Default What is your beef with the Mac?

Here's a clip that may perhaps amuse. It's from an episode of the British TV show "The Mighty Boosh," which kind of defies explanation if you've never seen it, but is a great show nonetheless.



"Oh, come off it! 'Tusk'! In its entirety, wiv' the pauses, as Lindsey Buckingham intended it to be 'eard!"

All the same, baby. All the same.

"You never know what I'll do. I've resequenced my show. I'm a master at sequencing. I'm the one who sequenced for Fleetwood Mac. I sequenced 'Rumours.' Everyone loves my sequences. They're fun.''

Had you not seen that before? It's great isn't it? I almost fell off my chair when Tony Harrison mentioned Tusk back when I first saw it last year. Fleetwood Mac are mentioned in the first series too (Dixon Bainbridge asks Naboo what he's listening to and he says Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, to which Dixon gives him a funny look) and I've heard the Boosh have used the song Tusk as a warm up before their live shows in the past.

Oh no, I'm a fan of the Boosh - I kept meaning to make a clip of just that part and didn't get around to it. Thankfully, I ran across that one during a YouTube search for rabbit games and thought I'd post it in case anyone else would enjoy...

("But...that's not a game, is it? That's just...a sequence of events. A sequence of horrific of events...")

I loved that the first time I heard it. It was great to see Tusk and Lindsey get some sort of credit even if it was as part of a surreal comedy show. I remember making sure all my friends saw that Fleetwood Mac reference.
