“Mayhem” Goes Insectile!
What’s buzzin’, Cousin? The Mayhem Bee, that’s what! With seemingly no limitations to the number of species that Dean Winters can impersonate, he’s a mighty mite as a bee, attired as always in a conservative suit, and sans makeup. Other animals that Winters has channeled have included a deer, cat, raccoon, St. Bernard pup, bear, and bird!
In this Allstate commercial spot, Winters dons wings, and in his diminutive state buzzes the lady driver of a car in motion, distracting her and shouting “Boo!” into her ear. She looses control, and the car careens wildly before wrecking. Even Winters in his bee-form isn’t immune to the laws of physics, however, winding up mashed against the interior of the windshield. “What a buzz-kill!,” he proclaims…
Some of us, including yours truly, can remember those thrilling days of crank-powered car windows, when stinging insects could enter open rear windows, leaving you no way of driving them out short of pulling over off the road. – – Ahh, the memories of near calamity that this commercial evokes! And three cheers for the very talented Dean Winters!

Ah! But, I’ll bet he couldn’t win a modern fifth-grade spelling bee!

You want to talk about misbehavior? Here’s my imitation of Weird Al Yankovic: a little ditty called ODE TO A TELEMARKETER.
“Far-away people with strange-sounding names invading my privacy.
Trying to sell me crap I don’t want! Calling endlessly.
They might call from China or maybe Thailand. I really don’t know which.
Nor do I care! It’s just way out of hand. Becoming a total b***h!”

Now dare we hope to see the Mayhem bee in a steel cage deathmatch with the Honey Nut Cheerios bee? I’d pull up a chair to watch that one! (The Mayhem bee would probably fight dirty…) 🙀

Or, he might wind up like Duane Bobick after 70 seconds with Ken Norton (as happened back in the Great Mismatch of 1977).

My money’s on Mayhem, ’cause he’s got a dark side whereas the Honey Nut Cheerios bee is all sweetness and light. Mayhem might play with Honey Nut bee a while, tormenting him, then engineer a mishap that would take him out! 🐝

Unless, of course, Honey Nutt has the blessings of a certain energy field from a galaxy far, far away.

Speaking of galaxies far, far away…
Happ Anniversary, MUFON (Mutual UFO Network).
It was 77 years ago, this date, that civilian aviator Kenneth Arnold first sighted nine unnaturfally fast-moving (for 1947) objects near Mount Rainier, Washington State. Comparing them afterward to saucers, or pie plates, cut in half and being skipped across water like stones on a pond. It is this description that the news media of the day paraphrased by coining the term… “flying saucer.”

Btw: when you get a headache from self-injuring your cranium on the nearest wall, is the pharmaceutical remedy called…Tyveklenol?

(See, that’s a portmanteau of “Tyvek” and “Tylenol” and…)

You too! I’d rather have a bottle in front of me, than have to have a frontal lobotomy, so I did hit the diet soda pretty hard… 😉
