Homage Surreal

I just love stuff like this.  I like to ponder the meaning of the picture.  I can do it for days before coming to the final conclusion it just usually is what it is.  This creation by Coyote came to me via Storm.

Pollo Kai

My buddy Storm has sent me more food!  ( Digital that is, Mrs. Moon needs to make the assist and fix it for me! )  Check this out folks, it sounds GOOD! Pollo Kai (a/k/a Sweet & Sour Chicken) – serves 4 Ingredients for Fried Chicken 4 boneless chicken cutlets 1-2 eggs Progresso Italian seasoned bread crumbs Oil 1.    … (more…)

Exploding Toads update?

My buddy Charles gave me this "update" on the exploding toads: Phil Frog: "Ugh, that last fly left a bad taste in my mouth."Jill Frog: "How so?"Phil Frog: "Well, I’ve got a bad case of heartburn; I’ve got gas, and I feel so bloated I — "Jill Frog: "Phil? PHIL! What’s happening to you?!"(Phil Frog, unable to respond, gets really… (more…)

Ex-President Josiah Bartlett

Most of the time, Michael picks people that challenges me to figure out what his angle is.  This one is masterful.  Josiah Bartlett was one of the original signers of the Declaration of Independence.  The top official in New Hampshire leading up to their joining the fledgling United States was indeed called "president".  Therefore, ex-President Bartlett soon became Governor Bartlett. … (more…)

Your own personal time machine

I’m sure this reference won’t last for too long, so enjoy it will it lasts: From ebay: NAPOLEON DYNAMITE STYLE TIME MACHINE MODULUS UNCLE RICOONE OF A KIND! CRYSTAL INCLUDED! SWEET! It sold for $202.50.

Feste

Feste, also called FOOL, the clown employed by Olivia in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. He provides much clever wordplay and, like many such characters in Shakespeare, does not hesitate to use his talents to make others look the fool. Now, this one’s not as simple as it seems.  There are a lot of subtle references to one of my ‘net hangouts,… (more…)

Ray Kroc

Michael takes on Ray Kroc this time.  For what it’s worth, I’m a huge fan of Ray.  He took something everyone was selling, and sold it better.  He didn’t make it better, he didn’t revolutionize the product, he didn’t re-invent the wheel.  He took what he had  and he sold the heck out of it.  I appreciate people who do… (more…)

Milton Berle

I usually give a little bio about the subject, but this one I can’t do justice.  He is Uncle Miltie. MichaelR: “Where do we start…” Milton Berle: “…as the actress said to the Bishop.” MR: “Hokay, we’re going in that direction, huh? No bio, no reminisces, straight to the one liners. So, what do you do with an elephant with… (more…)

The Drunk Test

This is cute.  As my buddy Fordlove from The Motley Fool notes, everyone who’s ever done any of this stuff has a "you had to be there" tale to go with each situation.  I have several for each one except for "snoggin your same sex buddy for a laff".  I’ll post some over time.  A couple I guess I already… (more…)

The Death of Gus Wing III

A skydiving cinematographer was killed after his legs were severed in a midair collision with the airplane he had jumped from, authorities said. Albert "Gus" Wing III had already deployed his parachute Saturday when he struck the left wing of the DHC-6 Twin Otter propeller plane at about 600 feet, a witness on the ground told police. I am lost… (more…)
