Ok, so we were just maxin’ and relaxin’ reading the latest issue of Self magazine when suddenly there it was, shining brightly in pretty shades of pink, staring us right in the face, bringing with it a rush of hormones and horniness happiness, an advertisement for the Today Sponge. That’s right, the Today Sponge is back. Not sure how long it’s been back on the market in the US, but all that matters is that it has returned to us, like a long lost friend.. with benefits. If you love something, have the FDA pull it off the market, if it returns to the shelves, it’s yours, if it doesn’t, it never was.

Here it is in all of its old school glory:

Here she is all snazzed up with a cute avatar and some fancy new typeface, what’s with the Y? Looks like a U with a tail.:

And here is the classic Seinfeld episode where George begs Elaine for a Sponge to use for make-up sex with Susan. “You’ve heard of make-up sex right?” And Elaine gauges her date’s Spongeworthiness…”and you’ll lose the sideburns?”

As for us, we’re breaking out the Barry White and the , but only after a quick trip to Target to fill our carts! Bow chicka chikca boawww..

It’s gettin’ hot in hur. Yeah that’s right, hur, like thur. Cause we’re down like that. No actually we’re nothing like that. Not down at all really. Not even a little bit.

We’re in class all day today but while we’re there, we have an assignment for you. Learn how to make your own mash up.

Top 3 things to ponder after watching this:

1) Does your Grandma have her own YouTube channel? Hurry, check. Now.

2) Was Flight of the Bumblebees ever a top ten hit, you know, back the day?

3) How did Red Bull and Rock Star lose out to Mountain Dew for this product placement?

Here is some really fabulous mash up inspiration

Please, don’t go back to work without watching this video. Seriously, unless you don’t mind being the only kid in the cubicle who hasn’t seen the latest, of the moment viral vid. Remember how you felt a couple of weeks ago when everyone was talking about Dramatic Chipmunk and you had no idea what or who that was? Don’t let it happen again. If you’re reading this through an RSS feed, take the time to make the strenuous, physically draining three clicks to the site to watch the video. It’s for your own good. Kind of like vegetables.

Recipe for Walking it Out Fosse Style

1 Bob Fosseesque choreography via some random 60s television clip

3 Pastel Pantsuits

3 minutes 26 seconds of Unk

Umpteen million hip thrusting dance moves performed by 3 bouffant wearing Tammy Faye lookalikes wearing sunglasses for headbands.

Combine ingredients. Shake and serve over ice.

We have a rule around here and that rule is: No walking it out without the penguins. Period.

This is the clip they should have shown in theaters because Happy Feet the movie was…yeah, not so much.

Sometimes popular culture takes a wrong and twisted turn. Such is the case with the “lucky” rabbit’s foot. Growing up we always thought lucky rabbit’s feet were just about the creepiest thing on imaginable. Why would anyone want to carry around the dead appendage of a defenseless animal and call it lucky? And why were they always dyed bright colors? Seriously it’s a sick and twisted little piece of pop culture history and luckily (for the rabbits and our psyches) it’s fallen way out of fashion. And now with the help of modern technology it appears that thousands of rabbits are being reunited with their long lost “lucky” paws.

Watch and be grateful for the wonders of modern science.

Porn and the 4th of July go together like..well actually they don’t really go together at all. But fireworks manufacturers (manufacturi?) see the connection quite clearly and they’re making lots of not so subtle attempts to point it out.

Unleash the double-entendres! Top 9 Pornographic Fireworks

#9- Hard Core- Need we say more? This one is touted as a “finale repeater”, guess that comes in handy for the money shot(s).

#8 Big Balls- Doesn’t this one have it’s own genre? Note the warning on the front of the box: Caution emits showers of…

#7 Motor Mouth- What? Don’t act like you didn’t think it too.

#6 Sex Goddess- Totally high maintenance, usually seen hanging around the set with #3

#5 Big Package- If you’re into that sort of thing. Check those measurements, is that even legal?

#4 Bangtastic- 19 shots in one bang. You could shoot all night without a break, but that might be against union rules.

#3 Nymphette- She’ll make you see stars. In the sky, you know ’cause it’s the 4th of July. Seriously, wtf?

#2 Riding Hard- We would have called it Little Red Riding Hard but whatever.

#1 The Big O- We suggest lighting a bunch of these at once: you know, like multiple.

Just remember, always play safe with fireworks and other er…explosives.

You’ve come a long way, baby. This ad perfectly captures the late 80s, sexy, spendy, Reagan era of excess and backs it all up with a sexy KTel soundtrack. If it weren’t for the brick phone shots and the driving you might mistake it for an ad for Mateus Rose. Sexy.

Mmmm, Mateus

We’ve been tagged! By a meme! Twice! First we were tagged by Samurai Frog from the pop culturetastic Electronic Cerebrectomy and we whined our way out of it. And now, we’ve been tagged again, this time by Steve at the always educational How to Split an Atom. So we figure it’s time to come out of our shell and face the Meme music. This should provide some satisfaction to the hordes of 3 people who click the About Layercake link.

This one is titled “8 Things About Me” and since this is a pop culture flavored website, we’re keeping it on the pop culture tip, if you will. And, we’re even going to write in the first person singular, just like we did back in the day!

8 Things About Me

#1  My favorite cartoon character: Fred Flintstone. He’s the original Homer Simpson, hapless, self absorbed and usually in a fair amount of trouble. Flintstooooonnnnne!!!! (say it in a Mr. Slate yelly voice)

#2  I love movies, so much so that I spent nearly 5 years working as an analyst and then a product manager for a little start up called Netflix. On my first day, they gave me a DVD player and the first DVD I bought got with a 3 free coupon code was Pretty Woman.

#3  I wish I could draw. I always wanted to take the Art Instruction School Free Art test that used to run on the back page of my Grandmother’s magazines.

I never took the test because I knew my turtle would look something like this:

#4  I subscribe to a ridiculous number of magazines.

#5  Favorite television show : Big Love. Favorite television show in syndication: Seinfeld.

#6   Favorite Brand Mascot, 3 way tie: 1) The Quick (Nesquik) Bunny because my main thrill in life as a child was any flavor Quik beverage, but especially chocolate. 2) Tony the Tiger even though his voice is too grown up. 3) Jack from Jack in the Box. I don’t eat there but he’s snarky and he’s a snappy dresser.

#7 Is my favorite number.

#8  Recycling makes me happy.

So that wraps up our 8 Things About Me tag fulfillment. And now it’s time for us to tag someone. We choose Bob Page.
