Employee of the Month

(Strutts News Services, Vancouver BC) – The management of Bieber Industries [manufacturer of the radial Simpson Clevis damper] awards accolades to one of their own every month, for going above and beyond his/her job description. The award for the month of May went to Paul Wallace Doodle (pronounced “du-Dell”) of the Human Resources Department.

“Wally (as he is known throughout the lower ranks of the organization) was awarded the “Lime Jello Mold of Excellence” for his outstanding contributions, cooly screening potential employees of Bieber Industries with the tact and efficiency of a ballpeen hammer.

Any job applicant who gets past the ol’ Wallymeister is a good ‘un! Thanks again, Wall-man, for a job well done!”

Mr. Doodle was not available for comment at the time of this post, as his next-of-kin have yet to be notified.

Saturday Matinee – TSAHB, Weezer, Hagan & Stuff


Vambo Rool, OKAY! The very underrated proto-punk Sensational Alex Harvey Band had very few early videos posted when we posted this link months ago, but they’ve been breeding ever since.


Bunky had the opportunity to see these babosos live in the ’70s, but couldn’t afford the tickets.

Yeah, I know. “This Little Piggy Went Viral.” I had Weezer in the queue since last year so I might as well post it anyway, just in case some of you hadn’t seen it. All it’s missing is the skateboarding dog.

Earle H. Hagen died this week. He was the composer (and the whistler) of the “Andy Griffith Show” theme song, among others. [Cool yet disrespectful cockatiel Utoobage linky here.]


How they make cartoons (1930).


Octopus Action video. Crabs don’t have a chance, even with a nice soundtrack.


Can’t have too many octopus videos in a single post, so here you go.

I Go Pogo!

Attention POGO fans! Click the image fo’ de tails!

One of the best comic strips ever. God bless Walt Kelly.

Happy Birthday to Karen!

Karen Less at SNTC just turned something, and we all wish her. Well?
(At least she got a bottle of Freixenet Brut.)

“Obamadoowop-Obamadoowop-Obamadoowop-DooWah”

“I’ve met Norman Fox & the Rob Roys, and I can tell you that Barrack Obama is no Norman Fox.”

Negotiation works for all circumstances. Right.

Man Hasn’t Washed Face In 43 Years

Seattle, WA (Strutts News Services) – Dennis Mitchell, born at the age of four in 1951, was immortalized by his cartoonist father Hank Ketcham in the now world famous comic strip, “Dennis the Menace.”

Over the decades Hank Ketcham left black and white emotional scars daily (and three-color ones Sundays) on his pen-and-ink son Dennis, who later became a wealthy recluse in his adult years.

Dennis, the ultimate rugrat, turned 18 in 1965, and has never washed his face since, although he admits to taking weekly baths in his natatorium that he refers to as “The Moat.”

When asked why he still refuses to wash his face, Dennis, now 61, responded without emotion, “Why not? You’re not my mother,” and promptly returned to a large leather-upholstered rocking chair facing the northeast corner of his crayon-enhanced living room in Belmont Shores, California.

Apologies to the late Hank Ketcham.]

Wally & June

There is something inherently wrong with this picture besides the pre-Herman Munster helmet hairdo. Jerry Mathers and Hugh Beaumont are both missing, for one.

For two, the age difference between Barbara Billingsley and Tony Dow can’t be ignored, even though Ms. B is/was a young middleaged earringed pearl-necklaced high-protruding-cheekboned lookin’ babe. Or not. But there is no question that she had at least ten years of vixen experience on Dow, and had the largest pair of cheekbones on the set.

The “eew” factor kicks in right about now. Okay, stop it. Sorry I brought it up. For you trivia hounds, her TV name was June Evelyn Bronson Cleaver. His name was Wallace.

TGIF: The .GIF Friday Post 29 – Future News

Beijing, China (Strutts News Services)

Olympic athelete Jorge “El Pedo Blanco” Perez was (posthumously) awarded the Gold Medal, finishing first in the 30 Meter Men’s Flatulence Competition on Thursday.

While hovering near an open flame just past the finish line, Mr. Perez ignited, and launched himself from the arena leaving a bright trail of orange and green sparks. Mr. Perez has not been seen or heard from since, but his memory lives on as an inspiration to all those who follow in his footsteps.

In English, “El Pedo” roughly translates as “Hoverman.” Congratulations, Jorge, wherever you are.
