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.)

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.
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.
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?
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.
I altered the color a tad, but otherwise it’s genuine, not photoshopped. Any guesses?
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.
Q. “What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?”
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.
Q. “Where will the government get this money?”
A. From taxpayers.
Q. “So the government is giving me back my own money?”
A. Only a smidgen.
Q. “What is the purpose of this payment?”
A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.
Q. “But isn’t that stimulating the economy of China?”
A. Shut up.

Here’s Micky Hart’s Planet Drum from a few years back. (I have one of the Planet Drum CDs that I play at full blast from my porch on Halloween. I love the way it echoes around the neighborhood, even if Mrs. Strutts hates it. When she’d complain, I’d switch to Tom Wait’s “Bone Machine.” She doesn’t complain about Planet Drum anymore.)
The Sirens from “O Brother Where Art Thou” sang a song both pretty and dangerous. Great movie.
Spelling Bee pro. Great recovery.

Steven Wright… well, you know what they say. C’mon. You know.
