Personally, I like looking up the bizarre pop culture stories of ages past. A joke about rattlesnakes in mailboxes really opened my eyes to a long saga of amazing "WTF" reading.

Who else grew up watching the Simpsons and wondering who the hell "Ray Jay Johnson" was? A couple of years ago, I finally looked it up on youtube. This guy was popular?

This is a relatively straightforward post of brit-toons, which means two out of five (Telegraph and Times) are somewhat comprehensible to an outsider, instead of the usual 1 (or 0) out of five.

I'm not sure if there was ever a detailed post on this topic, but I'm genuinely curious: WHY are Brit-toons in general so loving abstruse? As far as I can tell, it's a unique phenomenon, and it isn't limited to Rowson, although he is, as usual, the worst offender (I skimmed the accompanying article, and his cartoon is still impenetrable non-sequitur). There are plenty of cartoons posted from countries other than the U.S., sometimes not in English, yet the basic meaning (if not the nuance or context) is typically easy to grasp. Louije isn't like that. Clovis isn't like that. JJ McCullough isn't like that. Latuff, Van Dam, those portuguese cartoons that get posted sometimes, none of them are so incestuously self-referential that you need to have been reading them for years to divine the work's basic meaning. It's like if Marvel Comics did political cartoons.

Ice does melt. I'd imagine the sun is God's word (which, granted, does change, but at a much slower rate).

I think the message is that he's trying to act like William Wallace but he comes across like Wallace who looks like a styoopit muppet.

I don't know who Grommit represents but he has a recognizable haircut of some time and isn't happy to be saddled with Wallace.

Lois Lerner “lost” thousands of IRS emails when a server “crashed” and had to be put down. She seems to be weathering the storm so far.

EPA administrator Lisa Jackson kept a secret email account under the name Richard Windsor. Mr. Windsor won an award and now has a cushy job at Apple.

I'm relieved to hear that, but I'm a bit upset that you joined Jeb Bush's campaign staff.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/jeb-bushs-paleo-problem-eat-pizza-pizza-ranch/story?id=29455583

quote:

In Iowa this weekend, everyone will be listening closely to what comes out of Jeb Bush’s mouth, but they should also be paying attention to what he puts in it.

Last month, Bush revealed he follows the Paleo diet -- a strict regimen of eating only what our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate: vegetables, meats, seafood, fruits and nuts.

“Continue to pray that I stick on this Paleo diet where my pants fall down,” Bush told donors in Tallahassee in February. “Perpetually starving to death apparently is the source of losing weight.”

Mommie Dearest was a memoir written by the adopted daughter of Joan Crawford. It made lots of allegations of abuse and insanity. One of the more infamous scenes in the book involved Joan flipping her poo poo about wire clothes hangers. That's the entire joke.

Also that book was published in 1978, so it's pretty clear who his target audience is.

37 years seems like a long time until you've lived that long.

The more I know about generations that saw the Watergate, the Vietnam war or WWII, the humbler I become. One should respect one's elders as long as they're not doddering racist mummies.
