We Take You Now to King Neptune Memorial Speedway

November 17, 2008 By

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Atlantianapolis 500, and if you’ve just joined us, it’s been a thrilling race so far.  In a stunning upset, odds-on favorite Mario Clamdretti dropped out of the race when his 300-seahorsepower racer crashed on the far turn.  And as we enter the final laps, I see that current leader Ridley McFlatback is getting the signal from his pit crew to come in for service …

Check my left flipper; it's running a little hot.

I hear he’s got endorsement deals with Shell Oil AND Turtle Wax, Brinke G.

Thankfully, the terrier’s owner, decided to land a PONCHE or two on the attacking shark, breaking the terrier free, and both terrier and man and shark are living happily ever after as a result. Ahn.

Tip: Avoid the Piranha Special

July 23, 2008 By

According to CNN, the hottest new spa treatment in the Washington, DC area is fish pedicures, where tiny, toothless carp nibble away all your dead skin, for the nom-nom-nominal fee of $35.  According to customers, the treatment produces just a tingling sensation: "It kind of feels like your foot’s asleep," says one.  It’s all happening at Yvonne Hair and Nails salon, where the elite meet to become a fishy treat.

Fish are friends -- YOU'RE food.

You first, Angelina R.

I can’t get no… Satisfaction!

July 10, 2008 By

I can’t get no satisfaction
I can’t get no satisfaction
’cause i try and i try and i try and i try [little arm raises up]
I can’t get no, i can’t get no

When i’m drivin’ in my car [arm does little driving motions]
And that man comes on the radio
He’s tellin’ me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can’t get no, oh no no no [pout into microphone]
Hey hey hey, that’s what i say

Balloon Lumpfishes!?

July 8, 2008 By

Can you imagine having the word "lump" in your name? "Hi, the name’s Marty McLumpersons, nice to meet you." Well meet a member of the  Lumpfish family, People. The Eumicrotremus Pacificus.

Instead of balloons, these guys should be sitting on lil’ individual fish-sized couches.

The "Jaw Tooth Blenny fish" (Not to be confused with ‘bleeny’) is a little smiling mo-fo. Get an aquarium full and you’ll never be sad again. Good Times™.
