This app should have used a bongo instead of a cat

The kitty is awfully cute, though.

That cute babby better try to avoid stiff cross winds, or it'll go airborne and end up as a balloon in the Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Bongo Fury!

(obscure Zappa/Beefheart reference)

Stanta Knows's avatar

Saw project object tour a couple years back (2018) with Napoleon Murphy Brock and Denny Walley - they did the Bongo Fury album. My friends and I were the only oldsters in the audience who had ever seen Zappa or Beefheart live. Great show.

Ear he is!

There was a song from the 1940's called "Civilization" made famous by Danny Kaye and The Andrews Sisters that begins with "Bongo,bongo,bongo I don't want to leave the Congo". I always thought it to be of questionable taste, even though it was meant to be a funny take on modern life. To my surprise it turned up on a recent episode of the "Fallout" TV series.

It's been in the games for a looong time.

They are "a bit" brutal, so it fits in that context.

Still pretty funny. “They have things like the atom bomb/so I’ll stay where I aam.”

Well a bong can get you going, so bongo works.

ElderlyLoudCatWomyn's avatar

Those ears!

I would name that bongo Oingo Boingo, so he could be Oingo Boingo Bongo, and then I would annoy everyone around me by bouncing up and down while repeating the name until someone rightfully hit me with a folding chair or large straw broom.

Consider it done.

Well said, storm leader.

LOL - yesterday on Butterfly Hill, there was a meme going around to explain your @. Mine is Mhael, which I explained thusly:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Explain your @ :

Ohhhhh boy. We're doing this, huh?

Well, the short answer is, M'Hael (or sometimes the M'Hael) is a character from a book series, and is what I chose for my username on LiveJournal in 2003.

Now... so long as we leave it RIGHT THERE, that's all anyone needs to know...

Danny Kaye & the Andrews Sisters, "Civilization (Bongo Bongo Bongo)"

(definitely a non-PC song by today's standards)

Martini Glambassador's avatar

My dad used to sing that to me when I was a kid.

Black Asparagus's avatar

And it's in the Fallout games series soundtrack.

Not a PC game, prezactly (I mean it IS a PC game, but wasn't talking about the platform it runs on).

JCfromNC's avatar

Fallout is where I heard it first. Three? Four? Whichever one that came out prior to New Vegas.

Black Asparagus's avatar

Yep. It was Three Dog from Galaxy News Radio broadcasting it from DC in Fallout 3.

Black Asparagus's avatar

It definitely was in New Vegas. I'll have to check if it was in 3, but most probably yes.

Is a baby bongo a little drummer boy?

TootsStansbury 🇺🇦's avatar

Baby bongo plays bingo at the bing-bong disco.

“Illegal hunting” because some assholes have to have that beautiful creature’s head on their wall because they’re fucking ghouls.

Littorally Speaking's avatar

Probably the “bush meat” market too, unfortunately; or because ignorant people think the ground up horn is “medicinal”.

Is the MAGA pastor suggesting that Barack Obama has done something concerning his Presidential Library that no white President in history has ever done?

Rage-baiting Josh Hokit is still up for a fight after he called former first lady Michelle Obama a man while celebrating his UFC victory at the White House.

“Strong and Courageous!!” the obnoxious heavyweight began. “The only two reasons I joined this sport. If you exercise those every single day and back them up with hard work, the money and success will follow. I’m not here to be liked. I’m not here to be a role model. I don’t care. I’m here to succeed. I’ll do whatever it takes to get where I want to go, and if you don’t like it…Come beat me in a fight.”

The fifth-ranked heavyweight contender in UFC has stuck his foot in his mouth on multiple occasions. He called a Black fighter a “human gorilla,” said he’s “100% transphobic,” and wished he could report his mother, who is Mexican, to ICE.

that looks like a right side stroke. Not that i am a doc or something

OrdinaryJoe's avatar

Trump and Beebee lost the war. They put their countries at risk for nothing except to keep themselves out of jail and rich.

Now bring on the Epstein Files.

re sunnyside up eggs.

How about poached?

Slip egg into a glass ramekin containing enough water to cover

microwave 45 sec (ymmv)

lift out of ramekin

CzechJournalists's avatar

i stumped my mother once when i asked for Humpty Dumpty eggs. she asked what i meant, so li'l me trotted back to my room to retrieve the illustrated Mother Goose book and pointed out what i wanted. Humpty Dumpty eggs are sunny-side up.

Tessie's avatar

Could one prepare pemmican in a ramekin?

OrdinaryJoe's avatar

"Know how Donald Trump is always saying America was dying before he was president, and now it’s hot?"

I think he means the house is about to be engulfed in flames hot.

When I was about six years old, I was fascinated by animals and nature.

Among the animals I discovered from my nature books and TV shows was the antelope.

Several years later, I discovered a particular girl's name, and looking at the spelling, I deduced that it was pronounced, "Penny-lope".

Alpaca22's avatar

I have a despised cousin with this name and I have always called her Penny-lope to her immense annoyance

Tessie's avatar

Does everyone have a girl cousin who they can't stand?

Mine was a "Mary Sue" before the expression existed. She brought rice to a potluck and everybody made such a stink out of it, you'd think she brought a pound of caviar.

She was informally referred to as "Rice" for at least a decade after that.

I saw that as a gif elsewhere. He's asleep on his feet.

I am not even trying to be sarcastic here -- he looks like he is literally having a stroke *during the handshake*.

HuffPost: "A federal judge has temporarily blocked Idaho from enforcing one the nation’s most punitive laws banning transgender people from public restrooms. Earlier this year, Republican Gov. Brad Little signed a law that threatens transgender people with up to five years in prison for using a bathroom consistent with their gender identity in both government-owned and private businesses.

The law, H.B. 752, was set to go into effect on July 1, but today’s ruling protects trans people’s access to restrooms in the state while legal proceedings continue. In April, a group of six transgender Idahoans challenged the law, alleging that it could open the door to arrest or harassment every time they need to use the bathroom in public, or cause them to avoid restrooms altogether."

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

Malicious compliance. Fill those men's rooms with transgender women. Just make sure they all carry mace or firearms, because they will be attacked.

And all the transgender men in the women's rest room is really going to get those good Republican women going. Hope they enjoy washing their hands next to a lumberjack.

Iran and Israel must be closer.

"President Trump signaled on Tuesday that the war in Ukraine was not a priority for the United States, telling reporters at the Group of 7 summit in France that his country had “nothing to do” with a war that was “thousands of miles away.”"

While Iran is even farther away.

Fucking idiot.

I just got woken up by a phone call--a survey about my pharmacy that I can't use because suddenly I have co-pays for all my prescriptions.

I'm so broke that I can't even afford bus fare, let alone anything I actually need. And my phone bill will be late this month. Hooray.

I just wish my dreams weren't so messed up. Like, I dreamed my brother and his wife had twins, and I was volunteered to be the live-in nanny. Or the other dream where I hopped dimensions to escape a cult, only to be confronted by about a hundred kids with magical powers out for my blood. And this is what I dream without being under any influence.
