Message to
The Onion — the
Simpsons writers called. They want their
Comic Book Guy schtick back. I'm assessing ten points for the blatant ripoff, returning five for turning up a real-life dead ringer for the cartoon character. So you're still in the running for the House Cup.
That said, all this might explain the Sea Captain lookalike — complete with black-billed white hat, blue sailor's jacket, and frothy white beard — that several of us saw driving up I-71 toward Cleveland last weekend in a Buick LeSabre. We had no clue what that was all about at the time (my best guess: he was on his way to audition for Shakira's upcoming "Wreck of the
Edmund Fitzgerald" video), but now I'm figuring the guy was driving to an
Onion photo shoot.
Oh, and because I haven't said it before, blasting from the past is
pBump.net.
