When we posted that Elmo video, I was reminded of a painful memory I had long repressed. No, this isn’t some sort of disturbing Sesame Street story. Instead, this is a story about how over the years, Scarface has scared the living shit out of me.

Let’s begin with the video from the aforementioned Elmo lip-syncing:

I know some of you are gonna feel old, but I was around 5 when this track came out. For some odd reason, my sister thought it was a good idea to play the song for me. Read the rest of this entry »
