kill the wabbit: the heavy metal version

Not much going on visually in this vid, but then if you’re really getting into the spirit of the thing what would you care/how would you know, because of course you’d be headbanging yourself and unable to focus, let alone read. It’s neither Metallica nor Megadeth, it’s some band you never heard of; their lead singer sounds like Elmer Fudd, so is it any wonder you’ve never heard of them? He’s Ozzy Fudd, Mark McCollum, if you must know.

From the Department of Useless Trivia, which is, naturellement, the most crucial department in the whole of raincoasterbloglandia, comes the stunning news that the great Loony Tune known as “What’s Opera, Doc” is fifty ears years old this week.

Sex and the City and the Matrix?

I must have missed that episode. Tell me, dear reader, would Carrie Bradshaw and Neo not have the dumbest, most perfectly styled baby of all time? Also, if that ain’t Laurence Fishburne, who the fuck is it? I recognize the White Rabbit.

Transformers Mister Potatohead: Optimash Prime

Ten bucks? How is this not sold out yet? Why, it’s almost as clever as Darth Tater!

Optimash Prime

 

He’s modeled more on the 80’s cartoon Optimus than the version we’ll see in theaters soon — and yes, we’re going, even if Michael Bay is a no-talent clown — and he even comes with a mini semi-truck, just in case you forgot what he looks like when he’s not, you know, a potato.

Nancy Drew in pregnancy shocker!

There goes the last of my childhood heroes. All I can say is, wow, that must have been quite the party. Can’t wait for the first grainy cellcam footage to show up on YouTube.

Nancy Drew’s impregnation

Actually, who am I kidding? Nancy had a stick up her ass the size of the Washington Monument. Trixie Belden was the cool one.
