Cinderella Slipper Search Engine

The first thought that came to mind when I saw this was,
“Well, whip me, beat me, and call me Irma.”
————-
Deliberately changing the topic, this Bunk is fascinated by the words that some folks use to find Tacky Raccoons. Here’s a list of recent search engine terms:

ascii raccoon
woody pecker cat
alpaca snot
lunch lady
the chips rubber biscuit
mint hassenpfeffer
batmobile magnets
raccoons chewing sprinkler heads

I’d dodge feeding Mrs. Strutt’s cat for a day just to find out what those internet surfers were really looking for, especially “woody pecker cat” and “alpaca snot.” I hope they found what they were looking for here. If anyone has a better link for those two search terms, please post it in the comments. I’ll update this post and help hundreds, if not thousands of people searching for the same things.

P.S. I’ll accept hassenpfeffer recipes, too, mint or otherwise.

“I Only Have Eye, For You…”

The Flamingos had a hit with this one in 1959.

Danger, danger, danger

WEEKENDER is one of my favorite Sunday newspaper glossy parchment inserts, complete with advertisements for gaudy porcelain figurines of unicorns and mermaids with dolphins, Elvis commemorative plates, weight loss testimonials, uncirculated overpriced coins, specious gossip about famous people that I don’t know and don’t care about. It usually has articles on high blood pressure, prostate cancer, senility and mammograms to give you something to discuss with your family over breakfast.

I lost my original copy of this November 2006 issue, but itch one of the best, in this Bunk’s opinion.

China Denies Reverse Engineering Mice

呼和浩特 (從Strutts通訊社滑稽的荒唐) –

hu先生否認中國是違反版權法通過拆卸老鼠。
「沒有法律版權在老鼠設計! 我們的所有是拆卸我們捉住的那个，創造一個較不昂貴的方式做他們，放回他們一起，并且他們是，像新一樣。 然後我們賣他們到美國，美國人吃他們。「

UPDATE: Although the post preview displayed actual chinese characters, WordPress changed them to question marks in the final post. Here is the re-translation from Traditional Chinese to English:

Huhhot (from the Strutts news agency funny absurd) –

Mr. hu denies China is violates the copyright law through the disassemblage mouse.
“Does not have the legal copyright in the mouse design! We all are that which disassembles us to seize, creates a not expensive way to be them, returns them together, and they are, new is likely same. Then we sell them to arrive US, the American eat them.”

How can you argue with that?

Hot Wheels: Babe Maggot No.2

I meant “Babe Magnet.” Or maybe I didn’t. Note that the dead cat, Boone’s Farm bottle and the week-old wad of used Pampers all add nuance to artistic expression of the moment. Note also that the windows are rolled up.

But here’s the genius inherent in this work of Art: It compels the viewer to imagine what it smells like inside and to run away without ever knowing. A piece of artistic genius.

Is this a Great Country or What?

No other country in the world has Elvis impersonators on mini-bikes. (Take that, Ma’am Odd Imadinnerjacket.)
