Random Acts of Shifeness

  • Random Acts of Shifeness will continue after this message from our sponsor, Match.com


  • If you ever wake up with a Michael Bolton song stuck you know it is going to be one of those days.

  • Speaking of horrible music, have you been Rickrolled yet? Rickrolling is a new trend in online posting, in which a link is apparently provided to a seemingly interesting source, when in fact, it is a link to a Rick Astley video, "Never Gonna Give You Up".

  • I just got my batch of Girl Scout cookies, and those effin' Samoa cookies are so delicious. I want Samoa soap, Samoa toothpaste, Samoa soft drinks, Samoa croutons. I think you get the picture.

  • The Ultimate Peep Show.


  • Check out this awesome picture. Absolutely amazing. I don't know how they did it.

  • Ask and ye shall receive. Billy Pilgrim wanted to see Quincy in action so I proudly present for your viewing pleasure, "The Attack of the Fat Basset."

  2. I assume that youtube link you've titled as "picture" goes to the aforementioned video. Nice try Shife! Maybe next time! Anyway, I actually have already been rickrolled, although I love that song for it's comedic value, and sing it whenever possible so as to get it stuck in other people's heads.

    I mean, come on! Never gonna give, never gonna give!

    Solid gold baby. See you in May big guy. That's right, I'm scheduled to make a week and a half appearance in your part of the world in less than two months! Please begin preparations now.

  3. LOL. I effin hate those Samoa cookies... bleh. I despise coconut.

    LOL @ Peep show.

    I HAVE been Rickrolled and shame on you for trying. Sheesh. I do love that song and the pop-up version (why is this not on the air anymore?)of the video. Apparently the bartender showed up drunk for the shoot and had attitude. And they filmed it in one day.

    Samoa cookies, indeed.

  4. Yes, thank you for the Rickroll. I really needed a memory of junior high to make me shudder about a time when I wore my hair with the giant bow as well.

    Where on earth did you find "Peep Show"??? I'm still laughing at that picture.

    Samoas rule!!!

  5. Hi, just thought I'd stop by for a visit after seeing you out and about for awhile now! Well, hello! This post was chock full o' delightful offerings: The bassett (magical), the rickrolling (I love to be rickrolled, who doesn't?), the memory of tasty tasty Samoas...

  6. Oh, and the Peeps conceptual art was pure genius.

  7. As I showed the image to my husband -- "get it - Peep Show" my daughter chimed in, "what's a peep show?" We quited her with some girl scout cookies.

    Have several boxes still in my living room to deliver/mail off. Samoas are good, but I could knock off a box of the Do-si-dos in seconds.

  11. Quincy is so cute. I never knew you sounded so girly.

  12. Even though I knew that awesome picture link you had was in fact Rick Astley I still clicked on because I love that song. Because I really don't see anything wrong with a skinny white guy with red hair singing like a black man.

  15. Rick Astley and Michael Bolton songs are the worst way to hear in the morning (perhaps Lil Kim's How Many Licks is a better choice?). The sad part is that I actually hummed these tunes as a teenager. Forgive me Mr. Shife for I have sinned:)

    Okay, I fell for the Rickroll. I have an excuse though...my 2 year old was up most of the night last night so I'm not functioning on all cylinders...yeah, that's it!

    Quincy is so funny!!! LOL!!!

  17. I want to see the peeps floating in a pool of syrup using samoas as life-preservers, with Quincy standing at the side of the aforementioned pool of peeps'n'syrup, as if about nto dive in to rescue said peeps. All this Hassellhoffian action could be set to the soundtrack of the fabulous rick Astley's "Never going to give you up", implying Quincy's desire to rescue every peep before they perish. Save you a bunch of space...

  18. i can now safely say that it is indeed your voice I hear in my head. For the longest time I thought it was my conscience. but nope, its you.
    Rick Astley and Micheal Bolton should do a comeback tour together. The Tshirts alone would be worth it.

  23. So what's wrong with Rick Astley? His was the first cassette tape I purchased waaaaaaay back when!

    Quincy is such a cutie!!! You're one lucky man!

    I just got my shipment of GS cookies from Skii today! YAY!!!! And LOVED the "Peep show!"

  24. I have a theory about Somoas. If you were to actually decode the ingredients one the main ingredients is Crack. That is the only explaination for me waking up naked in my living room surrounded by empty somoa boxes.
