Vintage Apple Tee
vinatgeaplee.jpg

From time to time I come across something you just may want to have, or buy for someone you want to make fun of. The vintage Apple t-shirts in this photo still exist. Find one on ebay right here. (If the link is broken look for ebay item #260253476178 or try ebay item #220252556275) The seller has a few sizes still for sale.

There's also a totally different brown design over here. Happy hunting.

Bozo Is Dead
Bozo.png
Larry Harmon, the man who turned Bozo the Clown into a household name, passed away today at the age of 83.

Bozo had a cartoon show, inflatable punching bags with his face on it and was referenced on Seinfeld. Good luck finding that on someone else's resume.

I am not sure how those size 77 shoes are going to fit into a standard sized coffin. Could be trouble.

Have no fear, the spirit of Bozo will live on. Scaring children and freaking out adults who have read Stephen King's It.

Lunch for 3? That'll Be 1.3 Trillion Dollars Please
03cnd-mugabe.jpg

This article in the Times Online just blew my mind. Inflation in Zimbabwe is at 8.5 MILLION percent. It's such a high number it's meaningless.

"...a weekly shop costing $514billion, which she paid for by debit card. The shop till could only ring up $9 billion, so the card had to be swiped 57 times."

"...his $50 billion monthly salary will buy him just two bars of soap. In three days it will buy only one."

Couldn't get any worse, right? Wrong. The German company that supplies the paper for their currency just announced they are severing their business relationship. Oops!

Lastly here's President Robert Mugabe's re-election commercial from the recent 'elections.' Check out the billion dollar's worth of CGI

The Greatest Monkeys Of All-Bloody-Time
glasses.jpgOnce upon a time, the great Aesop wrote:

A MONKEY once danced in an assembly of the Beasts, and so pleased them all by his performance that they elected him their King. A Fox, envying him the honor, discovered a piece of meat lying in a trap, and leading the Monkey to the place where it was, said that she had found a store, but had not used it, she had kept it for him as treasure trove of his kingdom, and counseled him to lay hold of it. The Monkey approached carelessly and was caught in the trap; and on his accusing the Fox of purposely leading him into the snare, she replied, "O Monkey, are you, with such a mind as yours, going to be King over the Beasts?"

Lesson learned; monkeys are funny. And good dancers. I think. I think that's the lesson, I'm not really sure. But they are funny. That's an absolute.

With that in mind, we give you the Greatest Monkeys of All-Bloody-Time.

The Robot Barman
Picture-2.jpg

The robot barman, called Mr Asahi, debuted at Selfridges in London, serving up Asahi beer to the locals. I am totally serious.

Some background:

Eight engineers have taken 200 man-hours to assemble the quarter of a ton life-size robot. Made in Japan using a combination of robotics and animatronics, Mr Asahi can serve pints in less than two minutes, knocking off 13 minutes from the average 15 minute wait.

This is an outrage and must be stopped!

Polygamy en Vogue
polygcloe.jpg

Polygamist clothes are hot. 18th century Mormon hot. But the Texas sect under investigation, the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints, is hoping the runaway crowd catches on and so do you. They need the cash to pay for the legal defense and genetic counseling. Anyway, a visit to FLDSdress.com is worth it just to see the freak show on the main page. (Poor kids.) Browse through shirts, overalls, underwear (sexy baby), nightgowns, trousers but not pants, sleepers, dresses and the mysterious 'other' collection.

And parents, you have no worries about your kids dressing like sluts and freaks cause polygamist fashion is dedicated to providing "children with clothing that meets the FLDS standards for modesty and neatness."

Neatness, damn skippy!

Each morning this week we'll be running a YouTube clip from one of the bands playing at the festival, including Bob Dylan, The Raconteurs, Gnarls Barkley, The Roots, The Black Keys and many more. There's also a second stage where 19 of the country's top college bands duke it out for free recording time in LA.

Full details of the festival can be found on the NAMU site. Note, this competition is for TICKETS ONLY. You'll need to make your own travel arrangements, so it's going to be ideal for someone who lives in or near Pittsburgh. Oh, and everyone who goes to the concert also gets a free limited edition T Shirt, so that's a pretty good deal.

Golf Ball Schadenfreude
golf_ball_ybnby.jpg
If you're anything like my ex-girlfriend, then you love having balls hit your face. Most non-soul eating sluts who have black hearts and limited intelligence and like to fart in the middle of the night and once called your mom and told her about your drinking disorder and how you once pissed yourself after a night of drinking, don't like having this done to them, especially if the balls are of the small, hard, white variety.

And so, as a holiday treat to you, here is a collection of videos showing people (and animals) getting hit with golf balls.

Enema, the monument.
enemamon.jpg

The enema is a symbol of Russia, make that the southern Russian city of Zheleznovodsk. Here they love enema's so much they made this monument to colonics for all the world to ridicule. Okay a bit about this grand cleaner...

The bronze syringe bulb, which weighs 800 pounds and is held by three angels, was unveiled at the Mashuk-Akva Term spa.

The monument cost $42,000 and was installed in a square in front of the spa on June 19th, 2008. A banner declaring: "Let's beat constipation and sloppiness with enemas" -- an allusion to a line from "The Twelve Chairs," a famous Soviet film comedy.

And on that note, I've got to go.

404 Error

Whoops! We're not sure if it was your fault or ours (probably yours, we're good that way) but you've encountered a FATAL ERROR!!! Or at least, a pretty grumpy one.

Specifically the Latvians who run our server are telling us in a weird accent "Smarty error: [in evaluated template line 5]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'mtfeed' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580), Comrade!". Ain't life a bitch.

If you want to vent, email our slacker of a webmaster. Otherwise, we'd suggest going back, using search, or clicking around aimlessly on this page like a moron.

Have fun.
