The Space-A-Mazing 2024 Flash Gordon New Year’s Meme… From Space! (Amazing!)

30 Dec

December 30, 2023

It’s that time of year again when The Editors and Staff of Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride (our motto: We Watch Too Many Bad Old Movies) once again prove that they are totally out of it and stopped being culturally relevant in 1979. (Is The Donna Reed Show still a cultural touchstone? What about My Mother The Car? All the hep kids must still dig Jerry Van Dyke.)

For an unrequested (and if we are being honest, unwelcome) fifth year in a row, to the delight of someone, somewhere, we think, maybe, we present the Annual Official Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride Flash Gordon New Year’s Meme… FROM SPACE!*

* Remember: Accept only officially authorized Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride Flash Gordon New Year’s Memes… FROM SPACE! Official Space Blog merch coming soon.

Did you miss any of our previous Annual Official Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride Flash Gordon New Year’s Memes… FROM SPACE!? Do you really care if you did? If you have nothing better to do, here, courtesy of a grant from your local PBS station, are the previous Annual Official yada yada yada that’s a lot to type FROM SPACE!

Picture Postcard: Professor Apple Dog

3 Nov

November 3, 2018

Remember kids! Professor Apple Dog says, “an apple a day will keep the veterinarian away.” We here at Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride hear that goes for doctors as well.

 

I saw this life-sized (life-sized if the dog were a man, that is) sculpture in an office building lobby in lower Manhattan. There was no explanation and no artist credited. I think it speaks for itself. It’s an anthropomorphic dog holding a giant apple. Simple!

And if you like talking animals, check out our own Pierre D. Duck over on Facebook.
