obligatory Oscar post

In keeping with current trends, Armagideon Time presents our own Oscar wrap-up..

...or is that "a wrapped up Oscar?"

A tense moment on the red carpet between Adeline McGillicuddy, Oscar Xavier Giuseppe Guevara, and the Plastic Dog.

Oscar celebrates his (half-)Mexican heritage.

An awkward encounter between Oscar and his estranged long lost twin brother.

Score! Oscar lifts a baby carrot from Maura's sack of swag...

...and efforts by the security staff to retrieve the purloined vegetable fail miserably.

"Hey, pal, are you planning on finishing that hamburger?"

Oscar responds to Ryan Seacrest's inane questions.

The Specials - Do the Dog (from The Specials, 1979) - Let's see if I remember the steps to the dance. Left-right-left-sniff your partner's ass, left-right-left-knock over the trash barrel in the kitchen, left-right-left-bark madly at anyone who passes by the house.

Boards of Canada - Oscar See Through Red Eye (from The Campfire Headphase, 2005) - Oscar see through googly eyes, actually. As a dog who takes his downtime very seriously, Oscar has a strong appreciation for well crafted chillout music and this track in particular.

Oscar & The Majestics - I Can't Explain (from Pebbles, Vol. 7: Chicago, Pt. 2, 1994) - Let me try to, then. As 60's British beat and mod groups took their cues from American soul and R&B music, American garage groups took their cues from the British beat and mod groups. It's a process akin to making a sloppy mimeograph of a grainy photostat, which sums up this wonderfully awful cover version of The Who's 1965 classic.

Your steps for "do the dog" were laugh out loud funny.

ThanX for that.

:-)

BTW... the "children" are cute.
