Meatloaf, meatloaf, double beatloaf!

The other night I watched a pretty decent documentary on the Montreal punk scene called MTL PUNK: The First Wave. It was pretty good. You should check it out if you’re into that sort of thing. And during the commercials I also saw this.




Talk about a bonus feature! Here is what we have learned in just 2 minutes:

- There are people out there that can’t cook meatloaf.

Actually that doesn’t surprise me.

- There are people out there that have paid $40 for a meatloaf pan.

- Billy Mays is back from the dead and he’s bald!

And if he’s anything like Jason from Friday the 13th his future reincarnations are only going to get worse.

- This meatloaf pan is so amazing you don’t even need oven mitts!

- There are people out there that make themed meatloafs.

I wonder how that meatloaf recipe book is laid out.

Geographically?

Chinese meatloaf anyone?

Italian?

Or how about a California cheeseburger?

Maybe they’ve got a section for special occasions.

Handy for Halloween.

And Christmas. (Santa says Billy gets the chedder stump end piece this year.)

Birthdays.

Prom night.

And if you’re Polynesian…

Happy Fattening Day son.

I bet there’s something in there that even Randy would like.

How about an inflatable meatloaf Randy?

 

Wow! Whoopy! A Zeppelin!

Annnnnnnnd I'm done.

What do we want?! Crispy pepperoni on a good kaiser delivered to a house without Christmas lights by a guy who's not riding a unicycle in bare feet.

It’s pretty crazy what’s going on in Egypt right now.

All these demonstrators flooding the streets, demanding that their President Mubarak step down. They’re lucky that the bald guy from The Mummy Returns isn’t still in power. Seen what that guy could do when he was cheesed at someone?

What do I think of democracy? I think it bloooows. Muh, ha, ha, ha, ha!

But democracy is a good thing and it is worth fighting for. If we didn’t have democracy around here I’d protest for sure. But we do (for the most part). So if I want to protest, I’m going to have to come up with something a little less serious than democratic reform. Something that symbolizes the erosion of society as I see it…

Johnny Creepshow’s 5 things I’m cheesed about and willing to take it to the streets.

1) The Pepperoni on Pizza’s.

I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before but it’s a big deal to me. Pizza is everyone’s favorite food. (If it’s not yours, you’re an idiot.) When I was a kid, all the pizza’s had nice crispy pepperoni on top. Like this:

See the way they have that dark ring and how they curl in and become concaved? At worst you would sometimes get a little grease pool in the middle. But that was only if you ordered from somewhere disgusting like Gino’s. And you could always soak it up with a napkin.

Now if you order a pepperoni pizza around here it shows up with these big, floppy undercooked pepperonis that look like they’d be better suited hidden under the cigarette burned, neon bikini tops of the Tuesday afternoon shift at Filmore's

They might as well be delivering giant Lunchables!

File Photo: Fucking Gross.

There are a lot of pizza places out there and I imagine that it’s a pretty cut-throat business. If I got enough people to take to the streets and demand the return of old school crispy pepperoni, they would have to accommodate our demands.

2) People on Unicycles.

What do you think of when you think of unicycles?

Clowns, yes.

Those poor performing circus bears, also correct.

Mentally connecting unicycles to deep rooted psychological fears and inhumanity is normal. It means you’re an average, healthy citizen. But there is a small group of urban attention whores that feel the need to ride unicycles around the city.

This needs to stop. Unicycles serve no productive purpose aside from promoting jheep-riddled stupidity. We need to take to the streets and wrestle these one wheeled dunce mobiles out from under the undeveloped sweaty crotches of these Look at me! fuck wits.

Possible Celebrity Spokesmen:

He never would have won 7 consecutive Tour Du France’s or poured the pork to Sheryl Crow if he rode a unicycle.

Steve-O

He was a former circus performer who I’m sure could enlighten people with his story of how riding unicycles caused him to spiral into drug addiction and insanity.

3) Kaiser Buns.

Why do kaiser buns suck now? It used to be that you could walk into almost any grocery a store and pick up a half dozen good kaiser buns. They were crusty and flakey on the outside and soft on the inside and they had that smattering of flower on the bottom.

Today’s kaiser buns have a singular definition of either too hard or too soft and they’re too small. It used to be that you could lose a burger in a kaiser bun. Now you get to the last third of the burger and there’s no bun left.

Pitiful.

And those egg pinheads at NASA? Instead of figuring out what went wrong with our kaisers over the years they’re trying to figure out how to make food last for 60 years in space so they can send it on ahead of the astronauts!

Just send up Happy Meals. That shit lasts forever.



Or better yet, give them these:

File Photo: Fucking grosser.

It’s high time some of us bun loving hot heads went down to Cape Canaveral and tore down some of those big radars and things and let them know what they really should be working on. Better kaiser buns!

If only so he could perform his Rye or the Kaiser song while we protest.

4) People that still have their Christmas lights up.

Maybe it’s still a little early for me to start seething about this one but don’t worry. Come April when they’re still up, my rage will be justified. For the love of the new born baby Jesus who’s miracle birth you seem to need to celebrate by covering your house in illuminations TAKE DOWN YOUR GOD DAMN CHRISTMAS LIGHTS ALREADY!!!!

Come April,that’s gonna be me on your house and its coming down the chimney.

Ok, maybe you’ve been busy. Maybe you’ve been out there working hard to pay off those great gifts you got the kids for Christmas.

Or maybe you slipped on the rotted remnants of last year’s jack o lantern and threw your back out.

Maybe you even suffered some sort of scaring psychological tragedy one Christmas many years ago that causes you to live every day like it’s Christmas.

Or you just died alone on Christmas and no one has discovered your body yet.

Ok if you’re insane or dead, my bad, carry on. But otherwise, there’s no excuse. Even if you don’t take them down you don’t have to fucking turn them on every night. Take them down or me and my mob of angry axe handle wielding cromags will take them down for you.

Possible Placard Slogans:

Take back the light!

String them down or we’ll string you up.

Christmas was 4 months ago.

Clark loves Christmas but he’s a traditional guy. There’s no way he’d leave his lights up and on after the holidays are over.

Moth Man

Moths are attracted to lights. Maybe if the inconsiderate home owners knew that their Christmas lights could attract a terrifying half man half moth that foretells disasters they might be inclined to turn them off.

5) Pedicure Salons.

These revolting dungeons with their window displayed podiatry horror shows are springing up faster than the mushrooms between their customer’s toes.

It’s getting to the point where I’m reluctant to glance in a shop window for fear of seeing yet another row of haggard looking women ankle deep in those fungus filled troughs while little Asian ladies crouch below them and go to work shaving layers of dermatological hell off their feet with a cheese greater.

I don’t like seeing anyone’s feet. I don’t even really like my own feet. We need to take to the streets on this. If we can’t stop them from opening more pedicure salons we can at least keep them from opening them on streets with restaurants or at the very least make them put up a curtain. Because you know what they’re gonna put in those places next?

Fish pedicures.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Ask the Magic Internet a Stupid Question No. 0014

It’s been a while since I’ve gotten a black eye.

It’s probably because I look like this:

And I walk around carrying this:

But I do get bruised from time to time and one thing I’ve never bothered to do is to try and put meat on it. You know, that old timey comic/TV/movie thing where the boxer/housewife gets a black eye and then puts a steak on it?

Yeah that. I’ve never tried that. First of all it’s gross. I don’t like handling raw meat never mind putting it on my face. Secondly, who just has steaks lying around all the time? I buy steaks maybe once a month. And if I buy a steak I’m going to eat it! I don’t have a fridge full of steaks to throw away. Who am I, Uncle Ricoh?



I’ve only ever seen someone put a steak on their eye in real life once. It was this guy I knoew that found out that his girlfriend was cheating on him. When he confronted her about it she broke up with him and moved out. Later on he got drunk and tried to pick a fight with her new boyfriend at a bar. The new boyfriend beat him up and gave him a black eye. He never said if the steak helped his eye or not. He just said that he was drunk and that he couldn’t wait to eat the steak later. He also said, Never let your girlfriend convince you to throw out your bed when you move in together.

But do you think it helps? Do you think raw steak has some sort of healing properties? There’s only one way to find out.

Question 14: Does putting raw steak on a bruise help it heal?

Whoop. Whoop. Whoop. Whoop. Zip. Bop. Wrrrrrrrrrrrr. Sizzle. Ding!

Magic Internet Answer: No, Johnny. Applying a raw steak to bruised skin will in no way help it to heal more rapidly. IN fact it could make the injury much worse. Raw meat can be covered in harmful bacteria. Introducing all that bacteria to an open wound or a mucus membrane (i.e. your eye) could cause a serious infection.

File Photo: Gross Serious Infection

What someone has probably experienced when they claim to have had positive results from applying raw beef to an injury is the cold temperature of the meat helping to bring down the swelling. However reduction in inflammation can also be obtained with the use of an ice pack or even a frozen steak wrapped in plastic. The results will most likely be better than those obtained by raw meat.

Thanks Magic Internet. Now to thank you for your loyal answer to this stupid question and for potentially saving me from a barf inducing gross eye, I’d like to present you with this machine crafted high resolution plastic statue of Uncle Rico in his famous Steak Throw pose.

Thank you Johnny. I fear I may tear up here and short circuit. Time to power down. Good nighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
