Yeah, this is from last year, but it’s still great. Lost Rhapsody, by Robert Montjoy

I just want to underscore that this is how he treats his supporters.

It’s good to laugh at people who are different. Their ways are stange and threatening and, when we mock them, we let them know that Our Way Of Life protects us like a shield from their strange smells, and from the diabolical grunts that they pretend are language.

“Do your worst“, KookyChow Dot Com says to them, We Are Not Afraid.

I am particularly grateful to them for letting me know about Monkey Gland Sauce. I’ve ordered a bottle and plan to display it prominenty.

Now we’ll see who wears that goddamn hat.

Sketch Swap is a fun little thing. Draw a quick picture and, when you click “send”, it goes off somewhere random. In return you get a random picture that somebody else drew.

What’s this? A new BB title?

Oh yes, friends, the long wait is over. Moonstone is releasing a new series of Buckaroo Banzai comic books, err “graphic novels”.

New stories, new adventures. My copy is already on its way.

DP, who really needs a better nickname, sent along this crazy cool video of a robot that starts out as a car but then stands up and walks.

I totally need one of these because the monkey butler just isn’t working out. He refuses to wear his little hat and, instead of bringing me mojitos he just drinks them himself and then throws the glass at my head. And he puts too much rum in them! Really, whoever heard of a banana mojito in the first place? I think he made it up. Stupid monkey.

Anyway, a robot butler would be awesome. He’d wear a little hat and bring me mojitos with precisely the correct amount of rum to six decimal places. Best of all, his mojitos won’t smell like monkey poop and he’ll never get drunk and try to make me his special monkey friend.

Yup. A robot butler. What could possible go wrong?

This is way cooler than it sounds. Pick your colors and arrange them, and it draws a tartan. Then, when it’s done, you can get it tuned into actual fabric.

TheGoodDoctor disagreed with my Super Bowl ad comments. In his eyes, there was only the Burger King ad. He went on and on about the costumes and the music. Oh, how he loves showgirls in gowns.

Sure, he claims to spend all that time in Vegas golfing, but I think we all know the truth: He’s there for the shows. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? Nobody ever needs to know how many times you’ve seen Celine Dion.

Well, joy of joys, thanks to the blessed interweb you can make your own cut of the ad! They’ve put up a special site where you can wallow in everything there is to know about this masterpiece. Download the music as an MP3, or print out the sheet music and gather the family for a sing along! Like the costumes? They provide drawings and behind the scenes photos so you can make your own. There’s a making-of video. This one’s for you, Doc. Have it your way.

PS – All kidding aside, what the hell were they thinking? A small army of people is required to mount a production like this. They worked on it every day for months. Why did nobody ever say, “wait a minute! This is horrible! Let’s do something else, or even nothing.” I mean, it’s not like they show up at the office one day and there’s a video tape waiting. There are weeks of meetings and design reviews. Dozens of people have to approve every aspect. Casting, set design, choreography, music, costumes, and a million other things. There are days of rehearsal and shooting. When the dailies came back, why didn’t they just do the right thing and burn them?

I plan to show this movie to the jury at my trial. Yeah, sure, it looks like me but you can’t believe your eyes anymore. And, uhh, those witnesses had memories implanted in their heads by a super-secret government agency that… well, I don’t want to give away my whole defense strategy. You can watch it on Court TV like everybody else.

I think they jury will buy it.
