Happy Birthday to a pair of the coolest dudes on the planet!!!

Published at:  Sep 21, 1999 2:13:28 PM CDT



Hey there, hi there, ho there folksarinos... Harry here and there. I just felt like designing up some sort of image to wish Stephen King and Chuck Jones both a happy birthday. I wonder... Which one of these two have sent the most people into therapy? Hmmmmm..... Which one has killed the most imaginary characters? Hmmmmm.... Are they actually separate people? Born on the same day? Coincedink? I think not. There is something otherworldly going on here. Look to the stars... The aliens drop off new cool people this day ever few decades. Which means there are two other sick and wonderfully insane geniuses out there yet to be discovered that share this birthday. Hmmmmmm.... We must seek them out!



By the way... I haven't slept in over 28 hours.... hee hee... I'm feeling goofy. Well, Happy 87th and 52nd you coolest of the cool two!

    I'm scared

    by ionesco

    I don't know what's scarier. Harry's creation, or the last couple of posts. Harry's Bugscarrie is scarier than anything King ever wrote, and funnier than any Jones cartoon.

    Murray too?

    by sorcerer

    So- a writer of ghost stories, a maker of cartoons (or animated comedies), and a comedy actor who was in a movie also about ghosts...

    The coincidences just keep piling on...

    But wait, there's more...

    by nafl

    B-I-L-L-M-U-R-R-A-Y = 10 letters.
    C-H-U-C-K-J-O-N-E-S = 10 letters. S-T-E-P-H-E-N-K-I-N-G = er...11 letters. BUT, if it was "steven" they would ALL have TEN letters. A-HA! ...AND...it all adds up to 31...what's today? 22/9/99. 2+2+9+9+9=...31! I blame the FBI and the CIA and NORAD and the KGB and...and...the other ones, too. It's obviously a sign of the coming apocalypse.

    by shagrat

    For all of you Tolkies out there, tomorrow is Bilbo and Frodo Baggins' birthday. They should make it a worldwide holiday and have awesome fireworks every year on September 22nd. That would be cool.

    oy vey!

    by loki trickster

    Wow, the Talkback's on this belong in a crackwhore mental asylum...y'all are fucking nuts! But it's great to hear that the man who gave me the most entertainment through my youth, and the man who's been entertaining me since my youth (started and finished "Hearts in Atlantis" yesterday...now when the fuck is Dark Tower 5 going to come out) have their b'days on the same day. It's gotta be ka. As Al Pacino might say: "Hooha!" Now pass me over some of that John Daniels so we can start celebrating...or at least so the rest of you can catch up. -Loki

    Coincidence

    the birthday boys

    by "english please"

    i think harry should but bill murray's bloodied head erupting from inside the bunny creatures body. then it would all make sense. well everything except for the fact that the sum of the numerical equivalents of alphabet charaters of the boys' names does not equal 666, or more importantly, cannot be reconfigured to spell out "jello pudding" when multiplied by the sum of the ancient ziggaurat's faces and the pixels in the image, fed into the pythagorean theorum where the sum of the characters is a^2 and the sum of the pixels in the current image is b^2, and c^2 is the answer. I would be very worried if I were you. lock your door, alert the media and prepare for the begetting.

    Nafl did not mess up the forum

    by stone cold

    Actually, Superman#1 is the culprit who messed up the forum by having the continuing HAHAHA!! without a break. So lay off Nafl. He has enough problems judging by his post and the time he must have to come up with his theory.

    SEND IN THE CLOWNS!

    by pisso the clown

    This is the second time today that clown discrimination has reared its ugly head. I was the first person to leave a Talk Back praising the work of Chuck Jones (and inviting all Talk Backers to bask in my Golden Shower to celebrate the cartoon king's birthday). Then, to my horror, the powers-that-be decided that my greeting was worthless. And why? I'll tell you why, noble friends. Because I am a clown! Why are clown frowned upon at this web site? Does my laughter and merriment threaten the so-called "evil geniuses" and the like that frequent this site of dispair? Does my urine smell stronger than Harry's own, making him feel like the lesser male? I cannot say, but I do know that my clownliness has cost me two posts on this fine September day. The clown revolution starts now, my friends! Let us rise up and let the world know that we will not be oppressed! VIVA LA CLOWN! And pee. I like pee. I am a wacky clown! *giggle!*

    Beware the clowns of death...

    by neardark

    Stephen King wrote IT, all about a KILLER CLOWN, Chuck Jones drew clowns at some point (probably), Bill Murray is a comic actor, otherwise known as a CLOWN, two seperate CLOWN RELATED posts suddenly appear on the talk back...what does it all mean you may well ask? Fucked if I know but it's damn spooky all the same. Also when you take into account that all three men, with the exception of Stephen King and Chuck jones, have worked with Bobcat Goldthwait who once starred in a film called SHAKES THE CLOWN as the title character it all becomes a blurry shade of clear. And not only that but Goldthwaite also starred in an episode of The Simpsons titled "The Last Temptation of Krusty"...and Krusty is of course...A CLOWN! Add to that the fact that if you were severely dyslexic all of Stephen King's novels may to you read as if they were about invading CLOWNS from the planet Bigstupidfuckngrinatron 8 and that when when the films of both Stephen King and Bill Murray play on TV, plus before and after the cartoons of Chuck Jones there are advertisments, and often those ads are for a CLOWN DOMINATED fast food (okay so it's not technically food, especially if you don't eat the girkin/pickle/green thing but go with me here) restaurant called Mcdonalds, run by a CLOWN called Ronald McDonald...a coincidence? I think not (actually thats just a statement to point out the fact that I don't think, period, nothing else is implied). It's well known in some clown dominated circles that Nostradamus once foretold a prophecy that the end of all things would begin with the the appearance everywhere of CLOWNS! And these clowns would begin a REIGN OF TERROR that would span a thousand years and at the head of which would be THE ANTI-CLOWN. At the end of this time there would be an uprising by an underground rebellion whose secret password to identify members to each other would be 'would you like fries with that?'...but unfortunately for all concerned it would end in cataclys...cataclis...a big fucking disaster that would kill all of earths creatures, both clown and non clown, and leave only the humble cockroach, who in a million years would evolve into a new type of upright walking super cockroach who would start to worship their ancient, jolly looking CLOWN GODS, leading to the sixth age, the Mchappy Age...Of course this prophecy of Nostradamus was torn up and burnt then jumped up and down on by his editor, a known CLOWN SYMPATHIZER who told him that it was all 'complete and utter bollocks' and that he has to stop drinking on the job or else people won't ever take him seriously as a fiction writer, but their conversation was overheard by a local JESTER that had somehow gotten lost in the wrong country and time period and quickly wrote down what he had heard of the CLOWN PROPHECY and copywrited it as his own, and as such it was passed down through time from father to clown to this very day. And it appears that this day is upon us, after all boys will be boys will be boys will be boys...the clowns of death are marching on their hideous parade, their glaring eyes are filled with hate but I am not afraid, the painted faces cracked with age, their makeup old and worn, with tattered wigs and TV grins to amplify their scorn...sorry I was channeling Danny Elfman there for a second...BEWARE THE CLOWNS OF DEATH, they are on their way, the signs are all around us, you have been warned. The clowns are everywhere...

    Our real goal

    by pisso the clown

    With all this talk of revolution and Ronald McDonald is fine and good, we are forgetting the real point here, people. Urine. Rivers and rivers of bright yellow, rancid-smelling urine! My it flow freely in the streets, brothers!

    Hooo-doggie! You bet I've seen that video. And comedy gold is what it is, let me tell you. When you mix two perfect elements like urine and a wacky monkey, the result can only be the funniest damn thing that any man or clown has ever seen. Brilliant!

    Birthday fever

    by kat

    I was born on September 21st too. I don't believe in astrology, but astrologers say that people born on this day are concerned with the zeitgeist of their time. Especially approriate for writers, I think.
