A few random thoughts inspired by that day’s Over the Hedge

Bang the Head Quickly

oh130522Here’s probably one of the best drum solos ever (from The Ventures version with Mel Taylor on drums):

Bad Has to Pee

oh130521I like the Bad Bunnies. They’re good for three or four strips per year. But they’re pretty much just one gag…

We’re bunnies. And we’re bad.

Up to the point where it conflicts our bunny-ness.

Over the Hedge: way over explaining itself since 1995.

Muskrat Hate

oh130520I think the most interesting detail of Muskrat Sam’s resume is that he played with Nirvana. It suggests he may have been a short-lived experimental replacement for Kurt Cobain. Perhaps the first of many bad ideas from Courtney Love.

This has been another MTV Speculative Fiction Rock History minute. Music Television with absolutely no music.

The Rainbow Connection

oh130519Kind of a small logic error with Verne watching TV outdoors in the rain.  Also, that appears to be the last tube TV left on Earth.  T needs to update his graphic reference folder and upgrade to Google images.

Of course, that would require him to stop living in 1992.

The Duck Stops Here

oh130518I’ve seen Duck Dynasty a couple times. It’s fun. Though it’s just a bunch of really smart, rich (and getting richer) good old boys playing along with the left and right coast’s southern hick stereotype.

Watch the swamp rats in the ZZ Top beards as they peer dumbfounded into the lens of fly-ver America’s inability to comprehend that a person can be smart, funny, wealthy and southern all at the same time.

The boys aren’t laughing with you. They’re laughing at you.

All the way to the bank.

They Got the Beet

oh130517Apologies. Puns are stupid, dumb, did I say stupid, the lowest form of wordplay, a sign of cartoonist desperation and the apocalypse.

But I’m beeting a dead horse.

oh130516The Itsy Bitsy spider suffers from OCD…

Obsessive Climbing Disorder.

While Michael Bay suffers from a different form of OCD…

Obsessive Crap Disorder.

Squeegiggle McGee on Triangle

oh130514No, Hammy will not be changing his name to Squeegiggle McGee. He will, however, continue to thrash a mean electric triangle.

Wearing oven mitts of course.

And properly grounded.

oh130513It is pretty good. Neil “the real” Gaiman liked it:  ”Funny and sweet with a steely centre.”

You might like it too!
