Speaking of robots, I just found the most awesome of robots ever conceived (thanks to Tyler Campbell, genius.) Behold:

Gun Robot Gun Robot
A gun robot that shoots gun robots.

It has recently come to my attention that the past Future Cave post entitled "Pantaloons" contains a glaring semantic error. The article of clothing in question, according to a faithful and unforgiving reader, could be described much more accurately as "Chaps," or, if you will, "Chap'O'Loons." Please excuse my mistake.

To ensure such an aberration does not recur, I've got some studying to do:

Encyclopeadia of Trousers and Leg-Coverings: A Pictorial History







Incidentally, this is my 100th post.

As a gift to myself I bought the domain name futurecave.com which is at least 17 fewer keystrokes than the previous address. You're welcome.

I just ate 7 chicken croquettes, like some kind of King.

Now, to puke.

It's windy today
For those about to rake, we salute you!

Me: I've noticed some people pronounce it "I Rack" and other people pronounce it "E Rock" but you never hear anybody say "I Rock."
Jenna: Well, it's because you don't.

I always thought this door said "Schickendanz" but on closer inspection it says "Schickedanz" which is not nearly as funny, but I photographed it anyway.





An advertisement for Dunkin' Donuts that ran briefly on Boston city buses in the summer of 2006. From the straw down it's just a smoothie--from the straw up it's ... suggestive.





A dollar store sighting. Like "Schickendanz," on first glance I could have sworn this said "Shit Bag." Alas.


"Hey, shit bag!"

* "Hits" as in they've gotten the most hits, not that they are any good. Most visitors arrive having misspelled Jockstrap, or looking for naked pictures of Axl Rose. Seriously.

The other day I was watching TV and on the news there was a newscaster with the following name:

The following are entries resurrected from a dead blog. Once upon a time I had a LiveJournal, and once upon a time, it was awful. These are the only posts conceivably worth zombification.

I recently discovered the work of a cartoonist whose work includes this pearl, entitled "Wrench Dressing." You see, it's a wrench dressing--far more sophisticated than my rendering of said subject.

Good
A wrench in the process of putting on pants
Bad
A wrench covered in what appears to be Ranch dressing

Only after I spent hours slaving over a hot Photoshop did I discover an actual for-serious no-kidding wireless electric nose light:



More from this fella Dominic Wilcox in the wish-I-had-thought-of-it file:


Addendum
:

I also came across this item from something called Stooples, which is, if you couldn't guess from the name, a parody of Staples:

stoop-noselight

This iteration of the nose light, however, strikes me as a bit juvenile. What exactly is the point of a nose light if it's not illuminating the nose? I mean, come on, really.
