This classic commercial from the 60s, some say, is actually insight into what the world will be like years later. That is today. The pirate is actually a thug with a big knife who mugs people and tries to take away their goodies. The anchor falling on the pirates head is the justice system, giving the thug a pat on the head (in this case a slap on the wrist) for his actions. The Captain is the general public, who dare not beat the hell out of the pirate, for fear of being charged with assault. The dog cutting the anchor that falls on the pirate's head is just one plain ole mean bad dog, who likes dropping things on people's heads. Maybe there is a hidden meaning there, and if there is, it's beyond the scope of even Marvin.

Marvin Marvinenlous Interactive Jockularity
Submit your home grown joke. These are jokes where the punch line is an answer. Here's the interactive part. You do not supply the answer immediately. Let other Marvinites submit an answer. In a week or so, post the answer.
Marvin will start.
Once upon a time when Ronald Regan was presiding as President of the U.S. there was a man named Edwin Meese, and he was the Attorney-General of the nation.
Edwin and the rest of the Meese's move next door to you. They are lousy neighbors. They have wild parties with the Secret Service Agents and drunken corrupt politicians, the yard is a mess, loud irritating Michael Jackson and Spears from Sears music is blaring away, and the kids throw objects at you that are over five pounds and explode upon impact.
One day you say to yourself "I -at- th--- mee--s to p--c-s" (fill in the blanks)
Now, some of you may have seen the A&E Marvin biography episode, where the answer was given. Or, depending on how old of a sock you are, you will need to have seen a certain cartoon series way way back when. The answer is muttered continuously by this cartoon feline.

Marvin Marvinenlous Knows All
Yes, Marvin The Carbon Based Unit has arrived. Marvin is not associated with monopoly's Marvin Gardens, but Marvin will accept rent if you land there. Can't pay. Its off to jail, lose your turn.
Marvin will offer tips on such fascinating topics as skydiving and parachuting from your roof or your favorite tree; Is it safe to throw rocks at low flying passenger jets, How to sneak your friends out of the penetentiary in an A&W take out bag, Where is Elvis really hanging (Marvin's tip - there's this guy at Marvin's house who says "Thank you very much" a lot, and many more timely features.
Sports features abound, such as "Incorporating body-checking into curling", "Why don't curlers use air compressors, street sweepers, Zambonie's or just blow to clean the ice instead of brooms?; "Quit sweeping and start a fighten." There will be sweeping articles - "You can broom sweep in curling if you can sweep your floor" - "What exactly do curlers sweep away?"
Marvin also delves into this mystery. Why do football players always patt each others ass?
You don't like sports? Does Marvin care? Nope! Caring is not allowed at Marvin. You can care outside of Marvin. Perhaps cruise parking lots in the summer and rescue a dog trapped in an overheated car or motorcycle (Marvin likes busting the window part of the rescue - and its legal). Can't find a dog trapped in a car or motorcycle in a parking lot? Here's a Marvin tip.
Borrow, steal or build a dog. You could also create a reasonable facsimilie. Then slide over to a parking lot, preferably with those yellow line dividers as it makes navigation easier - execute an illegal entry into the car or motorcycle - put the dog or reasonable facsimilie into the self-propelled motorized containment unit - wait a minute or two - then shout real loud.
"Look! Look! - there's a poor dog ..." - Or the alternative depending on your setup -
"Look! Look! - there's a poor reasonable facsimilie trapped by an evil motorized vehicle owner inside this sweltering aforementioned machine" - Next, bust the window, grab your dog or the reasonable facsimilie and run away quick darn fast. Then from a safe distance, watch as people in the parking lot pounce on the owner when it returns. There is a possibility of violence. Marvin does not like violence, but heck, if its there its there. There's no better way to meet new thugs. You could be in a gang before you know it.
