A Finnish extrovert looks at your shoes when he talks to you.

Psychobilly Freakout Shriner's Parade




Those fellows should really be wearing fezzes. The situation demands a fez. I demand fezzes next time. Hie thee to Fezzes R Us immediately, sirs. It's next to the liquor store, so it's not out of your way.

Amazing How Brave You Can Be On A Borrowed Motorcycle




You'd never ride your own motorcycle up there. Something bad could happen to it. Much safer to borrow one.

My Heart's Beeping. That's Good, Right?




A proper borderline sociopathic dad shows his kids all he knows. Generally doesn't take long.

I Wanted To Be A Waterskiier, But I Could Never Find A Lake On A Hill






The Ghost of Peachy Carnehan approves. Paddys in the paddies. It's a natural.

Hmm. "Irish bull surfers." Pshaw. I believe they call it "blarney" back in the auld sod.

Little Known Fact: I Made One Of These Once





Unfortunately, I was only trying to plumb a sink trap under a vanity, and it just turned out that way. It sounded great if you left the water running while you brushed your teeth, though.

Yo, Dawg, I Herd You Like Gunz So I Shot My Gun With A Gun So U Could Shoot While U Shoot




I don't often offer advice on the BSBFB, but we highly recommend that you don't put your Glock into your barrel stove if there's any rounds in the clip or the chamber. Just FYI. You know, a suggestion. Nothing hard and fast. Just seems safer.

Clyde Crashcup Turns The Page




Hipster? I watched Clyde Crashcup make Rube Goldberg machines before he went mainstream. I don't even have a TV anymore.

Your Mother Was A Hamster Submariner And Your Father Smelt Of Elderberries




In the cage where I was born
Lived a rat who went to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines

So we went out to the pool
Where we found a sea chlorine
And we lived beneath the waves
In our hamster submarine

We all live in a hamster submarine
Hamster submarine,hamster submarine
We all live in a hamster submarine
Hamster submarine,hamster submarine


In the interest of accuracy, that's not a submarine. It's a submersible, or perhaps a diving bell. A submarine is an autonomous vehicle, not tethered with an airline like this thing, and in the navy where the real subs are, they would never waste something as valuable as a hamster in one, preferring instead to fill them with sailors like my childhood friend Tom K. AKA "Fish."

This Goat Owner Bears Watching




Upon further reflection, the goat may very well own him.

Next Time, Try Holding The Grenade And Throwing The Pin. You Can't Do Much Worse




I suppose the drill instructor is not in the panic business, so maybe his lack of panic shouldn't seem so notable. But it does. To paraphrase Rudyard Kipling: If you can keep your head when all about you are trying to blow it off with a misthrown grenade, yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, and - which is more - you'll be a man, my son!
