Friday Afternoon Random Question (3/6/09)

Since everyone could probably use a little levity while holding onto their hats or, unfortunately, trying to find a new rack for said hat, here’s a classic:

Would you eat the moon if it were made of barbecued spare ribs?

It’s a simple question, doctor.

  1. Only if it was dry rub ribs from Rendezvous in Memphis. There is no substitute.

  2. Yes, I would, but on one condition: they’d need to serve it at the Porch. Thanks, Tristan!

  3. HEY! What’s your favorite planet?? Mine’s the SUN…

    @ 2:31 pm on March 6, 2009
  4. As long as the Man on the Moon was there help me lick my fingers. Thanks Zac much needed laugh for the day!

  5. If you were a hot dog, and you were starving, would you eat yourself?

  6. First I’d have to get there. Would it be an all-u-can-eat?

    If it was that mustardy/vinegary sauce, I’d be pissed (even though I’m a tarheel by birth), but I’d eat it after the long trip, I suppose.

  7. Then I’d wash it down with an ice cold budweiser!

  8. A.B. — My cousin in Leonardo, NJ, tried that. Broke his neck.

  9. Put me down for the moon ribs with a side of Saturn’s onion rings. Of course, there is a Uranus joke here, but I’ll leave that for someone else.

  10. If the moon was made of spare ribs I think Obama would call for a federal program to get the spare ribs and feed to poor people and then …. oh heck, that’s too much politics even for me! It’s going to to be a no-politics-drink-way-too-much-then-play-hockey weekend.

    Cubs win! Cubs win! Cubs win!

  11. Are those Eastern European or Western Eurpoean Spare Ribs?

    @ 3:09 pm on March 6, 2009
  12. @ PR: Thanks for tapping the brakes. It is appreciated.

    @ 3:17 pm on March 6, 2009
  13. That’s a guy video. ;)

    Here’s one for the girls!

  14. Dry rub from Memphis? I prefer Bubb-Rubb from Oakland. Woot-Woot!!

    @ 3:20 pm on March 6, 2009
  15. At the risk of Herr Tim deleting, I got my first dry rub in Memphis.

    @ 3:27 pm on March 6, 2009
  16. Tim was there and you were putting him at risk of “deleting”?

    Mondo weirdo.

    @ 3:40 pm on March 6, 2009
  17. This is all very sophisticated.

    @ 3:59 pm on March 6, 2009
  18. Any way you could make that video not automatically play when we open the page. It’s gonna get old next week.

    @ 4:08 pm on March 6, 2009
  19. Daniel, you don’t ask, I won’t tell.

    @ 4:11 pm on March 6, 2009
  20. First you’d have to nuke it. Nuke the Moon, then I’d eat it.

    @ 4:37 pm on March 6, 2009
  21. Spare ribs? No. Short ribs? YES.

    @ 4:44 pm on March 6, 2009
  22. Agree with R. If you guys don’t shut off the auto play I’m going to take a break from the site for a few weeks, really annoying!

    @ 6:44 pm on March 6, 2009
  23. @R and shrinkwrap: I know. That was the only place I could find it and it didn’t have an option to kill the autoplay. If I can’t figure it out — and, spoiler alert, I probably will not be able to — I’ll either kill the video or throw up a bunch of posts to move it to the next page. Sorry. Bothers me, too.

    UPDATE: Well, I’ll be damned. I fixed it.

    @ 8:32 pm on March 6, 2009
  24. Not the moon, but a dinosaur: yum! Charbroiled dinosaur smothered in gravy, side of curly fries; I’d call it the dinosaur special.

    @ 8:48 pm on March 6, 2009
  25. @ Whiskey.

    They supposed to be up cookin’ breakfast.

    @ 9:03 pm on March 6, 2009
  26. @Zac

    Well, I’ll be damned. You didn’t.

    @ 1:00 pm on March 7, 2009
  27. @ WRE: It’s not on auto play anymore. Not for me. What did I screw up? I don’t know. Maybe it’s a cookies issue. Or try reloading the browser. Not an IT guy, so that’s the best I can offer.

    @ 2:05 pm on March 7, 2009
  28. @ Zac,

    Sorry, the condition remains, despite clearing cookies and files.

    Anyone else still having this problem, or have an idea how to cure (besides muting)? Great skit, but only the first two times.

    @ 4:18 pm on March 7, 2009
  29. Click on pause.

    @ 9:20 am on March 8, 2009
  30. Only if they are my step-mom’s ribs. No one else can compare.
