It's only 85-90 or so here, but we've got 72% humidity, so it's like being shoved into a crappy sauna every time you go outside.
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Combining the Bitches' YouTube frenzy with the Rollins discussion, I present one my my favorite early '90s videos: 3rd Base - "Pop Goes The Weasel". Check out who plays Vanilla Ice.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Worst. Comic. Evah?
I Shall Destroy All the Civilized Planets!
I've just finished "I Shall Destroy All the Civilized Planets!" Paul Karasik's anthology of comics by Fletcher Hanks.
Fletcher Hanks is a mysterious and obscure figure in comics history, the creator of WWII-era strips like "Stardust the Super Wizard" and "Fantomah: Mystery Woman of the Jungle." These strips were beyond terrible, filled with a kind of idiotic energy. Each panel tops the previous panel for freakish goofiness, each strip surpasses the previous strip for mind-croggling ham-fistedness.
Hanks's characters have seemingly unlimited powers (and extremely quirky anatomy), and yet they always seem to turn up after some racial bad guy (these heroes fight Kurds, "slant eyes" and shylock-looking Jews, among others) kills thousands of people. Then they tear them apart limb from limb in bloody revenge.
The link has the description of the plot of one of the comics - it's mind-bogglingly bad. Also, four panels to look at....
("mind-bogglingly" - is that a word? that one can say out loud?)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
When I watched that 'Pop Goes the Weasel" video, I momentarily thought, 'Why are there all those ferrets in the video? Were ferrets even popular as pets then?" And then I realized they were weasels!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love that video. I also especially love it when anti-crossover songs become huge hits.

Okay, seriously? That was bad. Worse than bad. I'd rather be forced to only read Archie & Jughead all my life than read another panel of that.

Considering the descriptions of your brother, I actually believe that.

I know, right? Pop pop goes the weasel, the weasel. Pop goes the weasel and the weasel goes pop!
