Punday Night: Lost in the North
Dr. Jekyll’s more successful second formula turned him into a world-class sprinter rather than a violent psychopath, proving that you can run but you can’t always Hyde.
Pun of the Day: Killing thousands of brain cells, one pun at a time.
Since MrJames moved in, we’ve been watching a lot of Adult Swim. Just in case you’ve never seen it, Adult Swim is chock full of horrifyingly wrong shit — so wrong, in fact, that it will occasionally make you choke and die laughing. More often, it will just make you stare aghast at the screen, exclaiming, “Fuck! Did I just see that?!” Frequently, it will also make you shake your head and say, “Damn, that was fucking stupid.” 12oz Mouse and Tom Meets the Mayor come to mind for that one.
My two favorites on the show have to be Robot Chicken and Venture Brothers. Last night, I pulled a muscle laughing at Venture Brothers, as quintessential badass psycho bodyguard Brock killed two men with his ass. He invited one baddie to search for a key in his ass, and then, when the baddie’s arm was firmly ensconced in Brock’s ass, Brock clenched, crushing the hand, and swung baddie #1 into baddie #2, killing them both. I would assume they died of shame.
There was a lovely little scene where all you see it a flash of whirling butt cheeks in the bottom corner of the screen, at the bad guy it flung around at his cohort.
Seriously. Words cannot describe the hilarity. I nearly pissed myself, laughing. I love Brock.
The teacher asked if anyone could tell the class a story with a moral. Little Johnny volunteered the following:
“Out West, in the town of Diablo, there was a guy named Stanley, who was president of the Creative Credit Loan Company. He was proud of being able to arrange loans for almost anyone. One day as he was locking up to go home, some tough guys accosted him and started to push him around because he was small in stature and mild mannered. Stanley also held a Third Degree Black Belt in Karate. He counterattacked, and gave the tough guys a thrashing they wouldn’t forget.”
Said the teacher, “Good, Johnny, now tell us, what is the moral of your story?”
Johnny replied, “Well, the moral is, if you’re ever out in Diablo, don’t mess around with the loan arranger.”Did you see the movie about the cannibal that ate his mother-in-law? It was named Gladiator.
Ten thousand years ago the first humans came to North America by crossing over from Russia to Alaska. They hadn’t actually intended to do this. They got lost and couldn’t get their Berings Strait.
