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?

Don’t forget this and this. You can also view it in action at the bottom of the post here.]

Babe Magnet: Yellow Fin vs. Yellow Slime

This exquisite piece of Babe Magnetizement was found at LoserCars. Can’t be sure of the make or model, but it appears to be a 1955 Chevy V-6 with the genitalia removed, and fiberglassage slathered all over it to make it appear to be a 1957 Chevy V-8 with the genitalia removed and a big ‘ol honkin’ Eyeball ‘O Death on the front of the dorsal fin. Pure efficient genius. Kinda suggests what kinda talent the Mendocino Volunteer Fire Department has.

“Dude! Like, the bell went off. There’s like a fire or sump’m.”
“Chill, dude, like, I spoke with the guy at the county, and he said like fires are like illegal here and stuff.”
“Okay, but if we gotta roll, can I like ride on top and work the EyeThing?”

But I’ll let YOU be the judge as to which BM is coolest. FinPeng emailed me the SlimeMobile:

All I can say about the SlimeMobile is that it doesn’t do speedbumps very well, and it has a lot of exposed pulsing varicose veins for your motoring and viewing pleasure. A Molten Honda Civic is one thing, but at 5mph in a parking lot, a true Babe Magnet should scream, “GET IN HERE NOW AND DON’T TELL YOUR MOTHER.”

Unfortunately, this one screams, “OHNOSPEEDBUMP!! QUICK! GIMME MY NITROGLYCERIN! THE HOSPITAL IS ONLY AUUGGGGGHHH.”

So which one is the true Babe Magnet? AND FOR GOD’S SAKE DO NOT POST ANY COMMENTS.

Saturday Matinee: NYC Air Vent Zoo

This is cool. So cool that I wish you’d thought of it, and I take back all the nasty things I thought about WordPress while they were revamping their vamps. Video embedding works again, and we’re back to almost normal.

Speaking of dogs, here’s one with a really happy face.

[First two found on RGF. Twice. Second found on the Utoobage by arbitrarily entering “Dog Face” in the search engine.]

Other news: The LA Times has a story on the guy that designed this sign:

Here’s a logical analysis of the design from a young George Lopez. (Caveat: the interview with the “CalTrans director” is staged.)

[Link to story found at GrowaBrain; Utoobage video was emailed to me long ago.]

And since the theme of this post seems to morphing again and that I usually post some vapid music video, here’s C&C with a sweet betime song. (Daughters Bunkessa and Bunkarina both know all the words to this. I dunno why and neither do you.)

[6PM UPDATE BONUS! Been busier than a dog with a bladder problem in a fire hydrant factory the past few weeks. As a result, I didn’t catch this video from Aussie Phil until yesterday. I’d axed him to gimme a taste of Aussie slang, and he posted THIS. It’s all “Crododile Dundid” to me, but there are alot of recobanizable puns in the video. Tip O’ the Tarboosh to Phil… he’s in Room 534.

Here’s the video, but for this yank it really needs captioning. No offense to the only supporters in the world of the Vegemite industry. [Y’all rock, mates.]

Dangerous Profession: Sticks on Stilts

One reason health insurance is so high is because the insurance companies also have to insure catwalk models. You couldn’t get me to do it… or maybe you could for the right price, but it wouldn’t be pretty.

Another 20 pounds and they wouldn’t have these problems.

[UPDATE 11 APR O8: This one outdoes the others. From Arbroath.]

[UPDATE 14 April 2008. The video from Arbroath was yanked from the Utoobage… some folks just have no sense of humor. Here’s the gist: Last model cuts across runway without knowing that the runway is “U” shaped with a plastic panel hiding the void between the legs of the “U”. She falls through, and a man trots down the runway to help her out. A second man, not to be outdone, follows the first, steps in the same void that claimed the model. Duelling ignoseconds caught on video. Anyone have a fresh link?]

German Cat Milk – (Me: “Eeeew”)

german-cat-milk_tuscanwm.jpg

Mit verbesserter Rezeptur. I’d buy the stuff just for the Rezeptur.

Is it just for German Cats? If it’s for cats, I assume it’s for Mr. Boots’ breakfast bowl of Chocolate Mousey Flaver-O’s.

But if it’s from German cats… well, some things I just don’t wanna know.

Global Warming Declared Racist: Rewards Only White Beachcombers with Doritos, Ignores Minorities’ Desire for Snack Food

doritos_spill_1.jpg

Seattle, WA (Strutts News Services) – Global Warming was blamed for the ocean currents that transported several thousand air-tight packages of Doritos to the coast of Washington, leaving thousands of minorities without the addictive snack food. A total of three white people recobanized the profits to be had after a cargo bin spilled off of a cargo bin carrier ship during a nasty storm during which the cargo ship dropped its cargo. The word spread up and down the coast:

“DORITOS! DON’T TELL THE BLACKS AND THE ASIANS!”

A cargo ship that finds itself in seas that causes it to drop its cargo is not funny at all. Ask someone who has been there and done that. But only white people comb the beaches for Doritos.

Finicky Penguins Rediscover Flight: Global Warming Blamed

[Sorry folks, this just isn’t taking. The penguin video featuring Michael Palin was great, but then the BBC continues with some disgusting stuff that doesn’t belong here unless Bunk thinks it belongs here.]

Here’s the link just in case you still wanna see it. It’s a good ‘un.

Just look at how much fun these little guys are having. Do we really want to take it away from them?[Tip o’ the Tarboosh to SH for this heads up.]

Still experimenting with the new WordPress. The video starts with an annoying commercial, then continues with the Penguins. But then it continues with other BBC stories.

Insert Capital F-word here.

Your Pal, Bunk

[UPDATE: Wait a minute. That’s not Michael Palin. That’s the dead guy, whatsisname, Mr. Creosote, right?]

[UPDATE 2 May 2008: Here’s a new link!]
