That’s horrible. Did anyone else think the badgers were getting closer and closer everytime? Also did anyone else notice one of the badgers in the back doesn’t show up everytime? I hope like hell he’s not planning on following me home. ---

Yeah the little guy in the back right only shows up during the first set of “badgerbadgerbadger” each time. If he follows you home, moe will eat him for you. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Standup Karmic \* > \*\*IFor the record, the first two verses of “badgerbadger…mushroommushroom” contain twelve iterations of the word “badger” before going to the “mushroommushroom” part. The next three verses contain only eleven iterations of “badger” (then “mushroommushroom”) before continuing on to “snake snake oooooo…it’s a snake.” \*\* I only counted 12 badgers the first time around. The second it was already 11. Maybe it drove me crazy. ---

Hey, try right clicking and select “forward” a bunch of times! Mine’s going so fast that the picture is stuck on Badgers and it says Mushroom & Snake at the same time! Can barely make out “badger” now. ---

After the first snake, there are five sets of badgers between snakes, the first two badger-sets containing 12 badgers, and the last three 11 each. ---

Night before last, I played “badger badger” for my wife - not very long; only 2 reps of the snake. Yesterday afternoon, watching football, I started going “badger badger” when the score for the Wisconsin Badgers came on. (I think the snake must’ve gotten to them, btw.) She promptly told me she’d dreamed about “badger badger” the previous night. Damn, I’m good. 🙂 ---

I’m glad I stopped taking acid. That would have sent me screaming into oncoming traffic. The Smurf thing was hysterical, though. I sent it to one of my bosses. He’s about as juvenile as I am. ---
**Author:** ![Algorithm](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/straightdope/user_avatar/boards.straightdope.com/algorithm/32/12204_2.png) [@Algorithm](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/Algorithm)\ **Post date:** [September 15, 2003, 4:40am UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/badger-badger-badger-badger-mushroom-mushroom/200626/76 "2003-09-15T04:40:40Z")
Well the “main sequence” described in badger-set theory contains the following: 12 badgers 2 mushrooms 11 badgers 2 mushrooms 11 badgers 2 mushrooms 11 badgers SNAKE 12 badgers 2 mushrooms …repeating forever. So we see that there are 10 divisions of the main sequence, separated into badger-sets, dual-mushrooms, and a single snake appearence. Dual-mushrooms appear on divisions 2, 4, 6, and 10, whereas badger-sets appear on all the odd-numbered divisions (if you start counting at 1). Badger-sets at 1 and 9 have 12 badgers, the rest of the badger-sets have 11 badgers. This makes for 66 total animal/fungus appearences in the main sequence. So, simply create an infinite loop in which another loop executes, iterating 10 times. A mod operation against 2 will determine whether or not the iteration is odd. In the case of an odd iteration, display a size 11 badger-set. On the 1st or 9th iteration, display a 12th badger. For even iterations, display a dual-mushroom, unless it is the 8th iteration, in which case display a snake. ---

Today I was at the salad bar, putting stuff on my plate. And what was going through my head, in time with what I was doing? “lettuce lettuce lettuce lettuce lettuce lettuce _mushroom mushroom_…” Yeah, just shoot me now. I swear, this is worse than All Your Snakes…er, All Your _Base_ Are Belong To Us. ---
