My favorite Marlin Perkins story:

Oh man, THANK YOU! I love this thread. I have no opinion about the OP, other than that I’m in the same boat as Captain Amazing, but I got to discover the fearsome fearlessness of Honey Badgers (I’ve been obsessed with watching other YouTube videos about them), learned a new catchphrase, re-discovered Wild Kingdom (until this morning I had no idea there’s a whole Wild Kingdom YouTube channel!) and learned that grandfatherly, meeky-mannered, high-voiced Perkins was as badass as the Honey Badgers.

Now, could someone tell me, what’s the reference to mushroom MUSHROOM about, and will I regret it if I pursue it?

@Baker

Badger also doesn’t care about good grammar.

*The use of italics in the quote is mine.

It’s a take off on that catchphrase, in the video Boyo Jim posted about in Post 55. “Honey Badger don’t care. Honey Badger don’t give a shit!”

He is paraphrasing the honey badger thing.

And yes, you’ll regret it.

Rumor has it, if you watch it 100 times, you get a hidden message from Weebl.

Even freakin’ Betty White knows about the Honey Badger!

[Boyo_Jim]

I think it’s really funny that the meme has spread so far that in a story in today’s Washington Post, there’s a story describing Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler as the “honey badger of Colorado politics.”

Well, it is comforting to know that at least my species has some redeeming qualities.

[thelurkinghorror]

To be fair, its ferocity has been known awhile. South Africa named an armored vehicle after them.

Which are you? A honey badger or a badgerbadgerbadger? Honey badgers are more closely related to martens, the red headed stepchild of mustelids.

Well seeing as how I have a large American Badger tatooed on my forearm it would be a bit late to claim a relation to the honey badger. Been a nickname since I was a kid.

How many hispanic mechanics does it take to insert a spark plug?

Oh, two thumbs —uh - up!

Even in Britain, the ferocity of the honey badger is known (though apparently the subject of some debate).

I couldn’t answer that, all of my hispanic mechanics worked only on diesels.

All right then, how many hispanic mechanics does it take to insert a diesel spark plug? Duh!

For the record, I also feel greatly embiggened by how much I’ve learned in this single thread! Though that badgerbadgerbadger song is now stuck in my synapses.

I haven’t had the courage to watch it yet, though thanks Telemark, for the link.

Did you watch the long version (10:00:03) to see if there was anything hidden in it?

[thelurkinghorror]

The original was a looping Flash animation, so anything there is not Jonti’s. Except 73 minutes in, your consciousness shifts and you see neon badgers. The timer resets if you look at your watch.
