Something old, something new, something plastic…

The groomsmen helped Ken keep stay calm; the bridesmaids were just so swell with Barbie, and the wedding of Ken and Barbie was just perfect.

And someone got photographs. A really lot of photographs. Here’s one:

Ken and Barbie wedding day

From here.

•  Yeah, pretty soon Ken and Barbie will settle down and get a nice house in the…Pooper Scooper Barbie! (That’s all we really needed to say, isnt’ it?)

The 1.75 Millionth Anniversary of the Collar

ON this day , January 31, 1.75 million years ago, Uh was standing on a stone outcrop overlooking what would later become the city of Newark, New Jersey. A chill passed through him.

A prehistoric swamp rat the size of two dachshunds tied together end-to-end ambled by. Uh pierced the beast with his special pointy stick (arf!), skinned it in one quick squeak, quickly made some string from its intestines, and sewed the fur to the neckline of his opossum-skin shirt. Cozy, thought Uh.

Uh made his way back to the cave. There, the people looked at his fancy new clothing accessory, and said, “Uh?”

And Uh was pleased.

That’s the story of the invention of the collar. Since that time the collar has gone through a lot of changes, and we thought it would be a good day to celebrate some of those change. Well, actually, that’s a lie. We just wanted what passed for a good reason to show you this picture, and we couldn’t think of one. So here you go:

Fish-head Collar

We don’t know. Whatever the question is, We don’t know.

The Corpse Hotel

Where to go when you’re dead tired:

The Lastel Hotel can host up to 18 recently-deceased guests at a time in refrigerated caskets. The nightly rate runs about $160. This is no gussied-up city morgue, mind you. The Lastel offers hearse and funeral services, viewing rooms for family, as well as sells a variety of caskets and urns. It’s all very convenient, were you alive to appreciate it.

There’s even video, with Japanese subtitles (that might be saying “Ha ha! You Americans actually believe this!? Ha ha!”)

*************

For some other corpsey stories, please turn to page 195 and “Bodies in Motion” in our latest “Big john”— Uncle John’s 24-KARAT-GOLD Bathroom Reader.
