Dag Gummit! That's a blooper reel.

I love they way they put these together, in an increasing level of screw up. BTW, when you see dude messing about with the live outboard, don't worry — he doesn't get sliced up.



And if that wasn't enough IAB goodness, we'll now blow the lid off this KD conspiracy:

Alltop loves their KD with blooper.

Ten spurious facts about Queen Victoria

Queen Victoria, Laser Beams powering upYay, it's Victoria Day — one of my favourite holidays, mostly because it's so necessary. For those of you who don't live in Canada, in many provinces we celebrate the birthday of Queen Victoria, Regina Atroxica, who was born on May 24th, 1819. (Thus the holiday is known here as the "Two-Four", which is also, incidentally, the term for a case of beer in hoser. Take off, eh?) Though the origins of the Victoria Day holiday are shrouded in mystery [wiki:], it is worth noting some pertinent...

Marshmallow sundae

ladies wrestling a dragon

Up until that infamous afternoon, none of the members of the Stentnor Strand Ladies' Dragon Wrestling Society had ever seen a dragon, let alone had chance to wrestle one. Their society's name had always been . . . well, let's just say socially metaphoric.

That was all about to change when Bob landed on the beach, looking for a nice place to catch a few rays, and if all went well, eat a virgin. Alas, the ladies of the SSLDWS were all too morally intemperate for Bob to get anything but...

Take me to your breeder

Klaktron XII and WendyKlaktron XII was the Hyper-Commander of the United Federation of Incredibly Regular Planets Space Vessel, Cheeznip. His was a storied career. He'd eaten ultrasonic oysters in the Seafood Nebula, and lived to tell the tale (in five-part harmony). He'd fought the Mighty Slorg at the Interstellar Buffet of Shame and All-You-Can Ingest Space Bacon, narrowly escaping with a portion of the coveted Prime Rib. (Only served on Wednesdays.) And of course, he'd single-handedly defeated the...

Lucidiva™ — Side effects

close up of big bird -- freakyCommon side effects include heavy breathing, panting, hyperventilation, lack of peripheral vision, excessive screaming, painful hearing and nasal discharge that may look like rice pudding. Sorry, but it happens.

You should probably enjoy flatulence if you want to take this drug, unless you live at an even-numbered address, in which case, expect projectile vomiting on an hourly basis. Married men can expect long periods of impotence, though we have not conclusively proved this is because of ...

Darth Vader Records GPS Directions

This is brilliant, even if it is an ad for TomTom. Having just used this technology in Italy, I can say, a Darth Vader version would be an awesome addition to the lovely English lady, the husky Irish barfly, and the strict Austrian dominatrix. That said, I'm sure the Yoda version would be confusing as hell, and the C3P0 version would make you want to crash the car into the nearest solid structure.



Alltop always has difficulties getting off the roundaround.
