Warehouse Roulette – Leaky Banana!
May 17, 2012 5:30 am




The crack pattern on the side reminds me of the Yodeling Climber game on The Price is Right. Can’t you see the little guy climbing up the side? Next up, a can of name brand pinto beans. Argh.. I didn’t study the beans. I always buy store brand. Shoot… ummm… how much are they? They can’t be more than a dollar, or are they? I only have $.75 before the climber falls off the side. Bob’s giving the stink eye to hurry up. oh oh oh… what to do, what to do…. $1.15! Yo-de-lay yo-de-lay yo-de-lay… urp. He stopped! Hallelujah! Next up… Fixodent denture glue. What the… damnit…
The climber guy game is actually one of my favorite games. The other game I always liked was the putting game. It was one of the few times Bob would play the game and show off his skillz (since he “never misses a put”). One of the most annoying is Plinko. It’s just too random (ironic, eh?). It’s like playing a pull tab lottery ticket. It’s fun to do, but you know you’re not really going to win anything. Sure you have to have a little clue in really big bucket to win the Plinko chips, but really, it’s not that hard… Next up is the Mixalot Toaster. It toasts bread and makes a lot of smoke when you do it wrong. Does the price start with a nine or end with a four? It’s always good TV to hem and haw and look to the audience to add some drama… but, unless the toaster mixes me a drink and washes the dog, I’m going with the four on this one Bob. After winning the chips, you might as well put them all in the same spot since they’ll bounce around and end up in different places. It is fun to watch the chip bounce down board tho. What kind of pegs do they have in the board to make that cool plink plink plink sound as it goes down?
So after loosing the cliff hanger game because I don’t know what fake teeth glue costs, it’s time to spin the big wheel. I go back and forth on what strategy to use spinning the big wheel. It can’t be too heavy since Bob can spin it one handed and it must have really good bearings to go all the way around when the little old lady spins it. Is it better to try to spin it around only once and land on the dollar the first time, then try to rip it off the wall the seconds time just to get more air time? Or is better to try to rip it off the wall the first time then try to land on whatever number is needed to be closest to a dollar the second time? I could even under-spin it the first time just to get a feel for the wheel, then get two real spins. Can you tell I watched too much Price is Right growing up? I miss Bob. Drew does a good job, but Bob is The Price is Right.

The mug has a hole in the bottom. It’s a round hole plugged with a plug. It’s probably used to hold the mug while it’s dipped in glaze, but it looks like some of the gaze leaks into the inside of the mug. I’ve never noticed that before. Leaking glaze into the hole has the nice side benefit of smoothing out the rough edges around the hole. It also makes the inside layer of the mug look very extra phallic. It looks like {edit edit edit}. Well, it’s not too hard to figure out what it looks like. I’d say ask Google, but you probably shouldn’t, especially with the filter off. I think the leaky banana part of the mug is going on my shelf next to my obscene Artist Series diaper. Such filth!

I love this one
Okay, I admit I skimmed a bit on this one. BUT don’t stop writing, Jimmy! You are funny and its great to read your thoughts. For some clarity, maybe if you made shorter paragraphs, that would promote readability. BUT, I am just a former middle school teacher, so what do I know?
I do wish you could share a photo of the obscene artist series diaper. I am going to scour ours today when I do the laundry!
When I draw a BG 4, I’ll post a pic of infamous diaper. 🙂
I’ll work on the paragraphs too. I get carried away going dow the rabbit hole.
Wonderful. You’re so funny, and what a pretty snake!
Wow! Such a beautifully random post to wake up and feast my eyes on. Glad I drank several cups of coffee!
I think the mug has a hole in the bottom so that it doesn’t explode during “firing”. Double-wall mug+trapped air=pottery explodes. Cool, huh?
Ah, you’re probably right. I thought it was for preventing the dishwasher heat and moisture from causing the cup to explode.
