Speaking of, uh, interesting books for children - has any of you seen anything illustrated by Stephen Gammell?

[hops]

Y'all dummies. Its 'Barack Obama'

It's jif.

[JoshuaFH]

Norwegian childrens book writers, I have to say, seem to understand their target audience... Stories such as the twin set of the little boy with diarrhea who pooed from here to there, who pooed out his dinner and pooed out his friend, who pooed out things he hadn't even eaten yet; and the book from the same author following his sister who vomited on things in much the same way her brother handled the other end of the bodily spectrum.

Or perhaps an inspiring tale of becoming comfortable with yourself for who you are, as depicted in "The Elephant Who Didn't Dare to Fart".


In a slight turn from bodily functions, there is of course the highly popular "Kurt" series of books, including the one where Kurt manages to reel in a fish the size of a large house, so he and his family decide to take a quick vacation, build a shack on top of the fish, and sail it around the world (crossing from Norway to China apparently takes 2-3 days when sailing a dead fish) while eating it out from underneath them.

...it's not entirely without bodily functions, of course, because Kurt's youngest, the boy, has as a life goal to urinate in public restrooms in every country in the world. The book covers his making a lot of headway in that lofty objective.

My goodness, these sound amazing. I mean... yeah, kid-me would have absolutely freaking loved them, but I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm in-touch enough with my inner child that reading those synopses made me chuckle out loud.      

Yep. There was actually another childrens book that got made into a film relatively recently; "Doctor Proctor's Farting Powder", where a couple kids meet the mad scientist living next door, and find among his many bizarre inventions a prank farting powder so powerful, that a person can fly through the air using only flatulent force.

What follows is a rousing romp of action and intrigue, as another fellow catches wind of the wind-breaking and tries to steal the formula himself so that he can patent it and get rich. Much farting, crashing into things, and traveling through toilets is involved.


"Author Jo Nesbø's daughter wanted him to write her a story about a little girl, a boy who was shorter than her, a mad scientist and a dinosaur. Nesbø changed the dinosaur into an anaconda and added the plot about the fart powder, since he always wanted to write a children's book about farting."

I mean, if you're looking for a great children's book, there's always that iconic, timeless Chuck Tingle classic "Pounded in the Ass by the Living Personification of the ABC's". God I'm sorry! That joke was too awful.

I remember the young adult sequel, "Pounded in the Butt by my Old Children's Books".  True Chuck Tingle artistry of the pen.

I guess I need to research Chuck Tingle.

He also has an audiobook style podcast now.

It might just be a metaphor for how far up our own asses we are.

Taking Herbie in a bold new direction I see.

Hollywood has already given us a woman fucking a fish. Can it give us woman fucking a Nazi-favourite car? We put our trust in you, Mickey Bay.

[Jopax]

Best part about it is that it seems Bay and his twitchy explosions are nowhere near this one. Seems like an actual family movie in the vein of Iron Giant and not whatever the fuck the previous ones were supposed to be :V

[Parsely]

That's because Michael Bay isn't directing it, Travis Knight is. He was an animator for Coraline and he directed Kubo and the Two Strings. This ain't your daddy's Transformers movie, this might actually be a Transformers entry that is different (WHAT) and artistic (GET OUT)!

[Il Palazzo]

Bay-less Transformers?

All hope for woman-on-Volkswagen love is lost. If only they hired Benicio instead...

[TD1]

From the little I remember of Transformers lore (?), they don't require genitalia to reproduce. I therefore doubt that it is possible for the Volkswagon to ravish her.
