Fun With The Google Doodle AKA Is That Fred Sanford?

9 Feb

February 9, 2016

I am sorry to inform you, Dear Readers, that Allan Keyes has returned to the pages of The Tepid Ride, for apparently no other reason than to insult me. Letters of complaint should be addressed to Allan Keyes himself, as we disavow all knowledge of his activities.

Allan Keyes is back, baby! Now that Mr. Blog has lifted his restraining order, I am back to doing what I do best- improving Mr. Blog’s internet ranking. Just look at this chart I made up found on the internet:

Views of Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride when Allan Keyes does not post 13 views per month
Views of Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride when there is a new Allan Keyes masterpiece 1,068 views per minute

So Mr. Blog needs me, and if he knows what’s good for him he’ll keep those checks coming.

Anyway, when I am not pursuing my highly rewarding career as a master vintner, I can often be found on the internet, where I use my time productively googling things like old Moms Mabley performances on YouTube.

Google does a stupid picture (my God, I am not going to type “google doodle,” that’s just wrong) for pretty much any event, so according to google, Black History Month is just as important as the birthday of the guy who got a high score on Frogger. Now Allan Keyes is nothing if not loving and tolerant, unless you piss me off, so I have to stand up for Frederick Douglass.

This is the google doodle (ok, I did it) they used to honor Frederick Douglass:

Now I know as much about Black History as the next guy, as long as the next guy is also white, but I say that is not Frederick Douglass, it’s Redd Foxx.

And trust me, no one has done more for black history than Redd Foxx. Except maybe Frederick Douglass. And a lot of other people. But none of them have gotten away with saying this on network TV:

Ah, I love the 70’s. No one gave a crap back then. Tarzan movie, HA! Does laughing at that make me a racist? Uh oh.

But getting back to the point, whatever it was, it turns out that Redd Foxx is a dead ringer for Frederick Douglas

So to sum up:
– Allan Keyes is back
– Screw you Mr. Blog
– Frederick Douglass was born too soon to do standup in Las Vegas
– He also kinda looks like Moses in that doodle too
– Here’s the return of the Fat Guy Eating a Cheeseburger

Top 5 Lego Creations I found by Googling

11 Jan

January 11, 2014

The premise is pretty simple, so try to keep up, all you remedial readers in the New York City Council. (Which, by the way, has been proven to historically be a total waste of taxpayers money. Unless you think renaming streets in honor of dead graffiti artists is worth a six-figure salary for part-time work.)

I typed the word “Lego” into Google. Nothing else, no description, just “Lego.” I then picked my five favorite Lego creations from the first page. No More, no less. And although these are the Top Five, these aren’t in order. These are just the five coolest things I found.

NUMBER ONE

Lego 1 Tiger

NUMBER TWO

This one happens to be my favorite painting- The Scream by Edvard Munch.

Lego 2 Scream

NUMBER THREE

This was actually used to fill in a crack in a public wall in Poland.

Lego 3 Street

NUMBER FOUR

This one speaks for itself… in the language of Awesome!

Lego 4 SW

NUMBER FIVE

Lego 5 Anatomy Man
