Cleanliness for soiled childhood memories

I’ve had a nasty bias against SC Johnson’s Scrubbing Bubbles ever since, as a small child, I discovered that the bubbles do not actually have whisker brush mustaches.
I knew even then that they were not likely to be sentient—I wasn’t retarded— just like the Kool Aid man was not actually a living, breathing creature, yet the fundaments of his form were still valid, in that he was a pitcher full of sugar water who could be, with enough force, rammed through walls. So that’s just my word of warning: this new Automatic Shower Cleaner ejaculates bubbles in every one of 360 different degrees, but not bubbles with scouring bristles. And when you run out of bubble sauce after 21 cleanings, I’m sure they’ll be happy to sell you more. (Thanks, Gizmodo & Adam!)

Brando, this one’s for you

This was great, I had to share this. The Geek hierarchywas pretty good, but this one if fan-fucking-tastic. This was lifted from Midaregami, I’m sure he doesn’t mind.. I’m giving him credit and while I’m at it, The Brunching Shuuttlecocks copy of Lore Sjöberg’s Geek Heirarchy.

I can’t help but feel the whole Fight Club-Group Therapy vibe from the whole thing, only thing missing is Bob and his bitch tits.

Farther Side

This was one of my favorite Far Side comics and to see it brought to life with Photoshop brings a tear to my eye. Gary Larson, You are a comidic genious.

And then the Complete Far Side comes out and sets new levels of lust for an inanimate object. I mean, weighing in at 20 lbs. of paper and cardboard, if I had a coffee table that cound handle it (and the money of course) this thing would already be mine. Gary, why do you taunt me so. I already have all of the Gallery books, and the Prehistory… I LOVE THE PREHISTORY DAMNIT!!! Then he throws another 1,100 that have never seen the light of day.
Why didn’t these comics make it? Did they just not make the cut? Were they too twisted, too raunchy, too outlandishly absurd… I NEED TO KNOW!
