No bun please, my colon needs work





Unhungry?
More like unfathomable.

Go Forth, young nerd.

Back when I was a lad, there were two kinds of places to find computers within the the home. The first was in the "rumpus" or "games" room, where you'd also find a small pool table, a copy of electronic Simon or Battleships with a flat battery, and a large scattering of Lego or Torro. The second place was in the bedroom of older cousins of yours or your friends. These rooms always had the curtains drawn and smelt "funny".

The second location is exactly where I imagine you'd have found a copy of this book, probably concealing a faded Legalong catalogue or even a copy of Gent or Razzle.

Low standards of decency remain amongst couch vendors

WHAT IT IS: "2 x 2 seater couches"

DESCRIPTION OF ITEM: "- am moving overseas and have 2 x 2 couches that I'd like to get rid of
- couches are old but in pretty decent nick"

PRICE: Start your bidding at $10. Clearly this person REALLY would like to get rid of these.

COMMENT FROM SELLER: None yet.

So, what IS smooch?

Some people are still struggling with the concept of smooch in visual form. Thankfully, contributor See-J Juan had recently visited the established emporium that is "Dress Smart" - keep that moniker in mind when viewing these examples:

This is smooch.

Photobucket
This... ...what ever this is... ...is smooch.

Photobucket
This is smooch (in concept and execution, how does it even work in a way that provides any challenge).

Photobucket
This is a cart. Of smooch. Quite the effort of sourcing on this one.

Photobucket
This is... well, you can see it's a packet of tasty, spicy Cock™. It's smooch too.

Television in New Zealand

Nick writes: "Hey TV3 news, your trailer for Green Lantern is actually just a fan trailer from YouTube. P.S. stop broadcasting stuff off YouTube the resolution is terrible. Also, facts... please."

I think he makes an entirely valid point.

I know they say "go green" but this is ridiculous...

Guest post: Auckland Smooch Style

"...but you ARE lazy, right?" "Oh, don't get me started!"

"PAJAMA (sic) JEANS™"

"Pajamas you live in, jeans you sleep in."

"They're the newest thing!"

"Of course I, you, and everybody we know needs a pair of Pajama Jeans. They are comfy and roomy and true to size. They slide on like butter, wear like bowl of fresh cream. I put on a nice blouse, and I'm pretty sure I could actually go on a job interview like this and nobody would know the difference."

I will personally get hired to the same company, ascend the corporate ladder ahead of (shan't be hard, clearly they'll be immensely lazy), then resoundingly fire anyone who thinks it's okay to turn up to a job interview in the clothes they sleep.

Acceptable wear only for the most frugal of hobos.


Thanks to T Lungz for sourcing this amazing item of smooch.

Bizarre "commemorative" t-shirt

Photobucket

As downright odd as the "free" ones that used to come with computer games in the early 1990's.

...and again




Deliberate Freudian screenshot. Tch.

I don't know what or why...



...but it had to be seen.



"Thanks" to Johnny A

I fear for the offspring of the loins of whoever owns this...

I know we generally call adolescents "stupid kids" out of derision towards their almost guilt-free ignorance, but it would help if retailers didn't stoop down to their almost nonexistent levels of taste and shame.

WELL, HOT TOPIC ARE CERTAINLY NOT HELPING.

Photobucket

For they are now selling this "item", of which I would have been most certainly defiantly unimpressed with had it been offered to me in 1990 (the peak of my fandom of all things Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And I was 10.)

Photobucket

I wish to punch everyone involved. In the larynx.

Many gracious thanks to See J for finding this abysmal item o' smooch.
