I’m not really sure what to think about this one… Deep fried donuts filled with alcohol rather than jelly? Check it out here.

Finally: Pentagon Spends $1.5 Million on Beef Jerky Development

 

After all the money we’ve wasted the last few years on shrimp treadmills, turtle tunnels, cowboy poetry, and the like, we finally have a government program I can get excited about. We can all use a new  beef jerky that rolls up (well, maybe not the vegetarians, but they can enjoy the smell). You can read the article, which also delves into the government funded “Did Jesus die for Klingon’s too?” session. Enjoy it here.

The Mobile Home: Re-envisioned

Since everyone knows mobile homes are tornado magnets, I’ve always wondered why mobile homes aren’t, you know, mobile.  If we learned anything from that crappy movie Twister, it’s that tornado’s are malevolent, sentient monsters that yearn for maximum destruction. They also growl for some reason.

Because of nature’s primal hunger for mobile homes, I would think mobile home dwellers would want to have the ability to scatter like cockroaches when they turn on the lights. Let’s walk through what I think are the most important requirements for mobile home ownership:

  1. Blazingly, tornado dodgingly mobile
  2. Homey
  3. Since tornadoes are somewhat intelligent, a mobile home must not just be mobile, but also… deceptive.

Here’s a picture of a typical not-too mobile home:

 

Boringly stationary!!!

 

Here’s what changes I think should be made to improve your standard, old mobile home.

  1. Wheels, to ensure the desired mobility
  2. Flared fenders, ’cause they’re just rad
  3. Not just rims, but spinner rims. Why? Ultimate deception. The tornado sees your rims spinning and BAM, it throws off their approach vector.
  4. Chrome tipped dryer vents, ’cause they’re also rad

All of these changes will make these homes both more mobile and more homey. Don’t believe me? See for yourself and relish in its radness:

 

Much more mobile, homey

Forgotten Images Week Thankfully Comes to a Close

We take a break from the grape images today with an image I snapped surreptitiously in an unnamed retail location. First to the image:

 

 

I immediately envisioned the following conversation:

Associate #1: “I can’t tell… what color is this?”

Associate #2: “Umm, green?”

Associate #1: “Thanks!”
