Year 3, Week 1: Pageant of the Transmundane

Hello from the Streets of San Francisco. I am being chased by a young Michael Douglas and an old dude with a huge snozz, so I am guessing this is 1973.

This week's winning entry comes from the sugary sweet environs of Layercake.net.

Heidi threw down a little slice of Onion goodness she entitled When Dinosaurs Ruled the video store aisles, which discusses a certain chain of video stores as a retail relic.

And since this week's winning entry is video-related, well, Homer's appearance and subsequent edited interview on Rock Bottom seemed appropriate. The fact that it is also related to a certain video that has been floating around the internet of a particular blowhard who I have a professed dislike for, doesn't hurt, especially since Rock Bottom is sort of a riff on shows like A Current Affair and Inside Edition.



Welcome to the club, Heidi.



The rules of this little contest: Every week I will be selecting one blog post that I have seen from the vast reaches of the blogosphere to bestow with the Homer Simpson Transmundanity Award for being one of the freakiest(in a funny way) things I've seen or read during a 7 day period. It doesn't necessarily have to have been written during the week, I just had to have encountered it. That means that if you find something interesting and repost it like a movie or whatever, if I saw it at your blog first, you get the prize. Of course, creating your own content is also a very good way to win.

Now, if you see a post that you think is worthy of this illustrious prize, just drop me a line at campybeaver@gmail.com and we'll see if we can't get your suggestion up and award-ready while giving you some credit and a link to your own blog.
