Ready for the Bust in the Economy By Bill Bonner 02/05/10 Baltimore, Maryland – Here’s a cartoon sent by one of our dear readers. We have readers all over the world. But Pamela must be one of the most remote. She lives on a tiny island in the middle of the Pacific. We’ve seen the photos. It looks stunningly beautiful. A South Pacific paradise. It’s a little surprising that someone...

We've had our bull market. It took the Dow from under 1,000 to over 14,000 in the space of 26 years. We've had a bubble too. The party was a lot of fun for everyone.

So last night I made my way to Pakhuis Wilhelmina, a funky former warehouse turned live music venue in Amsterdam to see what turned out to be a surprisingly excellent Dutch Ramones tribute band. (Click the photo to enlarge.) While...

Found at the Zeray Gazette , where there are three other takeoffs, plus the original sketch by Abbott and Costello.

One more from Ruthann. It's been around for a bit but still good for a laugh. She actually sent it last night but I held off posting it until this morning. Don't want her to think I'm totally dependent upon her emails. ;-) Besides, by delaying this post, I got to locate and post "Who's On First" before this one showed up. You have to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello, and not...

Regardless of what Punxsutawney Phil decreed this morning, spring is in the air. At least in Florida and Arizona where major league pitchers and catchers will be reporting next week for spring training. In honor of the beginning of the rites of spring, I present: One of the THE greatest comedy routine of all time! Abbott and Costello were recognized by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum...

Happy Birthday, Steve Skeates! (Yeah, I know, I'm two days late, but it's the thought that counts, right') As all good Groove-ophiles know, Steve Skeates is one of Ol' Groove's favorite comicbook writers. From Lightning to Dr. Graves to Abbott and Costello to Aquaman to Teen Titans to The Mummy to Captain Fear and everything in-between, I dig Skeates' snazzy storytelling. But my absolute favorite Skeates...

Shaker H2 sent me this awesomely hilarious video of a Lost fan named Mike from Long Island who wrangled his extended Italian family "to help him recreate key moments of the series." Definite spoiler warning if you're not up-to-date through the end of Season 5 yet. [I don't even know how I'd begin to transcribe this video in a way that makes any kind of sense—it would be a lot of "middle-aged...

Now, this is where Wavy Gravy would have a field day… All these Baby Boomers raiding the County cookie jar, trying to figure out who’s on first (apologies to the Abbott and Costello), and throwing around ole’ tomatoes (more apologies to Amos ‘n’ Andy), looking like the Three Stooges, driving around drunk at 2 in the [...]

MMOs and questing have become inseparable, much like breakfast and bacon or Abbott and Costello . Since World of Warcraft popularized the "questing exclamation point," MMOs have since embraced the concept and have utilized it in one way or another ever since. Today's question is an interesting one, as we want to know what you guys think of quests. Do you think MMOs should be more reliant...

Well before Broken Social Scene, Toronto birthed its most formidable indie collective: The Kids in the Hall. A staple of Hogtown’s emerging alt-comedy scene of the ‘80s and CBC and Comedy Network airwaves in the ‘90s, the Kids are back with Death Comes to Town , an eight-part mini-series airing on the CBC. To mark the Kids’ triumphant return to Canadian TV, Torontoist is interviewing...

I’ve never seen this clip before, but it’s one of the best Abbott and Costello bits I’ve ever seen, probably because most of the humor is coming from the other characters who show up. Hat tip to a comment over at Climate Audit. ..bruce w..

Quick, who's the best team in the Pac-10? Bueller? We don't blame you. The Pacific 10 conference is a joke right now. Unfortunately the pollsters aren't laughing. AP voters decided they'd had enough this week, snubbing the Pac-10 for the first time since late February 1987: "(The conference is) turning into an Abbott and Costello skit of double entendre, exploding cigars and backside falls down...

Beavis and Butt-head was first aired on the U.S. cable network MTV in March 1993. This show, which combined animation and music videos, was an example of the unique programming that MTV has consistently provided for its youthful demographics.
