So I’m making dinner the other day — hot dogs on the grill. Yeah, I’m just that kind of house husband.
So I pull out the buns, lay them out for the three of us, and what do I see?

Look carefully… over on the bun on the right… could it be?
Yes! It’s Plankton!

And there I was thinking these were going to be regular old (well, low-fat) hot dogs. Obviously, they were really crabby patties.
And FWIW, I wound up eating the bun with Mr. Krabs’ nemesis on it. Hmmmm, monomaniacal cyclopic copepod goodness.

Time for the Bad Astronomer to go into a quiet room and get a grip on himself. That is so obvoiusly a sign from “Frank” (Donnie Darko) “Wanna get a beer”?

What? You didn’t try to sell it on ebay to people who see Spongebob Squarepants as a religious figure?
July 21st, 2008 at 10:44 am
Looks like Arthur from The Tick to me. Or maybe Jesus.

It’s good to know I’m not the only adult who still watches cartoons.

Hey Phil, let’s put up a photoshop contest, puttin all of our weirdest cartoon figures on those good old buns is fun!

“Sponge Bob Buns” Amazing. But isn’t that Squidward on the left most bun?
July 21st, 2008 at 11:02 am
It’s a frackin’ hotdog bun!
July 21st, 2008 at 11:04 am
To me it looks like the Yves Saint Laurent logo:

If they were really Krabby Patties, they wouldn’t have Plankton on them. The presence of Plankton indicates that they are an inferior imitation, probably poisonous, possibly deadly.

By “grill” I assume you mean your George Foreman grill, not an actual manly grill.

F is for fire that burns down the whole town
U is for uranium bomb
N is for no survivors when you….

“If they were really Krabby Patties, they wouldn’t have Plankton on them. The presence of Plankton indicates that they are an inferior imitation, probably poisonous, possibly deadly.”
I agree. Does this mean that the BA gets his buns from the Chum Bucket?
July 21st, 2008 at 11:29 am
Gross! I think you are delusional there, plankton don’t grow on hotdog buns, they require seawater or pondscum.
July 21st, 2008 at 11:31 am
It’s obviously Humpty Dumpty wearing a rabbit ears antenna (before the fall).
July 21st, 2008 at 11:32 am
Wow, that does look a bit like Squidward on the left one. How’d I miss that?
July 21st, 2008 at 11:46 am
:BA
Too bad you didn’t take a picture of the other side of the buns. I bet you would have found Patrick on the middle one. But, we’ll never know now.
July 21st, 2008 at 12:05 pm
So SpongeBob is in cahoots with the bun people… I knew it!
July 21st, 2008 at 12:06 pm
well that’s what you get for buying your buns from the Chum Bucket
July 21st, 2008 at 12:32 pm
I am saddened by how much I can see what you mean…. Not too much Nickelodeon playing at my house, either. I kind of see Aang inside his bubble of air, shooting fire in four directions.
July 21st, 2008 at 12:58 pm
I, for one, welcome our new plankton overlords.
July 21st, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Additional kudos for properly identifying Plankton as a copepod. Nicely done.

When I saw it I thought it looked like the sticker people put on their cars of a little dude peeing on a Ford/Chevy/whatever. Because of the crease in the bun strategically placed.
July 21st, 2008 at 2:36 pm
I think the BA should change from gas to some other kind of grill.
July 21st, 2008 at 2:37 pm
Daphne of Scooby Doo fame?
ZOINKS!
July 21st, 2008 at 2:53 pm
And all this time all I’ve checked for is the green weener. I must have eaten an awfull lot of cartoon ideas. I’m off to the garden with the camera, who knows what imaginary friends are awaiting me.
July 21st, 2008 at 3:33 pm
You could retire on what that would fetch on ebay!
July 21st, 2008 at 5:35 pm
BA: When you said “monomaniacal cyclopic copecod goodness” did you mean “copepod” rather than “copecod”? Copepods are fascinating creatures. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copepod for an introduction.
July 21st, 2008 at 5:54 pm
oops! That was a typo. Fixed, thanks!
July 21st, 2008 at 7:04 pm
Tyler Durden – That’s what I thought too. Or was that just me thinking I was you thinking that?
July 21st, 2008 at 8:39 pm
Yes but did you know that hot dog buns, with practice, could stand on their ends during the spring equinox?
July 21st, 2008 at 9:24 pm
I think it looks like Leonardo Da Vinci
July 22nd, 2008 at 7:37 am
Here’s one for the creationist to explain… how do they (denizens of the deep) manage to splash water in Goo Lagoon since it’s all at the bottom of the sea? And, where does Sandy the Squirrel get her air? Do Scriptures even cover this? BTW, I know Scriptures don’t address many of the question really important in life.

Pop:
As anyone who has seen The Simpsons Movie could have told you.
July 22nd, 2008 at 9:43 am
I don’t know Phil. I think you are seeing things. If you look carefully at the center, there is obviously a globe of Earth showing the American continents. Now, all that other stuff on top and under the globe looks similar to that sword you used to see going through Earth in the Star Trek episode, Mirror Mirror. That’s what it is. You have a bun from the alternate universe, accidentally sent back in time by a time warp that Kirk messed up again. Better watch out. The bearded Spock will not be happy when he learns you ate his Earth food. LOL
July 22nd, 2008 at 9:44 am
obviously FSM
July 22nd, 2008 at 11:34 am
Yes but… can you beat that?
