 THINKABLES

Panty Crimes

Hot Irony? Topical Cream!

T-shirts are more than clothing. They are a chance to let the world know who you are and which monster truck events you've been to. Believe it or not, some people buy their "statements" at the mall.

 BOGUS RUMORS

DELL INTERNS ALSO PROVIDE TECH SUPPORT (BR)

It was revealed Tuesday that only 60% of Dell's support staff are full time employees. Temps and the 7 actors who play the Dell Interns make up the rest. Dell admitted the embarrassing fact after message boards were flooded last week with complaints by customers who said the final advice they got after a fruitless hour on the support line was, "Jesus Christ, we never had any improv exercises like this in acting class!"

COLLEGE STUDENT SAYS STAR WARS STILL RUINED (BR)

A college student at a party last Monday said that he can still barely watch any Star Wars movie at this point because the “empire” now reminds him too much of “downtown D.C.”. “When Clones came out and Palpatine created a fake enemy – the clones – as an excuse to seize more power for himself, my jaw dropped… it’s just like our war with muslimism.” After re-examining earlier films and concluding that “Cheney might as well be Vilmarh Grahrk,” he decided that watching them (except for the Planet Endoor scenes) is “just too fucking real, now”.

MAN OPTS FOR DAISY 'PILATE' FUENTES (BR)

For the last three Saturdays, a Cleveland man has forsaken his extensive porn collection in favor of body sculpting infomercials. “I don’t know why I’ve been waking up so early. It’s not like I’m setting my alarm to wake up and masturbate to Daisy Fuentes doing Pilates, but I’ve been up and things have just been happening.” An avid pornography fan since the eighth grade, he has devoted an entire room of his home to pornography , including some weird, unmentionable stuff. “When I’m lying there on the couch, I know I could get up and grab a tape, but it’s more spontaneous this way.” He then glanced downward at his hands before continuing, “And spontaneity is the key to any successful relationship.”

BILL WALTON, JASON KIDD TO MARRY (BR)

NBA free-agent-to-be Jason Kidd revealed he will make a fresh start next season with a new team and a new husband, NBA analyst Bill Walton. Kidd said Walton's repeated comments during the NBA finals about "my stunning green eyes" was what initially attracted him. Walton later confirmed the story and added they plan to adopt Richard Jefferson, a player Walton has often referred to as "magnificent" and "the most incredible player of all time". Walton then joked, "Jason won't be beating on me like his old wife, though, because if he does, I'll dunk something in his face!"

This is not the greatest song introduction in the world, it's just a tribute to the greatest song introduction in the world, which actually reads nothing like this introduction.

 MY MONKEY OF THE WEEK

The Duck-Billed Platypus

My name is Ken Bialobrzeski of the Polish Corner and I like monkeys. This week’s monkey is the duck-billed platypus. In response to those who claim the platypus is a duck and not a monkey; you are wrong. I, too, was once fooled by the duckbill, but then I discovered that the platypus is actually a marsupial, just like monkeys because they used to be able to fly. My name is Ken Bialobrzeski of the Polish Corner and I like monkeys.

If you’re wondering why I’m not Kevin, who usually writes this column, it’s because he’s a fraud and he claims to be the world’s number one fan of monkeys, an improvable statement if ever there ever was one. I know improvable statements when I hear them. Like the time I tried to prove to some dude talking trash that I did, in fact, know my ass from a hole in the ground and I ended up coining the term “shovelectomy”. I didn’t prove shit and Kevin has never even seen Project X, so in no way, shape, or form can he be the top monkey fan on the planet.
