A baby of a gifted scientists on the doomed planet Pognarma, Captain Wizard Monkey Mark 3 was sent to Earth by his parents to ensure their legacy. But instead of using his powers to make his parents proud he derped.

It’s Desert Bus’ 10th year:

His first memory of Desert Bus:
Driving down from Nanaimo to bring cookies to my friends that were doing this crazy thing in their living room. Not wanting to leave and then watching the stream on my phone as my wife drove me back home late that night.

There were all kinds of things going down today on Meme shift. Let’s break it down!

0266_002_UncutSOIRares

We had some goooooood times with our live auction for an Uncut Sheet of Battle for Zendikar Rares/Mythics, raising over $4000.00 dollars.

We hit $420,000.00 for the year. So Kathleen asked us to celebrate with some Dank Memes. We’ve fallen, and we can’t whaddddddddup!

Tally went Goth earlier in the week, so it’s only fair that Kathleen went happy and upbeat. Between MMMbop and Call Me Maybe, Kaitee<3 took over for Kathleen in the driver chair.

Look at how relaxed this man is! Penn Jillette called in and in typical Penn fashion gave us a whole bunch of goodies to pass on to our chat and raise money for Child’s Play. Penn AND Teller are also making a very generous personal donation to Child’s Play. Thanks Penn!

NOTHING HAPPENED TO JORDAN

NOTHING….you can go find the GIF’s…

We had one of our resident bloggers, Mike “IQ2000” take us through a round of Trivia. The Pit Crew team was unhappy with the loss, but fun was had by the whole crew.
