Games, Movies, Logos: Today in Awesome

It's gorgeous out, that bullshit ordinance is on hold—we need to keep the awesome train moving. Choo choo.

Suck it, Golden Tee. We're geeking over this vintage coin-op bowling game. And it's only $1,950.

Part of the U of C's recently completed Scav Hunt was redesigning the branding for Cholie's. Mahaaha.

Sad trombone. Instant rimshot.

And people say it's hard to find good help.

Fraggle movie. FRAGGLE MOVIE. So psyched. Let the music play, *clap clap*...

"The Bozeman Think Tank had done the impossible–only because they mistakenly believed it had already been achieved."

You know, we don't even care that this story isn't true: These *are* the lyrics to the Indiana Jones theme song. "In-di-ana fuck-ing Jones / In-di-ana moth-er-fuck-ing Jones / In-di-ana fuck-ing Jones / Bite my ball-sack you Na-zis I’m In-di-ana fuck-ing Jones."

The evolution of presidential bumper stickers. These clearly peaked in 1968 and 1972.

"Meaty soups make roadies fart."

i've never once played golden tee. it seems pointless. if people get mega frustrated hitting a *real* ball and walking around all day, why fake golf**?

but those metal puck bowling games with the weird parmesan cheese sand lubricant? oh, yes. hell, yes. i can't tell you how many hours of my youth were spent on those. yes.

**yet, i will play video bowling. i can't account for it.

 

Some of the bumper stickers are hilarious.

Phil Gramm's (1996) resembles a tombstone, but credit him for not flogging the red, white, and blue theme.

Bob Smith for President looks like a sample of a wacky novelty bumper sticker out of the Lilian Vernon catalog.

Lamar!

 

my dad collects presidential memorabilia, and all those 1964 bumper stickers were among the collection that made it on the wall. and holy bujeezus--those men are judging us. stop looking at me, rockefeller! i'm sorry for whatever i did!
