Wait, hit #2 is "Electric Bugaloo"? What is going on here?
Fine. No one wants to talk about Electric Bugaloo, or why FL sucks. It's all torture, torture, torture.
Perhaps you'd find this story more to your liking? CNN seems to consider it a top story.
I for one had never seen the Calvin-peeing-on-Calvin-peeing thing before. I thought it was pretty good.
I think there is still a lot more that can be done with the whole Calvin-peeing-on-things gag. Other avenues/themes to explore . . .
Academia: Calvin peeing on Jacques Derrida (for instance)
Cartoon/kinky: Calvin peeing on Hobbes
Surrealist: Calvin peeing on a melting giraffe
Historical/ironic: John Calvin peeing on the Pope
Literal/ironic: Calvin peeing into a urinal
Where else can we take this?
I think that reading this post before the one under it kind of ruins the effect.
Well, there's the straightforward but delightful "calvin peeing on calvin peeing on dodge/ford". But perhaps that's not consciously ironic enough.
How about the standard "calvin peeing on ford/dodge/whatever", but on a prius or a VW bug?
There is an individual using the e-mail: flossiefloss@mac.com
that has sent a threatening letter to my wife at work. Please search your records for this individual immediately.
I am concerned that he/she may pose a threat.
Thanks
The main URL for "Electric Bugaloo" redirects to "hey freak dot com!" I guess I deserved that.
(Threatening letters: Very very bad. We disapprove.)
I think this is properly a design job for M.P. Escher.
That sucks about the threatening letter, Paul. No one with that email address has ever commented here.
Calvin peeing into a fountain that runs around until it drains onto Calvin.
How about Calvin peeing on a cross? Or the other way around, if you live in Redland and are concerned about your personal safety.
Ack, a threat? Certainly not good. (But if you have the threatening e-mail and the e-mail address, what would you need another blog's comments for?)
Escher Calvins pwn. That is my only opinion on it.
(Seems, at least if the anonymous commenter is being truthful, it wasn't so much 'threatening' as 'let his wife know he was making a fool of himself on the Internet.' My bet: "Oh, I meant 'threatening' just like Hettle meant 'threatening'. Mandelbrot set.")
Is this the open thread? kewl.
So I think it's funny that the German pron spammer is going around picking on threads that contain the relevant phrase. I like to think of its frustration when it goes for "apostropher nipple" spam and sees we're already giving it away free.
Also this was funny--LB had the spirit from the very beginning. And was it only March 30?
I've been hanging around a lot since early this year -- basically since I changed jobs in January. (Although I think I commented once or twice even before that.)
I can't remember exactly how long I've been hanging around--I remember that I was thinking of volunteering to head to Chicago for the original Unf/Ogged/w-lfs-n/Kotsko meetup, but didn't feel as though I were securely a member of the crew yet.
And some time back I was surprised to find that you'd popped up in my 100th blog post, from Feb. '04, because of some CT comments.
The text of the Deutschepornspamkomment,* which Babelfish renders as "that the French king is not to possess a personal domain", got me to wondering about the present king of France. He's bald, isn't he?
*dass der französische König keine persönliche Domäne besitzen soll. (Text apparently snatched from here.)
The present king isn't Santa Claus, like everywhere else?
Except in France, instead of "Ho, ho, ho!" he says "Pute, pute, pute!"
I indirectly referred to the baldness of the present King of France two days ago.
I directly referred to it--in fact I was going to tell SB, in response to 23, "That depends on what a cohina is," but that was the next entry.
(I get pretty much pwned in comments to the first one.)
