  55. Wonkette Weekend? My bail bond probably won’t extend that far. So:
    Hippie Pro-Obama video. “Vote for That One”.

  56. FreshCliches says at 10:34 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Leave it to me to fuck with everyone’s Halloween ch’i, but a Chicaaaaaguh icon who would’ve loved to have seen Hopey’s inaugural just died.

    RIP Studs Terkel

  57. Worlds End: Libtards attack. Oh noz.

  58. 3-legged Bloodhound says at 10:42 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Famous last words?

    “So here we are. We have a choice to make.”
    - Studs Terkel

  59. 3-legged Bloodhound: Klaatu barada nikto

  60. Snarkfest says at 11:13 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Deepthroat: no - that’s ‘Why Tim, Why?!”.

  61. AlexTrebeksGirl says at 11:17 pm, October 31st, 2008

    I hate drudge. I hate drudge. I hate drudge. I hate him. That ass. I also hate that HBO showed stupid Recount. Everyone is going to kill themselves if Obama loses. Just do it in a way that is good for the environment. Turn off your appliances please.

  62. trondant says at 11:18 pm, October 31st, 2008

    MISTAHCOUGHDROP: These are fucking awesome - thanks!

  63. facehead says at 11:21 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Since we are all posting our favorite music which everyone else hates:

    AESOP ROCK

    “None Shall Pass” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1u43KDiWD0
    (spooky, creepy, completely appropriate)

  64. HuskyMescan says at 11:25 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Happy Halloween, kandarian demons.

    Holy shiite, here’s a poll from nazi website kos:

    Arizona

    President: McCain 48, Obama 47
    President (already voted): McCain 42, Obama 54

  65. facehead says at 11:26 pm, October 31st, 2008

    facehead: Oh, what’s that facehead? You want more Aesop Rock?

    Well ok then:

    “Commencement at the Obedience Academy” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srEeu4D0-GM

    (turn this up as loud as you can, try to listen to what he actually says, and shake your ass)

  66. 3-legged Bloodhound says at 11:38 pm, October 31st, 2008

    S.Luggo: amen brutha.

  67. 3-legged Bloodhound: Thanks. For anyone else, to repeat myself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fTcdsRc1gE

  68. Sire Says says at 12:06 am, November 1st, 2008
  69. Sire Says: No.

  70. AlexTrebeksGirl says at 12:48 am, November 1st, 2008

    My point is that the election stealing is fully underway. I hate conspiracy theories, but the same companies are in charge and this stupid poll is a plant to make the election stealing seem like it was coming. Also, have you noticed how much Bible spice says “when people go in the booths, they will realize”. I hate them so much. Hopey do something damn it!

  71. Worlds End says at 1:17 am, November 1st, 2008
  72. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 1:31 am, November 1st, 2008

    AlexTrebeksGirl:
    O ye, of little faith. NoBama Hussein is too intelligent and ambitious not to take something like attempted voter stealing into account, and the electoral map isn’t as close as it was in 2000 or 2004. Plus, the Democrats have the power of witchcraft on their side.

  73. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:39 am, November 1st, 2008

    AlexTrebeksGirl: This is why Johnson McBain er whatever his name was will win.
    Who is the real Alex Trebek?

  74. facehead says at 2:18 am, November 1st, 2008

    AlexTrebeksGirl: What is a late night drunk and indignant rambling?

    I’ll take Jap/Anus Relations for 1000.

  75. druranium says at 3:13 am, November 1st, 2008

    YES!!! Things have gotten really weird around here. The end is in sight.

  76. Jewdishoowary Square says at 3:18 am, November 1st, 2008

    Hey, somebody found Tim Curry’s audition tape for Rocky Horror Picture Show!

  77. keepinitrealyo: Or looking bad doing bad material, which is much of the Bush admiministration. Rock, umm, you know, on somewhere.

  78. Darehead says at 4:55 am, November 1st, 2008

    So, we get this on the weekend, instead of really yummy treats like the juicy scandalous lawsuit against Norm Coleman’s Iranian benefactor?

  79. JamesMichaelCurley says at 4:57 am, November 1st, 2008

    Pop Socket: Back in many days past, Rocky Horror Picture Show was on the Roxy Theater stage in Hollywood as its very early live “Cabaret” style production as The Rocky Horror Show. I and several friends from work went many times. After the show we would go to Clementine’s in Beverly Hills to do a little drinking. Tim Curry and other cast members (Meat Loaf for one) were often there and drank with the crowd until morning. We were there because Tim Curry would mention Clementine’s in the show. So I guess thirty some years later the crowd adulation gets a little wearisome. Also, when I saw Spamalot, several people were there because of the Rocky movie and a few had almost no clue about Monty Python. If it is ever available on DVD find the first stage production of Amadeus, for a stunning Tim Curry performance as an immature, ego centric Mozart (fe out shines the Tim Hulce version).

  80. pourmecoffee says at 8:08 am, November 1st, 2008

    Larry Eagleburger just called me to apologize for saying Sarah Palin is retarded. He’s up to the “R’s” in case anyone cares.

  81. My name is Andrew Ryan.

  82. AlexTrebeksGirl says at 9:00 am, November 1st, 2008

    Anonymous Office Zombie: Every form of witchcraaft. Lawwwwd make a way for Sarah. But Sarah IS the witch.Worlds End: I saw that. Wonkette has a responsbility to open up an election company if we lose Tuesday.

  83. When in the song do I get to throw toast into the air?

  84. DoctorCulturae says at 10:34 am, November 1st, 2008

    AlexTrebeksGirl: Buck up ATG! I’m neuroasthenic too, but I made some calls. Resist complacency.

    Look. The Hopemaster was not only a community organizer, but one who cut his teeth in the bowels of CHI (a horrible image, but I’m going with it), and though it probably doesn’t get as much attention as South Central or the Bronx, it’s probably the toughest scene in the country. He’s likely seen every flimflam scam in the book. If Dielbold and the Rovians take this down, the entire ‘merican project looks suspect…again. But, at this point since Team Change is cool I am going to decide to be cool.

    Gore spaced out. Kerry never checked in. Hopemaster has had eye of the tiger throughout. He bested the two best political minds of the last 30 years: the Clintons. To me that says he knows about dirty tricks and has his own stealth counterattacks. He started with the “right” ground plan, and by that I mean not only right effectively, but the morally right plan. We all know it.

    I will now stick more pins in my bitterz effigy doll.

  85. I has a sad. Jim Newell is sleeping. Ken Layne is at the gun shop. And Sara is probably still out partying as Sara Palin. No weekend wonkette yet.

  86. nuckingfutz says at 10:59 am, November 1st, 2008

    Um, hell-oh. Is this thing on? I just got up from my post-Halloweenie stupor for a little Wake N’ Bake (prop. 2 to the 15, peeps!), and before I head backs to bedz, I want a little Sara love. Alas, the Sara love is in short supply this morning.

    Why doez Sara hate the Hung Overz?

  87. AlexTrebeksGirl says at 11:05 am, November 1st, 2008

    DoctorCulturae: You’re right. Sorry. I know we’ll win.

  88. Heywood Floyd says at 11:11 am, November 1st, 2008

    Right, Jim, “Rob” forced you to watch this last night.

  89. Memo

    In re: video - wtf?

  90. OT…Huffpo has an opinion piece that is very critical of Obama’s tax plan. It is written by Lynn Forester DE ROTHSCHILD.

    Was Montgomery Burns unavailable? Or the Monopoly Man?

  91. problemwithcaring says at 11:48 am, November 1st, 2008

    Monkey: Srs. When the first thing over AP this morning is news that the Muslin terrorist President Elect’s non-having visa illegal immigrant relatives, are trying to virtually “suicide bomb” the US Immigration Office, I definitely need Wonkette to ’splain things to me in “hung-Over” snarkonics.

  92. Darehead says at 11:56 am, November 1st, 2008

    John McCain just called and said this weekend wonkette thang is just a gauzy feel-good broken promise.

  93. WonkaBee says at 12:28 pm, November 1st, 2008

    Darehead: and he can tell you about gauze! Why, when he was in that pow camp…

  94. Is this a joke? You’ve had two postings so far today. I want to work weekends like you do.
