This Can Happen to YOU.

this-can-happen-to-you_wellmedicated

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?

North Piddle (and elsewhere)

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.

And boy was Dawn efficient.  According to her husband, she was a regular filament-winding prodigy.

Poog?

Sometimes when we look for something new to post, we crank up the google mo-sheen and type in gibberish just to see what pops.  So we typed in “poog” because it sounds funny.  No explanation for it other than it appears on this mysterious site.

China Reverse-Engineers Chelsea Clinton

chinabot_tetherd-cow-ahead_090105

Beijing, China (Strutts New Services) – On Thursday, the People’s Republic of China revealed that they have perfected an audio-animatronic version of Ex-President Clinton’s daughter Chelsea.

On conditions of anonymity, Chelsea Clinton responded, “Eeew. That’s not me. That’s like my Mom, you dork. Like ‘DUH.'”

The robot giggles incoherently, serves tea, and pets the servants when directed, exactly like her mama does, but without the head butts.

The animatron correctly responds to up to ten questions with pre-programmed responses.  These responses include, “I don’t remember,” “I don’t recall,”  “Are you serious?” and “GTF out of this office.”

Specious country living at its best.  Surrounded by woodlands and meadows, this economical residence provides all the rustic utilities you look for in a pristine rural setting.  Campfires every night!  Far from the bustling city, the lot provides ample opportunities for pursuing both game and fish, and has sanitary facilities adjacent to the creek a mere 150 yards away.  You’ll never have to mow the grass again.
