Saturday Matinee – Escalator, The Green Men & Louie Louie
The guy had never seen an escalator, didn’t trust it for good reason. [Found here.]
The Vancouver Canucks are like the Chicago Cubs of hockey. They always come close to winning the Cup, but never quite pull it off. To be honest, I don’t follow the NHA, let alone professional sports. But I saw these guys, and I had no idea that they had earned recobanition as a National Treasure of Canada. [via]
Toots & The Maytals play Richard Berry.
George Duke and Stanley Clarke play Richard Berry.
Others played Richard Berry here, here and here. Oh yeah, and this one’s good, too. But here is the original originator:
There you go – the originator of the classic fratparty song. Have a great weekend, folks. Be back here tomorrow for more fun stuff.
The Creature Unmasked
Captain Oblivious Rides Again
A high-speed drag race. A faulty hood latch. The driver’s view is blocked, and the gaping maw of certain death opens to quench its eternal hunger for blood and souls.
Hurtling through the space-time continuum, warping the laws of physics, a hero arrives in the nick of time.
In possession of unlimited mental powers yet untested, Captain Oblivious wrests the will of the power steering from the speeding vehicle. He laughs in the face of danger. “Ha, ha, ha,” muses Our Hero, as he maneuvers the machine away from peril and toward the relative safety of the raceway’s emergency sand trap.
Unbeknownst to Our Hero, the driver has already panicked. The driver screams as he jams on the brake pedal with both feet, and Captain Oblivious is thrown off at high velocity. Like a watermelon seed pinched between forefinger and thumb, Captain Oblivious is spit from the universe at the speed of whatever. The car slides to a safe stop in the sand.
With his mind swept clean of the memory of recent events, Captain Oblivious finds himself squatting naked in the vapor-ridden 10th dimension, fuzzily pondering his next assignment.
Steamboat McGoo says “Adios Amoebas.”
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

Here is an illustration of the inspiration for Chester Carlson’s world famous invention. Guess what it was before you Google him. Seriously.

Hey, Mr. Spaceman
“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.

Another Great Gift Idea: Pure Class
[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.]
