3,000 COMMENTS! YAY!

Don’t know exactly who did it, but after careful consideration, we’re gonna award the most likely candidate: The lovely and talented Crystal!, known elsewhere as “Summergurly.”

Crystal nailed it with this great comment on this great post:

raccoon-babe-magnet_smoke-a-coke-091010“Ahhhhhh! RUN for your lives! The giant angry insanely freakish wooly bear caterpillars are coming! Head for the hills! Ahhhhh!!!”

Congrats,  Summergurly,  wherever your are. Your knack for commenting surpasses my knack for nought.  Feel free to roll around in your newfound glory, and be sure to brag about it to your peer group. You deserve it almost as much as we do.

Cordially,

Bunk

The Pub of Subsidence

Beer and ale to the left, white wine’s on your right.

The Glynne Arms in Staffordshire is better known by its nickname the Crooked House. Because of subsidence damage caused by mining, half of the pub leans heavily to one side. Apparently, it can be quite a challenge to rest a beer on the table without spilling it. According to the locals, if after leaving you turn and look at the pub and it appears perfectly normal, you can be sure you’ve overindulged at the bar.

Bunk’s Grumpkins 2009

Grumpkins (4)a

Dang. Lost my boning knife so I had to wing it with a serrated steak knife instead.  Grumpkin on the right lost an eye due to that unfortunate handicap, but Ms. Spaulding came out better than expected.

Two freestyle grumpkins in 75 minutes is a decent crank, though.

Eighteen years ago tonight was my scariest Halloween ever, handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, and timing contractions at the same time. Really.

Happy Birthday Bunkessa!

Love, Poppa, Momma and Bunkarina (who’s gonna pound your butt next time you get into her stuff again).

Saturday Matinee – Happy Halloween!

I thought this was clever.  [Found here.]

Can Head by the same guy who did the classic Potato Hunter.

Easy Dub Allstars’ reggae version of Pink Floyd’s “Us and Them.”  Nice riddim… [Tip ‘o the Tarboosh to “S&Dman” of Blogmocracy.]

And what is Halloween without Oingo Boingo? Danny Elfman’s band was tight and bizarre at the same time.  In 1980 or so, G-off and Bunk sat next to them at Madame Wong’s, buying them rounds and vice versa, without knowing who they were. Great show.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

If that’s not bad enough, you can listen to their “hit” here.  Just remember, there are some things you can’t unhear.

(Here’s our archive of Crappy Album Covers. Don’t miss Strider’s archive, either; he’ll be adding this one shortly.)

[Update 5 December 2009:  Good god. According to Strider, they had street cred in the UK. Lookee here.]

[Update:  Plane emailed me and said the title of the post should have read “So What Are You Gonna Be IN for Halloween.”

I responded with “The Little Halloweener.” Any other captions we missed?]
