THE 4TH ANNIVERSARY OF BUNCHOJUNK.COM
Ahhh, four years. Just think... when I started this in 2004 Robin Williams was four years younger.
And all the things that happened in the past for years! New Years 2005! New Years 2006! New Years 2007! New Years 2008! Amnesty day at the adult video store...
Oh, so many things.
Anyway, a big THANK YOU to anyone who has stuck with me for any of these 4 years. If you haven't, well look at all the things you missed.
You probably aren't even sure of how much older Robin Williams is.
Normally for the Anniversary post I put a bunch of facts together, give a look back at the year... perhaps a guest writer or two.
This year, however, I want to focus on more important things...
The 2005 John Cusack comedy Must Love Dogs.
I never saw it. But I loved the tagline: The hardest trick is making them stay.
Yeah. I don't know John Cusack, but I once saw him in the lounge of the Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard so I consider him a close personal friend.
I can imagine it's not easy to make him stay.
Diane Lane plays the titular "dog" that he falls in love with. This seems pretty stupid because she is no dog. Sure, she is a bit past her prime, but she is still hot.
John Cusack can be such a pig.
Soooo, lets head over to the official site: mustlovedogsmovie.com
-don't go to mustlovedogs.com!
It's mustlovedogsmovie.com.
No one should love dogs that much... except maybe another dog. Even then it's a bit weird.
My favorite part of the site is the photo gallery. That's where you can find this silver haired fox:
Yes, he is a man not without his charms. I don't know who he is, or if he followed the mandate to "love dogs."
Maybe he didn't and was mauled to death by a terrier as Cusack and Lane just laughed maniacally (when I say Cusack and Lane I mean John Cusack and Nathan Lane... Diane Lane has far too much class for such things.)
They also have a link on the site to tell a friend about a movie that's 3 years old:
Also, they have a link to some "Games and Activities"
The links weren't loading, and that is a shame.
I can imagine it's like Halo 3 but with a forced love of dogs.

MOVIES LIE TO ME ON BUNCHOJUNK.COM'S ANNIVERSARY
I like Hamburger: The Motion Picture:
It's a feature film about... hamburgers. Sure, it's also about Dick Butkus and his sweet ride and cheatin' ho. And it's also about a Rick James wannabe in cuffs. And, to some people, it's about man who turns into a chicken.
But mostly, it's about Hamburgers.
So is Goodburger:
And Fast Food:
Yeah, they give it to you straight.
Unfortunately, not all movies are so doggone honest.
Like Hot Dog- The Movie:
It's about SKIING! Skiing. That stupid sport thats cold and has too many letter i's in it's name.
LIAR. Or should I call you a LIIAR?
Speaking of frauds, what about Meatballs?
Man, I could go for a meatball sub right now. Instead, I get Bill Murray and a summer camp.
LIES!
And don't even get me started on Hamburger Hill.

COOKING WITH ANNETTE FUNICELLO
In honor of 4 years of wacky nonsense I decided to make a cake (really, if you add it up... it's about 2 1/2 years. I am pretty lazy.)
Then I got distracted and became obsessed with cooking like Annette Funicello.
For those who don't know, Annette was the most popular of Walt Disney's Mouseketeers and then became a pin-up queen in a series of bikini flicks.
She also knows her way around a kitchen.
This website has a trio of recipes that Annette handed down to the masses.
Annette Funicello's Peanut Banana Pudding recipe
I didn't read this one, but I bet it went something like this:
1 Banana
3 Table spoons Peanut Butter
1 bowl pudding
Add ingredients and stir. Then go cut a rug with your fab friends and Frankie Avalon.
There was also this recipe:
Annette Funicello's Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe
After a long list of ingredients the recipe tells you to do the following:
In large bowl with mixer at low speed beat together margarine, peanut butter, eggs, water and vanilla extract just until blended. Add flour mixture, beat until blended. Increase speed to medium; beat 2 minutes. Stir chocolate pieces into batter. Drop by rounded tablespoons full 3 inches apart onto un-greased cookie sheets. Flatten slightly with floured bottom of glass. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire rack.
Sounds like soooo much work. I bet the real instructions are:
In large bowl with mixer at low speed beat together margarine, peanut butter, eggs, water and vanilla extract just until blended. Get bored and tired. Call Tommy Kirk and tell him to stop by the bakery and bring you some cookies.
Finally there is:
Annette Funicello's Steak in a Bag recipe
Annette says to cook at steak in the oven in a brown paper bag. That's either brilliant or the dumbest thing I have ever heard. No wait... I once heard Lyndon Larouche explain his plan on how to fix Social Security. So, steak in a bag CAN'T be the dumbest thing I ever heard.
Yup. Steak in a bag is brilliant.
Annette says:
"You can bake steak early in the day, then bake at 425 degrees F just before serving. The steak is out of this world."
It's like eating a cow from Mars.
