These Guys Were Awesome.

[F-bombs & gratuitous violence warning. I love it.]

“Slap Shot”  was loosely based upon a true story about the sale of a losing hockey team.  The movie featured brothers Steve and Jeff Carlson with David Hanson;  all three were professional hockey players.

Hanson substituted for the third Carlson brother Jack, who had been drafted by the Edmonton Oilers and couldn’t make the filming. (Jack had a nice record on his own, piling up 1,111 penalty minutes in 508 professional games.)

Babe Magnet: The Batmoboil

batmobile_woosk-090324

Whoa.  Batman logo with tinyperkynipples, on a Chrysler Minivan no less.  Let’s all scream, “PARTYMOBILE!”  Bijonce and her sister Charlondra be gonna jump de bones of the driver of this dragon wagon, assuming they can see over the hood to appreciate the majesty of it all.

Of course the neighborhood girls are way underage, and the only way they’d see the attraction is if Bozoman personally lifted them higher than his blood alcohol level x the height of the hood ornament. Fortunately Bozoman can’t, and has to rely on subterfuge to get his prey into the Mommyvan.  Fortunately for Bijonce and her sister, they’re both armed with tasers and the bone-breaking physical paybacks of the self-defense kind.

This conundrum leaves Bozoman with nothing but his two Bozofriends and a couple of quarts of beer.  Since no significant otter, either outside or inside of Bozoman’s Mommyvan, can view the Batmoboil Logo, the only way the lame-o paintjob boosts this embarrassing piece of dorkness to the level of  Babe Magnet is in the mindvapors of Bozoman himself.

The Amazing WTF

myhero1

Recently I re-ran into Unfinished Rambler who linked to the Hero Factory and I just had to play:  went with my instincts, entered my super powers honestly and was rewarded with that lame-o title.  The Hero Factory is kinda like Wikipedia on steroids… 80% accurate, but 20% gets mixed in with the leftover chili.

I’ll accept my alter-ego orange afro image with a kickass flame thrower:  too hot to handle, and too cold to hold.  Execute Mode Enabled.

Mr. T vs. Chuck Norris vs. …FRANK?!

Sunday funnies extraordinaire.

Rarely do I laugh out loud at internest humor, but this absurd mashup is pure efficient genius.  Full story here, via here.

SuperUltraMan

super_ultra_man_pink-tentacle-0903091

Oh Yeah! Finally a realistic Super Hero!  Lookee here, he’s got all the important perks:

Red White and Blue symbolism, bulk, strength, the wind behind his back, and and an AJMEFH (Awesome Japanese Monster Eater Fish Helmet) complete with a nuclear navel. SuperUltraman makes the average ultraman cringe and cry by default.

BUT… could he beat these guys?

Babe Magnet: Batbug!

babe-magnet-bugbat

Some folks take Batman lore very seriously.  And why not?  There are no laws, at least in this country, that forbid rabid BatFannage.  This particular example is very deceiving in that it efficiently transforms the ubiquitous beetle into the ORIGINAL BATMOBILE with relatively little effort.  Yeah, mock it all you want, but then compare it with the genuine item that we’ve provided for your viewing pleasure below:

Okay, the bottom image is a model of the 1940’s version, but you can’t deny the awesome resemblance.  Therefore, the esteemed panel of judges at TR have voted unanimously to declare the VW Batmobile to be honored as a true and bonafide Babe Magnet.

On the other side of the coin is BatMockage, and here is a prime but innocent example. 7 out of 8 mocked him correctly.  The other one is destined to be an online furnace filter consultant.

Yeah! RIGHT IN HIS PANTS! EEEW!

I don’t understand it either, but it has something to do with Spiderman and the election results.
