A Brief Hiatus 2008-04-11 07:31:23 The postings here on The Stinker will probably be pretty light for the next couple of weeks. I have some traveling to do for work and some other things going on. Plus I’ve become addicted to using my modified time portal to spy on parallel universes, like I talked about here and here. When I [...] Read more:Brief

Song Parody: Let It Be 2008-04-22 05:54:30 This is probably the world’s first Beatles parody about Rush. Complete with footnotes, so the Rush-impaired can understand along with the rest of us. Although it isn’t as funny when you have to explain it.
Geddy Lee (a parody of “Let It Be”)
When his granny had a bit of trouble
Saying “Gary” Yiddishly
Speaking with an accent, “Geddy [...]
Song Parody: Morning Train 2008-04-24 09:07:53 Yes, I know, that’s two song parodies in a row. Deal with it.
This one’s a parody of Sheena Easton’s “MorningTrain
.”
Morning Brains
I get up every mornin’
Stumble on a head
Stretchin’ and a-yawnin’
My hubby’s still undead
He’s animate forever
He’s my big dead guy
He isn’t very clever
And only has one eye
But the moment that he’s with me
Time can take [...]
Parallel Universe Version of “Lost” 2008-04-25 07:30:04 Listen up, Stinker peeps. This post is about as weird as it gets. As promised here, I’m going to tell you about a version of the hit TV series “Lost” that I found in a parallel universe. The show in that universe is strangely different than in ours. Here’s a synopsis of the parallel universe [...] Read more:Parallel

Random Rants 2008-04-29 08:18:22 Today’s post is just some random notes and rants on various topics, some funny, some not. It’s hit or miss without a humor muse, you know. (Is this excuse wearing thin yet?)
On my blogroll…
I’ve been meaning to add some entries to my blogroll for quite a while, and I finally got around to doing it. [...] Read more:Random
Guest Post: Humor Muse Barbie 2008-04-30 11:17:48 Like wow. My very first guest post evar, I’m soooo excited!
So I’m supposed to use this post to like answer some questions that guy at The Stinker sent to me. Wish me luck, k? OMG, I’m like sooo nervous! If I do really really good I might get the job as humor muse, that would [...] Read more:Guest

On Web Statistics and Overanalysis 2008-05-01 11:04:29 I use StatCounter to track my web stats here on The Stinker. Today’s post summarizes some of the interesting things StatCounter has been telling me.
First, the long-term trend. Since I started The Stinker about 4 months ago, my stats have been steadily climbing:
Now, I’m clueless about how to promote my blog. The only thing I [...] Read more:Statistics
A Brief Hiatus 2008-05-04 14:23:58 I’m on travel for work all week, so posting may be rather light (i.e., practically non-existent) until next week.
Coming soon: guest posts from some of the other candidates for the humor muse position. How did you think Humor Muse Barbie did? She’s a bit too bubbly and extroverted for me, I think. Read more:Brief

Guest Post: The Great Gazoo 2008-05-07 21:39:52 Greetings, dum-dums. Having been exiled to the hellishly boring backwaters of your second-rate galaxy with nothing better to do at the moment, I have decided to grace you with my towering intellect in a guest post here on — oh, I hesitate to even write it — The Stinker. What a disgraceful name for an [...] Read more:Guest

Motivational Poster Parodies &tc. for the Week of May 11, 2008 2008-05-09 14:51:07 Note, when browsing by category (”MotivationalPoster
Parodies”), you must click on the post title to see the images.
Okay, since I’ve been gone most of the week and didn’t get a chance to do my weekly motivators/ LOLs post, I thought I’d just post a batch for both this week and next week together. Here [...] Read more:Motivational Poster
Go, Speed Racer! 2008-05-12 19:03:40 In 1970, when I was five years old, my family moved from Los Angeles to Cincinnati, forever separating me from my beloved kindergarten sweetheart, a young brunette lass named Jackie. Sigh.
But it all turned out okay, because Cincinnati’s then-independent TV station, WXIX Channel 19, introduced me to a new cartoon that I had never seen [...] Read more:Speed

My Evil Mastermind Persona 2008-05-14 08:37:37 If I was going to invent an evil mastermind persona for myself, I would be a bit more circumspect about it than other evil masterminds have been. Take Sauron, for instance. In the Third Age of Middle Earth, he took the form of a giant red eyeball floating atop a mountain spire in Mordor. You [...] Read more:Mastermind
An Unsolicited Pimping for the “Can O’ Whup-Ass” Blog 2008-05-15 13:14:53 In this post, I introduced my blogroll as it existed at the time (March 7, 2008). As I mentioned, I only put my own personal favorites, i.e., my “daily reads,” in my blogroll.
Today I want to pick one of these blogs to highlight to the attention of my readership. No particular reason for this, other [...] Read more:Unsolicited
Global Warming Caused by Lesbians and Midgets 2008-05-21 07:22:38 I lied. This post has nothing to do with lesbians, global warming, or midgets. I just needed a snappy title. So sue me.
Anyhoo, this is a post of miscellaneous crap that I need to get off my chest and out of my system.
First: I had to get rid of my old lawnmower. I put it [...] Read more:Global

Another First for our Space Program 2008-05-20 08:00:23 I wasn’t going to put up a post today (I’m working on a parody or two for later this week), but I ran across a news item I just wanted to share very briefly.

Special Bonus Post! With Monkeys! 2008-05-27 12:07:31 Okay, I said I was too busy to post much, and now here I am posting twice in one day. I know! WTF, right?
Anyhoo, in this post about Speed Racer, I included a picture of the die-cast Mach 5 model by Ertl that sits on my desk at work. However, I posted a pic I [...] Read more:Special

Yet Another Brief Hiatus 2008-05-27 08:45:59 Sorry the posting has been a bit thin lately. I’ve been busy. And I’m on travel again for work this week, so posting will remain sporadic for a while.
Yes, lame. I know.
Anyhoo, here’s a couple of motivators, just so I can say I posted something this week.

RIP: Harvey Korman 2008-05-29 22:21:19 Harvey Korman has died. Harvey was truly a great comedic force, both in his own right and as a counterpart to Tim Conway on the Carol Burnett Show.
The Stinker is in mourning until further notice. This is sad news indeed. Read more:Harvey
The Stinker Breaks 200! 2008-05-29 07:58:25 It was just a couple months ago that The Stinker broke 100 unique visitors per day for the first time, as I posted about here.
Now, check out my stats from Tuesday (May 27th).
I not only broke 200 for the first time, I blew right the hell by it and all the way up to 274, [...]
The Stinker Is Kicking Ass 2008-06-03 07:20:01 306 unique visitors yesterday, bitches! This, after breaking 200 for the first time just last week. Okay, it didn’t hurt that I got a boost of 50+ extra visitors thanks to my post from yesterday appearing in the humor-blogs.com running list of funny recent posts.
And, I celebrate this news on my birthday. Yep, June [...] Read more:Kicking

An Ode to Slow Drivers in the Fast Lane 2008-06-05 06:00:34 With apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
An Ode to Slow Drivers
in the Fast Lane
How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways.
I loathe thee to the depths and breadths and heights
My soul can reach, while watching your brake lights.
For in the fast lane being, with your slow pace,
I loathe thee in your poorly chosen [...]

This Day in History 2008-06-10 08:51:54 On June 10th, 1776, the Continental Congress appointed Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Samuel Adams to write a statement of independence from Britain. After getting “rather quite into their cups” courtesy of a keg of summer ale provided by Sam Adams, they came up with this first draft:
When in the courfe of human [...] Read more:History
