Hail the fuselageless airframe?
Our Current Topic just seems to show up everywhere...
WTF
Just when you think you've seen OR WRITTEN it all...
Just so you know
The search "nazi frosting potato" actually leads to something...
Haven't read this one...
...but it looks pretty important. Actually, at this site several biographies of National Lampoon writers and figures are reported as surfacing, but here's the intro to the writeup on the one that's out:
"A book about Doug Kenney, called "A Futile and Stupid Gesture: How Doug Kenney and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever," by Josh Karp, will be out in September. The book has been in the works for over three years. I am planning to do an interview with Josh about the book in the near future and will post it here. P.S.: You can pre-order the book from Amazon.com."
There were giants in those days (covert reference to a few gags in the Yearbook Parody, as well as accurate on its face).

Incessant Demand
I insist that one of you others on ClownCarBlog use this information as the basis for a rap single. Remember "Rock Me Amadeus", along with its inspired parody "Rockin' Jerry Lewis"? Where an event sequence is described before the first verse kicks in? How about an intro built around such pertinent historical matters as the Heisenberg uranium research program?
Neat-O, Spiffy Fallout Spread Calculator
Those fun-loving cads at the Federation of American Scientists have another popularity magnet for their site:
the Fallout Calculator. Here's their description -
"This java-based interactive calculator shows the distribution of fallout, by wind, from nuclear bomb blasts of various yields. The contours depict calculated radiation doses of 300, 25, and 1 REM at 96 hours after detonation.
In using the calculator, you may select from an assortment of virtual satellite maps of major world cities. You may select the magnitude (15, 30, or 45 miles per hour) and direction of the wind. You may choose from an assortment of yields ranging from 1 kiloton to 50 megatons. And, you may choose the location of the bomb blast on the map simply by clicking on the preferred location."
Just go to the link and party on, dude. The translucent footprint changes shape with selected blast intensity. And there's real-life relevance to the exercise, too. Guess the wrong ground zero and strength when constructing your shelter and you're toast! Cool!

The Occasional Non-Nazi Posting
It's a guy thing.
Every so often, the dyed-in-the-wool GUY has to engage in carpentry so as to express control over environment and nature. Specifically, he must exert control over high furniture prices.
I must build a hutch to place on top of a table. See, when there's no space anymore on the table, one must use the space between the table and the room's ceiling. Up we go.
Materials: A pack of 3/4" wood screws, a pack of 1" wood screws, 6 precut 4ft. 1x4's, pine or other cheap wood.
(particleboard top and 2x12 upright supports are already in my stock of scrap-to-reuse)
Tools: Borrow the drill and circular saw since I'm without good examples of either.
Paint: already have can of flat black (spray).
Plot: use maintenance barn at work.
Purpose: get computer CPU's off floor, plus provide a place for a printer and a scanner. This will encourage me to fix the printer and the scanner.

Clown Sighting
Rudi Lechner's was the site of an appearance by four suspicious persons last evening. Going by the names Wilhelm M. Gaines, Kleinschmidt Burkhalter, Eichmann von Stalag and Col. Wilhelm Klink, these individuals were there to avail themselves of the Wednesday night buffet. The restaurant patrons were bemused by poorly concealed Nazi jokes and other ethnic slurs from these four practically all night; the suspects however fled the premises prior to the arrival of a large black 1936 stretch Mercedes bearing six beefy, foreign-looking types wearing long leather coats, four of which were wearing eye patches.
Various wursts, potato dishes and cabbages were in full effect. A beef goulash was reported by Klink to have been absolutely fantastic. A long beer list was interrogated, and the evening closed with svein Strudelen.
A repeat performance is suspected for either November 8 (beer hall putsch), April 9th (Canaris execution) or June 29th (night of the long knives).
