![]() ![]() ![]() PEEKARU
The newest member of the marsupial family is the Peekaru. This crazy new animal has a super soft fleece fur that has actually been enhanced by the consumption of plastic bottles. This new creature seems quite tame and has been know to frequent weekend youth soccer games. The Peekaru has been spotted in a variety of colors: black, gray, green, lavender and blue. The location of the pouch seems to vary from the front to the back, and taking the marsupial gene pool to the next level, the male Peekaru comes equipped with a pouch so that he too can care for his young. If you would like to check out a Peekaru in person visit TogetherBe for a list of locations.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() THE STIG
Some say he never blinks, and that he roams around the woods at night foraging for wolves... All we know is he's called The Stig. The Stig is a character on the BBC show "Top Gear", who has never spoken or removed his helmet on camera. Primarily his function on the show is running timed laps around the test track, as well as training celebrities to run laps. He has been tapped for a series of other driving duties as well, such as driving a Jaguar off an aircraft carrier. There has been much speculation as to exactly who is beneath the Stig's white racing suit. The official BBC response has long been, "We never comment on speculation as to whom or what the Stig is." But they have since identified him as racing driver Graham Hill (who is deceased), second as troubled Bank of Scotland CEO Tom McKillop and later on as Barack Obama.

Notes
The Stig is the name given to the anonymous racing driver on the BBC show Top Gear. In the show he is cast as a mysterious "tame racing driver"[1] whose identity is unknown, and who never speaks or removes his helmet on camera. Nonetheless he is fully credited as a presenter, albeit as "The Stig", alongside Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May.
The Stig's primary functions on the show are to post lap times in various cars around the Top Gear Test Track in Dunsfold Park, and to train each week's guest in setting a lap time in the Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car feature on the show. In addition the Stig carries out other driving duties when the need arises.

So the Stig is Michael Schumacher? Not sure what impact that has on his awesomeness...
reply
The Stig is touring car driver Ben Collins... allegedly. He does speak with an English accent. I'va also heard the theory that The Stig is Damon Hill, But he set a faster time in the Suzuki than Damon Hill did.
reply
Then again the whole point of The Stig is that no one really does know who The Stig is. That's why Borat and Daft Punk aren't nearly as awesome because we know who they really are.
reply
I am The Stig...prove me wrong
reply
Easy. I am The Stig.

I am The Stig. My T-shirt says so. BAM!

I got a Top Gear Father's Day cake with the Stig on it today!
Now, how many of his competitors are awesome enough to feature on Father's Day cakes? Che Guevara, Johnny Cash, the US National Library or whatever it's called? No. reply
My friend got a Father's Day cake with Che Guevera's face on it...

reply
I would really like to see a peekaru vs. snuggie vs. boyfriend pillow vs. SkyRest pillow vs. couch dress death match.
reply
and them all against mock apple pie.

Quaaaaaaaid, start the reaaaaactoorrrrrrr.
reply
If Peekaru had been billed as your very own Quatto costume, would that have earned it some awesome points?
reply
Man, I got six kids to feed. I don't have time to worry about that.
reply
I thought you said it was 5 kids....?

He's been busy.

Alright, I'm gonna go ahead and [try to] make the argument for the Peekaru. (A) I promotes bonding between parent and child. (B) It allows the child to be warmed by the parent's body heat. (C) It's got a cooler name than a "Baby Bjorn". (D) It contains the little ankle-biters so they can't run over and bother me. (E) It's like baby a transportation unit AND a straight-jacket in one.
Alright, that's about the best I can do...sorry Peekaru inventors...
reply
I thought argument D was compelling, but then I realized the peekaru only contains the kids' movement, not the sound. If it had some kind of soundproof bubble (that lets air through), I'd be all for it.

This is how the Original Stig met his demise.

The new Stig is a bit more robust...

Mock....Apple.....Pie

Over Chindogu? I don't think so.
reply
Isn't it possible to have TWO MAPs this month?
reply
Sooner or later they will battle in an epic UnAwesomeOff competition. The winner will maintain its dignity, while the other will wallow in shame, eating Spam and Mock Apple Pie for all eternity.
reply
Peekaru is far less awesome than Chindogu. Chindogu is about the spirit of inovation, which is awesome, combined with an inability to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Peekaru combines creepy with crappy. Plus it involves children, and children are inherently not awesome.
reply
I'm forced to agree with Olav on this one.
reply
Lol, alright, i see it. Peekaru kinda reminds me of a birth, but somehow everything got flipped around in there and popped out of her chest.
reply
Seriously... how is Peekaru at 2%?
Someone voted for Peekaru over a planet-destroying laser?
RUJK? ZOMG! HTML? WTF?
THIS MAKES NO SENSE!

OK, this is like that scene in Alien where the baby alien bursts out through the guy's chest except this is far more disturbing because it's an actual real life human baby.
reply
The Dude commented ( about The Stig ) on 6/5/2009
Hey, Ivan! it was actually a Jaguar that The Stig drove off an aircraft carrier. Just for the sake of accuracy.
