The .GIF Friday Post 58 – Rover
This needs sound. Reminds me of “The Prisoner” series with Patrick McGoohan.
- “Where am I?”
- “In the Village.”
- “What do you want?”
- “Information.”
- “Whose side are you on?”
- “That would be telling…. We want information. Information! INFORMATION!”
- “You won’t get it.”
- “By hook or by crook, we will.”
- “Who are you?”
- “The new Number Two.”
- “Who is Number One?”
- “You are Number Six.”
- “I am not a number — I am a free man!”
- (Laughter from Number Two.)

Babe Magnet: “Dude, like it’s green and stuff.”
Been a while since we’ve posted a Genuine Babe Magnet. This isn’t one of them. Or maybe it is, despite being a non-driveable found POS with flat tires and a nitrogen/nematode power plant to propel it at a top speed of nothing with botanical detritus for the interior finish.
The exterior finish screams San Francisco, due to the 1960’s retro paint job. Naive college age girls with their effeminate art student boyfriends decorated this, and transformed a recyclable wreck into a recyclable wreck without salvageable parts. In other words, it’s an urban heap made worse.
This is NOT a babe magnet. It’s nothing more than an elevated canine/feline restroom with a groovy paint job, nominated to be protected as sacred street art by the SanFran Cilly Clowncil. Haul it away.

[Update 26 November 2008: According to loyal reader Julie, an expert on matters such as these, it’s a Toronto absurdity, not San Francisco as assumed reported. Read her comments in the section for comments section for her comments.]
Tarsier Skull Shop Drawings
I WANT THIS.
In daylight it just screams “Outta My Way, Butthead!”
But at night, it whispers, “Vaporizer Ignition Sequence Activated.
T minus ten and counting…”
“Check it out at night. This baby can be driven from a seated or standing position, fully envelops five in an interior that’s cozily lit and decoratively carpeted, has a premium sound system, and a centrifugal clutch. Then there’s the external rust patina—better call Maaco right now, because next year this color’s going to be impossible to obtain. Oh, right…not licensed for use on public roads, and the whopping price tag does not include shipping and handling. It’s going to take a lot of handling to get this to your place. On the other hand, it could become your place with just a few minor alterations.”
Before I order it, I need to verify if the water cannon is included or if it’s an after market add-on. I still want it for neighborhood protection. Couldn’t verify the size of the cooler either, but I understand that the hologram projector is a standard option.

Another Great Gift Idea: Etch-A-Line
Bryan, OH (Strutts News Services) – Etch-A-Line-X from Ohio Art promises to be a big seller this season, second only to Etch-A-Dot. This excellent version allows children with Y-Y comprehension problems to ignore the difficulties inherent in the original product. Etch-A-Line-Y, the companion toy, allows children to explore the Y-Y axis by scrolling the “etch” vertically on the screen, i.e., up and down.
For those children who might be uncomfortable with two dimensions, Ohio Art has the Etch-A-Dot, which cleverly replaces the non-user-friendly single rolling knob with a red “Press This Button” activation device. Press the Red Button, and you’ve got a dot. The “Dot” provides instant gratification, a minimalist work of art, and it’s clever as well, since the “dot” is ALWAYS at the precise center of the screen.
What the Future Holds: Production of the fourth companion product, (Etch-A-Line-Z) is on hold for now. Preliminary evaluations resulted in the temporary blindness of a substantial number of volunteers. Prototype Z is being re-evaluated for distribution in late August of the year after next before this one.

Some White People Are Just Embarassing
Something tells me that his chances of procreating are about nil (this Centaur is obviously a gelding). Anyone have a video of him “prancing?” Thanks to Mr. Horsey, we’ve added a new category for “Moronic White People.” He’s the first, and prolly not the last, entrant.
