Valentine's Day Goodies with Genuine Nerd Toby Radloff


This video is from 1989. I love hearing this guy talk. He sounds like a Dallek from Doctor Who. At least watch this until he tries to spin the pinwheel. Harvey Pekar based a character in the American Splendor comic book on him.

THE VALENTINE'S DAY SUCKS IPOD PLAYLIST

"The Future Mrs. Desdinova," Paris Hilton
After the last three post, you probably think I'm a romantic softy who loves Valentines Day. Truth is Valentines Day has not been kind to the Super Villain of the Ozarks. First off, my older sister, Villanova, would insisted on making me a Valentine box for school. They looked like what I imagine Liberace's elementary school Valentine box looked like.

In the sixth grade, I had a rotten teacher. He told the class that they didn't have to give a Valentine to any they didn't like. That year I only received five Valentines from a class of twenty-one kids (That teacher is running for a position on the Lebanon city council. I'd rather vote for this guy, who is running against him. He seems more reputable).

The "second" Eunice Moneymaker

First time I outed was after I made this post on the old blog about my junior high/high school crush, Eunice Moneymaker. A person calling himself "Rod Hance" was planning to e-mail the post to her. He also posted my real name on a local message board. The main reaction was "Who?" and "That makes sense. What is your point?" This "Rod Hance" guy was really a "Bubba" I went to junior high/high school with in Lebanon. His father was a local politician I was poking fun back then.

After that I stopped using a photo of the real Eunice Moneymaker and began using the photo above, which is from a 1950's yearbook (I have no idea who that girl is but she sure is cute - and now in her 70s). I will say that the original photo of the real Eunice Moneymaker is among the retro clutter at the top of the page. Oddly enough, someone at one point asked if that was a photo of Paris Hilton in middle school, because I had a running joke on the old blog that I planned to marry Paris Hilton (This is also what caused a local right-wing blogger to write a long tirade about how he thought Sarah Palin was more beautiful than Paris Hilton - Get a life!). After that I noticed that Eunice Moneymaker and Paris Hilton kind of look alike.

Eunice was always embarrassed that I showered her with gifts on Valentine's Day. My love for her received a chilly reception.  Old habits die hard and, on Thursday, I wished her a "Happy Valentine's Day" via Facebook and she wished me one back. Time changes things.

In college, I had a similar problem with a girl named Andrea. I found out that Eunice was at least nice to me. This little gal was pretty hateful and told me never to talk to her again. I recently found her on Facebook. She is still single. She also was working for the Romney/Ryan and a huge supporter of Todd Akin, so I now thank God that we didn't get together.

So what is the point to all of this? Well, readers if you haven't guessed, it means that I know the perfect songs for when things don't go right on Valentine's Day (or any other day). I'm not sure if KYTV's Ethan Forhetz has ever compiled a list like this, but it would be interesting to see his picks.

VALENTINE'S DAY CARTOON - Cupid Gets His Man (1936)

I may have mentioned it before, but I think some of my least favorite cartoons are the ones made by Van Beuren Studios. The early ones feature animals that all look exactly like Mickey Mouse (They even had Mickey and Minnie clone named Milton and Rita Mouse), most of the jokes go nowhere and there is usually a dose of either political incorrectness or vague sexual content. Here is a Van Beuren Studios cartoon that is actually fun. This one from their Rainbow Parade series features great artwork and design, fluid motion, an actual plot and humor that is closer to Warner Brothers cartoons with a mix of comical violence and pop culture references (A stork that talks like Major Bowes of Amateur Hour and a would-be couple that look and sound like W.C. Fields and Edna May Oliver). There is one bad African-American stereotype and comical yet disturbing sight on pants-less, genitalia-less male cupids.
