Both Tase and Myself have been on a GaGa kick, so here's a good lil' jam for errbody

Tay Zonday sings "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch"

Remember the infamous Youtube video "Chocolate Rain?" Well, here's the same artist (Tay Zonday) singing the Grinch's theme song. Try and stay tuned for his very insightful explanation of the deeper meaning of the song after he finishes singing. It's very entertaining.

CLASSIC

DRANKK Quote of the Day

So on the way to our swim meet at Monmouth University, some kid on the bus asked if we were near Jersey City (clearly confused) cause he saw a Checkers. Now although this makes no sense because Checkers is a chain (when i see a White Castle, do i assume im on route 37 in Toms River?), it lead my coach to ask, "what's Checkers? A strip club?" Needless to say I was in stitches, until the kid replied saying, "Nah, its like a McDonalds for black people."

Checkers, this is for you...I think you should consider that as your new slogan.

Votes N Hoes

Our most recent Purple Poll asked you, "What is your fave Chrimbo food/drink?"



Congrats to hot chocolate for winning with a romping 40% of the votes! I'm proud to announce that egg nog came in second place with 30%, as that is personally my favorite holiday treat. Slice-and-bake cookies came in 3rd place with gingerbread guys (or gingerbred if you're Kitty ;) ) in 4th place. And candy canes got no votes at all. :(

The votes are in!

In a recent poll taken last week, we asked you what Christmas movie you liked the best. Here are your results as promised:

1. A Christmas Story: 50%
2. Elf: 42%
3. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation: 28%
4. The Polar Express: 21%
5. The Santa Clause: 7%
6. A Charlie Brown Christmas: 7%

Look for more polls soon and don't forget to cast your vote!

Musica, Mas Musica

Idk if there are any of you out there who download the Itunes "Free Pick of the Week" once every 7 days religiously like I do - hey, I'll take any free, legal music I can get my paws on. But if you don't, you should certainly start. They always have a random alternative song or two, and they're usually pretty good songs.

If you get the chance get shopping there this week, download the "Itunes Holiday Sampler." I thought free music of any genre was great, but now they're hitting me with this free chrimbo music snowball, and it's like my dreams have come true.

To claim your prize, scroll to the bottom of your Itunes Homepage to the section titled, "Free on Itunes," and I think you can take it from there.

The Origin of DRANKk

Since Casey and I have started DRANKk, many people have asked us what the name is all about. Personally, I liked PurpleDRANKk because people who drink the sizzurp like it, love it, and cant get enough of it. I wanted people to feel the same way about our blog. Naturally. However, the culture of the drank is an interesting one. I've done all the hard work for you:

According to Urban Dictionary, Purple Drank is:

Purple Drank is an illegal recreational drink popular in the Southern United States rap community, whose main ingredients originally consisted of prescription strength cough syrup, containing codeine and promethazine, and either a carbonated soft drink (generally Sprite) or fruit juice. The purple-ish hue of Purple Drank comes from the dyes in the cough syrup. Recently, the term has expanded to cover mixtures including over-the-counter cough syrup and vodka in place of prescription cough syrup. Other terms for Purple Drank include Barre, Oil, Purple Tonic, Lean (or Southern Lean,) Drank, and Syrup (which is sometimes slangly pronounced as Sizzurp.)

The active ingredient of purple drank is codeine, an opiate medication contained in prescription strength cough syrups due to its antitussive properties. Some prescription cough syrups also contain anti-histamine medications, such as promethazine, which have a mild sedative effect. When taken in large quantities, both medications can lead to sedation and altered levels of consciousness.

Houston producer DJ Screw first popularized the concoction, which is widely attributed as a source of inspiration for the "chopped & screwed" style of hip hop music. Originally, the active ingredient of "Syrup" was cough syrup containing promethazine and codeine. The concoction first gained popularity in the underground Houston, Texas rap scene and later spread to other southern states.

And, of course, Grimace's Take on the DRANKk

Hopefully that cleared things up.

Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like DRANKKmas

Guido Day @ PPBHS

In celebration of the highly-anticipated Jersey Shore MTV show, some of us today decided to attend school all gweed-ed out.

This shit is gonna be epic.

A Very Gaga Christmas

In the YouTubelet featured below, Lady Gaga does Christmas... Need I say more?
Introducing "Christmas Tree."

23 Days till DRANKKmas!

Today in journalism, I tried to think about my christmas list that I have not made yet and naturally I was tempted to write Hippopotamus. Then it dawned on me that some DRANKK readers may not know this song!

Certainly everyone in the english speaking world should know it, so culture yourself and watch the video below:

This one is especially hilarious because the images that show up go along with the lyrics, but they are so random...I was laughing anyway. There is no official "music video" for it because the song was released in 1953 by eleven-year old Gayla Peevey.

As I searched YouTube for various other covers of the song, I found an IMPOSTER JoBro version...WHO ARE THEY KIDDING. This is why the JoBros are on my sh*t list.

Regardless, enjoy the song because it IS a classic. The original version that is.

Day One of Wimbo

We kicked off the celebrations today by dancing around in casey's kitchen with christmas songs blaring...not kidding. Fueled by hot chocolate with marshmallows, of course.

ITS DECEMBER 1ST PEOPLE!

What We're Watching Tonight:

So ABC Family is killin' it tonight with Santa Clause 3, The Escape Clause...if the Varsity Banquet doesn't keep up out too late, hopefully we won't miss it. If this proves to be the case, I suppose Eloise at Christmas Time will have to do :)

Christmas lists of favorite movies, songs, activities, foods, etc will be posted! I hear sleigh bells already...

25 Days of DRANKKmas!

We sincerely apologize for our lack of DRANKKing, but we are back and better than ever! (Yes, that is a hess truck reference)

Tase and I are SEWIOUS chrimbo enthusiasts, so naturally we are providing you with 25 days of DRANKKmas. Everyday a Chrimsome related post will be added for everyone's enjoyment. Spreading the holiday cheer people. Thats what we here at PD are all about.

Bev Banter

Introducing a new segment of PD: Bev Banter! Here we will be posting the all-too-frequent improper diction and syntax of everyone's favorite English teacher, and translating it.

I truly apologize for not thinking of this sooner.

OK, so here's a few Bevisms of late to get you started:

-RABACK ORAMA
-STANZERS
-SID ARTHUR

I see you scratching your head over there. No worries. That is a natural reaction to Bevisms. You usually won't see three at one time like that, so I'm sorry for springing them all on you. Now let me clear things up and hit you with the translations:

-BARACK OBAMA
-STANZAS
-SIDDHARTHA

Starting to make sense? That's OK, it;s not supposed to.

Look forward to more Bev Banter to come.



(No McDonalds were harmed in the writing of the post.)

Olivia Mirabella: High School Student or Rockette?

Perhaps you remember my pal Olivia from the video posted a couple weeks ago starring her and her sleep-talking habits (that was real sleep-talking by the way - I've gotten a couple of inquiries about that - all real stuff). Anyway, our favorite little starlet was on the PIX morning news Monday! Her dance team was shown practicing their routine for their Orange Bowl performance. Look for her in the second row and the second one from your right.

 

Quelle impressive!

procrastiNATION: DRANKK edition

So, as Casey had mentioned earlier, the idea of a website for procrastinating is something we all need, but luckily these blogs have done all the work for us. What else is better, is that we've provided the best ones for you right here on PD! However, I must give credit where credit is due, and that is to my APBiology teacher who hooked me up with the majority of these sites.

These are all hilarious, each one is worth scoping out.

Genius. I died.

Alright, so 2 latina posts are about to go down:

The first is an article about YouTube signing a deal with Univision, so all you biddies can catch your novellas on YouTube. Now you don't have to worry about remembering to Tivo Sabado Gigante...

The funniest part though is that the title of the article is TuTube...I giggled anyway.

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/16/youtube-univision-tutube/?src=twt&twt=nytimes

Secondly, if you havent seen the Chongalicious video..you really should.

Basically, the inspiration behind this (besides Fergie) is the abundance of cheesy cuban women/girls in the Miami/Hialeah area. Its hilarious mainly because its so true, but anyone not familiar with chongas will probably still get a kick out of it.

Take That 5-Dollar Footlong

Jersey Mike's is hosting a fundraiser for a food drive for children. I'm not sure of the details, but I do know that if you bring in any donation of money to J-Mikes (on 35 south) you get a free half a sub! Woo! But don't be greedy and give like 50 cents. It's for kids who can't afford to eat, so try to be generous. And you'll be rewarded with lunch on JM!

The Fattest, I mean, Happiest Place on Earth

So I survived one week in Disney World...It was a struggle. Lots of family bonding, lots of fat people from Ohio/Texas, lots of Southern Drawls. Luckily I was sippin on Arnold Palmers all day everyday.

Some things really irk me about WDW though-like why do grown people insist on taking pictures with characters? Um, HI creepy?! Also, people walk around in ridiculous Disney gear (hats, fannys, khaki shorts galore) and I'm not just talking midgees.

What I can give them credit on though is their expert way of making money. Those lanyards for pins? GENIUS. So much money is wasted on overpriced crap there, its an inspiration, really. So American.

And although there was meat lurking around every corner, every restaurant and chef was very accommodating to our vegetarian needs.

Now of course I documented some of my trip for my DRANKKers, so here are just a few shots from the week:

We saw the Magic Kingdom decorated for Halloween AND Christmas! Kinda Legit...

Watched many a 3D show...

Encountered Silly Hats...

Stayed at the Hilton Tuscany on International Drive...

Played Some Super-Sized Chess...

Had a Photoshoot Waiting for Our Cab...

Hung Out with Everybody's Favorite Mice...

And Saw a Reeeeeeeeeally Big Golf Ball...

Peace, Love, and Mickey Mouse.

Christie: Dunkin Donuts Favorite Governor

Okay, I'll try my hardest not to get too political on PD, 'cause we all know this is for ess's and gee's BUT come on NJ...really?

All I'm gonna say is, if he can't restrain himself from super sizing his value meal, how are we gonna expect him to restrain from drowning in NJ corruption? I smell a Jersey version of Bush...and it smells a lot like waffles.

.....This is when the slow clap begins.

I'm Not Dead

Okay, okay, I'll admit it, I've been slacking, but I am working on a serious Disney -themed Drankk post, so hold your breath!

Jam Wit Me Mon

I'm currently downloading music by Michael Franti & Spearhead. It's reggae, which is out of the norm for me, but I'm kinda really into it. You've prob heard their most popular song "Say Hey (I Love You)." It's on the cheesy side, but it's fun. Check it out!

Here is a video of Court when she was super wittle being harassed by her dog Comet.

Scary Movies AHHHH

The New Jersey Film Alliance is hosting a Halloween Spectacular tomorrow night - October 30th. Doors open at 7. There's a costume contest at 7:30 and the movies "Treevenge" and "Make-out with Violence" will be showing at 8. They're both fun, and scary Halloween - appropriate movies that I am personally looking forward to seeing.

It takes place at the Showroom on Cookman Ave. in Asbury Park tomorrow! So be there... Or else!
