) to help our users cope with "trolls" and other commenters whom they find annoying. Go to our
1) A 1993 Archie McPhee catalog with someone’s handwriting on every page. An individual obviously obsessed with the punching nun puppet.
2) A half-built Moebius brand 1/4105 Scale Model of the Galactica from the 1978 Battlestar Galactica television series.
A longtime BG fan in the past who had the good fortune to meet Mr. Greene had him autograph a Big Boy’s Restaurant menu.
It’s included with the model.
In black marker: “Eat your heart out, Basehart! Ha ha ha ha!- Lorne”
The other half of the Galactica – the loose pieces that are still present – have had an entire tube of model glue dripped all over them, forming a multi-tiered polystyrene amoeba. Clearly a sign of fan meltdown.
3) A malformed KTMA beer koozie™.
If you try to put a canned cold beverage in it, it WILL rip down the side.
It says KTMA on the side in garish yellow letters and has a picture of a TV antenna tower emitting broadcast wave circles. (A total RKO logo ripoff.)
The foam body is bluish green. No rips.
Yet.
But it is malformed, as aforementioned.
A very, very unhappy meal. Well, except for Greene taunting Basehart on a Big Boy’s menu. That’s pretty cool.
Crap, forgot to include the actual food:
Overly salted fried frog legs wrapped in a miniature Peruvian flag.
Entre: Guy’s heart from Cave Dwellers
Desert: There was no desert.
Prize: Torgo doll with detachable manos.
Activity: Maze following path of the sandstorm (The Unhappy Meal “Deep Hurting” package)
– Two and a half 6-day-old chicken McNuggets w/tartar sauce
– Child-size Four Loko
– Peter Graves “inaction” figure
– Winning lottery ticket (from 8 years ago)
– unfileted fish sandwich with extra eyes
– “Voyage Through the Large Intestine” educational game
– gummy worms (not to be confused with Gummi Worms)
– burnt cork “makeup kit”
My UnHappy meal would include:
A GI Joe figure missing his arms & legs that comes with a copy of the lyrics to “One.”
To promote THE FINAL SACRIFICE:
Food!!! found on the floor of Mike Pipper’s hideaway, seasoned with Satoris’ mouth spittle
A bad can of Canadian bacon
Larry Csonka black licorice mustache
10W30 in a “Zap & Troy” commemorative flask
And of course, a Ziox branding iron for the kiddos.
Main course: Moose lip omelete
Drink: Bluecheese coke slurpee
Treat: Snickers bar dipped in honey mustard
Toy: The Paperchase Guy action figure with complete with annoying talking motorcycle
This is a great topic:
For the meal I’ll go with
Coffee from any Coleman Francis movie
A meat sandwich from Dutch’s cafe.( on the beltway!)
Flavofibs from Overdrawn at the Memory Bank.
And for your prize:
A doctor Carlo Lombardi talking doll!
McChicken Tartare and a Limited Edition, Game-Worn, Lena Dunham Action Tampon.
A roll of Tyvek. Tight.
One bag of peppercorns found afloat during Exxon Valdez cleanup. Intact; sea-burned.
One can of cranberry sauce, expiration date NOV1988. Solid.
One plastic/foam Vulcan ear prosthetic from Johnson Smith Catalog. Sticky tape missing. Nice.
One unopened miniature bottle of vodka marked Braniff International Airways. Mandatory.
Want a real life Unhappy Meal? The Asian fast food chain Lotteria once featured a Chocolate and Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken Burger as a Valentine’s Day special. While I’m willing to try a lot of oddball concoctions, combining chocolate and honey mustard is just too gross to contemplate.
