...I Am Your Grandma would surely win this week. I really enjoy lovingly bizarre things and Jillian Mayer created just such an artifact.
I especially love the look on her face at the end of it, like she is bewildered by what just happened. It makes the video so much more delightful.
I wish I had a badge to give her for this effort, but I got lazy and didn't make one even though I said I would hand out this award from time to time.

Week 52: The Final Weekly Pageant of the Transmundane
Categories:

In lieu of a weird news story to open this feature, I have an announcement to make. I started the weekly Pageant of the Transmundane back in May of 2006, and I met some great people because of it. However, over the past year, writing this feature every weekend has been sort of draining, and it wasn't as fun as it used to be. In many ways, I felt like I was sort of phoning it in, so it is with a slightly heavy heart that I am discontinuing the Pageant of the Transmundane as a weekly feature after this post.
However, that doesn't mean that the Pageant of the Transmundane is going to disappear. Rather, I will only be awarding this prize when I feel it is warranted. If it is twice in a given week, then I will do so, but likely it won't be as prominent as it once was.
And for this final weekly dose of Transmundanity, I thought I would give the award to this chat image from Daily Dawdle.
And for this final time out, I thought I would go out with an image from my favorite Homer Simpson scene ever where he engages in a losing battle with a pitching machine at the batting cages in "Bart The Mother". It makes me laugh every time.
Every. Time.
And the closing line of the scene, delivered by Bart was the perfect topper: "Wow, you sure get a lot of balls for a quarter."
Congrats to the staff of The Daily Dawdle. Huzzah!
Now to make this final bit of fine print past tense.
The rules of this little contest: Every week I used to select a post that I had seen from the vast reaches of the blogging village and bestow it with the Homer Simpson Transmundanity Award for being one of the freakiest(in a funny way) things I'd seen or read during a 7 day period. It didn't necessarily have to have been written during that week, I just had to have encountered it. That means that if you find something interesting and repost it like a movie or whatever, if I saw it at your blog first, you got the prize. Of course, creating your own content was also a very good way to win.
This is was not a meme. This was an award that I gave out, and thus, I was not "tagging" you.

A man in Sweden robbed a bank in an animal costume and then proceeded to outrun police, two things which should have been very difficult in that attire.
This week's entry comes to us from My Funny Pictures.
In this case, it is an excellent picture featuring a number of Johnnie Walker variations.
I could have went with so many images of Homer Simpson drunk, but I thought him jumping out of a beer keg would be the funniest and most appropriate image this week.
Congrats MonkeyMan, here is your badge.

I read a story that a few people are upset that Superman renounced his American citizenship. It was about that time that I also realized the reason why Superman never ran for president: he cannot prove he is a natural born citizen of the United States. And yet Lex Luthor became president (I wonder if they asked for his birth certificate).
Anyway, this week's winning entry comes to us from Blame It On The Voices
In this case, it is a Rebecca Black Physics question.
And I thought since this is vaguely, vaguely about computers and physics, Homer looking up how to build a nuclear reactor.
Congrats. Here is your badge.

I am not going to explain this headline I encountered... I am just going to reproduce it: "Mother denies biting off boyfriend's testicles".
Ouch.
This week's winning entry comes to us from They Are Weird
In this case, it is a bar service for 2500 dollars which would totally be worth it for those who have trouble remembering things after a night of drinking.
And since this week's winning entry has to do with a night of drinking and memory loss, I thought Moe preparing a drink that would do just that for Homer would be the most appropriate this time out.
Congrats admin of They Are Weird. Here is your badge.

The town of Altoona, PA will temporarily change its name to, and I quote, "POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold" after Morgan Spurlock paid the town an unspecified amount of money which will benefit the local police department.
I guess that should give PETA more ideas about how they can get towns to change their names, even temporarily.
The winning entry for this week comes to us from a blog called Jotter of a Rotter.
In this case, it is an awesome animated gif of Gumby schooling some fools. It is epic and simple at the same time.
And since this week's winning entry has to do with a clay figure, I thought this bust of Homer made of clay (found here), would be the most appropriate thing for this event.
Congrats to Dan Berry. Here is your badge. Huzzah!

A district in Ohio has made a rather strange decision: if you show up to vote wearing apparel supporting a local high school or one of its teams, you will be forced to wear a poncho if you want to vote because of a controversial school bond issue that is being contested in the upcoming election.
So now school shirts are political speech?
This week's winning entry comes to us from Complete Nerdom.
In this case it is a series of alternate universe movie posters. I love the idea of a young Clint Eastwood as Wolverine.
And since this week's winner has to do with alternate universe casting... how about Bart as Indiana Jones and Homer as the boulder in Raiders of the Lost Ark?
Congrats to the crew at Complete Nerdom. Huzzah!

A man in Bulgaria in protesting the amount of "women's shows" on his country's national broadcaster dumped a jug of semen on the sidewalk. The word in this bizarre story that caught my eye was "jug", because that makes it sound like this demented individual had been planning this event for a very long time. Or he had kidnapped Peter North and hooked him up to a milking machine. Either way, it is very weird and disgusting.
Anyway, this week's winning entry comes to us from Kick Out!! Wrestling.
In this case, wrestling fanatic Razor played a little thought game following the release of the recent WWE All-Stars. He thought... what if someone made a role playing game like Dragon Age out of the WWE Universe. It was a blast reading it... I am sure it was a blast writing it too.
And since this week's winning entry has to do with massive RPG action, I thought Homer and Marge in the MMORPG mocking chapter from The Simpsons Game would be the most appropriate (I almost went with the "Local Man Thinks Wrestling Is Real" headline... almost).
Congrats Razor. Here's your badge.

A burgeoning French chessmaster has been implicated in cheating scandal involving a freeware chess application, mobile devices and a dude assuming particular positions in a hallway visible to the player in question.
My question is... couldn't they have just used the Cheers method?
This week's winner is simple in execution, but so hilarious. It involves one guy subtly altering the photos of a friend on Facebook, with winning results.
The winning entry comes from the blog Oli + Alex.
And since this week's winning entry has to do with photos, I thought the file photo of Homer with all the cigarettes in him mouth would best express this.
Congrats Oli. Here is your badge.

An Toledo, Ohio city councilman is getting some heat for tapping a maple tree on his front lawn and draining enough sap to make 2 gallons of maple syrup. The reason? The tree was technically on city property and thus, he needed permission to do so. Of all the things a politician can tap, a maple tree is likely the least offensive thing possible.
Anyway, this week's winning entry comes to us from urlesque.
In this case, it is a group of 20 pictures of Sad Etsy Boyfriends. It is funnier than those three words might indicate.
And since this has to do with poor schlubs wearing hats they didn't look comfortable in, I thought Homer looking rasta in a knit cap was the most appropriate image for this week's winner.
Congrats Cole. Here is your badge.

An Arizona man was arrested this week after he climbed through a residential window and became stuck in a hamper. R.Kelly is reportedly already at work writing an epic 12 part song about this event.
This week's winning entry comes to us from Techpotlight
In this case it is a youtube video theorizing what Super Mario Brothers would have been like if it had realistic sound effects.
Short. Colorful. Brilliant.
And since this week's winner has to do with reality... well, here is real Homer riding a bike.
Congrats to H. Bogard and the crew of Techspotlight. Here is your badge.

A DUI suspect in Northern Ohio made it really easy for the officer arresting him to prove that charge. Why? Well, he continued to drink while he was being arrested. I don't know about you, but that seems pretty open and shut to me (especially if it was caught on the dashboard cam).
This week's winning entry comes to us from the relatively new blog, The Mary Sue.
In this case, it is a collection of weird things they saw yesterday, but it wasn't even the full entry that won this award.
It was the first picture, of a pair of tattoos inspired by The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, that won the day.
And since this week's winner has to do with a whale, I thought Homer as the Twitter fail whale would be an awesome way to go. This graphic was made by Edwheeler.
Congrats Susana and The Mary Sue. Here is your badge.
The rules of this little contest: Every week I will be selecting one blog post that I have seen from the vast reaches of the blogging village to bestow with the Homer Simpson Transmundanity Award for being one of the freakiest(in a funny way) things I've seen or read during a 7 day period. It doesn't necessarily have to have been written during the week, I just had to have encountered it. That means that if you find something interesting and repost it like a movie or whatever, if I saw it at your blog first, you get the prize. Of course, creating your own content is also a very good way to win.
This is not a meme. This is an award that I give out, and thus, I am not "tagging" you.
Now, if you see a post that you think is worthy of this illustrious prize, just drop me a line at campybeaver@gmail.com and we'll see if we can't get your suggestion up and award-ready while giving you some credit and a link to your own blog.

The bicycling mayor of Seattle had his bike stolen. Alanis Morrissette is said to be writing a new version of Ironic just in include this real life incident.
This week's winning entry comes to us from Tasteless Yokels.
In this case, it is a series of pictures of an Evil Woody doll from Toy Story doing sinister things to other toys.
And since this week's winning entry has to do with toys, well, a Homer toy seemed to be the best image to go with.
Congrats. Here is your badge.

A boy was suspended from a New York City school for 2 days after putting a "Kick me, please" sign on the back of another student. My first thought was he is in the fourth grade and he not only used the word please on the sign, but he used a comma correctly in that statement.
This week's winning entry comes to us from My Modern Met.
In this case it is some really surreal Mongolian Pop Art. I think having the word Mongolian in front of Pop Art is surreal in and of itself.
And since this week's winning entry has to do with pop art, I thought Homer in The Scream would be most fitting.
Congrats Eugene. Here is your badge.

This week's winning entry was sent in by long time reader and friend to Culture Kills, Semaj.
His suggestion comes from the blog Fer's Forum.
In this case, it was a moment of supergeekdom involving a certain level of Star Wars fandom that has to be read to be believed.
And since this week's winning entry has to do with Star Wars, well, this image seemed perfect.
Congrats Fer. Here is your badge.

In a fit of revenge, a young lady made a picture of her model ex-boyfriend into a meme that dominates searches for his name at Google Images. Even though it is sort of creepy, I do admire the ingenuity of it.
Anyway, this week's winning entry comes to us from Little Love Monster.
In this case, artist Madéleine Flores created a wonderfully-crafted story about an indigenous person named Espiritu.
And since this week's winning entry has to do with indigenous people, I thought Homer's experiences as a missionary would be the most appropriate image.
Congrats Madéleine. Here is your badge.

OK, this one isn't funny, it is just weird. A couple from Ohio who moved is being prevented from selling their house because they owe 6 cents to the local water company. 6 cents.
This week's winning entry comes to us from All That Is Interesting
In this case, it is the actual advertisement for the casting call for audience in the Smells Like Teen Spirit video.
Since this week's winning entry has to do with Nirvana, I thought Homer's stint in a grunge band would be the most appropriate way to express that.
Congrats! Here is your badge.

Duke Nukem Forever, the dictionary picture for vaporware, has received a release date. Can it live up to almost 15 years of expectation? And more importantly, is it actually going to be released? Only time will tell.
This week's winning entry comes to us from a blog called Street Boners and TV Carnage.
Actress Brooke Smith of Silence of the Lambs and Series 7: The Contenders fame also documented the hardcore scene in New York and she submitted her photos to the site. Makes me jealous sometimes to see how adventurous some people have been in their life.
And since this week's winning entry is related to Silence of the Lambs, I thought this image would be the most appropriate display of that.
Congrats. Here is your badge.

Well, by now we've all likely read about the change to the zodiac as announced by a single person. Personally I think it is just a scam to get people to buy more of those Horoscope scrolls because people will now buy their new sign and their old one in that format.
Anyway, this week's winning entry comes to us from the warm, inviting shores of nostomanic.
In this case, it is an examination of just how warped Kids Incorporated was, and it includes some Amber dancing. And as you know, Amber dances and I respond with award-season fervor. (I secretly want to be just like Amber when I finally grow up).
And since this week's winning entry discusses the late 1980's, well, it seems that the vision of The Simpsons from that same era seems like the most appropriate thing I can post.
Congrats Amber. Here is your badge.

Well, I am using the same graphic two weeks in a row. But it is so worth it.
This week's winning entry comes to us from Itsbomb.com.
In this case, it is a mashup/performance of Queen's Don't Stop Me Now being partially recreated in 4 simultaneous screens of custom Super Mario Bros. 3 levels. It is a lot better than I am making it out to be.
Watch it.
And as I mentioned, since this is a Super Mario related item, Mario vs. Homer seems to once again be the most appropriate image.
Congrats. Here is your badge.
