Flush Man!

Is he a super-plumber? A man with the proportionate strength and speed of a toilet? Some sort of alien-toilet hybrid? No my friends, no, he is none of those things. He is …

The Flash!

It seems that down in South America The Flash is known as Flush Man. Really! He is!

I don’t know how that translates, and I don’t care. I could google it but why ruin the funny? FLUSH MAN!

The only problem is, they have it wrong. THIS is FLUSH MAN:

Dan Dan the City Wide Man

Dan Dan the City Wide Man

I’m… FLUSH MAN!

Really, I can’t enough. So in that spirit, I present to you the Dan Dan the City Wide Man commercial that aired all over the place on Long Island a few years ago. Seriously (I mean this, seriously) the jingle was so catchy I’d catch myself singing it all the time.

He’s smart!
He’s neat!
He’s fast!
He’s economical!

The only problem is, if you go to the website today, there are a bunch of other City Wide Dudes, but no Dan. I think the JLA kicked him out.

Spirited local discourse, intriguing intellectual debate, crack cocaine recipes, movie reviews, public access telev-

CRACK COCAINE RECIPES? Yes, that’s what I said. Read on, pals.

Imponderable Chef

The cable show “Yo Mama” was all set to air an episode where the “Chef de Cocaine” would tell viewers how to make their own crack. And before you ask, no, they do not pre-screen their shows on public access.

How did they expect to get away with that?
The question is Imponderable.

So what do you think about it, Rick James?
