| President Barack Obama using his computer to catch up on current events |
Forgive me, but before we dive head first into today's entry, I have to get all my regular readers up to date on some of the goings on here at jimmyfungus.com.
First of all, the video bar, or video reel whatchamacallit, was having some trouble loading up...so I had to delete it. Which is kind of a bummer, because I found it extremely useful (at least for MY purposes). But on the other hand, the layout looks much simpler now. I catch a lot of flack out there in the peanut gallery saying my site is too cluttered, and the layout is lame yada yada, what not, and all this, and that, and all of the other things. Those are the most common complaints I get, in fact. So, I think that everything is pretty straight forward now. But I suppose the complainers who like to fling their turds will continue to do so, about something. (Though those are not my regular readers, who are definitely the most awesome people who have ever lived.)
One more brief order of business directly about jimmyfungus.com... I made an advertisement for the site. Or maybe advertisement isn't the right word? How about "pro-jimmyfungus propaganda"? Anyway, I will post it below, and you may call it what you will...

| "my jimmies are ready" |
Last week, or some time (I don't know when), I came across this ingenious "rustled my jimmies" (SEE: "That Really Rustled My Jimmies": THE COMPLETE COLLECTION) meme on the internets, but I didn't save it. The reason I didn't save it, was because it had to do with 9/11, and it would be too "controversial" to ever speak of on my tame, non-offensive website. (Oh, ya know, I feel so good right now, because I just took a shower..I should really do that more often....and brush my teeth, come to think of it.) But then one night when I was out purchasing potato chips, or soap (I can't remember which), I came up with the idea for the special "controversial" post..and I was like, "OH DAMMIT!! WHY DIDN'T I JUST SAVE THAT 9/11 MEME WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE!"
So, I did the only cromulent thing a sane rational human would do. I went back to the message board where I saw it, and begged for someone to post it again. I also prayed, and asked God for divine intervention, that by some miracle the person who posted it originally was out there, and would see my request. As usual, God mocked my trivial, mildly blasphemous prayer, and I only received ridicule from the other site users.

The only 2 posts in response were both negative. The first responder, posted this "forever alone" cartoon face, which unfortunately I did not save. I think it was their way of saying that someone must have totally no life whatsoever to make such a pathetic request on an internet message board.
The second response I received to my query on the message board was even worse. This poster wrote, "You're not retarded. Why don't you just go make it yourself."
At first, I was greatly discouraged by all this, and started beating my chest bellowing, "WHY DO I EVEN TRY TO DO ANYTHING!!! SERIOUSLY!!! WHY DON'T I JUST GIVE UP!!!!" But...later that day, I started to think that the person who called me "retarded" was correct. I should just try to recreate the meme for myself. So...that's what I have done...

| the very controversial, but very poignant 9/11 "rustled my jimmies" meme |
But the 9/11 "jimmies" meme reminded me of another "rustled my jimmies" meme that I wouldn't post here on this site because...well... I didn't want to rustle anyone's jimmies. Normally, I shy away from posting provocative material here at jimmyfungus.com... But as I said before, today is the day we are throwing caution to the wind...

| Carly Rae Jepsen in "Call Me Maybe" |
There is no bigger hit in pop music right now than "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen, and it has inspired it's fair share of cover versions. Even ones by the aforementioned Cookie Monster, and the aforementioned Barack Obama!

But I would be journalistically remiss, if I did not tell you about a version by the Barry White of our time...the Issac Hayes of our generation... a Mr. Tay Zonday.
And last, but not least is today's "Song of the Day." Today's song is "The Magic Key" by One T. & Cool T.

The "gorilla forever alone" poster is not controversial. I hereby absolve of you of jimmy-rustling on that one, and my word is law on gorilla issues.
ReplyDeleteThe murdering Muppets issue is potentially controversial, especially if Kermit slaughters Miss Piggy and eats her rashers for breakfast. Miss Piggy is not the kind of girl who wants to be eaten.
I hear you gorillas like bacon.
DeleteI found the 9/11 one hilarious actually. It was really well done as well. So kudos really. But I can understand why you didn't want to post it, or you want to shy away from controversy, but not everything is as controversial as you think and you need to lighten up as much as your readers do.
ReplyDeleteThat is very true, Mark. I hearken back to what a young Dax Flame said, as he was trying to decide whether or not he should befriend Jacob. "Ya gotta take a chance. Sometimes."
DeleteNo video bar?! Damn! I use to love seeing my videos appear in them! (and I'd screen cap them too, so when I'm old, I can look back at them and remember the high times of my life!) but there is some good with the bad, at least the page takes less time to load!
ReplyDeleteRight on! Finally a site that deals with real issues! I need to learn more about not getting my cats eaten by satanists or kidnapped by zombies!... yeah thats the right way to say that.
Forever alone, funny how people on the internet assume everyone else is like them! But here we (you and I) are two guys creating stuff on the internet as others just sit and message eachother and accuse guys like us of being forever alone or homosexuals!
Forever alone gorilla?! frickin awesome!
I don't get the 9/11 rustle my jimmies picture.
Mr. Tay Zonday is an awesome singer!
(ps what is your real name?)
I like contriverial post! I hope you do more of them!
I'm sorry I had to get rid of the video bar. It was taking forever to load up, and nothing I tried was fixing the problem. It really kinda bummed me out, because it was very convenient for me just to come to my own site, and be able to see when Boxxy, or Dax Flame, or you had made a new video. Now, I am gonna have to do it the old fashioned way, and constantly check my e-mail!
DeleteI think the "rustle my jimmies" thing is just one of those deals where you either get it, or you don't. On the way riding home with my sloppy joe sandwich I had purchased with my hard earned money, I was thinking about what exactly is the definition of "rustling" one's "jimmies." The official definition given by the internets is so vague, it really could mean practically anything. YET I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS SOMEHOW. IS THAT FREAKY OR WHAT!!??
My real name actually is Jim. Though I would like to change it to something with a little more pizzaz,... like "Giacomo", or "Demosthenes."
Go with Demosthenes. ;)
DeleteHow about Stanisas, or Throckmorton?
DeleteDang, I never thought I'd live to see the day when someone said: "I am gonna have to do it the old fashioned way, and constantly check my e-mail!" Wow! I feel old! Wow!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean and it would take me eight paragraphs to explain it!
What ever you do don't change your name to Bersercules! That name is taken!
What about the name Agamemnon?
"Agamemnon"? Sounds like a Paul McCartney and Wings album
DeleteThose are some real winner on that message board!! I cracked up at the person who told you to make it yourself, only because it was insanely rude!! Hmph...forget the original meme and make a different meme instead to mock the jerk who said that to you!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's rude by our high standards, Jax. Perhaps if more people in the world read raviolisandwaterworks.com, people would be more informed on the proper ways to behave in polite society.
DeleteOk You made me laugh here. Seriously people get offended by what your writing or your format? Tell them to bite you. It's YOUR blog. As for Muppet killers... Not a fan but they are muppets so I'm thinking their evil muppet ways can be stunted fairly quickly.
ReplyDeleteNo worries. I didn't find one offensive thing on here today. If someone did they need to pull up their big boy/girl panties and read elsewhere.
No,no,no! They don't need to read elsewhere. Everyone on the internets needs to be right here at jimmyfungus.com, as much as humanly possible. Jimmyfungus.com needs to become the most influential website on the face of the earth!!
DeleteA Hitler gif! I love anything and everything Hitler.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I stopped listening to Mazzy Star for that crappy cover of a crappy song. My car radio doesn't work. I don't know why. Maybe because it's a German car, which makes it strange, dark, moody, and a lover of the silent treatment. Whatever. I thank it every day for that, because it means I will never listen to a girl sing about giving her number away. I do that all the time, but I have the decency not to sing about it. That would just torture people.
I hope you and Hitler are very happy together. Mazzy Star covered Carly Rae Jepsen?? I should blog about that. It is newsworthy.
