This showed up as a shared item in Google Reader for me from Aric who found it via Geeks are Sexy who appears to have gotten it from The Young Gary Busey Chronicles who got it from private panic.

When I saw it; I snorted my hot tea with laughter. Ouch.

You might be surprised at what you can figure out about your snowblower if you try. My level of mechanical expertise is a moderately complex Lego set, and yet I was able to diagnose & fix a problem with our snow blower earlier this winter.

The trick is to ignore the fact that you don’t know diddly-squat about what you’re doing and apply standard computer troubleshooting techniques…
1. Smack the device. Smack it HARD.
2. When Step 1 fails, swear loudly while pretending you’ve muted your phone.
3. Apologize for swearing.
4. Sacrifice a goat (or a chicken, but a goat is preferred).
5. If the sacrifice does not appease the angry snowblower gods, then try the other standard computer troubleshooting technique. Send it up to level2 support. :p

While watching the debate, I heard McCain smugly say “I have plans” and you know he’s right. He does have plans which this image (with a bit of paraphrasing) more accurately depicts.

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yumm!

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yumm!

In the morning, laughing happy sheep heads
In the evening, floating in the soup

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yumm!

Ask a sheep head anything you want to
They won’t answer, they can’t talk

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yumm!

I took a sheep head out to see a movie,
Didn’t have to pay to get it in

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yumm!

They can’t play baseball, they don’t wear sweaters
They’re not good dancers, they don’t play drums

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yumm!

Rolly Polly sheep heads are never seen drinking cappuccino in
Italian restaurants with Oriental women.
Yeeaahh

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yumm!

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yumm!

Yum!

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yumm!

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yummmm!

Yeeaahh

I couldn’t resist joining in on all the fun, helping to promote Mr. Scalzi’s write-in bid to become the SFWA president. My apologize to Grant Wood for bastardizing his painting but it made for a good joke (I hope). This poster was created entirely in GIMP and uses a Creative Commons licensed picture of Mr. Scalzi that I found on Flickr.

I should probably give you a bit of background, as not all of my readers necessarily read Mr. Scalzi’s blog on a daily basis. On 15 March 2007, Mr. Scalzi received his ballot for this years SFWA elections. After looking it over, he decided he had some problems with it and posted a note on his blog that he was now a write-in candidate. The next day he posted some promotional images/posters made for him by various fans. A couple of days passed and still he kept talking about this whole SFWA election. Naturally, this kept the fans pouring in with comments and additional images. Finally I could resist the siren’s lure no more and created the image you see here.

Update: For the closest thing to an explanation of the bacon on a cat thing, you’ll need to read this post over at the Whatever.
