Don’t forget that we are  bribi.. , uh,….I mean holding a contest to join our new Facebook page and  we’re giving away a copy of the new Robert Rodriguez flick PREDATORS.

We’ll even give you a choice of Blu-Ray or DVD. Whichever one you want because we’re just that nice.

Simply swing by the Dave and Thomas Facebook page, give it a “LIKE” (or whatever that shit is called this month) and on October 19th we’ll randomly pick one of you lucky bastards to get your copy.

Seriously, it doesn’t get any easier than that!

We started our Facebook profile way back before pages became all the rage. And let’s face it, who knew Facebook would explode like it did….

You can tell by the handful of posts on the D&T Facebook page that we never took it too serious. Seriously. We totally forgot we had it.

Well, things have changed and we’re driving things to da page now so that more people can join in the fun as we start to expand the D&T empire in the next few months.

We’ll also be doing some contests and giveaways there starting soon like “Win a handful of Taco Bell hot sauce packets” or “Hobo or Zombie.”

So our first bribe , uh,….I mean contest, is that we’re giving away a copy of the new Robert Rodriguez flick PREDATORS. We’ll even give you a choice of Blu-Ray or DVD. Whichever one you want because we’re just that nice.

Simply swing by the Dave and Thomas Facebook page, give it a “LIKE” (or whatever that shit is called this month) and on October 19th we’ll randomly pick one of you lucky bastards to get your copy.

Seriously, it doesn’t get any easier than that!

Fuzzy Horned Bikini

First of all, it was hot as Hell today at Bonnaroo.  A lot of people seemed to hang out in their tents during midday and the amount of freaky costumes and odd people out this afternoon was very low.  Thankfully, they started to come out once the sun went down.  The Fuzzy Horned bikini chick was an example of that.

The reality of the Roo is that if you really want to get close to a performance, you got to get there early and not mind being crammed into a hot, humid space with a bunch of people with questionable hygiene habits.

It was really, really hot here today and there was a lady who passed out in line at the Adult Swim T Shirts.  She was tended to and got up but refused to lose her place in line!  She’s a trooper.

And as expected, the music lineup was killer.  Lots of rock with the Kings of Leon, Tenacious D (doing their awesome thing), and the Flaming Lips teamed up with the Death Star and White Dwarfs to do a cover of Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon,” complete with the huge ‘Hamster Ball’ from the Lips’ 2007 performance.

The Carolina Chocolate Drops pulled out their fiddles and banjos and gave a great show that had the tent rocking.  We then wandered around before finding She & Him, the band of actress Zooey Deschanel.  Sorry, no pics of Zooey.  We were too far back.

Once the sun went down and the heat subsided, we were able to relax more and enjoy the shows.  Thankfully, there was plenty of water offered to chase down the beers.

Bearded Clam. Awesome!

The middle of June always marks the annual trip of music fans to Manchester, Tennessee, to join in the fun of the Bonnaroo Music Festival. Thomas volunteered to head down there this year (again) to cover the events for the site with our good pal Uncle Randy. Here’s his report:

The weather was expected to be nasty with thunderstorms in the area which didn’t quite pan out but the weather was very muggy. Most of the first day, once we got out of traffic which took hours to go the last few miles. On the way we saw the coolest thing as a dude was on the side of the road selling BBQ out of his smoker made from kegs. So cool.

We spent most of the afternoon settling in and getting the tent pitched up. The best part, however, is our VIP tickets got us free meals and free beer which we took full advantage of let me tell you.

After that we hit up the great guys from Adult Swim to play free carnival games, Adult Swim style, and a chance to win some swag.

As expected, lots of interesting personalities at Bonnaroo. And I’ve included a picture of what I like to call the hippie showers, or as they call it here the Bonnaroo fountain. It’s running clear water right now but will probably be a little foul after the weekend. Let’s just say there aren’t too many bars of soap here. Or deodorant sticks….

Gonna try to catch Margaret Cho in the comedy tent tonight if we get tickets, and plan on catching The xx perform. Our tent neighbors, or our Roo neighbors as we like to call them, are pretty cool.

You can follow the crazy adventures of Thomas and Uncle Randy on Twitter.

They’ve partnered with a national environmental organization to bring you this little gem on the virtues of compact florescent light-bulbs, but we think the organizations credentials may be a little…how should I put it?…suspect? We understand that they’re a rapidly expanding organization, but we still don’t know about them yet.

Check it out and let us know what you think.

Thomas loves his Old School rap and if you ever go on “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” and you get asked to name the original members of NWA than Thomas should be your lifeline.

You will not go home empty handed on that question.

This week, the Retro Video comes to us from the rump shakers of Wreckx-n-Effect, a New Jack Swing Hip-Hop group who had the multi-platinum hit “Rump Shaker” in 1992. The video is awesome. The song is awesome. And yes, there are a lot of ladies shaking their rump for you.

Monkeys, boobs, and sex.

Thomas’ type of video!

Will our economy bounce back? Will vampire movies still be run into the ground? Will Tiger Woods recover? These are just some of the things on our mind as we take a look back at some of the best and worst of 2009 and reflect.

Maybe it’s the moonshine, but we’re feeling a little nostalgic.

We’d like to point out that the movie 2010 with Roy Scheider was full of crap.  We are no where near the ability to cruise around the moons of Jupiter much less have crazy-ass computers going on killing sprees or have the technology to give John Lithgow a full head of hair.

It’s all a crock!

Since we can’t go into space or fly around the city in our hovercar or personal jet pack, we are forced to stay here on Earth and take the best that society has to offer.  And by society we mean the Internet.  Pop culture had a big year in 2009 and here’s some of the highlights over the last 12 months.

December 2009: Japanese Nurse Prank

November 2009: And the Tiger Woods Scandal Begins

October 2009: Five Reasons Chicago Was Rejected For 2016 Olympic Games

September 2009: Rejected Titles of Sarah Palins New Book

August 2009: From Hell: Christian-Newsom Murder Trial Begins In Knoxville

July 2009:  Why is Captain Kirk Climbing a Mountain?

June 2009: 5 Best Zach Galifianakis Moments

May 2009:  Ferris Bueller Fight Club Theory: You Sir Just Blew My Mind

April 2009: Great Japanese Fluorescent Light Fights

March 2009: Padma Lakshmi Sexy Hardee’s Burger Commercial

February 2009: Lily Allen Performing in Blue Lingerie

January 2009: Johnny Knoxville detained for inert grenade at airport

It’s a lot like leaving the price sticker on a gift.

The person knows how much you spent on them.  And then we always felt bad when giving a gift card to someone and then they give us a gift card in return but it’s for a much larger value.

The good news is that the Tennessee Vols men’s and women’s basketball team won Tuesday night as Bruce Pearl tries to get closer to 100 wins.

The bad news is that another Tennessee Vols football player got arrested. Tennessee freshman defensive back Nyshier Oliver was charged with shoplifting. Congratulations, idiot. You are going to lose a scholarship worth thousands for a shitty brown shirt worth $110.

Maybe they should teach some better math classes for these Freshmen so they can see how much $ they are pissing away. Maybe an ethics class at the least.

Anyway, enjoy the day off with Zach Galifianakis and his “Between Two Ferns.” This episode features Conan O’Brien and Andy Richter.

It’s almost that time in Oak Ridge, TN again. The Secret City Film Fest is set to start this weekend. Filmmakers will gather, movies will be shown, viewers will “ooh and ahhh” in the appropriate places (usually), and a layer of B.S. will cover the floors as filmmakers and film fans mingle and discuss their projects, both past and future. It’s one of the funnest events in all of East Tennessee, and you know Dave and Thomas are going to be there.

In fact, Dave and Thomas enjoy the festival so much, this year they are sponsoring a reception with their buddies, the Juvenile Minds. This quasi-prestigious event will follow a special screening of the award winning, East Tennessee produced film, That Evening Sun, on Friday the 9th. So feel free to join Dave and Thomas for barbecue and beer at the Secret City Film Fest and if you don’t care for D&T check out the other events at the festival. There are many films, panels, workshops and events at the festival that are worth checking out. For more information on the Secret City Film Festival check out their website.
