From The LUBO Vaults... Friday is here again, and you know what that means...only three days until Monday. Needless to say I am pretty bummed out. Tommorow is even worse because then there are only two days until Monday. And don't get me started on Sunday...The only time of the week I can enjoy anymore is the one hour period between 6 and 7 on Monday evening, the farthest possible point from the next Monday after that. But man is that hour SWEET! Sometimes I spend it crying, alone and bitter in my special dark alley around the corner from my office building. Other times I just break down right in front of the building. Or in the case of last Monday, I didn't even make it to the elevator before I felt the signature lump in my throat and moisture in my eyes. The people who rode the elevator with me must have thought I was crazy, the way I was sobbing and chanting "Life Is So Wicked and Beautiful" over and over again. But it was sweet nonetheless. Jesus. Was that little made up story a little too Dilbertish for lunchboxing? Maybe...but at least I recognize it. ANYHOOOOOOOOO.....Have a radical weekend lunchboxers, and enjoy this LUBO Classic by Jeff Berson (by clicking on the picture above) while we continue working hard on some great new features for next week! Ahdeeos! bullied by jamie flam on 4/11/2003 :: Remember These Fuckers?  So dumb. When the Garbage Pail Kids craze hit its zenith in the late 80's, these little bastards hit the 25 cent vending machine circuit and relentless kids like me had to have them, even though they were quite obviously super-shitty bootlegged send-offs. If you click on the pic you can see a bigger, clearer version. Well worth the double click energy expenditure. So why am I writing about this? Because I happened across this picture, became nostalgic, and didn't have any features ready to go for today. I will also use this opportunity to point you to our new and improved Features Page. I took the time to clean it up so that it wasn't a completely messy jumbled piece of garbage. Now you can easily navigate the site and find all your favorite LUBO classics with ease. Tell a friend. My next project will be to clean up the Links (Defeated Foes) and Specials (Lunch Specials) page. I think it would be cool if the Specials page was actually kind of special. What do you think? Comment below. Until tommorow, be safe dear friends. bullied by jamie flam on 4/10/2003 :: Jack Move! Dear Jamie, So the new Onion has its own story about invading Spain. Sound familiar? I wrote them this mean note. I think we should point this out, repost my brilliant story, like soon, and also this letter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Onion, You are much too funny to steal ideas from a site as dumb as lunchboxing.com. I mean, seriously. They wrote this even before the war: http://www.lunchboxing.com/feat_paws2.shtml Seriously, come on. I mean, really. Now it's like, after the war. Come on. Like, seriously.

Then, donate time and money to your local orphanage! How great and accomplished your will feel! bullied by jamie flam on 4/8/2003 :: The Great Funyun Coincidence  Last year we ran a feature entitled Lookin' Good: Fashion 101 with Dan Fazio. It was by Dan Fazio. One of his fashion suggestions included an All Funyuns Diet to lose the gut. When compiling pictures for the feature, I did a Google Image Search and found the picture you see above of a good natured looking gentleman enjoying Funyuns. I used it in the original article. Well, Saturday evening I found myself at a social gathering in the Mission District of San Francisco, and as I ladeled myself a glass of punch (it had alcohol in it and stuff), I noticed a familiar face standing next to me: The Funyuns Dude! I hesitated approaching him at first, because I mean, what were the chances that this was the same guy I found randomly in an image search on the world's most popular search engine?? But I decided to approach anyways. Me: "Excuse me, I apologize. I know this is totally random, but is there a picture of you eating Funyuns somewhere on the internet?" Him: "Well, I do enjoy Funyuns from time to time...." Me:"Well I have this web-site, and I put up this article a few months back, and I used a picture I found on the internet of a dude that looks exactly like you eating Funyuns." Him: "Well, I guess there's only one way to find out..." At this point, the dude broke out his "unreleased" palm pilot looking phone module that was completely connected to the internet. Within 30 seconds he did a Google Image Search for Funyuns, and sure enough, the seventh result was a picture of him eating his favorite snack chip. We shared a good laugh, but he wasn't nearly as excited as I was. In fact, he never even asked what the article was about or what web-site he could find it on. That becomes weirder the more I think about it...Although based on the people at the party and the projected image of floating bubbles on the ceiling, I think its safe to assume he was on some of them upper-downer-drugs. But the moral of the story is that once again, lunchboxing is bridging the gap between Funyun lovers and Funyun haters. And that's why I sit here at work, smiling. Now, read this lighthearted cartoon by Joe Harris, entitled Harper Flies Away. It'll make you smile at work, too! bullied by jamie flam on 4/7/2003 :: |
