Spamrider of the Apocalypse

By Spamrider of the Apocalypse

Our newest member to join our cast of Lunatics!

Spamrider of the Apocalypse is just some crazy dude who contacted us out of the blue one day claiming to be a time traveler. Neither me or Steve had ever heard of him before, so we don’t know if he’s ACTUALLY crazy or what, but he’s definitely weird.

  • Think About It (Just Not Too Much)
    by Spamrider
    I know it hurts to think about it.  And thinking about it too much is definitely unhealthy.  But if you’re not careful, not thinking about it becomes a habit.  And then you’re just like them because you just don’t care anymore. So think about it.

  • A Peek Into The Future
    by Spamrider
    The Journey To HR, Part 1,389! “Fruity Pebbles?” the HR lady asked. “Fruity Pebbles!” I replied. “Fruity Pebbles?” Sean Cassidy asked. “Fruity Pebbles!” I replied. And then, just to get the point across, I replied again, “Fruity Pebbles!” Star Child Two bonked Sean Cassidy on the head as it had been continuously doing ever since his glorious magnificent arrival.  Sean Cassidy didn’t seem to mind. Jerome’s reanimated left testicle rolled over in front of us…

    Note from the Editor: Oops! Forgot to load on Sunday like we usually do. For those of you wondering what this is, Spamrider approached us and said he needed to relay information from the future to his past self. We don’t know why? But here’s this weeks entry: Smirk (n):  The smile you want to smack off somebody’s face.

  • Quote of the Day
    by Spamrider
    “Day by day, however, the machines are gaining ground upon us; day by day we are becoming more subservient to them. The upshot is simply a question of time, but that the time will come when the machines will hold the real supremacy over the world and its inhabitants is what no person of a truly philosophic mind can for a moment question.” -Samuel Butler, 1863

  • Older on the Inside
    by Spamrider
    People wonder why I look about 60 years old when I’m supposedly only 38. Well, it’s because I am about 60 years old. But I’m also only 38. It all depends how you look at it you see. So if you subtract the year I was born from the year I am writing this to determine my age then I am indeed only 38 years old. But I’ve obviously lived a lot more than 38…
  • Trapped in Bob’s Closet: The Dramatic Conclusion!
    by Spamrider
    Things have changed quite a bit here in Bob’s closet since my last report.  Somehow Bob found out about the party and now he’s started torturing us by making us listen to Billie Eilish day and night.  And night and day.  And day and night.  And night and day.  Gary and I have barely been able to get any sleep.  And Gary can’t schnizzle off anymore because Bob has installed surveillance cameras that cover the…
  • Trapped in Bob’s Closet, Part 402: Electric Boogaloo!
    by Spamrider
    So Gary Coleman threw a big party the other night, right here in Bob’s closet.  Now you may be wondering how Bob’s closet could possibly hold enough people to constitute a “party”.  Well I’m telling you Gary threw a BASH!  There had to be over 150 people in here.  In Bob’s closet.  What you may be forgetting is that Gary is a Dimension Lord.  So he just knoozled Bob’s closet so that it was bigger…
  • Trapped in Bob’s Closet: The Screenplay
    by Spamrider
    Announcer: On our last installment of Trapped in Bob’s Closet, Spamrider was able to type out a new message thanks to Don Knotts, The Professor from a real Gilligan’s Island existing in another universe where Dimension Lord Gary Coleman had previously schnizzled him from.  We now join Spamrider, Gary, and Melissa the old Chick Shit chick in Bob’s closet. Spamrider:  This cell phone charger works great, Gary!  Thanks for schnizzling Don Knotts over to make it…
  • Trapped in Bob’s Closet, Part 106
    by Spamrider
    So it turns out Gary Coleman is a Dimension Lord who can get out of Bob’s closet any time he wants and in fact comes and goes as he pleases. The old Chick Shit chick doesn’t talk much. I think she’s got shellshock from some of the things Bob did to her. I guess they don’t call it shellshock anymore. She’s got the PTSDQ. Anyway Gary Coleman schnizzled to an alternate universe where Gilligan’s Island…

    by Spamrider
    Somebody please help me. Bob has got me locked up in his closet. It’s dark and scary in here and it smells funny. In fact it smells like Bob. It smells like Bob if Bob were a truckload of sweaty gym socks and soiled underwear. Which he is. I can’t believe that son of a bitch locked me up in this closet. All for calling him a son of a bitch. And then he faked…

  • COMING SOON: The New Devils Dictionary
    by Spamrider
    Note from the editor: This week, my daughter noticed our dog making a ruckus out back and she goes out to investigate. Turns out, there was a big ugly possum out back. Don’t worry, she didn’t get hurt, because our dog is convinced that anything other than our family or himself in our backyard must be destroyed. Well, he tore up that possum real good and he was dead by the time she went out…
  • Spamrider is on Hiatus
    by Spamrider
    Please Stand By… If you’re reading this, it means The Spamrider of the Apocalypse is off in some alternate dimension, time period, or possibly just wandering through a reality that we can’t even comprehend. The ways of the Spamrider are mysterious, beyond the grasp of mere mortals like us, and thus, not to be questioned. All we can do now is wait patiently for his return… whenever that may be………………………………………………. But, a quick note: if…
  • Dear Bob
    by Spamrider
    Dear Bob, If you have received this message then that means something seriously fucked up has happened.  Again. In anticipation of this possibility I rigged up a mechanical quantum reality coherence infundibulator to funnel (aka synchro-cast) this message canister into your wife’s underwear drawer in the event of another timeline breach. If there has indeed been a timeline breach, and you are indeed reading this right now, right now being whenever and wherever you happen…
  • Zombie Routines
    by Spamrider
    So much of what we do we don’t even do. Our Zombie Routines do it for us. That is to say, much of the time we’re essentially on Autopilot. We routinely (see what I did there?) turn various basic daily life functions over to the Zombie Routines, aka the Routine Zombies. And after that the Zombies do it for us. And then we can forget all about it.  Which we do. The Routine Zombies are…

  • Good News Bad News
    by Spamrider
    So I’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is I’ve figured out why I wasn’t able to Jump in this Timeline, and also why and how I ended up here in the first place. Of course it turns out it was all your old Spamrider’s doing. Despite all his big talk, he saw what was coming and got scared shitless.  And then he figured out a way to bail out of this…
  • Beardos
    by Spamrider
    Interestingly in my old timeline it was regular Spock who had the goatee and mustache. Evil alternate universe Spock was clean shaven. At the same time almost everybody on Star Trek had a beard. Kirk had a bear, Bones had a beard, Picard had a beard. Even Uhura and Seven of Nine and Janeway had beards. The only person who never had a beard was Will Riker. They said it made him look too much…
  • The Loop Closes Itself
    by Spamrider
    I ran into Schmelnoz the Incomprehensible this week! I was drinking a Bloody Mary at a local bar when suddenly I heard this commotion.  When I saw who was at the center of it I literally couldn’t believe my eyes.  Schmelnoz had gotten drunk and was attempting to impregnate three humans at once, much to the chagrin of their husbands and wife. I quickly grabbed Schmelnoz and drug him out of the bar and back to my…
  • So Patience is a Virtue
    by Spamrider
    I just found out today that in this Timeline “Patience is a virtue” is actually a quite common expression. And I do have to say I think it’s a good one. In my timeline the expression used to be “Humility is a virtue.” Which I also thought was a good one. But you’ve got to understand what true humility really is. It’s essentially just being entirely open and honest about yourself, with yourself, and with…
  • Charlton Heston
    by Spamrider
    I was just looking up “Soylent Green” to see if it had been invented yet and I found out that in this timeline they actually made a movie out of it starring Charlton Heston. Now if that doesn’t just beat all. No matter how much I think I may have gotten used to this time/space rift thing invariably something like this comes along and throw me for a loop. In the world I remember Charlton…
  • The Future of Meat
    by Spamrider
    In the future of the timeline I remember meat was a rare commodity. Most of what you got was Meat Substitute, which was this artificial meat grown in mass quantities inside giant cow, pig, or chicken-shaped molds.  It varied in quality, and sometimes it actually wasn’t bad. But it ain’t meat. I’m not saying the Future I remember is necessarily the same as the Future we are currently heading towards. But just in case it is, you…
  • Kurt Russell
    by Spamrider
    I watched John Carpenter’s The Thing tonight.  I’ve seen it before, or at least I think I have. Great movie by the way. But that’s not why I watched it. I thought maybe seeing Kurt Russell might jar up some old memories of the things I apparently have written about here then subsequently forgotten. Nothing. But considering what I wrote about Kurt Russell, maybe that’s a good thing…

    by Spamrider
    Well done, alternate-timeline America! You’ve really gone and stepped in it this time. I really hope you’re proud of yourself. In fact, I know you are. We’ll just see how long that feeling lasts I guess. Bravo!
  • Musings on the Eve of Destruction
    by Spamrider
    You’re probably expecting me to say something about the election. It is the orange elephant in the room after all. In my old timeline we were facing the same horror shitshow. But come calamity or calm waters I figure the point is moot anyway because America has obviously lost its way somewhere along the line to have even put ourselves into this sort of situation in the first place. Again. So there you go, that’s…
  • Bob Only Knows
    by Spamrider
    So here’s the deal.  It’s apparently all out there anyway so I may as well come clean. Yes, I am a time traveler.  And I may or may not vaguely remember something about having a hitherto secret alien friend named Schmelnoz the Incomprehensible. But before now I never would have been stupid enough to write about any of that on the internet, even though I can tell at least half of what he told you…
  • Now Wait Just A Minute Here!
    by Spamrider
    Something is definitely not right. I’ve felt it for days now, but today I am sure. I just found out that fucking Cher is still alive! Which needless to say I found quite confusing.  Because in the world I remember Cher died in a tragic skiing accident sometime back in the late 1990s.  Before that she had become a politician. Also, I’ve been looking back over my past entries in this column, which is also…
  • What Phase Is This I Am In Again???
    by Spamrider
    I’m having a rare lucid moment right now so I figured I’d better post something real quick while I still can. I have no idea where it is I am going or if or when I’ll be back or if I’ll even be me anymore by the time I get there. Consider this a word to the wise before you go monkeying around with the laws of physics. Here I go again… Be seeing you!
  • The God Algorithm
    by Spamrider
    So Schmelnoz and I were hanging out drinking the other night (imagine that), and as he was passing out under my coffee table Schmelnoz kept muttering something about “The God Algorithm”. The next morning I asked him what the hell he was talking about and all he would tell me was that all the fundamental machinations of humanity are essentially being executed by quantum computer algorithms and that we have no idea the extent to…
  • The Firmata
    by Spamrider
    Nicholson Baker wrote a novel called The Firmata about a guy who could stop time. And, as most guys who could stop time would probably do, he largely just used his superpowers to take off women’s bras and panties.  But he also did all these funny little things to fuck with people, and if nothing else it’s a very entertaining, though often bordering on pornographic, book. But if you really think about it, it would…
  • Thirty Six Thousand Trillion Trillion Lumens
    by Spamrider
    That’s how much light the sun puts out. I read it on the internet so it must be true. Schmelnoz says that most of the interesting stuff happening in the universe at any given moment is happening in the wavelengths of light outside of human vision. That is to say, most of what is going on right in front of our eyes is invisible to us. And Schmelnoz says that is undoubtedly for the better…
  • Shit Sandwich
    by Spamrider
    They say when life hands you lemons, make lemonade. This always seemed sort of silly to me.  Mostly because I like lemons just fine. So what if life hands you a stinking pile of shit? What are you supposed to do then, make a shit sandwich? Funny thing is I once knew a guy who did exactly that. As a child he lived on a farm, and he had to walk to school every day. Since his family was poor…
  • Ask The Spamrider, Vol. 2
    by Spamrider
    So Bob has been wanting me to do another edition of Ask The Spamrider, the column where I answered letters from my so-called “fans”.  And God knows what Bob wants Bob gets.  Bob has this annoying way of relentlessly needling you, like a ravenous and bloodthirsty little mosquito you never can quite seem to swat.  At least he promised there would be no Doctor Who questions this time, so I guess at least that’s something.…

  • Yet Still More Shit Schmelnoz Says
    by Spamrider
    Schmelnoz once told me that the Zippo lighter is the pinnacle of man’s creation. “Think about it,” he said. Actually he probably said something more like, “Surmise Spamrider upon the following megrim…” But as usual I’m transliterating here. So he said, “Think about it.  Instant fire in a little pocket-sized indestructible metal box.  If you humans had just quit while you were ahead the entire universe would be better off right now.” And at the…
  • Time in a Beer in a Bottle
    by Spamrider
    I tried Time in a Beer in a Bottle for the first time today. As an experienced Time Traveller not to mention drunkard it didn’t really do all that much for me to be honest. I can’t really say about the guy I shared it with though. I’m still combing through the history books trying to figure that part out. The Song In Bob’s Head

    by Spamrider
    “Bene vixit, bene qui latuit.” -René Descartes (quoting Ovid) Schmelnoz the Incomprehensible says that when nobody knows who the hell you are then you can be anybody you want. Which I suppose is especially beneficial when even you don’t know who the hell you are.
  • The Turd Burglar
    by Spamrider
    So I just recently got back from my extended vacation visiting my Giant friends who dwell deep beneath the earth in the south of France. I visited them in the 27th century this time because their caverns are a lot easier to access then.  Giants basically live like forever so they’re essentially the same bunch of Giants whenever I visit them.  The only time it gets confusing is when they will refer to something which…
  • Himalayan Adventures
    by Spamrider
    I am returned. And just so everybody knows, I accidentally hit “send” too early whenever I sent that note back to Bob’s pickles.  Eggs.  Whatever. And I only had one shot. What the note should have said is, “No column this week, it is time-bound imperative that you do not publish any portion of this communication whatsoever, not even a single word or letter.  If you do, you risk causing a Time Rupture on Uranus. …
  • It is Time…
    by Bob Senitram
    This morning, I found a note by The Spamrider, behind the eggs in my fridge that just said, “No column this week, it is time.” I have no idea what that means. Perhaps he’s been recruited for some time traveling episode on another planet or perhaps he let his hair grow too long and it’s time for him to get a haircut… Who knows? -Bob S.

    In the words of another fictitional Time Traveller, “Fuck you, asshole!” No, no, no, that’s not it. It’s, “I’ll be back…”
  • Visits From Schmelnoz
    by Spamrider
    I’ve been getting fairly regular visits from Schmelnoz over the past several weeks, but it gets confusing as hell because I never know if he’s coming from the Past or from the Future. Very often neither one of us will have any idea what the other is talking about. So mostly we just drink.

    by Spamrider
    “I found myself involved in so many doubts and errors, that I was convinced I had advanced no farther in all my attempts at learning, than the discovery at every turn of my own ignorance.” -René Descartes, Discourse on the Method That right there is more than most people ever learn.
  • Aliens
    by Spamrider
    Schmelnoz the Incomprehensible at first could be described as bemused whenever he found out that us earthlings still refer to beings from other planets and star-systems as “aliens”. But when I told him that we also refer to our own kind from other countries as “aliens” his bemusement turned into shock and disgust. It isn’t often I’ve seen Schmelnoz actually get disgusted at anything.  The guy has pretty much seen it all. Or as he…
