General Kang is somewhat worried about this “Ask the Fruitcake Lady” segment on the Tonite Show. Then there’s this Family Guy clip. Yucky. (And funny.)

The Carnival of Satire (#73)
We have a supportive Carnival of Satire for you this week, filled with great posts that, unlike the old Sears underwear ad at left, does not airbrush out the naughty bits. Enjoy!
Alejna presents some hilarious punctuation advice to a would-be kidnapper in: more note-writing tips from Ms. Mismanners.
Speaking of punctuation, take a deep breath, and go have a look at this explanation of the Right-Wing Conspiracy Theory Thing posted at The Vanity Press, thanks to Ahistoricality for finding it. Next time send oxygen, commas and semi-colons too!
polliwog asked Bobbarama a pertinent question about why men prefer Briefs versus boxers. General Kang has also weighed in on this important question.
The Skwib has always been an equal opportunity offender, and Madeleine Begun Kane helps keep it that way with pithy poetry: Keeping Abreast Of Bras.
John Wesley is Brainstorming Ways to Get Attention Online.
Plebian has unlocked the The Mother Goose Code. This teaser will give you a sense of what you’ll find there:
Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater: This bleak poem discusses how vegetarian Adolf Hitler held an entire world hostage to his mad whims with the imagery of a man forcing his unwilling wife to live in a pumpkin..

Bobble to PJ for getting me to waste 15 minutes.
Professor Quippy: Mr. Floppy goes to engineering school
I’m not sure how to react to the research by Daniel Udelson, a research urologist and professor of aerospace engineering at Boston University. On the one hand, erectile dysfunction (ED) is a serious problem and can have devastating effects, so getting to the root of the problem is to be applauded. (I guess that’s the sound of one hand clapping.)
He is using a 200-year-old engineering formula to predict when a gent’s apparatus might be likely to collapse under structural stress, so to speak.
On the other hand, I’m not to sure that I’d ever like to participate in his work myself, particularly after I read this description of the treatment the research subjects were treated to:
Udelson tested the model against 57 men with erectile dysfunction. Each was measured by slowly injecting their penises with saline solution until erect. Udelson then applied a force to the tip of the penis until it started to bend, the first sign of buckling.
The good news is that “buckling” can also be predicted by the shape of the “tunnel”. So, where one “passageway” might cause “column” collapse, others may prove a better fit, so to speak.
And that’s the sound of two hands clapping. Clapping, you naughty reader!
