Frank and Ernest by Thaves for August 24, 2010

Now THIS is a combo that truly strikes terror.

Barney scares me more than Clyde.

He needed to be riddled!

How did Barney escape the hail of FBI bullets? Is it too late to try again?

Barney is Satan and there’s mathematical proof:

1) Start with Barney’s mark, his tag line, the phrase ”CUTE PURPLE DINOSAUR”.

2) Convert to Latin spelling by replacing the U’s with V’s (the Latin alphabet doesn’t have U only V). Result: “CVTE PVRPLE DINOSAVR”.

3) Extract all letters that are used for Roman numerals (again it’s a Latin thing). Result: “CV V L DI V “.

4) Convert these to modern numerals: C=100, V=5, L=50, D=500, I=1. Result: 100+5+5+50+500+1+5=666.

5) 666=The mark of Satan. QED.

:)

boy am I glad I didn’t take latin in HS.

If Barny is the Devil - what’s Fred?

Lol reading this as Vermillion Lies’ “Bonnie and Clyde” are playing…nice.

Barney is actually a newly discovered species: Pretendosaurus barneyi, according to this erudite paper.

I’m also glad they never made “Smurf’s Up!”

I liked “Barney in Jurassic Park” better. I can still hear the theme song in my head:

“I love you…FOR DINNER!”

I quit donating to KCET when they replaced Doctor Who with Barney. Play the reruns again. He’s a time lord, who cares what century it is?

@Magasek And How exactly did you find out about this, shall we say, stunning, revelation? @ChukLitl They did??? I loved Doctor Who! Although what time slot was this that they could replace a timetraveler show with a little kids’ show?

I had such a belly laugh at that I almost dropped my netbook. That’s a keeper.

Early Saturday. First they moved the Doctor from 1PM to 8AM. They peaked in ‘87. Coincidence?

@Jason, I read it somewhere about a decade ago, when Barney first hit the big time. I can’t remember where, but it’s the kind of thing that sticks with you. At the time, I was working on a project that had a terribly written engineering specification that we had to follow held in a 4 inch thick 3-ring binder. We hated it so much we started refering to it as a Satanic Bible. After I saw the above proof, I cut out a picture of Barney and glued it to the front of the binder.

@Chuk, You go man! No one replaces Dr. Who…least of all Barney.
