Punch Dub, Slug Bug, Punch Buggy. Whatever you call it, you know how to play the game. Now VW has picked up on it and has turned it into an advertising campaign:

My favorite punch buggy incidents occurred in Los Angeles back during the first 4×4 tour. Brian Keene, Mike Huyck and I were all riding [...]

Word on the Internets is two of my friends have never heard of W.A.S.P., much less heard their infamous track “Animal (Fuck Like a Beast)”. While I wouldn’t count the band amongst my favorites, you have to have heard this song at least once, especially if you’re a fan at all of hard rock or [...]

No, really, it’s out there:

I saw this on a Cracked article and couldn’t believe it really existed, but there are several related videos featuring the same thing on YouTube. I can understand boxing and MMA, but why make such an arbitrary mix as arm wrestling? I suspect this is a product of a brainstorming session [...]

You’re no doubt familiar with rochambeau, aka rock-paper-scissors, but how about roshambo?
The concept is simple: two pinheads kick each other in the nuts until one gives up.

Yes, kids really are that stupid. Looking at the bright side, though, at least they’re taking their genes out of the pool.

Not because they taste bad or anything like that, but because they take so damn long to smoke. The sticks in this box have averaged two hours a piece, which keeps me on the [...]

There’s a lot of debate over the cause or source of homosexuality, mostly involving nature vs. nurture, biology vs. desire, and so on. We can all agree, however, that it’s not caused by demonic possession.
Or so I thought.
It stuns me that these things still happen. Most people of faith can reconcile science and psychology with [...]

An alien showed up in Pakistan, and what do they do? Kill it.

“Look, an alien! Let’s kill it, cook it up, and show it off on a dinner plate so his friends get really pissed!”
Thanks, Pakistan! Guess we best start preparing for the invasion.
At least they’re tiny and likely have tiny ships. Maybe we can [...]

In searching for some video links for that last post, I found this mash-up of The Wiggles and just can’t stop laughing. It probably helps that I had to sit through several Wiggles tunes with the rugrats.
