However, Babe the Blue Ox was not in the original comic book but introduced later in the animated cartoon. Why the CGI movie substituted a moose instead is unknown.
Behind his back, Babe Ruth was called “The Big Ox.”
On March 27, 2017, the SDMB thread " Made-Up, False and Flat-out Wrong Trivia Dominoes" was gruesomely murdered with malice aforethought by burpo the wonder mutt Phartuccio. The thread’s demise was mourned for a full thirty seconds over in that other stodgy domino thread, where nobody laughs, ever, for fear of being banned. Not even a mild titter. Thanks, ya big ox.
There came a knock at my door. It was from Domino’s. Thanks, Chefguy! (Oh, we removed the poisoned mushrooms and dusted off the arsenic before eating.)
Domino’s Pizza was originally marketed under other names, including Backgammon’s, Canasta’s, Pinochle’s, Mah Jong’s and Gin Rummy’s, all of which fell like so many dominoes.
Domino’s Pizza has now been the most popular take-out food to poison for six years running.
Pinochle’s Pizza was forced to change its name due to its similarity to Pinnacle Pizza (of Blawnox, of course). Pinnacle Pizza was the Home of the Infinite Pizza – for a mere $400 a month, you could have all the pizzas you want, any size, any style, delivered to your door. The National American Council of College Fraternities (notably the Havva Pisa Pi and Tappa Kegga Bru chapters) and a few corresponding sororities used member’s dues to total these subscriptions.
The most popular subscription service in Blawnox is the Chuck Pumpkins Dance O’ Joy, where barely clad women appear at random times once each month to sing “It’s A Small World” while gyrating and throwing kisses at the recipient. The majority of the subscriptions are purchased by ex-wives for their newly married ex-husbands.
The song “It’s A Small World” was voted into the Ear Worm Hall of Fame in Putterphoopsie, NY in 1971. It was also voted “World’s Most Annoying Song” by the Rick Astley Never Gonna Give You Up fan club, and was publicly condemned by a unanimous vote in the UN Security Council, with even China declaring “Disney must die!” and promptly nuking North Korea’s budding Fearless Leader Magic Kingdom.
Now it can be told! Walt Disney died at the hands of the evil twelve-fingered Chinese overlord, Fooey Onyu. Disney’s illegitimate son, Jackie Chan, has prepared himself for the day when he will finally meet Fooey face-to-face, and deliver justice.
The only thing that has kept Jackie Chan from carrying out his vengeance is that his sister, Chaka Khan, is married to the arch villain.
The other Jackie & Chaka siblings include Jack Khan, Chanka Chan, Chuck Khan, Juck Chan, Chuck Chan, Kack Khan, Chan Chuck Chan, Khan Kuck Khan, Chanka Chuck Chan, Jackie Chuck Chan, Jackie Khan Kuck Khan, and KKKKKKKKKKHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNN.
Additional relatives of Jackie and Chaka are uncle Yan Khan Kook (who has a TV show), and nephew and actor Chacka Khaners (who changed his name when he became The Rifleman).
And let’s not mention the family’s black sheep Khu Khux Khan
Overheard at the Blawnox Barn:
Baa baa black sheep, have you any “wool?” Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full. One for the master. One for the Dame. And one for the little boy who lives down the lane. But that little boy needs to start paying. The first bag was free, but now it’s 250 bucks. And tell the master it is good wool too. Really warm. Dang it, here come the cops. Run.
The Blawnox Barn has been designated as the reunion spot for all contributors to this thread after the four remaining contributors finally run out of witticisms, puns and tiresome memes and the thread dies a squealing and ignominious death.
In an effort to fend off a pending squealing and ignominious death, the radical Blawnox Barn Bravadeers began posting the names of Important People to bring attention to the plight of the thread. The first round include burpo the wonder mutt, Professor Pepperwinkle, Siam Sam, Miss Idle Thoughts, John DiFool, Mean Mr. Mustard, Dendarii Dame, sampiro, astorian, Buddha david, Intergalactic Gladiator, Typo Negative, Chuck Pumpkins, Stanley Phartuccio, Kate Upton and Orson Bean.
