From ScottW — MORE GONZO CELLO!!! June 10, 2011

These guys are too sexy for their shirts, too sexy for your party, too sexy for their cats.

Hang in there for a super-cool stunt at 2:50. Also, note how they had trashed their bows by the time this was over. Dang. They just beat the crap out of those strings and the horsehair on their bows.

These Croatians have a mission from God. They want to prove that cello rocks, and will abuse their equipment in the process.

Anything is possible with the intertubes.

Thanks to ScottW for taking a break from stump-burning and stroking Laura’s hump in order to send this tip.

If you missed Smooth Criminal by these guys (posted by Retired Geezer), which started their online fame, it’s here.

1. Mitchell - June 10, 2011: Pretty cool. These guys are good too (stick with it, about halfway through they start letting their hair down (so to speak)):
2. d3ft punk - June 10, 2011: Ah, reminds me of my rough high school in Cincinnati, where the clashes of cultures with the white kids and their hard rock cellos and the blacks and their barbershop quartets. It was a dark, gritty, very musical version of 8 Mile.
3. Cathy - June 10, 2011: Wow. Guys are awesome.

I played viola. Not the same.
4. Retired Geezer - June 11, 2011: That was a rockin’ post
5. Michael - June 11, 2011: 8 Mile

You’re from Detroit?
6. kevl - June 11, 2011: Dude you went to high school in Cincinnati? So did I. Whereabouts?
That was a cool vid.
7. kevl - June 11, 2011: Cathy, have you checked your email lately?
8. xbradtc - June 11, 2011: I used to abuse my equipment fairly often too!
9. d3ft punk - June 11, 2011: Princeton class of ’89. My claim to fame: I once saw Carmen Electra. At a football game, I think. I was told this years later, so who knows.
10. scottw - June 11, 2011: Best post ever!

I have watched that video at least 10 times.
11. Cathy - June 11, 2011: Kevlarchick. Yes. Late last night. Sorry. I’ll be getting back to ya. Not been on the intertewbs much… Someone you and I know and LOVE is here for a meatup.

But when I read your email I did a “squeeeeee!!!!” in Michael’s BatCave.

Thrilled!

We’ll be in touch about the details.

Still tired from the stuff going on over the past couple of weeks.
12. kevl - June 11, 2011: No worries Cathy. You’ve been doing God’s work and deserve a rest. There are good things to come in life.
13. Dave in Texas - June 11, 2011: what? what??
14. Cathy - June 11, 2011: Hugs, Kevl.

Commented the other day saying normal is underrated. Just getting back into regular stuff, sleeping like a rock, and eating more regularly .

Dave-man, you are gonna love the news.
15. kevl - June 11, 2011: Wait, we have to tell Dave?
16. Retired Geezer - June 11, 2011: Tell me, it will piss Dave off.

I like Pie too.
17. Dave in Texas - June 11, 2011: TELL ME DAMMIT.

I mean, heya kev, what’s up and all?
18. Michael - June 11, 2011: No, don’t tell Dave nuthin’.

I don’t think he could stand it.
19. Michael - June 11, 2011: I think it’s OK to tell Geezer. Just not Dave.
20. kevl - June 11, 2011: Can we tell Lips too?

But not Dave.
21. Dave in Texas - June 11, 2011: oh I see how you are.

Fine.

FINE.
22. harrison - June 11, 2011: Tell me, I promise not to tell Dave.
23. kevl - June 11, 2011: *whispers the deal in harrison’s ear*
Isn’t it AWESOMES!!!!!
24. harrison - June 11, 2011: SQUEEELL!!!
25. kevl - June 11, 2011: *jumping up and down clapping*

26. Lipstick - June 11, 2011: yaaaaay!!!
27. Dave in Texas - June 11, 2011: WHAT? GODDAMMIT WHAT?

I NEEDS TO KNOOOOOOOW.
28. harrison - June 11, 2011: Ssshhhh…
There he is.
29. Dave in Texas - June 11, 2011: you motherfuckers are going to get your asses kicked.
30. Anonymous - June 11, 2011: Hey Mike, I’m surprised you can still comment after taking ace’s full girth in your mouth time after time on the thread like you were some amateur based out harpie suckig off John Holmes in the seventies. Oh that’s right, it’s typing my bad.

If it was talking you’d be whistling out of the sides of your cock-pocket from the new found gills ace’s cock had split into the sides of your cheeks you fucking ass kisser.
31. xbradtc - June 11, 2011: ^cathy, you forgot to log in to your wordpress account^
32. Dave in Texas - June 11, 2011: hahahaha.. Michael gets hate for not even spending anytime at ace

I approve.
33. geoff - June 11, 2011: Michael’s always offending the ghey community.
34. Anonymous - June 11, 2011: Fuck me, Dave finds it funny and I was trying to fucking troll and be all all parody/satire and ironic and shit and fuck with Mike and offend people and Dave sees right through it.

Fuck you Dave you will pay one day!

Coises !
35. Cyn - June 11, 2011: +1 Xbad
36. Anonymous - June 11, 2011: I’l admit, wasn’t expecting Dave to find my hijacking of this blog funny…..that totally caught me off guard. It was like waltzing into the bank in’ Dog Day Afternoon’ and having my pants fall down sporting a skid mark my Underoos.

Perhaps Davey Gravy won’t find it so funny when I demand the sum of one million dollars to relinquish the controls of this blog back to it’s respective owners when he is forced to witness the power of a fully operational Death Star?
37. Dave in Texas - June 11, 2011: go away you asshole.

You’ve been told once.
38. Anonymous - June 11, 2011: Not a problem, by the way, I love you too Dave.
39. Dave in Texas - June 11, 2011: Have a nice life.
40. Pupster - June 12, 2011: Is that the same guy apologizing profusely at the other blog for being a duplicitous dick?

I can’t check IP’s here at IB so I can’t tell for sure.

41. BrewFan - June 12, 2011: Pups, give me a link to the comments at the mothership and maybe I can figure it out.
42. BrewFan - June 12, 2011: I have to note, though, that as far as flames go #30 is well played. It made me laugh and laugh and laugh.
43. Michael - June 12, 2011: Yeah Pupster — looks like anonymous is Blazer.
44. harrison - June 12, 2011: Rats, I was going to take credit for it.
45. Lipstick - June 12, 2011: ^cathy, you forgot to log in to your wordpress account^

Now that right there is funny.
46. Dave in Texas - June 12, 2011: me likes
47. xbradtc - June 12, 2011: I say about 1 funny thing a month.

I can’t believe I wasted June’s on IB…

**facepalm**
48. Cathy - June 13, 2011: ^cathy, you forgot to log in to your wordpress account^

I say about 1 funny thing a month.

I can’t believe I wasted June’s on IB…

**facepalm**

Being in charge of the Xbrad Funneh-Meter™ it is determined to not be wasted. Hugs, XB. Fin.
