Boxcar Hex sings!

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

For some reason Boxcar was singing at least an octave too high. Confusingous thinks someone slipped something into his franks and beans. But it should pass.

Anyway, check it out here.

Fortune for a Monday

Nothing is funnier than a bad joke gone awry.

On second thought …

Friday, June 26th, 2009

A few weeks back Confusingous suggested that ‘Something More’ by Sugarland was a bad song to listen on the way to work on Monday.

On second thought, ‘I Hate My Job’ by Uncle Leon and The Alibis may be way worse.

Wine is fine but whiskey is quicker. Though breaking a whiskey and wine bottle on your head is quickest.

With the country in dire straits, the president needed the advice from places he had not yet looked. Unfortunately, Dire Straits was unavailable for consultation. So, they called in the next best thing: Styx!

A high maintenance woman wants neither a maintenance man, according to Toby Keith, or a low budget man, according to Hank Williams Jr. Think about it.

Now that is talent!

Having trouble staying awake?

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Confusingous knows. We all work so hard. Running through life. It takes a major strain on body and mind. Sometimes we feel like we just need to close our eyes. But we can’t because life is going on and on and on.

Well, Confusingous has an easy solution. Stop mainlining energy drinks. Stop burning your extremities. Now get your tooth picks out of your eyes and take a look at this gem:

Thank You New York Post.

Now, try sleeping. Ever again.

Your Welcome,
Confusingous

I’d take a good laugh over a good punch in the face, anyday.

Re-Instate Hank Williams into The Grand Ole Opry

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

We all know it is rare for Confusingous to involve himself in a cause.
However, this one could not be overlooked.

Thank you University of Alabama - Birmingham

Click here to sign the petition to reinstate Hank Williams Opry membership!

The Opry fired Hank on August 11, 1952 due to his drinking issues. Hank Williams died on January 1, 1953 and the issue was never able to be resolved. Since then, the Grand Ole Opry has used the music and image of Hank Williams to promote it’s show and products. The Opry owes Hank Williams and his family the courtesy of returning his membership if they choose to use his legacy for financial gain.

Please be sure to sign the petition so that The Grand Ole Opry may be told your opinion: that they should do right by Hank!

The Ballad of Little Bastard

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

A song for your heart brought to you by Boxcar Hex.


The Ballad of Little Bastard

Words by Boxcar Hex Lubinger
(Based on an essay by Dana Cormaney)
© 2009, Zen Fuego Songs

It was September of Nineteen Fifty Five
And Mr. James Dean was still alive
And looking for a killer ride
There was the Salinas Races
Where he wanted to set the pace
And he needed a demon on his side

So he found himself a ’55 Spider
With an able mechanic beside her
That he thought might do the trick
Well he kicked all the tires
Upped the hood, looked inside her
And he knew she’d run might quick

So he put his money down
And right then, without a sound
The young mans fate was sealed
For down that Lonesome Highway
Little Bastard would fly away
Like a devil on racing wheels

Now all his friends said no
But you know he wanted it to go
So the engine he started to tweak
So said Obi Wan Guiness
That is according to a witness
‘That particular automobile will kill you in a week’

And so it was seven days later
Little Bastards engine was like a ripe po-tater
And they rode down the road for the race
But a truck turned onto the street
And a load of fast metal did meet
And The Angel of Death kissed that very place

Little Bastard was badly mangled
But shrewd George Barris did wrangle
A deal to own all the Spyder’s parts
So it was put on a trailer
And the trucks bindings sure did fail her
And a mechanics leg sure did smart

Two doctors wanted to make their cars dance
And they knew Barris would give them a chance
So they bought some pieces of the Porsche
One of the docs car hit a tree
Where he did then die instantly
And the others car ended up looking like borscht

Someone else tried to use its tires
And he wasn’t too surprised
When they blew his car onto the gravel
Someone else tried to steal
Little Bastards haunted steering wheel
And cut his arm on some twisted metal

Now some people had an idea in mind
To take the carcass down the line
And teach kids not to drink and drive
So they put it in a police garage
Which burned into a flaming mirage
That only Little Bastard made it out of alive

While on display it busted a kids hip
And crushed a driver when it did slip
Off the bed of the mans truck
Did it cause a truck to lose its breaks?
Some bad mojo is all it takes
And Little Bastard was filled with that kinda luck

While being shown in New Orleans
It did something new and obscene
And busted up into eleven pieces
No one there could explain why
But luckily no one had to die
Not men, cats, dogs, horses, or mee-ses

On a truck bound for Californ-I-A
Starting in Miami, F-L-A
Little Bastard was ready for yet another trick
‘Cause that there truck never arrived
And no one neither dead nor alive
Knows the end of Little Bastards epic

So if you see Little Bastard running active
The best advice that I can give
Is to high tail it out and start to pray
‘Cause seeing a ghost might be quite a sight
But it ain’t either good nor is it as right
As living to see yet another day
