Okay, Ashton Kutcher, you can come on out now. I get it. I’m being punk’d!”<br /><br /> After being assured that Kutcher was nowhere in the immediate vicinity and that MacAbre was most assuredly not being ‘punk’d,’ “Scotland’s Funniest Zombie Comedian” broke down into tears.<br /><br /> “I cannot believe this. The Academy is clearly prejudiced against zombies. We’re people too; at least, we used to be. Why the hell did they not double the nominees for this category like they did for ‘Best Picture’? Whose brain do you have to eat in this town to get the respect and the recognition that you deserve? Did they not see the Zombeatles shout-out in the Feb. 1st issue of ‘The New Yorker’?”<br /><br /> “What about my other documentary, ‘Would You Like Thighs With That?’ The one in which I spend an entire month eating nobody but McDonald’s customers and employees. Did that get nominated?...No?! Oh, fer cryin’ out loud!”<br /><br /> It’s been a difficult 2010 for MacAbre. He’s still reeling from the Zombie News Network’s decision to remove him as host of their flagship talk programme, “Journey to the End of the Night” and give it back to his arch-nemesis, Haggis Head, “Scotland’s Funniest Zombie Prop Comedian.”<br />-30-Vic Teakwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07232585646539489806noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2901035697270422046.post-70217355759747969782010-02-01T11:15:00.000-08:002010-02-01T11:17:22.394-08:00Jim DeRogatis Blurbs ZOMBIEPALOOZARock critic extraordinaire Jim DeRogatis Contracts Zombiepalooza Fever...<br /><br /><a href="http://blogs.suntimes.com/derogatis/2010/02/club-hopping_zombiepalooza_zac.html">http://blogs.suntimes.com/derogatis/2010/02/club-hopping_zombiepalooza_zac.html</a><br /><br />Thanks for the plug, Mr. DeRogatis!

The Fab Gore will perform live and undead and The Amazing, Bendable, Posable Dolls of Doom with Nuts ‘N Cherries Burlesque will haunt and hallucinate you with their undeath-defying feats of zombie burlesque. Angus MacAbre (“Scotland’s Funniest Zombie Comedian)” will be on hand to bring more disorder to the mirth and mayhem and to share some of his undeadpan comedy stylings. <br /><br /> Imagine Andy Warhol’s “Exploding Plastic Inevitable” multimedia events with zombies (but no annoying, overexposed Jane Austen zombies, thank God) and you’ll have a pretty good idea of what’s gonna go down. Oh, yeah, we’re also going to show “The Zombeatles: All You Need Is Brains.” This film chronicles the rise and fall of Jaw Nlennon, Pall IcKartney, Gorge Harryson and Dingo Scarr. It’s been described as “one of the most memorable mockumentaries of all time” and “a cross between ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ and ‘Night of the Living Dead.’"<br /><br /> The Amazing, Bendable, Posable Dolls of Dooms with Nuts ‘N Cherries Burlesque will feature the following performers: Lola Martinet, Tila von Twirl, Ray Gunn, Bazooka Joe, and Teddy Bare. <br /><br /> The evening kicks off with “Rock Star Gomeroke,” live band karaoke featuring your humble servants of rock, The Gomers. These guys know more than 3,000 songs and can play any style you can name. You wanted the best live karaoke band, you got the best! <br /><br /> They say vaudeville is dead but nobody told The Zombeatles and The Dolls of Doom. Who better to breathe new life into vaudeville? If you attend only one postmodern, post-apocalyptic vaudeville phantasmagoria this Valentine’s Day season, this is the one to attend. <br /><br /> Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. You can buy tickets through the Abbey Pub & Restaurant’s website, conveniently located at http://www.abbeypub.com/. The Abbey Pub & Restaurant is conveniently located at 3420 W. Grace in Chicago, Illinois 60618. Doors open at 9 PM and show starts at 9:30 PM.

"Why don't we combine the buxom sex appeal of <a href="http://www.hooters.com/">Hooters</a> with that Mel Gibson Scottish film from a few years ago, 'Braveheart'? We can sell overpriced pub fare and make a fortune!" And thus was born the <a href="http://www.tiltedkilt.com/index.html">Tilted Kilt Pub and Eatery</a>. <br />The Tilted Kilt Pub and Eatery recently opened a Madison location and I have to tell you I cannot be recommending it to you either as a Scotsman or a zombie. For one thing, the buxom lassies are not on the menu. And even if they were, they're so scrawny that ye would not be getting yer money's worth!<br /><br />I was all set to enjoy a nice meal of <a href="http://www.phish.com/">Phish</a> 'n' <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_%28anatomy%29">Hips</a> with an extra <br />helping of <a href="http://www.treyanastasio.com/">Trey Anastasio</a>, only to be told that they didn't serve humans. "Hey," I said, glancing around at my fellow<br />patrons, "that's no way to talk about your customers." (INSERT RIMSHOT HERE)<br /><br />So instead I had to settle for "Maggie Mae's Fish & Chips." What the hell's with<br />the <a href="http://www.rodstewart.com/">Rod Stewart</a> reference, anyway? I know<br />he's Scottish but c'mon! As far as I can remember, there's not a single reference<br />to fish and chips in that song.<br /><br />But I digress. The fish was not so great but the "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" creamy tartar sauce helped hide the blandness of the fish. I also didn't care for the<br />shoestringy nature of the French fries but I'll give the Tilted Kilt credit for<br />giving me a large quantity of the fries. <br /><br />This was in direct contrast to the miniscule portion of garlic fries I received<br />as my appetizer. C'mon Tilted Kilt, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_potato_famine">the Irish Potato Famine</a> was over 150 years ago! (INSERT HEAVY SIGH HERE) <br /><br />Turning to condiments...Props to the Kilt for having malt vinegar! <br /><br />My companion, <a href="http://www.donn-othedead.blogspot.com/">Donn O'The Dead, Ireland's Funniest Vampire Comedian,</a> had "Danny Boy's Shepherds Pie." I reckon it's named after <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Boy">the classic Irish folk ballad</a> because a steady diet of this will undoubtedly have you singing your death song. The Tilted Kilt menu describes it as "beef, carrots, peas and mushroom gravy topped with garlic mashed potatoes and parmesan cheese." But I think a more accurate description would be "a leftover can of Dinty Moore stew from the late '90s, topped with some mashed potatoes that the school cafeteria threw out." It was not good. You eat too much of this stuff and you'll probably have to give yourself a bagpipe enema if you know what I mean. And if you don't know what I mean, consider yerself lucky.<br /><br />Of course, Donn had to keep his distance from the garlic fries so ye'll not be gettin' a second opinion on them.<br /><br />As for decor -- not much to report there...very little Scottish paraphernalia...and they didn't even have the vision to put "Lads" and "Lassies" signs on the restroom doors.<br /><br />And as far as the phallic symbolism of the name, the Tilted Kilt, goes...well, make of that what you will. And, personally, I think the Kilted Tilt would be a better name. <br /><br />That's all for now. I'm toying with the idea of pulling a Dustin Hoffman/"Tootsie" <br />routine and going undercover to work there as a waitress and write a big investigative feature on what the poor young women have to endure from the clientele but that would probably mean I'd have to eat my meals there. And there's a limit as to how much I'll suffer for my art.<br /><br />Eat ya later!<br /><br />A.M.Vic Teakwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07232585646539489806noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2901035697270422046.post-65577260566228611782008-05-14T17:53:00.000-07:002008-05-14T17:53:17.761-07:00Angus MacAbre's Drive-Thru Commentaries<div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><A HREF='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkqL7XZV97nmHZYiWrEBVQGv9IaZS3XkCzcy8dKDLYm334G7ZbWN6Io61scL0nWRudcv-Jok-tJ18plFoAQ83j15wNasra_Uy2yngCW0C5yzZv1S9qj5dbelYzDWvLhoDckhUyEHDYgpqZ/s1600-h/AM+drive-thru+copy.jpg'><IMG SRC='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkqL7XZV97nmHZYiWrEBVQGv9IaZS3XkCzcy8dKDLYm334G7ZbWN6Io61scL0nWRudcv-Jok-tJ18plFoAQ83j15wNasra_Uy2yngCW0C5yzZv1S9qj5dbelYzDWvLhoDckhUyEHDYgpqZ/s400/AM+drive-thru+copy.jpg' border=0 alt='' id='BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_' ></A> </div><br /><br /><strong>"Fast food for thought...when you just don't have time for the muss and fuss of a traditional sit-down commentary!"</strong><div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Vic Teakwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07232585646539489806noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2901035697270422046.post-31748559530053805712008-05-08T14:28:00.000-07:002008-05-08T14:36:59.708-07:00No time like the present<span style="font-weight:bold;">"Right about now, the idea of a conceptual standup like the Doug Gordon-created Angus MacAbre, Scotland's funniest zombie comedian, purveyor of undeadpan humor, begins to sound pretty appealing"</span><br /> <br />-- <a href="http://www.johnmendelsohn.com/">John Mendels(s)ohn</a>,<br /><a href="http://www.dane101.com/arts/2008/04/28/comedy_night_at_the_klinic_goes_thud_thud_and_thud">"Comedy Night at the Klinic goes 'thud, thud, and thud.'"</a>, <a href="http://www.dane101.com/">Dane101.com</a>Vic Teakwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07232585646539489806noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2901035697270422046.post-88596604197665292202008-04-14T13:09:00.000-07:002008-05-17T20:50:25.314-07:00Never Mind Vampire Weekend, Here's Zombie Workweek<div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><A HREF='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5fItfWCQTpZzLImVGirIZOMSzzOcxbIltzfdf2BcKQiKIf-BSpyaTuKCwDCQ4GNmmMgJzUORRmRU2g2axQruidqLIaCb1J_naE8L8aQgaV0-jerLAzYu3Ukk2Ub-b3ppjyjV2I5_aH3_x/s1600-h/nash-knowlton-file1.jpg'><IMG SRC='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5fItfWCQTpZzLImVGirIZOMSzzOcxbIltzfdf2BcKQiKIf-BSpyaTuKCwDCQ4GNmmMgJzUORRmRU2g2axQruidqLIaCb1J_naE8L8aQgaV0-jerLAzYu3Ukk2Ub-b3ppjyjV2I5_aH3_x/s400/nash-knowlton-file1.jpg' border=0 alt='' id='BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_' ></A> </div><br /><br />Forget about <a href="http://www.vampireweekend.com">Vampire Weekend</a>.

"As the name be indicating, this water park will be based on the famous 'River Styx' of Greek mythology which forms the boundary between Earth and the Underworld, also known as Hades."<br />"It'll feature Animatronic-Audio figures based on the ferryman, Charon, and that darn hell-hound, Cerberus. I realize that this hellish theme might seem rather dark and disturbing but I think it's very appropriate for the post-apocalyptic times in which we live. Think of it as a new kind of water park, an extreme water park! Plus it'll be perfect for those long winter months. We can joke that hell has finally frozen over."<br /><br />"I don't have an artist's conception yet so you'll just have to settle for this famous Gustave Dore etching," MacAbre said, indicating the large canvas on an easel behind him. "I want to make it clear that although this water park will have a River Styx theme, we will not be playing any music by the American rock band of the '70s and '80s, Styx. That would be too scary. I cannot abide their pretentious brand of pomp rock."<br /><br />MacAbre plans to discuss his proposal with Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz. "Ideally, I'll have Mayor Katz for lunch," MacAbre quipped.<br /><br /> MacAbre refused to disclose details about where he was going to get the funding to build the water park. "I resent that question. Are you implying that I'm a cheapskate and am going to cut corners because I'm Scottish and a zombie? Well, you're dead wrong." MacAbre mentioned Leanne Friesen as a possible source of revenue. "I'm sure I can 'borrow' 40 dollars from the Scam Ma'am," MacAbre said with a devilish gleam in his eyes. <br /><br />MacAbre's water proposal proposal comes in the wake of the City of Winnipeg's Executive Policy Committee's approval of a plan to spend seven million dollars on a privately-run facility.<br /><br /><br />-30-Vic Teakwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07232585646539489806noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2901035697270422046.post-22349272843476536672007-11-06T11:01:00.000-08:002007-11-06T11:01:31.585-08:00Angus Live at Dane 101's Rockin' Halloween Extravaganza<div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><A HREF='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn5dCh4DXAHcekKhM7_l_MKLGsJxRuazohrbSD88rk_O-BGtU25Masxr9HxiK_YUsyFgw4b2HZdeU9UsHAUk2ziekF3pVjAe8WZjVPVEyqhG0vzjCSiWDnXwAPnAFs39MfgJljQEmk6a_V/s1600-h/AngusHALLOWEEN.jpg'><IMG SRC='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn5dCh4DXAHcekKhM7_l_MKLGsJxRuazohrbSD88rk_O-BGtU25Masxr9HxiK_YUsyFgw4b2HZdeU9UsHAUk2ziekF3pVjAe8WZjVPVEyqhG0vzjCSiWDnXwAPnAFs39MfgJljQEmk6a_V/s400/AngusHALLOWEEN.jpg' border=0 alt='' id='BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_' ></A> </div><br /><br />Photo credit: Emily Mills<br /><a href="http://thelostalbatross.blogspot.com/">http://thelostalbatross.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />More of Emily's Halloween photos available here...<br /><a href="http://dane101.com/adventure/2007/11/04/gallery_from_dane101s_hallow_rockin_ween_extravaganza_at_the_high_noon_saloon">http://dane101.com/adventure/2007/11/04/gallery_from_dane101s_hallow_rockin_ween_extravaganza_at_the_high_noon_saloon</a><div style='clear:both;
