You’re a Good Man, Chuck Brown

Rarely do pitchers wish for rain.  Chuck usually got rain, whether he wished for it or not,  but mostly the downpour came when his team was ahead.  As for Ms. Van Pelt, our crack team of webminers are working overtime,  scouring the depths of the Internestic Oceans, for a current photo of Lucy that doesn’t look like Amy Winehouse.

Another Great Gift Idea: TREPANATION!

Trepanation Game_Gimcrack Hospital 090707

Great educational game for the hole family. Release the evil spirits, insert the jello, and your Patient’s  nose lights up when his demeanor improves!

A traditional cure-all for conservatism, it has its dangers:  Be careful!  When the vote comes up and the Patient argues against frivolous spending and taxation, guess what?  HE’S NOT CURED!

trepanationThe game continues until each of the evil spirits have been vanquished and the Patient votes for nationalizing the banking industry, the automotive industry, the healthcare industry, runs for congress as a carpetbagger, opposes the NRA and Constitutional Amendments 1, 2 & 4, is coerced to vote CORRECTLY, or until he’s been otherwise  completely incapacitated and forced to become a ward of the State himself.

Bonus points are awarded if the Patient joins Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, any union, or supports AGW before becoming incapacitated.

Once the Patient signs on as a democrat the game is over, and it moves to the next level:  Change your Patient from a socialist to a marxist! (Requires upgrade to Trepanation 2.0.)

Un poco de esto, un poco de ése

Someone’s about to get pounded, and it’s not the poor soul on the right.  He’s got a pocket force field that rebounds with force x 10.

Meanwhile, on a brighter note, the esteemed GE Eagle Esq pointed us to a link on the Beeb:  Raccoons eating “ice lollies.” Can’t embed that one, but it’s cute.

Sea Lion Newport Beach_KTLA 010709

But the UK’s got nothing on US.  Here’s the story from yesterday.  A juvy sea lion with an attitude was captured in Newport Beach, California,  after attempting to pirate a boat, terrorizing children, and refusing to leave the dock.

The sea lion was captured by the Orange County Sheriff’s Harbor Patrol, maneuvered into the fireboat, but it apparently evaded the crew and took the emergency helm in a last ditch effort to humiliate his human captors.  Turned on the sirens, honked the horn, put the vessel in reverse and cranked the throttle to full speed. [Full story here.]

Finally, there’s this, crossposted at Amy Oops:

Lessee, they’ve now got it turned up to 62, 66 & 61 respectively. I had to look at it, so now its you’re turn. Note that the one on the right is also the 5th Baron Haden-Guest, and is still married to Jamie Lee Curtis.  [Spinal Tap ReOnion pic from here.]
