Today, While I Was Naturally Thinking About Super Mario Bros. 3...

New Huffington Post Blog Article About The RNC

Extended Huffington Post version of the graphic I made yesterday.  Getting pretty heated in the comment section already, so feel free to use your hotness to further increase the heat.  Sexy.

Something I Noticed About The Republican National Convention Tonight

Had A Good Laugh At This

This Is Officially An Artisan-Crafted Blog

If Panera and Subway and Chuck E. Cheese can claim their products are crafted by "artisans" (okay, Chuck E. Cheese has yet to release that commercial featuring artisans in mouse costumes drawing cardboard pizzas and slathering oil on top of them, but it'll come, you watch) then this blog can certainly be labeled as artisanal.

See, doesn't this read better already?  Mmmm...

These ingredients are so fresh, so natural, so organic.  Here at I am Andy McDonald, we only use the freshest, most natural ingredients available.

And then our artisan -- that's me -- uses tried and true, classic techniques to get the most out of every word.  You'll finish begging for more.

Mmmmmm, that's rich, succulent blog.

DJ T-REX

I submit to you two pictures.  The first, an amusing vanity license plate.  Sorry, photo is a little blurry -- it was taken with a potato. The second, the first mental image I had after reading said vanity license plate.   Now I'll say good day to you!

The Single Greatest Food Review Ever, Autotuned

Five Guys is a great burger place, but I could never deliver the message of its greatness the way this man can...

Photos Of The Week... Okay, Mostly Vanity Plates, But Also Neverending Story

Well, it's that time again.  Time when all my borderline creepy picture-taking pays off for you, the consumer of creepy pictures.  Yes, you really are disturbed.  And that's why we get along so well.

JEDI MO

Must resist... liking due to... Star Wars reference.  No, as a true Star Wars fan, I know the Force isn't something you show off on a vanity license plate.  It's something you bury deep down inside you, where girls you date will never find it, until it's too late for them.  Mwahaha.

SKIP 064

Skip?  You got it.  But why the 64?  Does he like low calorie Miller products, or average performing video game systems of the past.  My relationship with Skip is on a teeter-totter of possibility!

K9WED

The most puzzling.  Dogs getting married?  A dog minister who marries off human couples?  Like, this person was K9 wed?

Does the driver of this vehicle celebrate a weekly Dog Wednesday?  "It's Dog Wednesday, let's get crazy as shih tzu!"  Hahaha... heheh... heh... oh mercy... sigh...

Wait, where am I?

GMORK BEER

A friend of mine bought this beer and the picture on the can looks like Gmork from The Neverending Story.  Kind of freaky.

ACTUAL GMORK

Speaking of Neverending Story, remember those sphinx gates with the huge exposed racks?

"Um, Atreyu, I'm up here..."

What was that about?  I wasn't complaining, but seems weird that a kids movie would feature huge naked boobs so prevalently and no one would really ever talk about them.  Maybe a giggle or two here and there, but they weren't the conversation starters they are now.

Just a testament to how society's changed, I guess.  Can't even walk down the street as a massive stone sphinx with your huge boobs exposed anymore without somebody saying something.

It's a shame, really.

My Feelings On Paranoid Gun Owners In Meme Form

I'm not a fan of guns.  I'm fine with people having a small number of guns in their house for protection, hunting, and sport.  But Rambo style arsenals strike me as a manifested paranoia.  Some crazy fear that a government force is going to march down the street and, one house at a time, take over the country... they already run?


Price is Right Loser Horn.MP3
Is it ironic that the very act of building a massive military arsenal, in the hopes of defending your freedom from what you think is a freedom encroaching government, will in fact only draw government attention to you and may perhaps result in you being arrested, sent to jail, and losing the very freedom you hold dear?

I don't know, seems weird to me.  Anywho...

Hurting Your Back And Feeling Old

Nothing makes you feel quite as old as straining a muscle in your lower back.  Not only do you feel old as the IcyHot hand of Death massages your lumbar, whispering, "Soon... soon...," but you also can't do anything without looking old.

You walk around hunched because you can't stand up straight.  You can't reach out or down to pick something up without groaning.  Groans only interrupted by the metallic wheeze of your extendo grappling claw.  Sitting down?  Bah!  You'd be more comfortable on a seatless bicycle.  And by bicycle, I mean a Vlad the Impaler-era pike pointing straight into the sky that doesn't transport you anywhere except to Transylpainia.

Transylpainia??  My god, who am I??  See, this is what happens with old, curmudgeony back pain.  Old, curmudgeony back puns.

Okay, listen... let's just regroup here.  Maybe I need to lie down.

No task can be performed without feeling it in your lower back, except lying flat and relaxed.  Very similar to--gee I don't know, what is it like, what could that possibly relate to, maybe..... lying in a coffin!?

Old.

This Guy Just Choo-Chooed In His Caboose

Love the passion, but this guy's reaction to a train horn is uncomfortably hilarious.

Another Vanity Plate, And No End In Sight

Saw this Monday night...

ZOOF.  Well... obviously.

I promise you, I don't spend time looking around for terrible vanity plates and the terrible people who have them.  Terrible people who on the grand terrible scale fall somewhere better than Hitler, but perhaps worse than one of Hitler's many vanity plates.  No surprise to anyone, all douchey...
