Month: November 2014

Between my birthday and work, I’ve been a bit busy to do much blogging, but I didn’t want you to miss this bit of weirdness that I’ve been enjoying for the past couple of days. It’s an 11-minute-long (!) title sequence for a fake show called Too Many Cooks that aired on Adult Swim during a 4:00 a.m. time infomercial time slot. If you watched TV from about 1985 through 1995, this stuff will be all too familiar, but turned on its head in disturbingly funny ways. Be sure to watch it all the way through — it gets weirder and weirder as it goes along. Sit back, and enjoy…if you can!

Just kidding. Really, it’s…

…which has all the mystery of The Phantom Menace, with hopefully none of the confused storytelling and Jar Jar.

In honor of my birthday and my favorite way of celebrating it, let me point you to Drunk Furniture, a blog of photos of discarded furniture with captions that imagine the furniture as people who’ve had waaaay too much to drink…

We’ve all seen (or been) Dave.

Ah, the “We have to be quiet, tee-hee!” stage of drunkenness.

Yay, indeed.

This being Florida, the politics can’t help being weird. Huffington Post has the details.

You’re looking at the next big Canadian supervillain, who’s been dubbed the “Burglar King”, and he’s on a terror campaign in Peterborough, Ontario.

Sporting a pink cape and a gold grown, he was caught on Chris Adlam’s security videocamera stealing a Muskoka chair (that’s an “Adirondack chair” to my American readers) from his porch.

Stealing chairs from someone’s porch in the dead of night is an operation that requires finesse…

…but finesse went out the window when the Burglar realized that a kid’s scooter got caught in the chair…

…and like the best supervillains, the Burglar King knows that discretion is the better part of valor and high-tails it out of there before the noise alerts the house:

The pictures are one thing, but to truly see the Burglar King in action, you should watch the video, which includes sound, so you can hear the clattering as the Burglar King realizes that the chair is tangled up in all sorts of bric-a-brac:
