It’s a quiet day in the blogosphere when one of my favorite bloggers decides to call it quits. Steamboat McGoo has already poured acetone on Aardvarks & Asshats and melted all threads prior to January 2011. (A&A was always my first stop after Drudge. Go figger.)
Here’s to you, McGoo. May you continue to piss fire on whatever is in your way. –Bunk
[Update 4 March 2011: A big fat birdy just told me that the site may be changing hands. Film at 11.]
Here is an illustration of the inspiration for Chester Carlson’s world famous invention. Guess what it was before you Google him. Seriously.

There are some things even we can’t improve upon, and this is one of them. [Found here.]
“Flash Bazbo, Space Explorer, reporting for duty, SIR!”
With a space helmet like that, those would be the first words out of my mouth, right before I was sent to the Outer Realms on a mission to explore and conquer The Planet of the Mind Gobblers.

[For the sake of anonymity, we’ve blunked out the eyes in a very amateurish fashion so you don’t accuse us of photoshopoopage… and no, that’s not me.]
Let’s compare these two photos.
The guy on the left is despondent, bummed out about everything in his miserable little life. Stuck with a wardrobe full of green and gray, the person who took the photo had such little respect for him that she deliberately offset the negative karma with her thumb.
Contrast that with the photo on the right.
The guy on the right is obviously very successful and satisfied with his lot in life, and enjoys it immensely. And he has an adult beverage camouflaged as coffee when it’s intuitively obvious to the casual observer that it’s a cup full o’ jack.
Why are we posting such an incredible story of success here? Because you too can become successful, and it’s also the start of the holiday season.
Click on either of the images above and they’ll take you to a CafePress store where you can purchase lots of wonderful things. We don’t make any money on the sales, but a percentage of the sales price goes directly to charity.
When you place your orders, tell Christopher Y. that Bunk sent you, and I bet you’ll get a discount.
If you don’t see what you want, lemme know in the comments and we’ll respond. If you need a custom design, we can do it with short notice.
And there was something else I was gonna say about being an amateur blogwhore, but I lost my train of thought…
[Update– Czech out Amy’s Store, too.]
Remember the California kid who was suspended from school for having an AMERICAN FLAG on the back of his bike? The school was afraid that the kid’s display of OUR NATION’S FLAG might cause racial tensions. The story has an awesome outcome.

Meanwhile, something bad happened. A kid got slapped for getting out of line in Kansas City, MO. But that’s not the bad part. THIS IS. And it’s 40 page diatribe of serious insanity from the boy’s mother.
(Tip o’ the Tarboosh to Savage.)
This Dark Knot, aka “The Cat in the Bat,” aka “Catman Deux,” aka “Die Katezefledermaus,” would be a totally worthless superhero, spending most of his time licking and scratching himself, sleeping, taking short sleep breaks just to eat and occasionally chasing shadows.

Way beyond the Valley of Cool, and with all the necessary appurtenances in the background. The only real mystery is who they’re going Trick Or Treating as. I want to party with these guys.
