Fuck you Onstad, I can out-bacon you anyday.

I am sorry you were in Dothan.

I would say "what?" if faced with that hog.

If it's actually made out of pig iron, that is easily the largest and heaviest pun I've ever seen.

Yeah, I imagine the maker of that pig, lugging around hunks of pig iron, reassuring himself "This is hard work, but it will be so worth it.  This is so funny."  And then at the unveiling, golf claps and polite chuckles from the owner of Dothan Recycling, and the maker is all "don't you get it?  It's a pig, made out of pig iron!" 

"Oh, yeah... I get it.  Funny." 
"No  - I spent 3 days hauling iron around.  I lost 30 pounds of sweat welding it together."
"Yeah, and I said it's funny." 
"But you didn't laugh - not really." 
"Oh, well, it's cute.  Ha."
"See - that was a forced laugh."
"Look you need to calm down."
"No!  I will not calm down!  I spent weeks drafting this pig out!  I consulted with Carrot Top's design team!  This is funny!  You just don't know what funny is!"
"Okay.  Okay Mr. Smith... we like your pig!  Dothan Recycling is prepared to pay you..."
"You suits just don't get me!  I'm an artist!  That pig... that pig is personal.  It's my heart up there!"
"Sure... okay"
"Why are you taking out your cell phone!"
"I'm... I think I should call your wife."
"No.  No god damn it!  Look at my pig.  Look at it!  You need to see my pig.  You need to really see it."
"Yeah, I'm calling Nancy."

Later Mr.Smith's wife Nancy divorces him and he takes out the owner of Dothan Recycling before returning to the pig statue where he attempts to destroy the pig.  Sadly though, the pig will not fall - pig iron is sturdy, and his welding job of such high quality.  Mr. Smith climbs a top the pig as rain starts to fall, and begins clanging a shovel over the pig's face, making only cursory scratches.  In a final swing of the shovel Mr. Smith accidentally cuts loose the overhead wires and electrocutes himself.  The local paper prints the headline "Death by Piggyback" with an accompanying article rife with references to barbecue, pig headedness, etc.  Sadly, no one laughs at the article either.  This is why puns are so horrible.  They're not just weak humour - they kill.

I consulted with Carrot Top's design team!

The best thing about Carrot Top is Mr. Show's parody of him: Blueberry Head.

Of course, his image is everywhere in Vegas due to his show at the Luxor. We took to just calling him Satan, because of the surgery.

I'd have tossed in a picture of the results of the HGH and steroids, but I'll leave that as a exercise for the viewer.

probably the number one thing that makes me so glad that we officially live in The Future is that I can see that, say "huh, I have never seen that episode of Mr Show," and instead of going out and buying all the DVDs, I can look that shit up on youtube.

...it seems, though, that congress, copyright lawyers, the RIAA, and a lot of other people don't want to live in the future, though.
I mean, for the love of God, I collect vinyl records and I love putting songs on my iPod. How can they think that saying it is illegal to copy a CD to your computer is a viable business model?

at the same time, lately my computer/youtube don't want to be in the future, either.... searches on youtube are taking forever. Is anyone else having this problem?

I don't want to show people those pics, but I saw them a while back and could easily find them again.  Just yuck.  He also seems to be somewhere on the awkward side of gender transitioning too, with the eye liner, the makeup and the ladyish hair and clothes.  Usually a slight hint of femminess is pretty hot to me, but no - not in this case.  Never.

Eventually he and Axl Rose will be indistinguishable.

Well I've heard all couples end up looking like each other if they're together long enough, so probably.  Yeah.

Zing! Oh man, that's worth a sixer.

What the fuck happened here?  Did my pun cause all of this trouble?
