Ever wonder why the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is in Cleveland? It’s all because of Mooncat Buckeye.

Michelle O. Action (Go) Figure
The latest gimmick to hit the market just in time for Halloween: The First Lady Action Figure. It is being heralded as the first toy in the likeness of Michelle Obama. WRONG.
I like to boil things down to their essence, and the toy on the right gets my vote for Toy of the Year, especially with the photoshopoopage of the photo on the left. Those proportions just aren’t right, even for Barbie.
In context, the toy on the right is immediately recobanizeable as The First Lady in all her glory, just as Aretha Franklin and Barbara and George Bush were similarly memoribalised below:
Here at TR, our crack team of webminers previously posted Lego’s Contribution for the adulation of the devout: a full landscape model of THE INAUGURATION. It’s awesome.
But Michelle’s action figure is still not as awesome as this one.
Happy Times – The Modern Woman
Depending on the task, the modern woman should change her frock between duties such as to keep herself presentable for when her husband returns home. The modern woman should also have a variety of aprons to wear to compliment her daily wardrobe in case the husband arrives home early.
The modern woman is also advised to wash her wardrobe and aprons by hand on a daily basis such that her husband don’t be comin’ home from the plant and be findin’ y’all stinky and stuff.

Great Educational Gift Idea: My Cleaning Trolley
Be a Night Janitor just like Mommy! (Note that it says, “Girls Only.”)
Not to worry, though, as there is a related educational toy just for the future Junior Maintenance Manager in your family, called “My Mop, My Bucket and My Squeegee.”

In His Own Words
Folks,
We don’t intend to turn this blog into a political forum, but occasionally we feel the need to speak up about government insanity.
Forget the inane Nobel Peace Prize business. That “prize” was reduced in value to the contents of a full spittoon when the creator of modern terrorism, Yassir Arafat, was awarded it in 1994.
Meanwhile, there is the invented crisis of global warming/climate change, and more recently the supposed crisis of health care reform.
The former has everything to do with confiscatory taxes based upon the absurd irrational premise that natural fluctuations in the average temperature of the earth are caused by humanity. We can discuss that hot/cold topic another time.
The latter has nothing to do with health care, and everything to do with government control of the health care insurance industry. Lookee here:
President Obama admits to the inefficiency of existing taxpayer-funded government-run healthcare programs: “Medicare and Medical are about to go into the red in a few years.”
Saturday Matinee – Buckeyes, Trombone Suicide, Stardust & Desiree Bassett
Got an eclectic mix as WorpDress went down for an oil change during my Friday evening Utoob trolling.
Bunk didn’t attend OSU, but both Papa and Mama Strutts did. The Best Damn Band in the Land is all chrome-plated brass, no weeny woodwinds there.
Bunk played trumpet in Hi-Skool, and marching band was fun…that’s where the foxy girls were. The clowns were in the trombone section.
“Stardust” is the most often recorded song of all time. Here’s Chet Atkins & Stanley Jordan’s version.
This is amazing. 15 year old Desiree Bassett effortlessly shreds LedZep’s “Rock & Roll” in front of an embarrassing Sammy Hagar.

Babe Magnet: Look Sharpie!
Earl Scheib‘s got nothing on this guy.
Mr. Redshoes, you need more homework assignments so you can graduate and get a decent job to pay Earl for a strip and paint special. Otherwise you’ll prolly have to pay someone to buy your four-wheeled artwork.
We also suggest you start saving for tatt removal laser work on that inkbooger you smeared on your forearm. Pure efficient genius.
