Today on the Dairy: IHOP, toast and aliens!

WTF IHOP?!

Before last week, this commercial would have deeply disturbed me. But since then, allegations of the C.I.A. lacing the bread of a French village with LSD have come to light and well, anything is possible. Who knows what IHOP has been slipping into the pancake batter to make us associate their food with this trippy helium mess. Whatever it is, it's obviously keeping them in business.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to take my bundle of balloons to the balloon mechanic to get inspected. Hopefully I won't have to pay for any balloon repairs or slow motion circus music fees.

Thanks, Curt!

 

Trolololo Challenge - Singer Responds!

Ladies and gentlemen, things are about to get really interesting. Eduard Khil, the singer of the bizarreness known as Trolololo, has responded to his world wide fame with one simple request: lyrics. That's right, folks. You write the lyrics and he'll sing them. This may be the greatest thing that has ever happened to us.

Now I'm assuming there's some kind of direction or information here, but my knowledge of Russian stops at "vodka". Oh well, we'll just have to keep an eye on this upcoming event, shall we?

H'what's The Buzz?

Thanks, Holly. Hey Holly. Thanks. Thanks for joining us, Holly. Thanks again, Holly. Thank you so much, Holly.

...Poor Holly Hunter. But you have to give her some credit. She's obviously very skilled at what she does because she carried that entire interview by herself. I mean, being interviewed by a rotating fan with a mustache taped to it while being sprayed with pepper juice would be less uncomfortable. And really, who besides Stewie pronounces "what" as "h'what"? Say "Cool Whip" again, Merry Miller. If that's really your name...

 

Typefaces As Dog Breeds

Does that make Comic Sans a Golden Retriever and Zaphino an Italian Greyhound?

Mario Pixelated Toast!

I've seen this done with the likes of cupcakes, but toast? I'm impressed and I never thought I could be impressed by toast! But look all that shading, the evenness of the burnt crisp. It's...beautiful. I hope the maker of this toasty Mario enjoyed many sandwiches as his/her reward.

What To Do If You're The First Human To Make Alien Contact

I've definitely thought about aliens before and the possibility of coming face to face with one, but I never really thought what my next step would be from there. That could be a problem. Lucky for all of us, this dandy list of how to handle "the most important moment in all of human history" could probably keep us and the rest of the human rest out of some serious trouble.

What do you do? To put it simply:

• Stay still. You can't outrun these fools.
• Find a medium to communicate through. You can't speak alien.
• Use math to prove that we're mildly intelligent too. They get science, not Shakespearean literature.
• Show them you know what space is. Simple drawings should have helped you this far.
• Show humility. They can really mess us up.
• Hope for the best, even though you'll probably die.

Make sure you don't screw it up if you ever become the chosen one and read the full run down here. As simple as it may all seen, you're still probably not as smooth as you think you are. Study. The rest of us Earth inhabitants don't want to be annihilated because of your attitude.

Much thanks to Robert who has our existence in his best interest!
