The Duggar Family's Used Bus Is On Sale for $84,000

Posted: 21 Apr 2011 11:13 AM PDT

Do you have $84,5oo lying around? The oldest of the Duggar clan, Josh Duggar, is selling the family’s used bus at his car lot in Arkansas. The bus was used by the family for several years and was featured on their TLC show 19 Kids and Counting. Although there’s no photo of the bus on the Champion Motorcars website, here’s the description:

This is a super nice bus with 15 bunks. It is currently not on our lot, as we have it on a lot in the Nashville area. We can arrange for you to meet and have a personal look at this bus at your conveience, just give us a call anytime! This bus has been used by the Duggar Family of TLC”s 19 Kids & Counting! for the last 3 years until they upgraded in July to a newer model. This is overall in great operating condition and it was originally used as a crew bus for a nationally known singer/performer. Prevost makes some of the world”s finest coaches and this one has the Vulcan Entertainer conversion. It is equipped with 15 bunks, one half bath, small kitchenette with microwave and coffee maker, front lounge, rear stateroom and front & rear TV/DVD systems. Chrome alloy wheels, air ride, Dual A/C – Engine Compressor and House Unit, Kubota 4cyl Diesel generator and In-Motion DirecTV Satellite. T; Call Josh today, and mention the online ad special!

It’s interesting that Josh says the bus was previously owned by a singer, because on an episode of 19 Kids and Counting his dad Jim Bob Duggar said that they bought the bus from a hockey team. How many owners has this thing had? And is $85K a reasonable price for a used bus? Do you think there’s a premium because of the fact that the bus has been on TV? And what is the bus doing in Nashville? Did they dump it there after filming, or are they hoping that another musician/performer will want to buy it? I have way too many questions about this, clearly.

Crushable Quotable: Baz Lurman Praises Blake Lively's Youth and Potential

Posted: 21 Apr 2011 09:56 AM PDT

This is a head-scratcher, because aside from Blake Lively auditioning for The Great Gatsby, we can’t think of any other time that she would have had the opportunity to socialize with Baz Luhrmann. Apparently they’re buds, though, because the Aussie director heaped glowing praise on the Gossip Girl star for Time’s 100 most influential people of the year.

“Every now and then, an actor or actress manages to somehow channel the vitality of youth—that indefinable, natural, unprocessed glamour full of possibility and filled with anticipation for an endless future. I’ve known Blake the actress, and I’ve known Blake the person, who would surprise many with her down-to-earth coolness. She makes you feel that she, and life, are going to go on forever.”

It seems rather hyperbolic to attribute all this to a young actress, especially since she’s been characterized as gratingly cheerful or as pandering to fans of her upcoming movie The Green Lantern. But then again, we don’t hang out with her at parties and know little of her personality beyond paparazzi snaps and late-night shows.

Lively is considering a role in the new Oliver Stone pic Savages, or playing Glinda the Good Witch in Oz: The Great and Powerful, for which James Franco has already nabbed the title role.

Fan Fiction: Notes From the Semi-Annual Meeting of the Bunny Mascot Union

Posted: 21 Apr 2011 09:59 AM PDT


MINUTES:

• Members present: Energizer Bunny, Nesquik Bunny, Trix Rabbit, Playboy Bunny, Easter Bunny
• Meeting called to order at 8:10 P.M. Ten minutes were allowed for snacks and immediate trips to the bathroom.
• Motion to allow Bugs Bunny into the union, finally: Motion denied, 4 to 1 (Energizer just has a thing for stuttering.)
• Vote: Baby carrots or Budweiser for the next meeting? Verdict: Budweiser.

Address by union president Trix Rabbit:

Thank you all for coming out. As you know, these meetings can be kind of boring, especially with our rabbit’s attention spans, but it’s very important that we continue to stand together. Nesquik, I know it's especially hard for you to leave the house after dark these days.

Nesquik Bunny: It's the fucking diabetes. Exhausting.

I wouldn't know. First off, I have some bad news. Frank, the rabbit from Donnie Darko has passed away. Auto-erotic asphyxiation, investigations of suicide. I hope you’ll all put aside your feelings about the film, whatever they may be, and send your condolences to Frank’s widow, Zsa Zsa Gabor.

Now, how's everybody feeling about the issue of bunny ears these days? My research shows that through our ongoing efforts, we've pretty much eradicated the practice of ruining photos with a pair of v-shaped fingers except in the demographic of out-of-touch uncles and ironic hipsters in the Brooklyn area. I think we can all live with that, yes?

Playboy:
I always kind of liked bunny ears.

You’re overcompensating. Okay, secondly, there's the ongoing issue of the misappropriated term "yoga bunny." I've been looking into pursuing legal action against certain clothing, rubber mat and core-hydrating water brands that want to present us rabbit mascots as emasculated and vapid spiritual hobbyists. However, the truth is, many of us are actually quite religious. Esther, did you have a good Passover?

Easter Bunny: Shhh! Please, please, call me Easter this close to the holiday. I think they're starting to catch on.

Anyway, I think we have a good defamation case going, especially against a particular t-shirt company that's been selling images of a bunny who’s smiling while meditating. Bunnies never fucking smile while meditating.

Energizer Bunny: A-a-amen.

Now, Playboy, you have a legal issue of your own. Would you like to update the group on your progress?

Playboy Bunny: As many of you know, I've been dealing with the problem of tattoos of my likeness for some time now. When drunken greaseballs from Orange County ink my face onto their flabby biceps, or when herpe-riddled sorority girls think I'm nothing more than a whimsical tramp stamp to hide from their daddies, well, that's contrary to the idea of the Playboy brand. Which, of course, is offering sex in an idealized form, not promoting sloppy, low-grade-coke-fueled hookups in bathroom stalls. So far, however, I've gotten nowhere. But I am working on a memoir that will hopefully shed some light on the realities of the Playboy brand. So if anyone’s got a good agent, let me know. But not Frank’s, obviously.

Thanks, Playboy and good luck with the book. Okay, as our last topic, let’s discuss the jackalope. Consensus: fuck the jackalope?

Other rabbits: Fuck the jackalope.

Good. Thank you.

Ongoing tabled items:
• Annual fundraiser. Find venue that can accommodate all 1,150 of Energizer’s children.
• Is Trix cereal actually kind of gross?
• “Fuck like bunnies”: positive or negative stereotype?
• Call Ari Emanuel’s kid’s rabbit for advice for Playboy’s book.
• Should Esther come out as Jewish?

Meeting dismissed at 8:15 P.M.

Video: Kid Fails at Michael Jackson Song, Rages at Karaoke Competition

Posted: 21 Apr 2011 08:30 AM PDT

It’s not clear if the moderators actually put in the wrong track – Michael Jackson‘s “Black or White” has the same opening guitar riff as Foreigner‘s “Hot Blooded” — or if he got started too late and was trying to cover up. Either way, this video of a college karaoke competition makes us want to give him a hug.

Cheer up, little buddy. I once used a Weird Al song for a grade-school talent show, but they announced the wrong title, so when I came out on the stage in surgical scrubs no one got the joke. (True story.)

'Teen Mom' Maci Bookout Says She's Not Engaged

Posted: 21 Apr 2011 08:22 AM PDT

Although original Teen Mom cast member Maci Bookout has said that she would like to get married and have more kids down the road, she’s denying rumors that she’s engaged to boyfriend Kyle King. Although OK! magazine quoted friends of Maci’s saying that the couple was engaged, Maci took to her Twitter to deny the rumor. As for that ring she’s supposedly been wearing? It’s a promise ring, but nothing else. While the couple may not be settling down just yet, they seem to have no problem posing for cutesy photos in Us Weekly.

14 Practical Applications of the Portal Gun

Posted: 21 Apr 2011 08:15 AM PDT

Portal 2, the long-awaited follow-up to the unexpected 2007 video game hit Portal, finally went live on Tuesday– And there was much rejoicing (yay)! A first-person shooter based not around kill count, but around puzzles, the Portal series features a unique piece of weaponry developed by Aperture Science known as Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, often shortened to “portal gun.” Unlike most guns, this gun does not fire bullets; instead, it fires portals. For those of you unfamiliar with it, here’s how it works: The gun fires portals in two colors, orange and blue. Fire one color at one surface; then fire the second color at a second surface. Once both colors are in place, the portals create a physical connection between the two different locations. Naturally, you can see the potential such technology holds. While you COULD use the portal technology to fight self-aware insane robots, there are also a variety of every-day tasks that can be made easier with the aid of a portal gun. Here’s your guide to the many practical applications of the portal gun.

  • Cleaning Those Hard-to-Reach Places
  • Fire Escape
  • Getting Things Down From High Shelves
  • Quick and Easy Potato Mashing
  • Party Trick
  • Real-Life Renactment of a Road Runner Cartoon
  • Cutting Really Long Lines
  • Instant Access to Fresh Air
  • Grabbing the Last Slice of Cake Before Anyone Else Does
  • Making a Quick Getaway
  • Picking Up Things You've Dropped
  • Bypassing the Elevator
  • Grabbing the Remote Without Leaving the Couch
  • Make-Your-Own-Thrill-Ride

Brooke Mueller, the ex-wife of Charlie Sheen is currently in rehab seeking treatment for years of drug addiction. Her twins, toddlers Bob and Max, are in the seemingly capable hands of Brooke’s folks in Palm Beach, Florida. How necessary is this arrangement? If we’re going by the intensity of Brooke’s eyes of late, we’re going to say that treatment’s a pretty good idea.

  • We're going to say they're natually intense, heightened by a substance bump.
  • Extreme eye contact.
  • Brooke's mugshot.
  • Sideways smoldering.
  • Goodness.
  • Open eyes, open mouth.
  • So intense!
  • With Charlie and the twins.
  • Staring down the camera.
