He’s the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider’s touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don’t go in!

Actually, there’s some good vetting on this one, apparently
One of the funniest comment threads here that I remember was on a similar Last Call, but all the comments disappeared following the Great Commenting System Switch.

“Curses! Foiled Again!”
That was my contribution to that old thread, I remember it because it was the first time anything I commented got more than 5 or 6 green thumbs, and yeah, it did go on for a while on that thread.
Looks like we can write Disqus comments on those old threads… I wonder if Weekend Hooniverse should include re-posts of crap we lost all the comments from? There were plenty of posts that were a blast back then. It could be the “Ran When Parked” of blog posts.
That feature is already available to Hooniverse Gold subscribers.
The top comment that I remember went something like:
“Rappers put this stuff on. Unrappers take it off.”

Someone’s in a Golden State!
He looks miserable but Blanche, Dorothy, Rose and Sophia are sleeping better tonight than they have in years.

I’m glad somebody did. That’s the funniest thing I’ll say allall week
I’m old, don’t follow gawker.com, and from another continent – context, anyone?
(I am aware of the Valhalla connection, though:)

The mug shot: Just some guy who huffed some gold paint, probably
The Golden State: He’s wearing a Golden State Warriors Tee Shirt (Basketball, California)
Blanche, Dorothy, Rose and Sophia: Characters on a SitCom called “Golden Girls”
Thanks – I’m old enough so I got the Golden Girls reference, but I’m too vanilla to know that huffing paint like that is an actual activity… *shudder*
Come out and playyyy!
I found my old Dakota!
(I don’t particularly want it back though…)
When I wrecked, a tow truck from Moorhead responded. I was happy to see it was that company since they’d done a proper job of towing my Thunderbird to a shop when it was immobilized by a failed ball joint some years ago, so I didn’t think much about it. Unfortunately, the tow company had a power my insurance company didn’t: moving wrecks across state lines. Instead of bringing the Dakota a few miles back across the river to a total loss evaluation place in Fargo, my insurance had to haul it all the way down to Saint Paul.
Just out of morbid curiosity I’ve been checking salvage auction listings for 2005 Dakotas every so often, and I found a very familiar looking blue one with a Hooniverse sticker still shown in the rear window. I figured from the background of the images it’d be somewhere with more interesting surface topography, but it turns out it’s been brought all the way back to Fargo. I’m glad I didn’t have to pay the ~500 miles’ worth of unnecessary towing…

A couple of years ago I had an accident in my Mazda3.. The insurance company assumed it would be totalled and had it towed from Columbus to their claims center in Dayton. Then, when it wasn’t totalled, they had to tow it back again to the body shop. Probably about half the miles your truck went, but silly nonetheless.
The new presidential limo, I assume.
Showered with gold.
Zing!

You should see the interior!
Pretty splashy, I bet.
You wouldn’t expect inner values to count much here, would you.
The Interior has been ordered not to post pictures of itself.
It’s an older photo. A few years on, it’s still a-peeling.
