[HAMR] Tarzan (Kurt Searvogel)

They still get popped in the toaster and create sugary lava. 

It is a fine art setting the toaster setting so that the outside is not burnt.  And then eating it with blowing actions to avoid your mouth re-enacting the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

[Wowbagger]

I thought a pop tart might be a lady of loose morals from the hit parade, m'lud.

".   Yes pop tarts are a specific name brand of crap food ;-)

IIRC Kellogs Pop Tarts sponsored the sprinter's jersey in the long defunct Kellogs Tour of Britain. Their version was for popping in the toaster as a breakfast food but was withdrawn after too many scaldings from the superheated jam filling. But that last bit may be an urban legend.

They got bad press because the little urchins put them in the microwave. The crust hardly warmed but the jam boiled.

[Mr Larrington]

Father Ted: Sister Assumpta, you know we really are only up for the basic booze, fags and rollerblading deal. I mean, the getting up early thing is great but- This is water.
Sister Assumpta: That's right.
Father Ted: ....Alright, alright, having a bit of a laugh with the big thickos from the island. Where's our real breakfast?
Father Dougal: Ted, I'd love a pop-tart.
Father Ted: Yes, Father Dougal likes his pop tarts first thing in the morning.
Sister Assumpta: I really don't think pop tarts have any place in our Lord's plan for the world.
Father Ted: I think they have as much a place as anything else. Maybe our Lord doesn't take a personal interest in them but I'm sure He delegates them to someone almost as important.
Father Dougal: What about....Frosties?
Father Ted: Again, same thing: He might not have come up with the idea but He'd be the one who'd give them the green light.
Father Dougal: Oh right. But if you take something like, say, Sugar Puffs, now or Lucky Charms-
Sister Assumpta: FATHERS, COULD YOU PLEASE- Could you please stop having that conversation, finish your breakfast and come outside for your daily punishment.

From Wonkypedia:

In 1992, Thomas Nangle sued Kellogg for damages after his Pop-Tart got stuck and caught fire in his toaster. The case gained wider notoriety when humor columnist Dave Barry wrote a column about starting a fire in his own toaster with Pop-Tarts.[9][10] In 1994, Texas A&M University Corpus Christi professor Patrick Michaud performed an experiment showing that, when left in the toaster too long, strawberry Pop-Tarts could produce flames over a foot high.[11] The discovery triggered a flurry of lawsuits. Since then, Pop-Tarts carry the warning: "Due to possible risk of fire, never leave your toasting appliance or microwave unattended."

I hope you guys enjoy the Simpsons.  The pop tart burning story reminded me of:

Dondelinger: Now i'm going to burn this donut to show you how many calories it has.
Homer: NOOOOOOOOOOO!
Dondelinger: The bright blue flame indicates this was a particularly sweet donut.
Homer: This is not happening!

Warning signs for the brainless.


For those who cannot read, it says "Not drinking water".

[Climberruss]

I think over there, a cycllist would need the 'Outdoor John'.

Of course, after a good curry, it may be a double john!

[hillbilly]

Tarzan fought bee.  Bee won.

[clarion]

Yeah, that eye looks very sore.

[geraldc]

Perhaps he should change his name from Tarzan to Quasimodo until the swelling subsides.

[mcshroom]

To be fair, we haven't seen the other guy bee

[Wowbagger]

It bled to death. That's what bees do when they leave their stings behind.

[BobScarle]

That eye does not look good, but Kurt appears in good spirits though.

[bryn]

He just passed Port Gibbon......oh sorry, Port Gibson.

I'm stil uneasy about footage taken by the driver of a moving vehicle.
Pretty sure you'd be at risk of prosecution in the UK

(Any facebook followers brave enough to ask Alicia about it?)

[SandyV]

She could easily have a head-mounted cam.

[Sea of vapours]

She could easily have a head-mounted cam.

Ummmmm...... in that case she'd definitively be staring at 90 degrees to the direction she's piloting the van ...... So that's fine then 

[TGS]

She needs my "Stevemobile"

I have to park to turn the camera on & off.

Just about here [at 21.13pm]
Hey! Where's the GoogleMapVan you USAians?...we can't make out the infinity of the road ahead - the quality of these images are not what we're used to! 

[Exit Stage Left]

I wouldn't mind doing a video sequence including the bridge at the top of the Natchez Trace.

[clarion]

Latest video shows a wrecked recumbent rear wheel, following its dangling off the rack on the freeway. :\

[Kim]

Oh no, that was the reliable bike!
