Here on the Miracle Mile we have the world’s largest selection of
Large Portly Regular Thin and Long.
“…that’s right. ‘Retro’ is the new hot look this spring. This one is called ‘The Dhow’ for obvious reasons.”

Babe Magnet: We Gonna Rock the Pavement
Actually, he’s about to start popping pavers, and unless he puts chocks under all four wheels he’s gonna end up in the pool on the other side of the fence.
Still, I wanna hear what THIS sounds like on THAT system. When this guy parks, all conversation stops south of the Aural Assault Vehicle (AAV), unless one is well versed in ASL, or you happen to be a quarter mile away and approaching from the north.
Rain? No worries. Just power it up, hit PLAY INDIE/TECHNO MIX, and raindrops are vaporized into winter dogbreath within a nineteen-foot diameter hemisphere, as the AAV self-propels itself down Interstate 10 on sound waves alone. Pure efficient genius.
Does he have a chance with the babes? Certainly, but in order to score he’s gonna hafta take requests and blast chick music with the volume set at 11. That’s when he risks being pounded into red applesauce by a dozen bikers roaring in from the next county over who don’t have an affinity for Hannah Montana.
Better stick with Hendrix and Steppenwolf, bro.

How many wrong predictions about the future of the internest can you find in this Newsweek article from 1995? (Note that someone updated the post in 31 January 2008… what did it say before?)
Quick! Call 911!
Fail. You. Here.
Things that spill from trucks.
Dogs in cars. Nothing else.
Cats in cars. Just to be fair.
Lots of really RED things.
Urban mythbuster SNOPES deBunked.
The worst “50 Greatest Bands” compilation I’ve ever seen; all the wrong ones, and all out of order.
Aussies have always had my respect, but they’ve also puzzled me, until I read this. Now I’m just confused.
Someone else besides me knows who the Stoop Down man is. It’s Chick Willis. Here he is rockin’ out to the sitting dead.
When someone axes me what station I listen to online, I tell ’em either Jango or Seeqpod, depending on my mood. Both are cool. Seeqpod (beta) has a lot of mislabeled and dead links, but doesn’t pester you to sign up like Jango does. They both do the same thing, different ways.
Long tongues. Really.
Did we mention the Popularity Dialer? I thought it was clever, but the FCC shut it down while appeals are being filed.
Forget Waldo. Where’s LEON? He’s here.

Saturday Matinee: The Late Show
Gotta give credit to the late Chris Farley to make up for the .gif post yesterday.
Here’s the late Andy Kaufman on The Dating Game.
The late John Candy with the late Steve Martin from “Trains, Planes & Automobiles.”
Finally, to round off your late afternoon, here’s the late Martin Mull, the late Fred Willard, and the late Tom Waits from the late “Fernwood Tonight.”
The .Gif Friday Post No. 28 – Nine Farleys
“Off-screen, Farley was well-known for his pranks in the offices of Saturday Night Live. A March 13, 1995 New York Magazine article references Farley and Adam Sandler making late-night prank phone calls from the SNL offices in Rockefeller Center, with Sandler speaking in an old woman’s voice and Farley then farting into the phone, as well as Farley mooning cars from a limousine.”
Chris Farley (1964-1997) was a classic.
LIFE. GET ONE.
“But, Sire, my mount has to pee.”
If this group teamed up with these two they’d be Darwin Award statistics by now.

On the Wet Seat
Ah Pity the Milk dat gets mah Crispy Sweet Corn and Oats Cereal all Soggy n’ Stuff
You know exactly what this is. When you were a kid you were full of it. I pity you. I really do. While I was heavily invested in the Cap’n Crunch experience, I’d already graduated to Grape Nuts and beer by the time this wonderment came along. Here it is in all its glory:
The linked website doesn’t just have a picture of the stuff in the box and the box itself, but all the really cool stuff that came with it, including the “FREE ADVENTURE BOOK INSIDE.” We all have Quaker Oats to thank for Mr. T. Who’d have thought that a mere cereal could create an internet superstar like the Mohawk Man o’ Peace?
[Images source from here, an I be dare y’all to leave a commentabulation on that website, Foo.
Don’t forget this and this. You can also view it in action at the bottom of the post here.]
