January 4, 2007: Atomic Dog vehicle
Sometimes IotD chases lead to some sort of international mystery. What is that thing? In this case, the daily 20minutos.es gallery had the official caption (rude character mapping included): Quote:
Quote:
But "Atomic Dog", which the caption sort of overlooks, is a reference to... well... y'ever hear this? bow wow wow yippie yo yippie yay bow wow yippie yo yippie yay "Atomic Dog" is a George Clinton song from 1982, which never became a hit single in itself, but became one of the most sampled songs in history, just because of that bit. So is that a part of it? Yes, that's the whole point of it! Googling for atomic dog car finally resolves the mystery, with a story from the Houston Chronicle last week. Quote:
Wow. Just... wow. Head to the Chronicle story for a gallery of 8 more shots if you like. Including one of Mr. Clinton admiring the car. |

There is a lot of intense and bizarre detail on that thing, but I really like the beaded curtains idea.

It's true, we usually go for the kinder, gentler ass-kicking.

So the kids build the car, and only the teacher gets the trip to Europe? What a rip-off!
