Did you really think this was appropriate to make and bring to the domestic abuse shelter?

I love bouncy fun songs with disturbing lyrics.

Donovan
“Sunshine Superman”
Sunshine Superman (1966)

Sunshine came softly through my a-window today
Could’ve tripped out easy a-but I’ve a-changed my ways
It’ll take time, I know it but in a while
You’re gonna be mine, I know it, we’ll do it in style
‘Cause I made my mind up you’re going to be mine

I’ll tell you right now
Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find
Everybody’s hustlin’ just to have a little scene
When I say we’ll be cool I think that you know what I mean
We stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when?
I know a beach where, baby, a-it never ends
When you’ve made your mind up forever to be mine

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
I’ll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
‘Cause I made my mind up you’re going to be mine
I’ll tell you right now
Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find

Superman or Green Lantern ain’t got a-nothin’ on me
I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea, yeah
A you-you-you can just sit there a-thinking on your velvet throne
‘Bout all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own
When you’ve made your mind up forever to be mine
I’ll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
When you’ve made your mind up forever to be mine

I’ll pick up your hand
I’ll pick up your hand


 

The theme was done again in The Clique’s 1969 “Superman”

 

Which was covered by R.E.M. in 1986, on Life’s Rich Pageant


Sunshine Superman is also a multiverse variant of Superman.

    “The jokes just write themselves sometimes.”

    LOLOL

    Is that real?

    • SugarFree

      What is real?

      • Count Potato

        Wow.

      • Count Potato

        Although people do post shoops on IG. I doubt the actress or her people would do that.

      • Count Potato

        The picture.

      • Ted S.

        Baby don’t hurt me.

    • Warty

      It’s meta-real, which is the realest kind of real, so even if it isn’t real, it’s real.

      • Count Potato

        I knew quite a few guys who would smoke after they lift.

      • Warty

        Weed? The benefits of increased hunger outweigh the drawbacks of the phytoestrogens, and the schizophrenia probably helps by increasing bigorexia or some shit.

        Listen, I’m a scientist.

      • Count Potato

        Yeah, they said it made them feel more swole or whatever.

      • Tundra

        Speaking of estrogenic compounds, do you have any good sources of info on products to avoid?

      • Swiss Servator

        SEED OILS ARE POISON.

      • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

        We had to burn the village to save it…

    • B.P.

      Yes, a group of women really did dress as Ruth Bader Ginsberg, tied themselves together (or whatever the hell is going on there), and went on a run.

      • SugarFree

        Chained. Because their wombs have been enslaved.

      • SDF-7

        It looks more like half of them are holding the other half’s leashes.

        Which says more about what they thought RBG was into, I suppose….

      • Count Potato

        I knew that one. That pic is old.

      • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

        There is a small, kinda resort town on the coast here and while it is splite 50/50 red and blue, a bunch of women (I am guessing people who retired there, not grew up, which is the split) all started wearing RBG lace collars. It was kinda creepy, the idol worship.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        Could be worse. She could be looking down at you while smelling her fingers. https://youtu.be/4iCbaKtT18Y

      • juris imprudent

        Was that the alternate art for Spinal Tap’s cover?

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        Smell the Lace Collar just wasn’t catchy enough.

      • SDF-7

        They didn’t want to seem mean — using that picture would have been cruller than the one we got.

      • The Other Kevin

        I donut see the problem with it.

      • whiz

        It’s wholly uncalled for.

      • Shpip

        You can’t fool me. That was dissected from the body of a hiker who had an encounter with STEVE SMITH.

  2. Count Potato

    Is that from DC? Who knows what people were thinking in the 70’s?

    • SugarFree

      Animal Man Vol 1 #24, June, 1990
      (corrected)

      • SDF-7

        Ah… the end of the Morrison run. I really should pick that up at some point. Supposed to be quite good, if a bit meta.

      • SugarFree

        Very, very good. Doesn’t go meta until the end, but gloriously so.

    • SDF-7

      Considering you had stuff like Brother Power the Geek, yeah I’m pretty sure it was real. DC artists and most of the writers have always been a bit more out there than their core audience (until they started driving their core audience away, of course).

      • Nephilium

        No love for Prez?

  3. Rebel Scum

    FDA issued warning of TikTok challenge that encourages people to cook chicken in NyQuil

    I take it Dayquil is still ok.

    • Chafed

      Yes, if you are hungry and congested.

    • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

      No, you gotta use Robotusin.

    • Tonio

      Next they’re going to go after purple drank.

    • Rat on a train

      I cook in psuedofed.

      • Bobarian LMD

        Meth chicken just turns out scrawny…

    • Drake

      Another thing going around encouraging people to eat insects. I assume that’s fake too.

  4. The Late P Brooks

    I don’t get it. Needs more labels.

    • Mustang

      Now there’s an inside joke I’ve not heard in a long time. A long time.

      • UnCivilServant

        Indeed. You were a little horse in those days.

      • Mustang

        Two pun threads in one links? I say neigh.

      • UnCivilServant

        I just got back from dinner, I’ll try to Rein it in.

      • SDF-7

        Good to see you’re back in the saddle.

      • Mustang

        Best get it out of the system before Swiss comes galloping in to narrow the gaze.

      • juris imprudent

        It’ll take him a while to round up the herd.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        You guys are running roughshod over all norms and decorum!

      • Tundra

        We like to stirrup the newly promoted Swissman.

      • SDF-7

        He must be busy with his new duties — I would have expected the two threads to spur him into action by now.

      • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

        Careful, Swiss will ride to hunt you down!

      • mock-star

        Hunh, I had made a bet that Swiss woud have been champing at the bit to get in here to narrow his gaze at you lot.
        I guess I’ll have to pony up.

      • Swiss Servator

        *mass narrowed gaze*

  5. Shpip

    The jokes just write themselves sometimes.

    I’m wondering how this one is making the rounds again. The photoshopped pic is more than six years old.

  6. The Other Kevin

    REM used to refuse to play Superman live for some reason. When I saw them in 1989 in Chicago they had 4 encores, and as far as I can tell played every one of their songs. Except Superman.

    • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

      The Green tour? That went on too long when I saw them. People were sitting in their seats and checking watches.

      • The Other Kevin

        That’s the one. I had a blast. The friend I went with was only a casual fan, and was ready for the show to end after the first encore.

      • Tundra

        I saw REM in like 1983 when they first started touring in my part of the world. The opened for the Replacements and the Suburbs.

        Radio Free Europe had just started making the college radio rounds and I thought it was a terrific show. Never really got into them after Fables.

      • Shiny Nerfherder

        I saw REM in 91. It sucked.

      • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

        That might have been my problem.

      • rhywun

        I saw that tour as well. Though I already thought Green was a significant decline from their previous albums.

    • robc

      Maybe because you have to pay royalties if you play a cover in concert?

  7. Rebel Scum

    The jokes just write themselves sometimes.

    What an unfortunate picture.

    • Rebel Scum

      Mostly because I can’t stop giggling about it.

  8. Dr. Fronkensteen

    When did Shaggy become the Green Lantern? And I thought the Lantern was supposed to be without fear.

    • Chafed

      Why do you support the white patriarchy?

      • Dr. Fronkensteen

        Because I’m white and male.

    • SugarFree

      While it was a throwaway joke in Animal Man, the New 52 continuity introduced them as the Justice League analog for Universe 47, the reality of The Prez.

  9. DEG

    I love bouncy fun songs with disturbing lyrics.

    I like that song, but never paid that close attention to the lyrics. Huh. Interesting.

    I probably shouldn’t, but I’m going to dive into the HM video.

    • DEG

      The HM video… well… uhh…. OK…

      I guess there are worse kinks out there…

    • Tonio

      Thank you for that.

  10. The Late P Brooks

    That girl with Herself reminds me of Michelle Pfeiffer.

  11. R.J.

    Man! You post a video of clown kink and I have to work all day. Added to my watch list.

    Also, please Lord, let Sugarfree and CPRM do something with the new Space Force song.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHzd35ElwuU

    • SDF-7

      Oh God — please don’t dare him to do anything involving an abyss and a torch of light….

    • MikeS

      We fly upwards, blast through the void,
      And we rise into space, fighting for freedom.
      All of mankind looks to our people
      To safeguard the peace in the search for salvation.

      lol wut?

      • SDF-7

        I guess

        It’s been a long road,
        To get from there to here.
        It’s been a long time,
        But my time is finally here.
        And i can feel a change in the wind right now.
        Nothing’s in my way.
        And they’re not gonna hold me down no more.
        No they’re not gonna hold me down.

        would have been a little too on the nose with their emblem and all.

      • Tonio

        Gah!

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        I’d pay good money to have somebody replace the space force song with the enterprise theme song in one of those armed forces montages.

      • SDF-7

        I’d pay good money for someone to replace Hail to the Chief with The Imperial March.

      • R.J.

        I just want a montage of the hats, ending with Space Hat saying “….. In Space!”

      • rhywun

        Jesus… I wanted to throw something heavy at the television every time that fucking song came on.

      • Shiny Nerfherder

        JFC

        Now that’s some hubris.

        And the song suuuuuuuucks.

    • Tonio

      I had avoided listening to this until R.J. posted it. It’s worse than I imagined.

      • R.J.

        Truly awful! Not even a trash diving raccoon like myself can go back for a second helping.
        I can only imagine Trump’s thoughts on it. No wait, he will let everyone know what he thinks about it by tomorrow.

      • rhywun

        I’m speechless.

        I wonder if it went anywhere.

    I have had clussy and let me tell you, it’s no different than anything else. Only problem is clown are contagious. Touch one, become one.

    • waffles

      Just realized my pfp is perfect for this. So you know I’m no liar.

    • R.J.

      Is it so bad to put on a rainbow afro wig?
      To wear the red nose?

  13. The Late P Brooks

    Does nyquil chicken make you sleepy?

    • Mojeaux

      It potentiates the tryptophan.

    • SugarFree

      The cooking fumes do.

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      Is pollo borracho still ok?

  14. Mojeaux

    Did he say “4/3rds of the bottle”?

  16. Shpip

    Have some good news today. After seven decades’ extinction, cheetahs are back in India.

    Eight big cats from Namibia made the long trek Saturday in a chartered cargo flight to the northern Indian city of Gwalior, part of an ambitious and hotly contested plan to reintroduce cheetahs to the South Asian country.

    Then they were moved to their new home: a sprawling national park in the heart of India where scientists hope the world’s fastest land animal will roam again.

    I fear that the experiment will be short-lived, though. As we all know, cheetahs never prosper.

    • The Other Kevin

      You’re not lion.

      • SDF-7

        You’ve got a lot of pride in that response, hmm? Too bad Shpip will form a coalition against you. And Swiss will just pussyfoot around — after all, a leopard can’t change its spots and all.

        (Now I know I’ve got a catbutt incoming…)

      • Shpip

        Whatever you do in India, don’t make a joke about their three-legged tiger.

        Huge faux paw.

      • juris imprudent

        This is really stepping on the lynx.

      • Pope Jimbo

        Swiss doesn’t oscelot of us, but we still disappoint him with these bad puns.

      • Shiny Nerfherder

        What, are we supposed to panther to him?

      • Ted S.

        If called by a panther,
        Don’t anther.

    On the other hand I’m sure they are up to on Oppression Studies.

    • Mustang

      Meh. Not nearly as useful as it used to be.

      “In 2016, Louisiana’s state senators reminded their constituents that the Declaration of Independence had been written in cursive and cried out “America!” as they unanimously voted to restore handwriting instruction across the state.”

      This made me chuckle.

      • DrOtto

        My dad had commented to a co-worker that it was “quarter past 10.” The guy looked at my dad and queried “So, 10:25?”

      • UnCivilServant

        “What, don’t you know Sumerian Math? Minutes and hours are divided up by mesopotamian base 60, hours are Egyptian twelves, but Egyptian math was base 10.”

    • Rat on a train

      We can write messages they can’t decipher.

    • Mojeaux

      GEN Z NEVER LEARNED TO READ CURSIVE

      First response: “No shit, Sherlock.”

      Told my mom if she ever writes any letters to my kids to print because they can’t read cursive.

      • UnCivilServant

        It was always more work to write in cursive than printing. I never got the point of it.

      • Bobarian LMD

        One single pen stroke for a word.

        But my writing was so atrocious that I quit as soon as they allowed me to.

      • UnCivilServant

        Don’t forget to cross your Is and dot your Ts

    • grrizzly

      When I stayed in Israel I was mostly able to decipher their alphabet. But not their cursive. I never ordered anything for lunch from the places that had the menu written in cursive.

    • creech

      Can’t read cursive? So what; all they need to learn is to read a teleprompter. If it’s good enough for Dr. Jill’s husband, then it is good enough for them.

    • Ted S.

      Try reading old letters from relatives in the old country in Sütterlin.

      • rhywun

        I used to amuse a coworker who was interested in such things by writing in it. (Not very proficiently and I’m sure I’m out of practice.)

      • grrizzly

        I guess that’s why I have no problem reading English cursive even though I’ve never been taught to write it.

        The resulting cursive bears many similarities with the Latin cursive.[1] For example, the modern Russian cursive letters “АВДЕИКМНОРСУХ авдезиопрстухч” may coincide with Latin cursive “ABDEUKMHOPCYX abgezuonpcmyxr” (𝒜ℬ𝒟ℰ𝒰𝒦ℳℋ𝒪𝒫𝒞𝒴𝒳 𝒶𝒷ℊℯ𝓏𝓊ℴ𝓃𝓅𝒸𝓂𝓎𝓍𝓇), respectively (despite having completely different sound values in many cases); both upright and italic printed typefaces demonstrate less similarity.

      • rhywun

        Is it true that Russians always write in cursive? Read that in a textbook.

      • grrizzly

        Not really. My cursive was always horrible. As soon as we were told by our Russian teacher in high school that we didn’t have to write in cursive anymore I switched to mostly printing. Some people might stick to more cursive but certainly not to the rigorous form of it taught in the first grade with specific rules about connecting each two letters.

      • kinnath

        My Russian cursive was quite passable when I was in high school. My English cursive was unreadable even to me.

      • Sensei

        Both my English and Japanese are awful.

        At least I’m consistent.

    • SDF-7

      Well, NOW I’m hungry for some good bbq. Not driving halfway across the country anytime soon, though. ;P

      • Mojeaux

        How close are you to KC?

      • SDF-7

        I’m pretty much due south of Sacramento, so not very. 😉

      • juris imprudent

        Swing west to Harris Ranch and you’ll feel close.

      • SDF-7

        West? I think that is about an hour southeast…. I see the billboards on CA-152 when I’m down that way and consider making the trip sometime….

        Yeah, straight shot down I-5.

      • juris imprudent

        Ah, I was thinking you were down around Stockton to Modesto.

      • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

        Harris Ranch doesn’t do BBQ. They are a steak house.

      • juris imprudent

        It isn’t the cooking you smell on approach.

    • UnCivilServant

      I’m not seeing the problem. Perhaps the people taking offense need to reflect on themselves.

    • SDF-7

      Gilbert?

    • Dr. Fronkensteen

      The most offensive thing is the ESG. The powers that be don’t want the peasants to know how feudalism will be reinstated.

    • Urthona

      That seems like rather obvious satire, but nothing could be worse than Doonesbury.

    • Tundra

      Dilbert launched in 1989 in a handful of newspapers. Now Dilbert appears in over 2,000 newspapers, in 57 countries, and in 19 languages

      Yeah, I think he’ll be ok.

    • The Other Kevin

      Looks like we’re going to need another $1T stimulus package to help all those unemployed workers. /Kidding. Or am I?

    • Shiny Nerfherder

      Oh it’s worse than that.

      The COVID lockdowns caused supply constrictions which are driving price inflation ALONG WITH massive monetary creation. The Fed is trying to shore up the dollar as a reserve currency, but they cannot tame price inflation due to supply constrictions and in fact, the necessary recession/depression will probably drive down supply and demand.

      In other words, we’re going to get job losses and at best sticky prices that will not fall.

    OK, so NASA apparently pulled a win out of what appeared to be a failed cryo tanking leak test today and now says they achieved all their objectives for the tests.

    Now they need to make a decision whether or not to attempt a launch at the next opportunity, which should be next Tuesday, Sept. 27.

    “Trump attacks ‘racist’ New York AG Letitia James for her $250 million ‘witch hunt’ lawsuit, claims SHE is the fraud and wouldn’t have sued him if it wasn’t for her ‘really bad’ poll numbers in her reelection campaign”

    It must be great living in NY where there isn’t any crime.

    • SDF-7

      Oh, you didn’t know? According to Jennifer Rubin: “If they shut down the Trump family our surge in crime might be over”

      So the NY AG is fighting hard against crime — Trump is apparently behind it ALL! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

      • juris imprudent

        Why am I not surprised that dipshit can’t differentiate a civil suit from a criminal prosecution.

      • Pope Jimbo

        There aren’t two sets of laws for people in this nation: former presidents must be held to the same standards as everyday Americans.

        So she is arresting and deporting all those illegal aliens being sent to her state? Or are they above the law?

      • rhywun

        It would be nice if current presidents were held to the standards laid out in the constitution.

    • Rat on a train

      I’m confused. Property normally has either an actual price at sale or an appraised price. The people demanding an appraisal normally select or at least approve the appraisal. Is the accusation that Trump had a deal with appraisers to inflate values?

      • whiz

        You expect it to make sense?

        jk/ I’d like to know the actual rationale, too.

      • creech

        I would expect, at loans at those $$$ levels, the lender do really extensive due diligence. Maybe the real civil suit should be the lender’s stockholders suing because lender management failed to do its job?

      • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

        Yeah, but that doesn’t fire up the base, now does it?

    • Not an Economist

      Apparently having different numbers for tax purposes and for bank loans is fraud.

      2 years of investigation and this is all she could get? Pathetic.

        That’s highly dependent on specific tax laws.

        For example, I have a tax income statement that shows higher income than my financial income statement, primarily because of non-deductible expenses like entertainment meals (fuck you IRS).

    I think I’m in love.

    This might just be near the apex of executive highway cruiser, if you don’t care about things like infotainment, satnav, etc.

    • EvilSheldon

      You have excellent taste.

    • Shiny Nerfherder

      V-12?

      What’s that, about 3 gpm?

    • EvilSheldon

      Fifty grand is actually on the high side for a premeditated murder bond, these days.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Well he committed the right kind of offense

    • Pope Jimbo

      I told you guys that NoDaks are bad dudes, but did you listen? Nope, you don’t even cat butt Mike and his brother when they come around here.

      * Just kidding. Mike actually pinged me because he was worried about me when I was late to the Honey Harvest. It was pretty touching. Especially since I didn’t even know he was literate.

      • MikeS

        I knew I shoulda ran your ass over when I had the chance.

    • juris imprudent

      Didn’t I read he was also intoxicated?

      • MikeS

        He was drunk. It was after a street dance. Apparently they had gotten into it earlier.

      • juris imprudent

        I think that kinda knocks premeditation out doesn’t it?

      • MikeS

        I would agree. However, I’d think third or second degree murder. Vehicular manslaughter seems a bit light for someone who admits he purposely ran over someone.

    • SDF-7

      Oh God… the sheer smug wafting off of her.

    • Shiny Nerfherder

      Thank you Senator.

    • Rat on a train

      Thank you senator, I will keep to my narrative regardless of how much evidence you present.

    I’ve been seeing ads for the new Marylin Monroe movie. Shouldn’t people be upset that a Cuban is playing the lead character? It seems like appropriation.

    • UnCivilServant

      I would have thought they’d need to use CGI to have Marylin star in a new movie.

      • SDF-7

        I would have thought with the transgender crazy they’d just use Marilyn Manson.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        I’m surprised they didn’t choose Lena Dunham.

      • creech

        Oh God my eyes. I just visualized Lena in “Some Like it Hot.”

      • juris imprudent

        Hmm, I can read that you visualized it and apparently my brain has a protective filter that refuses to let that enter my imagery generation faculty.

      • Bobarian LMD

        Marilyn Star works in a completely different genre. Although you might believe it took CGI to make things disappear like that.

      • Pope Jimbo

        Nope, original Marylin. Of course it is a zombie movie so she doesn’t even need any makeup for the part.

    • Gender Traitor

      Don’t know who they cast, but Jaded Cynical Me® suspects it’s another instance of the “Hamilton”-ing of bio-dramatizations – all white historical figures are now to be portrayed by POCs because racism.

      • Count Potato

        That David Duke biopic is going to be fire.

      • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

        Wait until they get to Birth Of A Nation!

    • Count Potato

      I think she is half Spanish? Criollo regardless. Also, adorable.

      • Shiny Nerfherder

        I’m not going to complain about Ana de Armas being in anything.

        I’m surprised they didn’t get Leslie Jones to do it though.

  25. Pope Jimbo

    Minnesoda cathedral press is carrying more water than the Mississippi for King Walz.

    About half of Minnesotans say recent price increases have led to a minor financial stress on their households while a third felt major stress, a new Star Tribune/MPR News/KARE 11 Minnesota Poll shows.

    The vibe of the story is “inflation is a minor stress for most people, get over it”. Which is a much better spin than “80% of people are getting stressed from inflation”

    What a relief to know that the economy is better than my lyin’ eyes would have me believe.

    • Pope Jimbo

      Hey we also solved homelessness! Turns out the secret was using Ojibwe names.

      A nondescript warehouse in Minneapolis’ North Loop is home to Avivo Village, pop. 100, a shelter like no other. It’s thought to be the country’s first indoor, tiny-home community offering secure, private 70-square-foot bedrooms and on-site services to people who previously lived outdoors.

      The boxy homes, which look almost like ice fishing houses, are arranged in long rows with nature-themed “street” names marked in English and Ojibwe.

      Although government and nonprofit organizations have helped thousands of unhoused people find permanent shelter, they’re often quickly replaced by others with no place to call home. Since 2008, Hennepin County’s homeless population has remained stubbornly above 3,000.

      That changed last January, when the county’s annual survey tallied 2,678 individuals. The improvement is in part due to Avivo Village, which has served more than 300 people since it opened in December 2019, and placed nearly 100 into permanent supportive housing.

      I wonder if the proggies who put up the signs know that the Ojibwe are not native to the Twin Cities area? That the pushed the native Dakota tribes off their lands and to the West?

      Also, I have to get a job where I can help only 10% of the people and be lauded to the high heavens for it. Especially since my guess is that anyone checking back in a year will see a different village.

      • Rat on a train

        That can’t be true. They all lived in harmony until whitey ruined utopia.

      • Pope Jimbo

        To be fair, the Ojibwe got pushed out of their happy hunting grounds so they moved west and pushed the Dakota out.

        Everything was working just fine until Custer and Dakota met up and something happened.

        * The Ojibwe I grew up with called the Dakota “dog eaters” and hated them worse than any white eye.

      • Rat on a train

        It’s common for the names of tribes in English to be derogatory names provided by their neighbors.

    Looks like we’re going to need another $1T stimulus package to help all those unemployed workers. /Kidding. Or am I?

      That’s my personal favorite from Newt.

      Appropriate? That’s just a bunch of old men… Oh, right.

    • Tundra

      😳

      I had no idea that’s how you felt about us.

      • Tulip

        Oh c’mon. That’s funny!

      • Tulip

        I mean, “don’t talk to me, unless it’s an emergency”. That’s not Glibs?

      • Tundra

        See? I read that and I think “reliable and productive dudes who will always help in your times of need.”

        Geez, Tulip.

      • Tulip

        So what’s the problem?

      • Tundra

        Now that you mention it…

        OK, fine.

      • juris imprudent

        There was rap, that’s never funny.

      • MikeS

        Right?

      • Tulip

        One video. ONE. And you’re whining. Fuck off

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      What are you trying to say?

    • Semi-Spartan Dad

      Interesting video. The “Hang myself in the neighbor’s tree to give you a surprise” happened to a friend of mine in high school. She walked outside one early morning to find her older brother had hung himself from a tree in the backyard. The father told the police he found had the body so she wouldn’t have to talk with them. He was a good guy and well liked by everyone. There were hundreds of people at the funeral. His girlfriend dumped him, and he must have had some other things going on.

  27. The Late P Brooks

    All those embedded whatnots make it tough for us bandwidth-challenged glibules.

  28. Tundra

    For Warty and the other GlibFitters.

    I forgot that TDS used to be funny.

    • Count Potato

      TDS got TDS

    • Mustang

      Excellent. Where do I fit on the intersectionality matrix? That’s got to be worth some sort of reparations.

  29. MikeS

    Now the Suns owner is selling. Has anyone heard/read exactly what unforgivable sins he committed? All I’v read is he repeated racial slurs spoken by someone else, as well as allegations of sexual harassment.

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      The allegations are too horrible to let us know. You’ll just have to trust the inquisitors.

  30. Tonio

    Okay, I see you out there with your veins throbbing, walking through the angry streets of dusk looking for an angry fix..

    WebDom tells me that the GlibDay HumpZoom, or something like that will auto-start like now.

    Comment here if you can’t access it.

    I posted one video in which old men make fun of old men. And you’re whining.

    Fuck off.
