The Final Frontier

For some reason, the chief robot found this funny. I figured that I'd post it so he doesn't revoke my Linkey-Loo card.


Speaking of, where's Allen Funt when you most need him? (that's how I'd like MY cocktails shaken, I tell you what)

"It's hard to believe I've gone and done it again
Went to a place to see all of my friends
One little sip and now look at me
If this bar were school I'd have a degree."

Drink Like a Superhero

Longtime TNSC list member Heather Lake passes along this little gem sponsored by the government of the Northwest Territories of Canada. I give you Captain Al Cohol.

Some call it entertainment. I call it propaganda. At least he's never hurting for ice.

Here's a scan of the entire book here.




















"'Baby boom' or 'X',
I don't know what I am,
All I need to know is when it's time to slam.
Threw a little party cause it just felt right,
It lasted ten years and it's goin' on tonight!!"

Special K

As I was out-of-town this past weekend, I returned home to see that my DVR dutifully recorded FOX's "Sunday Night Line-up". Last night, as I continued my viewing, "The Simpsons" came on and my jaw dropped. The animator commissioned for the opening couch segment was none other than Ren & Stimpy creator (and good friend of Spaz), John Kricfalusi. AKA John K.

This made me think back to the time at Western Images circa 2000, when Spaz brought John K by the studio to meet all of us. I was unfortunately out of town for work (again) that day, so I handed over my precious Ren Hoek talking plush doll to Josh, and he took it, along with his Stimpy talking plush doll, to be signed by Mr. Kricfalusi himself.

Josh relayed to me how the signing played out:

John K took the Stimpy doll, turned it over so that it was ass up. Utilizing a thick black Sharpie™, he created an asterisk in the center of Stimpy's backside. He then placed a circle the asterisk, and proceeded to add a "J HN K" around it. Awesome.


Here is the final animation as seen on the Simpsons. (the hand-held camera, full voices & Warner Brothers sound effects complete the picture)



















"I lay around here
And just drink beer
I'm the baddest of the bad

"Rockabilly guys like hot rod cars
They like hot women and their neighborhood bar

Work real hard to have an evil stare
They're kind of medieval

Key to the Kingdom

Since I didn't have a chance to post this timely post-Easter find, I'll take the opportunity to do it now. TNSC list-member Heather Lake kindly submitted some great excerpts from the 1968 Playboy Club Bunny Manual. A guide to timeliness, conduct, upkeep, etc. As the title states, "Life Lessons", for sure.

To go hand-in-hand with that, a quick look back at the building of the Playboy™ brand, itself.

The clubs were all gone by the time I became an adult, but having been to "the mansion" (Zebrahead music video I edited), I can tell you that much of the class and sophistication of the earlier era is long gone.
