Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Workload this week indicates light posting. For now, enjoy the freakshow.
"You see the toads crawling along the ground, swelling and getting bigger as they go until they are like little tennis balls, and then they suddenly explode."
Pimp my pizza cutter.
17th century death clock: "During the same time, one of the serpents slowly sinks into one of the eye-sockets, while the other slowly comes out of the other eye, just before retracting suddenly as the first serpent springs out from its own eye-socket."
I'll bet Bad Boy Records paid a pretty penny for this ugly-ass cake.
"On our ten year anniversary we're going to take off the next joint, and then the whole finger on our twentieth." And they want children.
"Anatoly Marchevsky, director of the Yekaterinburg circus, said he had first wanted leopards to be the Nazis but that it was easier to design and fit costumes for monkeys."
And the question of the day: what was male-prostitute-turned-White-House-reporter James "Bulldog" Guckert doing on those days he's recorded as showing up to the White House when there were no press conferences?
TrackBackFirst I thought the toad explosions might be somebody putting firecrackers down their throat - but not if there are a thousand exploding.
Then I remembered my experiment many years ago with a toad and june bugs. One evening I found a toad and, out of curiosity, set a june bug in front of him. He pounced on the bugger faster than a duck on a june bug. I caught more june bugs and set them in front of the toad who ate an amazing amount of them. More than ten, I'm pretty sure. But he didn't explode. He just stopped eating them. He did have a sort of wistful look on his face, perhaps remembering when he was younger and could eat more.

Is this the source of the Wendy's Chili finger? ;-)
Posted by: Hemlock Echo at April 25, 2005 04:33 PMWow. Fooled by an April Fools Day prank on April 25th. I think that's moved from fool to chump.
And mama said she didn't raise no dummies...
Posted by: apostropher at April 25, 2005 05:08 PMI must say, though...that's some damn fine photoshoppin'. Particularly the close up, head on shot of her finger. Got me at first, too.
Posted by: thom at April 25, 2005 07:33 PMHow are you sure it's an April fool's day joke? Amputation as a form of body art is certainly real, though the home-grown aspect of this one is certainly weird. But what's the standard for "weird" when talking about amputation?
Posted by: Michael at April 26, 2005 12:44 AMOh, it is. At the bottom of the page: "For foolish bibliographical purposes this article was first published April 1st, 2005 by BMEZINE.COM in La Paz, BCS, Mexico."
