You guys remember Ren and Stimpy, right? Well, in this episode Stimpy invents a "happy helmet" to control Ren's mood. While Ren is wearing the helmet all Stimpy has to do is push a button to make Ren "happy." For the video click here. If you remember the show, or this specific episode you'll know Ren wasn't too happy when he finally got the helmet off... seen here.
Here's my favorite part of the article:And don't overlook potential civilian benefits. "How often have you been annoyed by people screaming into their cell phones?" Schmeisser asks. "What if instead of their Bluetooth earpiece it was a Bluetooth headpiece and their mouth is shut and there's blessed silence all around you?" Sounds like one of those rare slices of the U.S. military budget even pacifists might support.
Great. Have you ever been called by telemarketers on your cell phone? It's been happening to Sarah and I a lot lately. A number on caller id shows up from a state where you don't really know anybody, and if you answer it's a recording trying to sell you a warranty for your car or some other crap you really don't want. Let me put it to you this way to any telemarketers reading this. The only service you can sell me on the phone I might actually want to go out and find other telemarketers and do this to them.
So anyway, if they're not annoying enough now why not let them burrow straight into your brain to sell you a warranty to your piece of junk car that is rapidly approaching 200K miles. In fact let me introduce you to the new style telemarketer. Khan:
I know you guys remember this guy, and what he was up to. If you don't, read the last sentence in the second paragraph under plot. Or even easier, call Matt Boardman and say "Matt, I read this blog they talked about the Wrath of Khan, could you tell what this would have to do with having something burrow into my brain?" He'll get a real kick out of it. Yeah Monday!

I remember well the Happy Helmet. Ren and Stimpy were so funny when I was younger, now I look back and think why any adult would have watched them.
Happy Happy, Joy Joy... So, I'm going to have to call Matt Boardman. I don't remember a thing about Khan... just that he was a villian.
I just remember the worms in the ears.
that was tim by the way...oops our friend is still logged on on my cpu
Yeah the worms in the ears was not one of my happier childhood memories... plus we had glasses from Taco Bell that promoted that movie that were designed by an idiot. When you got to the bottom of the glass they had these "rings" built in that made the glass wider... and when you lowered the glass your drink went back into the rings and splashed back into your face. No wonder I'm not a Star Trek fan.
