At risk of sounding like an idiot, yet for fear of doing a Google search and being bombarded with visuals I don’t need, what’s a “blumpkin pumpkin”? ---

You know, it might not be a recurring thing-it could just be more “adult” than before, but they aren’t always a gay couple. If you recall the old cartoon, Ren and Stimpy were always changing places-sometimes they were brothers, sometimes coworkers, etc. ---

TMI! A blumpkin is an oral sexual act performed upon someone who is on the toilet defecating. ---

Perhaps Ren & Stimpy could also be accused of being into B&D, S&M, or TB&A. The ‘Happy Helmet’ episode continues to bo one of my favorites. [Slight hijack] Does anyone know what became of Duckman? That was IMHO a great toon that I used to watch on USA. [/Slight hijack] ---

[hijack] How did John K. get his show back? Did TNN (Spike, whatever) buy the rights from Nickelodeon? His dismissal was very unamicable. [/hijack] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ren-simpy-are-out-of-the-closet-apparently/181689.md?page=1)
