Chariots of the Stooges?

The following fragment (from an apparent "comic tablet") was found in an ancient Egyptian tomb (believed to be from the 1st Shemp Dynasty), and is believed to be the earliest known appearance of "cartoon" humor

Rocking the Foundations

Little Known Historical Fact Dept.

Did you know that 60's rock band Klass Distinction was actually a team of communist operatives?

It's True!

In the mid-sixties, someone in the Kremlin got the idea that a popular rock group performing songs espousing views contrary to the "American Establishment" would be an excellent vehicle for subverting and/or demoralizing the youth of America.

After much effort and expense, the project was eventually abandoned when it was found that indigenous bands had already been doing a superb job of subverting the youth of America. Klass Distinction did release one album, We The People, which quickly found it's way to the cut-out bins. Shortly after the project was scuttled, two members of the band defected and joined the British psychedelic-pop group Plympton's Bumbershoot.

Doodle Guess

Hmmm -- now, what can this be?

I'm just guessing here, but I'd say that this is probably some kind of college professor. Name has to be Stanislav or Zbignew or something like that. He is riding a commuter train home. He has set his MP3 player to continuously play the Theme From Green Slime, over and over. While groovin' to these happenin' sounds, he has dozed off and missed his stop.

Flags.

A nice big plaque on the bridge at Adams

The first thing I thought when I saw the name was "...and you're not invited!"

Bowl of Awful

I'd noticed that my patio light cover needed some cleaning out, so on Monday I broke out the step stool and removed the cover, and found, much to my horror, a revolting pile of dead yellow jacket wasps --- about two scoops of 'em, one might say.

Not wanting this hideous bounty to go to waste...

Just add milk, and a bowl of yellowjackets are a tasty part of a nutritious breakfast.

Miserocracy

As victimhood becomes the chief road to success, people will be judged by their Misery Cred. Status, respect, and opportunity will be apportioned according to the perceived psychological burdens placed on one by the larger society, church, family, second-grade teacher, culture (as it relates to the "dominant" culture)... well basically anything you can blame somebody else for. Of course the more odious one's burdens, the greater one's Misery Cred and Moral Superiority Index, so people will not accentuate their successes (at least not the old definition of success) or superior abilities, but instead project a facade of helpless despair. Of course, some won't even be good at that... ****
