Watched a couple of episodes of MXC today, can’t believe that show actually exists. It would never get produced in the US, thank heaven for those wacky Japanese.
Speaking of wacky Japanese, my bumper sticker from CafePress arrived last night. The maroon color was nowhere near the car color, so I used an xacto knife and cut out the kanji letters and stuck them on the front small section of the side sills, one set on each side. From my limited (read none) understanding of Japanese kanji one simple character stands for emperor, but it is mostly used to mean the Emperor of Japan. The second symbol represents sovereign, so the combination means sovereign emperor, or The Emperor. Now that I’ve gone to all the trouble I’m not sure it is going to stay on the car. The tan is a tad too bright for the basically dark sided automobile. I may remake the sticker with black characters which should be a little more subtle. I’ll have to get a picture of the car with the tan letters on there first, so I can add it to my Hall of Shame along with the Japanese license plate.
Flan: “It’s in the can.”
Vic: “Next is Flan Peters. He developed the aromatherapy product ‘Zoo in a Can’.”
Kenny: “Yeah, I’ve got ‘Monkey Enclosure’.”
Vic: “Good for you and it looks like he’s got a pretty good run going.”
Kenny: “He’s into a full San Quentin.” (Flan is straddling two timbers with his butt in the air)
Vic: “Right you are. Oh he’s stepping up there … Oh. There he’s into a defrocked bishop. (Flan is straddling two timbers with his butt in the air again.) And I think he might be trying for a dirty nurse. Yes. Oh he can’t quite pull it off.”
Kenny: “Not everyone can do a dirty nurse.”
Vic: “Right you are Ken. And… Flan cannot. It’s over for him.”

Jenne and I love MXC and have been watching it for well over a year. A friend of ours turns my recordings into DVDs for us, so we can watch our favorite episode over and over. By the way, there is a contestant named Baba Ganoush in every episode. We laugh so damn hard at this show and now when Jenne says something to me I reply with, “Right you are Jenn!”
They use lots of sexual ineundo and slang on that show. Have a notebook handy and then hit urbanslang.com to get the meanings of it all. It makes the show even more amusing!
Half the fun is listening for the double-entendres, but you have to be quick, those guys talk fast.
Between how fast they talk and all the laughing we do we miss alot. So do you have any favorite games? Our faves are, Sinkers & Floaters, Log Drop, Boulder Dash, and Rotating Surfboard of Death.
My absolute favorite is the Rotating Surfboard, that is always good for some extreme wipeouts. On the one I saw on Saturday there was one that looked like a giant pachinko machine, but I’m not sure what it is called. You knock a ball into the machine and then run down stairs to try and catch it in a bucket not knowing where it will come off the edge. There was one guy who did a face plant so incredible I was surprised that he didn’t stand straight up with his head buried in the muck like a lawn dart.
