There’s been too many people “put on mold.”

Call Any Vegetable – Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.

It will make good compost for growing electronic stuff.

Note that the pens are tilted AWAY from the stench of the rotting phone.

Waiting for the Rotary Club to get up in arms about this one.

Cartoons that make you go “Eww!”

One of Dali’s lesser-known works?

“Mr. Watson come here, I want you!”

The Fisher-Price “Garbage Pail Kids” CEO play set was a bust.
