American Chopper returns on September 3rd but I’ll be kicking off the American Chopper Weekly Rundowns this week, in its usual Tuesday slot. And as you’ll see, they’ve dropped the Senior vs. Junior and gone back to the orignal name, American Chopper. It gives me a chance to begin reintegrating the original banner. I always liked it anyway, it’s more colorful.

What does this mean to the schedule? The summer run of Tuesday Classic Reposts has to move. Here is the new Fall Schedule.

MONDAY

Allan Keyes is staying chained to his desk and Monday will remain the domain of Fun With Teh Internets.

TUESDAY

WEDNESDAY

The Classic Repost becomes a floating feature generally appearing on Wednesdays but watch out! It might pop up at any time. Or not at all.

THURSDAY

The daily dose of the absurdities of this absurd world that you’ve come to love.

FRIDAY

The Friday Imponderable stays put.

SATURDAY

SUNDAY

Sunday remains Sneak Peek of the Week

And don’t forget the other recurring features, like the Late Night Movie House of Crap, Picture Postcard, and the Tepid Zombie. They can show up anytime.

I originally posted this in 2010 but it is a perennial on this site. Not a day goes by that this post does not get any views. I have posted just under 1,000 blogs and this one is, month in and month out, one of the most viewed.

from December 28, 2010

Wonder Woman, Lois Lane. Jimmy Olsen. As we’ve seen, Superman has a pretty diverse circle of friends. One is an Amazonian princess who rides a skateboard. Another is a woman who locks her head in a safe, and the third is some sort of hybrid monkey boy.

Next up is the world-famous crime-fighter, Batman. Oh, in this era he wasn’t exactly the  Dark Knight we all know now. Back in the 1940’s and 50’s Batman tended to be a bit, um goofy. And possibly a repressed homosexual. In the panels reprinted below, the Joker, upset that Gotham City laughed at his boner, decides to get Batman to pull his own boner and thus, well, maybe you should just read for yourself.

This story exists on the net mostly as single panels. A few are missing, mostly ones that don’t use the word “boner.” I’ve put them together as best I can. So here we go, back to the glory days of comic books, where every kid dreamed of reading about a big boner.

And there you go. The Joker pulled his boner, Batman pulled his boner, I bet even Robin went off and pulled his boner somewhere off panel, probably while looking at that volume of “Great Boners of All Time” Bruce Wayne keeps in his library. God only knows what Aunt Harriet thought when she saw that one!

But the fun isn’t over yet. Here is an absolutely real Batman water gun. Note the plug and the trigger.

Here is something else I found on the net. I’d give credit where credit is due but I have no idea who made this. Good thing that Batman didn’t have this problem in that Joker caper!

And lastly, not Bat-related but still funny, from the good people at Wrestlecrap:
