Do you remember Mr. Yuk? I do, but I forgot just how scary the commercials were until I saw this circa 1971 Mr. Yuk commercial (YouTube video).

Profanity Adventures
Profanity Adventures reminds me of when I used to play text games on the ZX81, Commodore 64, and IBM… 🙂
There’s a lot of websites dedicated to 8 bit gaming about. Some have shots from the game complete screens, whilst others have maps, cheats and interviews with grown men who at one point felt fit to use their mathematical expertise in order to make a worm simulator. I felt, however, that there was one thing which (as far as I’m aware) has never been celebrated…. swearing on text adventures. I typed in swear words into as many games on the Spectrum 48k as i could find, and below are the ones which understood – which a pleasing amount did… as, let’s face it, the authors knew that most people would try it at some point when they’d gotten frustrated with the distinct lack of fun on offer.
3D Stereogram
3D Stereogram allows you to make a sketch and then converts it into a stereogram. Pretty neat…
Pole Position

Celebimals
Gallery of the Absurd’s Celebimals series is awesome, as are most of the other caricatures and illustrations on the site.
The poor little barefoot Britneyroo (careerisoverum) is worn down and burdened from always having to lug the Freeloading Federline Lizard (paraciticus wannabeus africus reptilia) around in her pouch. The Lizard sits back, cracks open a 40 ouncer, and daydreams about one day becoming a big rap star. He never has to lift a finger to do anything other than keep the Britneyroo knocked up. What a life the slimy little Lizard has.
Jump In My Car
I am compelled to post the new music video from David Hasselhoff Jump In My Car (Google Video) simply because I feel that others must view this horrific cheesiness for themselves.
Stars And Stripes Forever: On Trombones!
Altough I’m a little late for the 4th Of July, check out this YouTube video in which “4 amazing trombone players play Stars and Stripes Forever”. Very impressive.
