All hail Ross Bagdasarian and his chipmunks (a friend used to have a book version of Alvin's Harmonica from before they designed the TV chipmunks -- very strange to look at), but my favorite version of "My Friend the Witch Doctor" has to be the cover by Manuel "Loco" Valdes, "Medico Brujo," found on the album Easy Melodias via mexicovers. The whole album is a sort of perfection we frail creatures can scarce dream upon, which is good because you'll have to take the whole thing to get Medico Brujo (and Yummy Yummy Yummy and Black is Black and... oooh, iDios mio!... Mueve el Dinero).

They think that that’s really what a flow chart looks like. I mean, it’s like one of those fancy ones because it’s not in an absolute straight line.

Elroy is gonna be so pissed about his secret code getting out there Elroy's gonna go Galt fer sher! I’m just a little curious how the “Let’s turn on all the lights in the house and crank the heat up to 85? crowd reconciles this with their “Go Galt” thing. Well, going Galt is predicated on magic unlimited energy, ergo... SHUT UP LIEBRULS!!!!! They have Bachmann, they have the Overdrive, but where’s Turner? Never fear, Turner’s here.

I just wanted to say that my only memory of the song referenced in the title of this post is when a local radio station back in Columbus did a parody using Opey (and all of Mayberry) instead. I used to have that and several other songs by the same station on a cassette tape but of course that is long gone. The station used to have downloadable mp3s but those disappeared too.

I listened to the WNCI Morning Zoo a lot in middle school. This is what passes for nostalgia for me, I guess…

I’m guessing the logic goes something like “because shut up, that’s why.”

Well, you see after blind irrational anger there’s not much room for reconciling or the like. You can’t shoot a reconcile so they don’t hold no truck with it.

Remember when Obama was telling us to inflate our tires to save money and cut back on fuel consumption? If only the folks at RedState had decided to stick it to us liberals by slashing their own tires and driving around on flats to get the worse milage possible and waste even more fuel. That would’ve shown us. I really regret actually going over and reading their “Hour of Power” thread. On the plus side, it’s nice to see that we’re in control since they seem to base all of their decisions on what they think will most piss us off. Given their third-grade mentality, I think that means they secretly have a crush on us.

Hey, M. Bouffant, glad to hear you’re now housed. Makes a big difference, don’t it?

And actor212, yes, Natty does have a fine pair of dimples. She was also, bless her little cotton socks, well-known for seizing on various insanitites of the Howard regime and making witty and cutting statements, as well as speaking out about a variety of issues that just never made it into the mainstream of staid political culture Down Under.

There’s nothing more heart-warming than seeing a young dimpled firebrand giving a metaphorical smack across the chops to an old establishment bloke. Gives one a warm feeling that lasts for ages. And she’s from my very own home state. Ten thousand pities that she gave it up to spawn – we miss her a lot.

Carl Sagan’s Stork Toast

Ingredients:
4 pints awe-inspiring stork
1 outdated almond milk, furrily chilled
1 tongue of dog
3 pinches pathological sea urchin whisker, involuntarily grated
1 stick soy sauce
1 bag garlic

Pre-heat your George Foreman grill to 551 Kelvin. Guiltily grease a cookie sheet. Separate stork nose from whisker. Inflate whisker. Stir the almond milk with the tongue of dog over high heat in a bag. Sprinkle resulting concoction over the stork. Ice – very indivisibly – the sea urchin whisker, soy sauce, and the garlic. Heap the latter combination on to the former. Bake for 16 hours. Serves 11 friends with lovely stomachs.

All we are saying … is give EEP a chance …

Asked about a possible IP infringement lawsuit, the Underpants Gnomes refused to comment.

Is this the birth of a new meme? Jesus, I sure hope so … & it’d be the one thing the GOP has done so far this century that actually does America some good.

Oh, Exploitable!
