In Celebration of Michael Jackson



Scott's Tip Of The Day: When Michael Jackson recorded Thriller, he probably never imagined the choreography from his music video would be reenacted by inmates at a prison in the Philippines. Shows how much he knew! Anyway, this video is a little old but I think it puts everything in perspective. Sure, Michael is gone. But there is still a man who can dance like him at Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center. That's just as good, right? I really hope American Idol finds a way to work him into next season. Perhaps they can have a live video feed from his prison cell?

In any case, have a happy 4th of July and I will be back to blog more next week! If you have any questions, comments, concerns feel free to email me at scottstipoftheday@gmail.com. I will answer any question you have. "Where did I leave my keys?" "I am hosting a human meat BBQ, how long should I leave the meat on the grill?" etc. etc. I am a valuable resource of knowledge. It would be a crime to waste me.

New York State Senate Deadlock


Scott's Tip Of The Day: New York State Senators. Look at all of you. You should be ashamed of yourself. Bills need to be passed. Important bills with big implications on such hotbed issues as education and gay marriage.... and all you can do is engage in petty partisan nonsense. Seriously guys, no one is going to reelect any of you if you can't play nice. What's the state paying you for? I am sick of reading about this in the news. You could have fixed this problem in like 5 mins. Governor David Paterson is legally blind. All you have to do is say "Yeah, uh... we resolved our issues and voted on everything, you were there, remember?' David Paterson won't want to look like an idiot. He'll be all "Oh yeah, thanks guys you can go home now." By the time he realizes what's up, you guys will all be on fancy vacations, funded by illegal lobbyist donations and misappropriated funds from your local elementary school. You guys are slimy politicians, you shouldn't need me to think of this for you.

Interview Tips


Scott's Tip Of The Day: So you're interviewing for a job? You had been working in the same place for 10 years and you don't remember how to interview. You're probably nervous too. Don't know what to do? Good thing I'm here to set you straight. Just follow my simple tips and you will be OK:

MASTERING THE INTERVIEW

-Always begin your interview by referring to your interviewer as "Colonel." The interviewer will then probably say, "I am not a colonel. I am not in the army, why did you call me that?" At this point say "Oh I assumed by your good posture and your chiseled body that I must be talking to a successful military man." Your interviewer will be flattered and this will set you on the right track for the rest of the interview.

-One thing that really frightens employers, especially the HR department is the prospect of lawsuits. No one will want to employ you if they suspect you will be a source of litigation. So what do you do? Allay their fears. Over the course of the interview, it is advisable that on at least 12 different occasions, you interrupt the interviewer to say "I just want to stress, I will not be suing you for sexual harassment if you hire me. Seriously, I would never sue you for millions of dollars. Seriously" They will feel a lot more comfortable hiring you after this disclosure.

-Gesticulate a lot when you are talking. Did you ever used to make shadow animals on the wall when you were a kid? Do that during your interview when you are talking. Also, clench your fist like an irate Mussolini and bang it on the table. If you really want to show you are passionate take your shoe off and slam it on your interviewers desk. Hey, it worked for Khrushchev! Oh wait, it didn't work for him. But it will probably work for you!

-When your interview is over, make sure to hug the person who interviewed you. Give them a big bear hug. Everyone shakes hands. That's pedestrian. You want to stand out. So give the potential boss a big hug and you'll get a lot of loving back.... in the form of a new job!

Follow these tips and you will be working in no time. What's that? Oh. Don't thank me. Just send me 10% of your new salary. That's all the thanks I need.

Bubbles


Scott's Tip Of The Day: It's a sad day when Michael Jackson dies. Everybody loved him. Especially the American judicial system, for it's not often that judges give a child molester two second chances. But hey, if you recorded Thriller you would have gotten away with diddling kids too.

In the wake of all of this, a lot of people are upset. Rightfully so. There's like over a million peeps in England who bought tickets to see Jackson live that are SOL. Hopefully they get their money back. If they bought scalped tickets I imagine they are really screwed. Then there's Michael's family. His kids Blanket, Blanket 2 and Blanket 3, or Price Blanket or whatever they're called. Lucky for them, Michael's mom, Katherine Jackson, pumped 9 babies out of her vuh-jay jay (for future reference it's called birth control Katherine, you can find it in any pharmacy), so they should be able to find an Uncle or Aunt to watch over them. Don't leave them with Jermaine though. He named one of his kids Jermajesty. That by itself should be considered some kind of child abuse, but that's another can of worms all together.

And then, there's someone we're all forgetting. Bubbles. Am I the only one that remembers this chimp? Michael slept with him in his room. He let Bubbles use his private bathroom. Then Michael had children, Bubbles got violent and Michael sent Bubbles away. Where is Bubbles during all of this? Is he still in his animal sanctuary? I didn't read about his chauefer driving him in his Chimp Limo to the hospital. He must still be hurting. Maybe Bubbles was embarassed that he still wears diapers? Maybe he didn't think the hospital staff would let him in? NO CHIMPS ALLOWED. What a backwards world we live in. I don't want to live in a world where a chimp can't visit me in the hospital.

Anyway, Bubbles, Michael was a little loopy, so don't take it personally. You don't have a private bathroom in your animal sanctuary and I am sure it's embarassing having all of those chimps watch you poop on the ground, but Michael loved you. I love you too Bubbles. I understand it's only natural to want to bite a kid named Blanket. I feel the same way, and I may have tried to bite him too. Let's do dinner sometime, yes? Have your chimps call my people. I know a great place we can get a bannana split.

Mark Sanford AWOL


Scott's Tip Of The Day: If you are the governor of a state, your constituents WILL notice if you dissapear for a week. If you are going to dissapear to Argentina to cheat on your wife, you better come up with a better excuse than "I may hike the Appalachian trail for a few days."

Possible excuses that would have worked:
-Swine Flu
-Went to top secret lab to have all memories of 1990's sitcom Dinosaurs removed from my memory
-Renditioned for suspected terrorist activity at an undisclosed military installation in unknown country
-I was waiting in line at the Post Office to mail a letter
-I'd fallen and I couldn't get up
-Followed Jonas Brothers on tour
-Feeling bloated from eating too many starches (Chicks will love this)
-Took the dog on a long walk
-Governor David Patterson was driving me home and we got lost....for a week....because he's blind
-Saw RV, fell into deep depression. Took me a week to come to terms with the fact I will never get those two hours of my life back.
-Kidnapped by Somalian pirates
-Kidnapped by Mexican drug cartel
-Kidnapped by Dick Cheney
-Kidnapped by Care Bears
-Spent week trying to figure out why people find Robert Pattinson relevant
-Arrested by Revolutionary Guard
-Heavy Fog on Oregon Trail caused me to lose 7 days.
-Ate candy stranger gave me, can't remember anything
-Got manhood stuck in glory hole.
-Told friend I would watch Cricket game with him, didn't realize the game took days
-I was here all along, didn't you see me?
-Had to go back in time to the 1950's to save Doc
-Boy George chained me to his wall


Any of these excuses would have been better than "I might hike the Appalachian trail." Remember for next time!

Remastered Remixed Redux



Scott's Tip Of The Day: When one goes back to change something that is already great, they usually ruin it. Just look at Star Wars. Why did you change the Ewok Dance song at the end of Return of the Jedi? Did you think I wouldn't notice, George? I did! Why did you replace guns with walkie talkies in E.T., Stephen Spielberg! Wouldn't it be funny if Elliot got capped?

But on the other hand, sometimes, a fresh set of eyes can really improve something. The above Youtube video is a perfect example of that.

The Telephone...It Still Works


Scott's Tip Of The Day: I know with the advent of instant messaging, Skype and Twitter there are a many new ways for people to communicate. But the phone still works. Did you hear what happened to Perez Hilton this weekend? He was allegedly assaulted by Will.i.am and his security guards. He then proceeded to tweet he needed help and wanted the police to come immediately. Apparently the police didn't come and he continued to tweet for police assistance. You know why the police didn't come, Perez? Because the police still use the telephone. They don't tweet, you retard! You can't tweet crimes to the police. They are too busy locking up murderers and rapists to check their blackberry for tweets. "OMFG, Perez tweeted he needs help, lets drop everything and run to his side. Framing this black man for drug crimes can wait, lets just go help Perez!" Get real! Maybe if you stopped antagonizing celebrities this wouldn't happen?

If I upset you Perez, I'm not sorry. Tweet about it. Blog about it. Clearly, I am not worried about you inflicting any physical pain on me.
