Sneak Peek of the Week of January 13th, 2013

I was doing some random google searches and that came up under “fat ninja.” We have a winner!

It will be a winning week at bmj2k.com too.
On Monday Allan Keyes looks at memes. Think The Fat Guy will show up? (Yes, he will.)
Tuesday through Thursday is a Smelly People Triple Play. Three days of Eddie antics with a brief Marvin Ming cameo.
Friday’s Imponderable is about testicles and an unlucky policeman.
Saturday’s Treasure Chest of Terrible toys inducts another Hall of Fame losing toy, and it is debatable if it is even a toy at all.

It’ll be a winning week, just like that guy at the top of the page, but much, much better.

Anyone else think he is trying to be a Ninja Turtle?

 

Picture Postcard: Pig Girl

No, this is not what you think. Pig Girl is the name of a 99 cent store in my area.

Pig Girl

The area is becoming heavily Asian and the store is run by Chinese people, so I am assuming that Pig Girl means that the woman who runs in the store was born in the Year of The Pig.

At least that is my hope.

I did not take that picture but I have to thank whoever did and put it online. Although I passed that store hundreds of times I never got around to taking a picture, and now it is closed. (Note the “going out of business” sign in the window.)

I wonder if it anything to do with the name?

Whenever I read the Pig Girl sign, I invariably think of the pig slaves created by the Daleks in the very disappointing Doctor Who episode The Daleks Take Manhattan.

So the moral of the story is that a funny name for your store might get it noticed, but fear of the Daleks may put it out of business, or something like that.
