Molluscan Graffiti

At least it’s not public/private property. I mean, snails don’t have rights, at least not yet.

(But Wait! They Do!)

What Fairies REALLY Look Like

Joachim Knill uses the world’s largest portable polaroid camera for his amazing photos, including this one of a genuine live fairy.

And if you want to see a genuine dead fairy, click here, and be sure to check out the comments… over 1,400 of them, and counting. Join the Great Debate!

A Caveat is in order:  One Bunk Strutts and one Metro had a very heated discussion in the comments section beginning in November 2008.  We both walked away, bloody and sore, but survived the ordeal.  That’s worth the price of admission by itself.

Funky Bunky TTF

funky-bunky-font

Bunk is amazed at this freebee font creator.  The message above was typed into microsuck Word using “Funky Bunky” (Bold).

If anyone wants to add “Funky Bunky” to their TrueType font collection, leave a comment and I’ll forward the file; very easy to install.  (Note that unless “Funky Bunky” is installed on other folks’ computers, they won’t see it in the same amazing style;  it’ll show up as a default font, like <yawn> Arial, instead.)

Bonus Video: The Big Hole

Some time ago, Aussie Phil requested more funny videos.  I didn’t mean to ignore him, I just didn’t find much to laugh about after the U.S.S.A. U.S. Senate legalized Grand Theft approved taxpayer extortion the largest redistribution of wealth in the history of  this great country the “Stimulus Package.”  So here you go, bro.

Saturday Matinee: Rays

The Ray Beats had a great album, “Guitar Beat.”  Get it.

The Rays: Silhouettes, 1957.  Another great Chess Records group.

Ray Price. His Cherokee Cowboys included the likes of Willie Nelson, Roger Miller, and Johnny Paycheck, so quit snickerin’ y’all.

THE RAY.

Okay. This kinda stuff is obnoxious and completely unnecessary in Bunk’s opinion.  Sort of like taking your favorite beer, wine, champagne, brandy, whiskey, bourbon,  gin and tequila, dumping it all in a plastic trash can, and declaring the resulting cacaphony great.

But there ARE some greats on that stage, including  Ray Charles, James Brown, B.B. King, Little Richard (who tells everyone to go home), Bo Diddley, Fats Domino (?), and Jerry Lee Lewis (whose microphone should have been left turned off).

Who else did I miss in that awesome lineup?

This Can Happen to YOU.

this-can-happen-to-you_wellmedicated

You’re driving along a secluded roadway with your older brother’s girlfriend and you find yourself surrounded by magical red bricks, hovering around your vintage 1948 Eelmobile.

A plaid alligator materializes in the rear seat and a coon hound jumps out of your hat.  A phantom image of Franklin Delano Roosevelt swallowing a large jalapeno appears behind you, follows for a while, but vanishes before you have time to take notice. The speaker under the perforated dashboard blasts The Ramones to the rearview mirror above.

Meanwhile, the  lights at 53rd Street and Third Avenue have stuck on green, causing mass confusion to pedestrians and vehicles.

At 57.4 mph, you, your brother’s babe and your bitchin’ ride are transported over the intersection, ten stories up, easily clearing the parapet of the L. Foosers Paperclips Building while the magic bricks swarm like mad rectangular prism hornets.

That’s when I usually wake up.

“Set phasers on WTF.”

I altered the color a tad, but otherwise it’s genuine, not photoshopped.  Any guesses?

North Piddle (and elsewhere)

brittain-map_nyt-0901221

Interesting story from NYT about towns with unusual names in the UK.  (London? Who came up with that one?)  The US has it’s share of odd names, too, but we’ll reserve those for a future post.
