Rum, Simile and the Lash: Hail Squishface (and Tuesday Open Thread)

Sorry I apologize for depriving you of my authorial brilliance last week. We were busy having a baby.

Sister Squishface Mayhem was born last Tuesday. She cannot change shape or dance the meringue,

but her gas may kill us all, so that’s a parallel.

UPDATE: I am informed that is the “merengue”. This is the “meringue”

Either way. HAIL SQUISHFACE!

NFL NEWS: Nothing happy.

* After threatening a holdout, wideout Terry McLaurin has allegedly tied his near future to the brick that is the Washington Clit Commanders. It’s supposedly a 3 year extension onto the end of his expiring rookie deal, meaning that he is stuck until 2026. On the upside, he sold his soul and sanity pretty dearly, with a mostly-guaranteed $70+ million payday, $28 million of which is a signing bonus. Given the likelihood that Washington would franchise tag him next year, it was probably good to get the money now. Now we just wait for Snyder to start smearing him in the local newspapers.

*Out of work running backs Adrian Peterson and Le’Veon Bell have agreed to box each other at an exhibition match in July. Peterson has already guaranteed victory, stating that he will “whip that guy like he was my son’s scrotum”.

NOT NFL:

Baseball. Baseball as far as the eye can see. No more basketball. No more hockey. No Corrupt World Cup until fucking November.

I suggest sleeping until at least mid-August

WHAT MOVIE TO WATCH:

Like I can stay awake long enough for a movie.

I suggest the aforementioned SeaLab 2021. Even though it now qualifies as alternate history.

EDIT: I am a fucking idiot. It’s Mel Brooks’ 98th birthday, so you should watch one of his many masterpieces. So in the interests of creating artificial conflict, here is my Ranked List of Mel Brooks Brilliance:

1. Young Frankenstein

2. Blazing Saddles

3. Spaceballs

3a  Get Smart

3b Robin Hood

4. History of the World

5. Dracula: Dead and Loving It (don’t @ me, it’s a classic)

6. The Producers

7. High Anxiety

8. Silent Movie

9. 12 Chairs

10. Life Stinks

I will be taking no questions.

While we’re on the topic of Mel Brooks films, which should I show Senorita Weaselo first? I’m leaning Blazing Saddles on account of it’s my favorite, and I feel like as she didn’t watch Star Wars she might not get the parody of Spaceballs.

I’d possibly say Young Frankenstein, but *prepares to duck* I haven’t actually had the chance to see it.

Brick Meathook

Young Frankenstein and The Producers

Senor Weaselo

The Mostel/Wilder version, I presume? Her first dealing with musicals was Legally Blonde.

Coincidentally she hates musicals.

Wakezilla

Congratulations on the new bundle of joy!

And congratulations to me for finally getting that password reset email so I can finally log in and post

Mr. Ayo

*quickly embezzles Wakezilla memorial funds*

Welcome back!

SonOfSpam

what’re you gonna do with the five-and-change?

rockingdog

Last funny;

trump freaking out and grabbing the wheel when he realizes the secret service is taking him to the vet instead of the dog park

TheRevanchist

I don’t feel like going past a top few. Mainly because I am lazy.

1. History of The World Part 1
2. To Be Or Not To Be
3. Blazing Saddles
4. Spaceballs
5. Robin Hood: Men in Tights

I like the rest, but these ones are the ones I have seen many times over because I love them.

ballsofsteelandfury

YES! To Be Or Not To Be is highly underrated!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Good call, I forgot about it.

TheRevanchist

I had it on laserdisc. Truly old am I.

ballsofsteelandfury

I saw it in the movie theater. That’s how old I am.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Fine I’ll do my list

1. Blazing Saddles
2. History of the World Part I
3. Spaceballs
4. Young Frankenstein
5. Get Smart
6. 2000 Year Old Man (if Get Smart is on this list, so is this)
7. Robin Hood: Men in Tights
8. Dracula: Dead and Loving It
9. High Anxiety
10. The Producers
11. Silent Movie
12. 12 Chairs

I guess I need to finally watch Life Stinks to have a complete list…

Dunstan

The server should have only shown 3/5 of the digits in the card.

SonOfSpam

Dammit, that’s great.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Maybe they should just use 3/5 of his credit limit with the full cc number

SonOfSpam

Like Steve Martin in “LA Story”

“Fine…you can have the chicken.”

2Pack

Congratulations on the new addition or perhaps edition? Space Balls is my favorite, with my tendency to live life at ludicrous speed and all…

SonOfSpam

1 (Tie) – Blazing Saddles/Young Frankenstein
3 – History of the World
4 – High Anxiety
5 – Spaceballs
6 – The Producers
7 – Robin Hood
8 – Life Stinks
9 – Dracula

Have not seen Silent Movie or 12 Chairs

First place is so tough, because Blazing Saddles has more/better jokes, but Young Frankenstein is the better movie.

And the little one is adorable. (your kid, not your penis, although send me pics and I’ll let you know)

litre_cola

On reddit I just learned about “jump humping” at BYU. So ya there soaking…. and your mate jumps on the bed so they are the ones making the friction happen between you and your pious partner. Interesting stuff indeed. Not sure if ole Joseph Smith ever thought about that!

Senor Weaselo

Hmm, I thought one was normally more covert if they had a voyeurism fetish.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

God I fucking loved Get Smart reruns as a kid. We didn’t have cable so I could only watch when I visited my grandma. That and Car 54 Where Are You were the best.

yeah right

I watched as many Get Smart reruns as I did Twilight Zone reruns. It was and still is at the point where I could name that episode in the first 30 seconds.

Don’t forget; Buck Henry cowrote!

That’s destined for comedy greatness.

I respect your courage showing Dracula: Dead and Loving It some love. It’s not as great as his classics but compared to the parody movies in the 21st Century, it’s a masterpiece.

Speaking of babies, here’s a trip through some tunnels, which are like birth canals. I don’t know why women complain so much about giving birth; it seems pretty easy to me. I mean, the kid does all the work. Observe:

SonOfSpam

Did you throw a hotdog through there?

Senor Weaselo

Ah, this is the life. Watching a game during my break. And by that I mean my gig is on the other side of Flushing Meadows and I can see the top of the Citi Field video board.

yeah, Rev, when are y’all gonna let your drunk and imaginary pals babysit??

Fronkenshteen

HI NEW BABY!! Welcome aboard, kiddo! We’re you’re weirdo uncles and aunts. You’ll be getting your first cigarettes and beers slipped Uber your tent flaps in *HARUMPH* years from us! Three things you need to know: 1) Yer dad is an hilarious writer. 2) Donald Trump put his hands on the throat of his own security detail. 3) 100 Flowers is the most underrated record since clocks. https://youtu.be/CadC2ApferU

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

What’s far more important than the “Orange Julius Take the Wheel” story is that he KNEW the crowd was carrying weapons and encouraged the crowd to march on the Capitol ANYWAY – and told them he’d be going with them. Also the witness tampering, and the part about regularly throwing his plates at the wall.

ballsofsteelandfury

Squishface is adorable!

History of the World Part 1 is my #1 with Spaceballs a close 2nd with Blazing Saddles right in there. Honestly, I could go three-way tie for 1st, but that would be a copout.

litre_cola

I shit you not, Mrs. Cola looked at the pic off the wee’un and said “Oh look at that squishy face.”

Horatio Cornblower

Congrats on her upcoming pregnancy

litre_cola

If she is then there are questions as I have been lasered. The “ball nurse” seems like quite the job if you are in to nutsacks.

Horatio Cornblower

I’d switch Blazing Saddles with Young Frankenstein, otherwise I have no issues with said list.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Shit. I went to give this article five stars and fat fingered it. Rest assured, it’s five stars in my heart.

Game Time Decision

I’ll like yours if you like mine

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Look, technically she can’t dance the merengue or the meringue, so you weren’t wrong.

Brick Meathook

Boy I remember when my wife went into labor that first time. I was shooting pool down at the bar when they handed me the phone. “It’s time, honey, come quick! I’m at the hospital! Mother drove me!” she said. “I’ll be right there, sweetheart!” I said, and I got in my car and got the hell out of that town. After two years of marriage it’s a good thing I never told her my real name.

rockingdog

Found a funny;

the founding fathers would be like what do you mean there are catholics on the supreme court

Brick Meathook

Clarence Thomas would explode their heads.

Horatio Cornblower

Hail Squishface! Well done, Rev. And, I presume, Mrs. Rev.

Where Were You When Wifey Went Into Labor With Your First-Born?-

I was assembling orders in the warehouse when I got the news-aside from the Giants defeating the unbeaten Pats in 2007, this is my happiest memory.*

/I’m kidding, of course*

King Hippo

The hospital (laboUr was induced)

yeah right

I had just fallen asleep and had a big presentation at a job faire at my old alma mater on the benefits of working for my new company. The presentation was for 11:00 in the morning and it was around 3 when I woke up.

It was all chaotic after that.

litre_cola

Sleepin beside her when the water broke at 3 am. She was in laboUr for 43 hours. What a trooper.

TheRevanchist

We were both asleep in bed. It was into the early AM hours when she woke me.

King Hippo

Good Christ, I would happily sell my soul for, like, 10% of that-now-undraftable-in-fantasy WR’s haul.

That’s absolutely fantastic! Congrats to the entire expanding Mayhem Clan.

Did you know there is a channel called Dateline 24/7?

King Hippo

It would be funny if it went off the air from, say, midnight-7a. LIKE TEEVEE DONE USED TO
