Pizza and Chinese? What the gently caress mom :tizzy:

There's mom, towing in the monthly payslip to feed her family. She was called in by her boss today and informed she'd be taking a pay cut, meaning dad would have to go out on the game again. Having been taken aside for so long, she finally excused herself and heaved herself into the car, making sure the tears stinging her eyes didn't mess up her eyeliner in the rearview mirror. Having no time to cook, she decided to try and lighten up the night, despite the hardship to come, by bringing home a family sized pizza with an assortment of toppings she was sure the kids, her babies Buster and Lizzie would like. However, when she returned she found the entire family sitting around the dining table ready to tuck into some Chinese food. Not to be disheartened, she opened up the box and plastered a little smile onto her face which dissolved into confusion and pain as soon as the cheesy cardboard met wood.

"What the gently caress mom?" shouted young Buster "Pizza and Chinese food?"

"I want a divorce. I can't take it anymore, Sally." said Paul, her husband of seven years as he stared into her destroyed visage with pure contempt.

Mom stepped back, raising her arms in a futile protest. As the four way verbal beatdown wound down, Sally left the house, flew off to the Bahamas and lived happily ever after.

(What a bunch of ungrateful shits. Power to you, mom.)

Bulletball is something will never be forgotten. It is not only an incredibly tragic story, but at the same time, an immensely hilarious and confusing one. And who could ever forget the Bulletball theme? My god, that theme.

What I don't get is why those guys in the commercial have the club but are peeing into the trees anyway.

"Don't mind me, I may look like I'm peeing, but I definitely am not. Nope, no chance. I'm totally lining up a shot, guys, the ball went right next to this tree. See I have my club! Yeah, what a coincidence, standing still in front of a tree but NOT peeing, haha. Ok hold on...there. Oh wait guys my ball isn't by this tree at all! I could have sworn it was!"


The problem with that club, or rather a problem, is that I can just imagine someone forgetting to screw on the top completely and it just splashing out all over his arms once he swings.

I don't think that you're actually supposed to use that club to play the game. It's just a plastic storage reservoir that looks like a club. It probably wouldn't even work very well.

Then again what do I know about golf technology? Maybe the urine-filled club shaft is the hottest new thing. Adds yards to your drive!

e: wait, I just had an idea! Sell the UroClub with the special UroClub wheelie golf bag. When you're done using the UroClub, place it in the special designated spot in the bag. A check valve in the club locks into an internal pipe system in the bottom. When you start to roll the bag forwards, a discrete perforated hose invisibly distributes the urine onto the golf course, preparing the UroClub for the next use. © 2013 Sagebrush don't steal

Yeah the idea is to take out this lovely looking club that doesn't look like anything else in your bag, put it under your little bib thing, jiggle it around a little while covertly unscrewing the cap and inserting your penis, spend a minute or two (or more considering its marketed towards olds) just standing there pretending to line up your shot while an odd sound of liquid filling a container is present, then jiggle around a little more to get those extra drips of pee out and screwing the cap back on, after that all you have to do is put this club back in your bag, get out your other club and take the shot in half a second.

Easy! Why wouldn't that look normal?

I think that of the old people I know, about half would think it was a dumb idea, and half just don't give a poo poo what other people think and would love it and buy them for all their friends. You just need to golf only with other people who also own UroClubs. Then you can all piss into your golf clubs simultaneously, while the group behind you looks on in confusion.

I'm acquainted the other kind of old man: the one that sounds like he's always talking in all caps and can be heard from 200 yards away at his "indoor voice" level. He'd have no problem pissing on any random tree at any time, then question why you'd have a problem with it and likely accuse you of being a homosexual for watching him in the first place.

That's pretty much exactly what it is, people pointing and laughing at the scripted antics of the dumb poors so they can feel better about themselves. I think they're trying to cash out now because as Honey Boo Boo is getting older and stops being cute it's just getting more and more sad.

Reality tv has a really creepy brave new world hypnopedia thing in general going on. Half the shows are "I'm so glad I'm not a poor person" and half the shows are "I'm so glad I'm not a rich person" to show you truly you are in the proper place and you should neither help the poor nor aspire to the rich.

The last bastion of that weird, creepy minstrel show quasi-carnival sideshow media sort of thing is now poors/rural people/the South and that weird "hard workin'" genre they often ironically glorify like all the Dirty Jobs-ish copycats and the obsession with Alaska and diggin' and pickin' and oil and poo poo.

I'd totally forgotten about the Jumanji board game until I flipped through this. I remember as a kid being incredibly pissed off that it was not a cool wooden box like in the movie. I was willing to live without the rhino stampedes and homicidal monkeys, but goddamn this game was half-assed even to my incredibly low 9-year-old-kid standards. I wonder how much you could make off a proper remake of this game, like the super deluxe amazeballs versions of Monopoly and Scrabble and such (bonus points if they actually use LCDs in the center orb thing instead of cards).
