Coming Soon: Retard Kolaches

I hate to say, “that’s just not funny.” Even aside from the Fem­i­nist Law Profs own­er­ship of that par­tic­u­lar intel­lec­tual prop­erty (and you do not want to tan­gle with the FLPs), I fig­ure it’s bet­ter to respect the dark humor in a sit­u­a­tion than to pre­tend it doesn’t exist. But c’mon now, Psy­cho Donuts: “A padded cell, a ‘nut­case’ art dis­play”? Strait­jack­ets for the kid­dos? “Bipo­lar” donuts? “Mas­sive Head Trauma” donuts?

Really?

How about these new busi­ness ideas (free to any­one who can get an SBA loan)?:

  • Crip­ple Chili Dogs, where all the sand­wiches are bro­ken in amus­ing ways.
  • Booze­hound Smooth­ies, with drinks like the “Mad Dog”, the “Sterno”, and the “DTs”.
  • PTSD Crois­sants, where video screens play enter­tain­ing loops of actual vio­lent crimes and gun bat­tles from Viet­nam to Afghanistan over a sound­track of screech­ing brakes and IEDs.

Or (my per­sonal favorite):

  • The Knocked-Up Teenager Bak­ery, where a bare­foot high school dropout will serve your bread on a wrap­per printed to look like GEDs.

    The Knocked-Up Teenager Bak­ery: are you eli­gi­ble for an SBA loan if your mother was a RWNJ can­di­date for vice president?

    Okay, I’ll run with it. If I were writ­ing the book, the KUTB would be a bak­ery attached to a halfway house for young, for­merly home­less, expec­tant moth­ers who would work as wait– and bake-staff. The place would be scrupu­lously clean, of course.

    Their ads would read: “Here at the Knocked Up Teenager Bak­ery, we’ve always got a bun in the oven.”

    I ran into Rodent­man (not his real name) at the gun store today. He gave me his busi­ness card. Rman lost a leg in a motor­cyle acci­dent, some years ago, and his busi­ness card reads: “Dis­mem­ber­ment has its privileges.”

    Hmmm… are you com­par­ing men­tal ill­ness to statu­tory rape?

    Weird.

    • Mark Bennett says:

      No, but it’s fas­ci­nat­ing that that is how your brain works.

      There’s no statu­tory rape involved in impreg­nat­ing a teenager unless one of the par­ties is at least three years older than the other (in TX, YMMV etc.).
