David Blaine’s Blog Spectacular – A Clarification
We at I, Splotchy regret a miscommunication which occurred between ourselves and David Blaine, in regards to the ongoing David Blaine’s Blog Spectacular.
Apparently, Mr. Blaine was under the impression that for the entire duration of the Spectacular he was not only required to maintain his presence on a 1 inch square of this blog, but he was also required to remain underwater.
Mr. Blaine is certainly welcome to emerge from the water, provided he stays within the box we have provided for him.
I, Splotchy regrets the error in communication.
The Anti-Lolcat
I enjoy the lolcat phenomenon just as I’m sure many of you do, but I figure at least one cat in the world wouldn’t.

Law And Order — Ripped From Today’s Headlines
Would anyone be surprised if, in Hollywood at this very minute, a writer for Law And Order was cranking out an episode about a college student getting tasered to death?
So Disgusting, So Delicious
Doctor Monkey Von Monkerstein has been of late posting some very lovely cooking posts.
I’ve been a l’il inspired by him, as I so often am.
I’d like to share a little recipe that I made up all by myself when I was a youngun. I haven’t actually made this dish (if you can call it that) in probably twenty-five years or more.
Those of you with young children might want to teach this trick to them. Hey, forget the kids, this is a treat for children of all ages.
Warning: This post contains potentially disgusting pictures. I assure you that nothing unsavory was done in the making of this post. And the ingredients only consist of M&M’s and water.
You will need: M&M’s and a paper cup full of water
Pour the M&M’s into the water.
Wait.
At a certain point, the water gets saturated with M&M detritus, so you must empty the water out and refill with fresh stuff. My wife grudgingly looked at these pictures shortly before I uploaded them. She asked me, “What do you do with the water?” I replied, “You drink it, of course.”
Immediately after refilling the cup with water, it turned this murky green color.
Empty the water again, to reveal the delicious milk chocolate remaining.
Bon Appetit!
More Fun With Google!
The Internet is a huge swamp of information. Google is like a poking stick you lower into the swamp, attempting to bring forth the nasty, squirmy things you’re searching for.
It’s always interesting when someone comes my way through the use of a Google search.
Here’s an exercise you may have fun doing. Supply some Google searches where your blog comes at the *very* top of the list.
Here’s ten of mine.
squirrel spit paralysis
green monkey stevie nicks
meaningless cherry
youdude.com
cockroach rabbit carcass
cat mushroom goose poo
ringdinging
zombie finger dexterity
magic tainted adult-oriented bodybuilder
pretzel choking gravitas
UPDATE!
Matty Boy did this exercise over at his neck of the woods, giving it an excellent name: “Google Likes Me Best”. Give it a try, why don’tcha?
The Monkey Awakens For Volume Six
Okay, the green monkey what lives in my brain has had sufficient rest. I have urged him to take it a little easier, not lift anything heavy, etc.
I am proud to announce Volume 6 of the Green Monkey Music Project – Can’t Wait For Halloween.
All the songs must have some tenuous connection to Halloween, or things of a spooky nature. I’m going to allow up to seven people to join in this time, for a total participant count (including me) of eight.
The number of songs that someone can contribute will depend on how many people participate. That being said, participants will be able to contribute five songs no matter what.
I’ll be starting off the mix this time. Here is my song list (which might expand if we get less than eight people playing).
01 – Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Red Right Hand
02 – Echo and the Bunnymen – The Yo Yo Man
03 – Roky Erickson – Creature With The Atom Brain
04 – Pink Floyd – Lucifer Sam
05 – Flaming Lips – Ice Drummer
I’m reserving one slot for Lulu because she asked so nicely.
The rest of you, please sign up via a comment on this post. You don’t haveta provide your songs yet if you don’t want to, just say you’re interested in joining.
Happy Early Halloween!
UPDATE!
We have our nine(!) participants signed up!
Splotchy!
The Idea Of Progress!
Frank Sirmarco!
Chris!
Lulu!
Barbara!
Manx!
Matty Boy!
Dale!
If Lulu opts to not take part in this mix, I’ll reopen her slot, so to speak. To anyone who may have asked ahead of time to be in the mix, my apologies for not holding a spot for you — I didn’t want to have to go hunting through the comments in my archives.I guess I’m still working out the kinks (or is that The Kinks?).
Since we have a full number of participants in this mix, I ask that you choose no more than five songs for your selections.
For those who haven’t played before, simply leave a comment on this post, indicating the artist and song title of your selections. I’ll attempt to obtain the tracks from my magical jukebox. If I have difficulty getting a song, I’ll ask you to send me a copy. There’s a good chance I’ll be able to find whatever songs you pick.
Thanks to everyone for signing up!
