The Hat and The Hair Animated: Rerun ep 28

by | Aug 21, 2024 | Hat and Hair | 76 comments

20 something years ago I sent a pitch for Gravity Man to Cartoon Network and never heard back, they are forever my enemy now unless they want to pay me to make a show. So lets all inject ourselves with bleach and sit under UV lights to enjoy tonight’s cartoon.

    An oldie but always classy. The classiest.

    Hey with RFK possibly joining because the DNP screwed him over maybe Trump can land the biggest troll and scoop up Jill Stien

    • The Wrath of ZWAAAAAAKKKK!!!

      I think he would get Jill Biden first. Which, considering the last month, wouldn’t shock me at all.

      Oh, to be a fly on that face, er, wall.

      • Ownbestenemy

        If it could sink the Obamas…for sure.

    • Rebel Scum

      Make RFKjr head of the CIA.

  2. Brochettaward

    Get him Dad, he stole my room!

  3. DEG

    Dammit. That fly got me again. I thought a fly was on my computer screen.

    • Fourscore

      I did too, started to try to scratch it off.

      As usual, CPRM, on target. Thanks

    I don’t think I saw the OG — And yep, the fly is a particularly nice touch. Damn well-done.

      • Evan from Evansville

        (Predictably-but-not?) astoundingly well! To be fair, today was Part I of going through a shitload of medi-legalese shit, pretty much advising me to acknowledge the SOPs and..other shit. I get it, it’s easy, but I’m taking a lot of notes… which I don’t really think I need to be taking. The machines are quite clear and direct. Trouble is, I won’t understand ’em until I actually get to see ‘n play with ’em. (Yuh-huh.)

        I’ve got ~75 more of their there “modules” to go through online, after doing ~40 today. They had me do a scavenger hunt to find out where certain shit is. Only help was to ask around while walking through the lobby, donor room and through the freezers and ’round the building. Colleagues were cool and happy to help out, though not interrupting their day.

        I may finish that shit tomorrow, or certainly early on Friday. Then I shadow ’round until I’m being watched do it myself. This job is going to be a fairly great transition. And my plan seems to be perfect! I am going onto medical factory work, having left educational factory work! (Remote testing 4th grade essays for MO? Huh. I enjoyed most of that.) There are going to be so many stories coming in and out each day. It’s going to be just like working at the Tribune, but a scheduled affair and I don’t have to take any work home with me… (Well. I’ll take all the observations and ideas I shall, mmhmm.)

        Other weird thing…FUCK. I am not used to making money. $170 for a day feels pretty sweet. The most unexpected? DAMN. The time disappeared. Very unusual, and methinky in all the right ways.

      • UnCivilServant

        I told you you’ve got this.

      • Evan from Evansville

        Correct, and I do. It still astounds me that my Red and White Angels, both fundamental to my character, somehow agreed upon this idea. It fits everything so many things that I need and want. With pretty much infinite opportunities beyond.

        I’ve learned the tricky bits already, that being stabbin’ folk. I just need to play with these new machines and learn how they bleep and bloop. The People Part is going to be again quirky. I’m an obvious outsider in this neighborhood, though as always I kinda snake myself in. It’s a rather odd talent of mine. It’s the reason I fantasize/imagine I’d be a behind enemy lines soldier, but not for combat. I’m the recon guy. Better yet, the pre-recon guy. I find it a delightfully odd trait I manage to fit in so well despite being a deeeeeply introverted person.

        I’m remarkably satisfied so far, and tomorrow will be far, far easier. As (pretty much) always.

      Mmmmm, pistol whip.

    I just explained to my girlfriend what a “Cleveland Steamer” was.

    “How do you know this?”

    “I’m a Glib.”

    • Tundra

      Sorry.

    • DrOtto

      “I learned it from SugarFree”

    • MikeS

      Next up is “Dirty Sanchez”.

    • Aloysious

      Do not bring up ‘donkey punch’ or ‘hot carl’.

      Do.

      Not.

      • MikeS

        Donkey Punch is not a favorite with the ladies.

      • The Wrath of ZWAAAAAAKKKK!!!

        But you really need to educate her on the Blumpkin, post haste.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Rusty trombone would work given SF’s bronze medal reference.

    • AlexinCT

      Tell her about the Houdini…

      When you tag in your buddy while doggying her and she is facing a window, and your run outside to wave.

    I have been on a huge LA punk… I don’t want to say Deep Dive, but just going back and listening to all the bands I remember from growing up in the early eighties, and checking out bands I only hear of. Found cool documentary series about a few of the barely remembered ones here: Eastside Punks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWxEvCpbRok

    Tons of good footage from back in the day, concert posters, all that. Check it out!

    (I am not from LA, but halfway between there and SF, so I got a good dose of both scenes as they came to the college. We would hang out side of bars and clubs, sometimes sneaking in by carrying stuff for the band, sometimes just waiting around and not getting noticed.)

      I have been on a huge LA punk… I don’t want to say Deep Dive, but just going back and listening to all the bands I remember

      Sounds like a binge.

    • Ownbestenemy

      My arrival to the LA punk scene was 89-90 but I was only 10m. Now 94-98 I was sneaking into places or seeing bands play at local parks

  7. UnCivilServant

    It’s odd. The lavender had only been on my table for a few months all this year, but after moving it to the office today, I looked at the empty spot it had occupied and just got sad.

    I already miss my houseplant.

    • MikeS

      I’ll bring you one at HH.

      • MikeS

        For real. Wife has a bunch of starter house plants she potted up for a rummage sale and hardly anyone showed up.

      • UnCivilServant

        I’ll have to figure out logistics for moving it, but I could find a spot for one – depending on what the plant is.

      • MikeS

        They’re all pretty small. The wife is asleep, so tomorrow I’ll get details on specie. There’s a few different ones. Jade and philodendron, I think…a couple others maybe.

  8. MikeS

    He is the teat of our people!

    lol

      • MikeS

        Is that from that Firefly show I’ve never seen but nerds think is so awesome?

      • CPRM

        yes

  9. Rebel Scum

    I wish I loved anything as much as Democrats/leftists love killing babies, transing children, disarming citizens, censoring people and taxing them into poverty.

    • creech

      Half of Americans think that’s fine compared to nasty nicknames, stupid insults and exaggeration.

      • MikeS

        Hyperbole is literally fascism.

      • Rebel Scum

        Likewise for general peace, prosperity and real, non-commie neighborliness.

      • The Wrath of ZWAAAAAAKKKK!!!

        I thought Hyperbole was a contractor, but what do I know.

    • The Artist Formerly Known as Lackadaisical

      Yeah, it’s pretty wild out there.

      Just had a ‘this is an NPC or hopefully an AI’ conversation. Literally everything they posted was self contradictory. Really amazing. Glad to mostly hang at glibs where people are at least sentient.

  10. Rebel Scum

    I’m surprised that Shapiro showed up for the Dems tonight. He’s the Jewish Obama, but Team Kamala passed him over…

    • creech

      He’s playing the long game.

      • MikeS

        Yup. He’s laying the groundwork for ’28 or ’32.

  11. Ted S.

    CPRM should have gotten an agent.

    • Gender Traitor

      Good morning, Sean, rhy, Stinky, and Ted’S.!

      • Gender Traitor

        Good morning, U! How are you today?

      • UnCivilServant

        Well, I woke up barely in time to connect to work, wanting little more than to just go back to bed. I check my email to find a question from a subordinate whose answer is in the documentation he was working from, so I’m delaying answering that email because I’m not awake enough to be polite.

      • Gender Traitor

        Some mornings it takes an awful lot of caffeine to get all the way to “polite.”

      • Ownbestenemy

        This is one of the quiet skills being a technician teaches. You hit a roadblock you go back and reassess procedures, test setups, etc. When I hit a roadblock or a question arises, I always go back to documentation to make sure I didn’t overlook something before I ask a question that deserves an answer of “page 43 paragraph b”

      • UnCivilServant

        I wonder if I could just go “I’m starting my vacation early.”

        Probably not, my people expect two more days of getting ducks in a row before having to take care of said ducks themselves.

      • UnCivilServant

        In this case it’s page 31, paragraph 2.

        The whole process it applies to only runs from p29-31 with a lot of screenshots.

      • Ted S.

        The subordinate was close enough for government work.

      • rhywun

        Mornin’.

    • rhywun

      You could have knocked me down with the news that Oprah Winfrey is a jerk.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      Quadrillionaires pissing and moaning about racism, the racism that didn’t keep them from becoming quadrillionaires in the first place BTW, never gets old and by never I mean immediately.

  12. Ownbestenemy

    Good Morning!

    This is what NPCs are all about

    Reporter: Nearly a million jobs “created” since Kamala took office do not exist.

    Raimondo: “I don’t believe it because I’ve never heard Trump say anything truthful.”

    Reporter: “It is from the Bureau of Labor.”

    Raimondo: “I’m not familiar with that.”

    Granted, the clip cuts out and maybe she said more that put “I’m not familiar with that” into context. That isn’t the main problem. One problem is ABC News chyron identifiers her only as a former governor. Sure, she was…but what does she do now?! Oh…U.S. Secretary of Commerce.

    Also, very glaring bug in her programming. Even the lefty LLMs would have picked up that and not just ran with “TRUMP!”.

    Anyway, got the two things running that vexed me all last week. One bug squashed after pouring over logs and one new line delivered helping reduce our taxpayer footprint for not paying for 3 additional lines. You’re welcome America.

      • AlexinCT

        I did on several occasions. I also predicted real crime numbers were far, far higher than they were claiming. That’s because all government entities are now in the loop of gaslighting the serfs.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Say what we will about the commentators on ZH, hey have some pretty deep inside contacts in terms of economic news.

    • Ted S.

      What did you pour over the logs to get them to work?

      • Ownbestenemy

        Debugging fluid.

      • UnCivilServant

        “This smells supiciously like kerosene.”

  13. cavalier973

    Judy Woodruff is claiming that Trump called Netanyahu to try to postpone the cease-fire until after the election.

    It reminds me of the story that Bush called Iran to get them to wait until after the 1980 election to release hostages.

    • Ownbestenemy

      Yea she back tracked that immediately and then tried to blame Axios and I think NYT

  14. cavalier973

    Michelle Obama warned everyone to be suspicious of “folks who took more than they need”, apparently sans any self-awareness.
