Big Hog's Blog's first log

This is the first blog of Big Hog's Blog. 

I'm actually not a hog. I'm a bloke. 

Sort of like how Donkey Kong isn't a Donkey at all. He's an ape.

And he's not even an ape. 

He's a fuckin' cartoon character made for a video game by Shigeru Miyamoto. 

And he wasn't even the main character. He was the bad guy. 

Not even the main bad guy. That was Bowser. 

And Nintendo hired a guy named 'Doug Bowser' as the head of Nintendo America. How fuckin' funny is that? Anyway I digress....

Pixar then ripped off Shigeru and his Donkey Kong Ape to create Wreck-It Ralph. 

And this blog I suppose is about shit like that I guess.

Thanks!

BeReal? More like GET REAL

I'm 30 years old. My 20s couldn't have ended more recently but it's happened already: I'm an old fart. I can't blame BeReal: the herald of this revelation. It's just a vessel shedding light on one of life's inevitable truths. It's something I always believed would happen. But maybe not to me? Such a smug, naive delusion this was. I'm embarrassed I ever believed it.  The signs were there of course. "Rick 'n' Morty is so original and funny." Ok.  " You have you heard the new Billy Eilish? it's iconic." Holy fuckin' hell. Ok whatever floats your boat kid. "Oh fuck! I'm being cyberbullied!" Oh no. Sorry I didn't mean for that to sound that sarcastic.  Like every generation before me, I was excited about the youth. What will be their contribution to culture? How will they find new ways to stick it to the man? I was set to be stunned. And I was... ...stunned with disappointment.  I was ready to shameles...

What does your COVID vaccine say about you?

This is a haiku What does your COVID vaccine  say about you?... dude:  AstraZeneca - You’re a sensual risk taker. You’re over 30 and lovin’ it #wotclot.   Pfizer - You’re too cool for easy transportation and get pretty faded, pretty quickly. You call all your anti-vax haters ‘Mrs. Doubt-Pfizer’. Johnson & Johnson - One dose of you is more than enough.    Novavax - Good with new people and particularly popular in the UK for less than obvious reasons (like Nando’s).    Moderna - Like Pfizer but you have a funnier name. You also like pregnant women. You love hijinks and hate goodbyes.    Sinovac - You make a bad first impression, but your second impression is nearly ok.    Sputnik V - You’re a true underdog. Everybody scoffs and laughs at you at the beginning but you soon prove them wrong. You’ve got nothing to do with space though, and this surprises people. (the editor) Dan.

RAP METAL STILL EXISTS (THOUGHTS ON TALLAH AFTER THEIR SHOW DOWNSTAIRS AT THE DOME)

Rap metal exists. It exists as much now as it existed when it first started to exist.  Tallah first found me during the pandemic. I was deep into the 6ix9ine lore and he'd just put out that song about being back - and just how back he was from jail after grassing on every person he'd ever met plus Cardi B.               Shrewd viralists Tallah picked up the song and refashioned it into a nuts-to-butts nu-metal banger which quested its way on to my timeline and entered my eyes and ears and I thought it sounded cool. I powered up the Spotify and got listening. It turns out 6ix9ine is a good blueprint for Tallah. Trying different styles, features and stunts to gain a some notoriety. A band made from YouTuber Justin Bonitz, someone savvy with the algorithms, clickbait and Patreon (check out our EP of Alladin covers?) and the son of legendary Dream Theatre drummer Mike Portnoy. They've also fired a  bloke  for being dodgy. And pu...
