What’s the Plural of Penis?
April 13, 2010 - 9:12am
Written by Rachel Fine
Ladies and gentlemen, I have a serious and meaningful question to ask you. A rare and beautiful question that allows a fleeting glimpse into your inner warrior. A question that separates the girls from the women and the boys from the completely perverted men.
What’s the heaviest object you would imagine a woman could pick up with her boobs?
On this week’s episode of The Bonus Show, we go vintage with a clip from 2000, in which a particularly “rubenesque” woman in the green room manages to lift a chair using only her knockers. A CHAIR! I feel so…inadequate. Which is a first for me, in the rack department.
Speaking of inadequate, we get more time with Richard & Sal’s penis’s (peni?) this week. Not only do we learn more about the intricacies of Cockyoke, we get to watch Richard & Sal cross streams. I want to judge them, but I can’t promise I wouldn’t cross streams if I were a guy. In fact, I can absolutely promise I would do it as often as possible. Girls get cheated on fun peeing! If I had a weiner for the day, I would find snow to write my name in IMMEDIATELY. You guys have all the fun.
Also, Ba Ba Booey’s Mail Bag is back! I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but I will tell you it involves toes and fungus. So...get excited for that?!?
I can’t wrap up this blog without going back to boob-lifting. Maybe this should be an Olympic sport. And maybe I’m being sexist by limiting this skill to women. Who’s to say a guy with a glorious set of Moobs* couldn’t lift some serious shit? And since we’re dealing with more fat/gravity than muscles, I don’t know that the men have an inherent advantage in this sport. Someone call ESPN.

Beet & Beavers.

On episode #8 of The Bonus Show, Jon is under the impression that I have a crush on Beetlejuice. I feel the need to publicly clarify. It is often said that people fear what they don’t understand. I, on the other hand, completely obsess. I do not understand Beet AT ALL and I am completely fascinated with him! If Beetlejuice had a live web cam feed, I don’t know that I’d ever leave the house. BUT IT’S NOT A CRUSH, JON! I don’t want to have sexual relations with the Beet. I want to watch the Beet, 24/7, in hopes of better understanding what’s going on inside that little head.
Also super cool this week, we’re introducing Gary Dell’Abate as his alter ego, “Techno Beaver”, a loveable woodland creature who rose above his humble beginnings along the river and through focus, determination and schooling, became a leading expert in technology. (Really, Ba Ba Booey puts on a beaver suit and reviews some pretty cool gadgets). I can’t help but think I’m missing a punchline that ties “techno beaver” to the overuse of a vibrator…but I’ll work on it and get back to you.
Speaking of porn (I jumped from vibrators, stay with me), both Ronnie and Gary contribute to this episode of The Bonus Show. Ronnie walks us through his dvd selections from the Glom Box and Gary shares endearing stories from his youth…at a porn theatre. So there’s that.
Plus Medicated Pete does JUST TERRIBLE impressions of staff members (although for my money, the best awful impression is still Jon doing Artie, episode 3 of The Bonus Show, which I’ve watched no less than 15 times). Lots of Bonus Show fun this week! Enjoy!

Parental Censorship.

Yes, my devolving into the world of perversion has been a little tough on me. I’m giggling inappropriately in a “that’s what she said” manner (or “TWSS” as Richie Wilson & I have abbreviated for expediency sake), I have a growing collection of dirty jokes and I’m finding bodily functions strangely amusing. But for as tough as this transition has been on me, it is NOTHING compared to how difficult it’s been on my dad.
My poor dad. He’s always been so supportive of everything I’ve done. Which is getting harder and harder (TWSS!) to do without one or both of us getting creeped out. Every time I post a new blog on here, he runs to facebook to “like” it…when clearly I discuss things a father cannot possibly “like” his daughter discussing. He’s so conflicted about supporting this!
So I get on the computer Monday and see that the Stern Facebook Superfans have started a campaign to get me in Maxim, presumably for its half naked nature (exhibit A: http://bit.ly/ciWofl). Apparently, this was the final straw for my father, who has started a counter movement to keep me a little more innocent (exhibit B: http://bit.ly/bobmWl). We’ll see how this one shakes out in the weeks to come, but something tells me there isn’t a high demand for chicks who don’t show some skin. Sorry, pops.
Well, that’s it for this week. Oh right, how about I tell you about The Bonus Show? Sorry- I was reporting on The Rachel Show for a sec. Lots to look forward to this week- I’ve got two awesomely disturbing words for you: Sal’s pouch. DAD, PLEASE DON’T WATCH!!! (the rest of you, enjoy!)

Stick Figure Porn.
March 23, 2010 - 10:02am
Written by Rachel Fine
On this episode of The Bonus Show, Richard schools us on sex ed, Christy style. And let me tell you, only Richard Christy can make a depiction of stick figures performing odd sex acts actually grotesque. I still can’t get the images out of my head. I’m now equating stick figures with obscenely x-rated thoughts. I had a nightmare about a perverted stick figure doing unspeakable things to me last night. Thanks a lot, Richard.
So last week, many of you weighed in on the heated Sexiest Stern Staffer debate. On this episode of The Bonus Show, another title is casually tossed about that clearly requires more voting. Jason Ellis attempts to crown the Creepiest Stern Show Staffer, voting Shuli & Benjy the winners. Agree or disagree? I mean has he not met Richard, Sal, JD or Jason? Because I’m sorry, all fairly creepy in their own special way.
Also, we introduce a new segment called “Ba Ba Booey’s Mail Bag” (weird, but if you say it 5 times fast, it starts to sound like “Ba Ba Booey Smells Bad”, which, for the record, he does not. Although I still can’t look at him and not think “MY GOD, YOU’RE INFESTED!” from episode 2 of The Bonus Show where he talks about having crabs.) On a somewhat related side note, I saw Alice & Wonderland this weekend and could NOT stop thinking that Gary looks a smidge like the Cheshire Cat. In the most complimentary sense, Gary! Shit, Gary’s gonna think I see him as a smelly, creepy cat guy with crabs. Gary, for the record, I think you’re hot. There, I said it.
All this…and Pete the Asian Virgin teaches Jason Kaplan a thing or two about the ancient art of kar-a-tay. So, if a stick figure ever sexually assaults you, you’ll have a defensive move or two.
Enjoy! Rachel
