They have teenagers dumping shampoo, hair gel and conditioners from their purses and backpacks. They have people tossing out their contact lens solution!!!

What they aren't doing is mining the database which contains the name and salient details of every Muslim man woman and child in the free world (a database I assure you exists), and demanding that every one of these potential jihadists be subjected to the same waiting period to buy a plane ticket as most U.S. citizens have to endure before purchasing a handgun.

  • I be intelligent (IQ tested at 145 when ah' wuz some child, which be 3 standard deviashuns above da damn mean -- higha' dan 99.85% uh de populashun. Even if I've gotsten dumba' as I've aged I'm probably still at least some 130, which be higha' dan 97.5% uh de populashun.)
  • I be educated (whereas 77% uh American honky chicks do not gots bachelo's degrees)
  • I gots mah' financial shit togeda' (no debt, puh'fect credit histo'y, 6+ monds livin' 'espenses saved, adequate insurance, self employed)
  • I gots some strong libido and love havin' sex (my lova' *never* gots'ta beg, unless it's fo' me t'let him dig some sleep! Right on!)
  • Most uh my interests tend t'be mo'e popular wid dudes dan honky chicks: science ficshun, libertarianism, bloggin', politics, economics, guns, gamblin', etc. Co' got d' beat!

Given dat self-improvement be an ongoin' project uh mine dis list gots'ta continue t'grow (I'm currently wo'kin' on addin' bilin'ual, real physically fit, well-traveled, higha' income, and fantastic cook t'de list).

"Over and over and over we do this, just as if we were really so stupid as to not realize how ineffectual it is. Nobody is that stupid. Our ineffectuality is as plain as day. Deep in our hearts we know it is not stupidity that holds us back. It is cowardice. We are too cowardly to engage in the only activities that could actually put an end to imperialism, strikes, sabotage and open rebellion. That stuff is dangerous. So we play it safe and merely pretend to be in opposition. We make a lot of noise. We delude ourselves into believing we are making a difference. We go home feeling self righteous. Nothing changes.

RENO, Nev. - Presidential son Jack Carter easily won the Democratic primary to challenge U.S. Sen. John Ensign, while Nevada voters set up an intriguing governor's race and delivered a razor-thin victory to a GOP candidate vying for an open U.S. House seat.

Former President Carter's son easily advanced to the November general election, drawing 78 percent of the vote in Tuesday's Democratic primary.

Here's to your "Cat Day".
And here's the ony cat I can really tolerate:



Speaking Of Dead Kittens

The weekly poker game was being held at little Johnnys house and he was being a regular problem, he would call out the cards the guys held and sneak into the snacks and beer until Uncle Clyde had enough.

Clyde took little Johnny by the hand and led him out of the room.

Clyde came back alone and things settled down and the poker games were going along nicely.

Finally after a couple of hours, Johnny's dad asked Clyde, what did you do with Johnny?

Clyde replied, nothin much, I just showed him how to jack off.

[...]
Now almost 40 days into her fast supporting war resisters and their families, Sheehan, though weak, announced that she is offering land she bought in Crawford near Bush's ranch as a refuge for U.S. troops who desert to resist the war in Iraq.
[...]
Hmm. It would make the deserters easier to find.

Huh? Whuzzat?

I was first directed to this story by Mark, then I saw it again on Fark. I guess I just can't let it slip by without throwing my two cents in.

Metrosexual? Retrosexual? Menaissance? What the fuck is this all about?

These tags people in the media - be it news, fashion rags, some sort of gendered style magazines - are hanging on men to ease them into some sort of classification, for what I think is their own personal comfort or pleasure, or let's just get to the real meat here, to sell clothers, perfume, whatever.

Most fashion magazines don't hold back. You're a fag - buy these clothes.
Others appeal to the 'men' that read them a different way, making them think they're not really gay, calling them 'metrosexual', and getting them to - well, buy the same clothes and shit under a different pretense. One that makes them think they're still stylin', up-to-date, pimp, whateverthefuck the latest phrase for looking like you know how to dress yourself is, while convincing them they're not gay, they just want to look that way.

Real men don't give a fuck about this. Real men are just that - real men. They go about their day, earn their living, do the best they can, and go home to a wife or significant other, who may or may not have also been doing the same.
Depending on their job, a real man may have worn nice clothes - which may or may or may not have matched, a several hundred dollar or more suit, or maybe ratty old jeans, a T-shirt, and gloves. Whatever. Clothes don't make the man.

One way or the other, a real man don't give a shit if he is metrosexual or retrosexual. On top of that, he doesn't give a shit if other people think he is in one of those categories. In fact, most real men don't even know those categories exist.

A real man however will still open a door for a woman, and offer up his seat on the bus, in line at the resaurant or wherever. And chances are, a real woman will accept the offer. And she will be gracious about it too. If she don't, well she's a bitch. Women's Lib, Equality, whatever you want to call it, a real woman appreciates this.
And any man that lets himself be molded or stomped on that way ain't a real man to start with. There's a difference between caring about someone else and being a sissy. And it seems the sissification factor is way to prevelant these days.

I for one, have always been - for the most part - a gentleman, and will continue to be that way. I will open a door and offer up a seat. I will not read GQ, or try to buy the latest fashions. Fuck that. Nor will I give a shit what you classify me as. If you're that shallow, I don't want your company.

SUCKERS!

Remember this the next time you stop at 7-Eleven, and think you should fill your tank with Citgo gasoline.

Personally, I think we shouldn't be patronizing 7-Elevens at all, by virtue of them selling that gas in the first place. Franchisees don't have a choice in what gas the corporation tells them to sell, but if we didn't buy it, they wouldn't sell it.

EVERYTHING HAS A GENDER

You may not know this but many nonliving things have a gender...

  • Ziploc Bags are Male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.
  • Copiers are Female, because once turned off; it takes a while to warm them up again. It's an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.
  • A Tire is Male, because it goes bald and it's often over-inflated.
  • A Hot Air Balloon is Male, because, to get it to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under it, and of course, there's the hot air part.
  • Sponges are Female, because they're soft, squeezable and retain water.
  • A Web Page is Female, because it's always getting hit on.
  • A Subway is Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up.
  • An Hourglass is Female, because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.
  • A Hammer is Male , because it hasn't changed much over the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around.
  • A Remote Control is Female. Had you fooled! You thought it'd be male , didn't you? But consider this - it gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying!

Lohan, whose screen credits include Freaky Friday,Mean Girls and the upcoming Georgia Rule, says she hoped to emulate Marilyn Monroe, who performed shows for about 100,000 troops stationed in Korea in 1954.

'It's so amazing seeing that one woman just going somewhere, this beautiful sex kitten, who's basically a pinup, which is what I've always aspired to be,' Lohan tells the magazine, adding that she would prepare for her trip to Iraq by taking shooting lessons with her security guard.

From HistoryChannel.com:
1892 Lizzie Borden took an axe . . .

Andrew and Abby Borden, elderly residents of Fall River, Massachusetts, are found bludgeoned to death in their home. Lying in a pool of blood on the living room couch, Andrew's face had been nearly split in two. Abby was found upstairs with her head smashed to pieces.

The Bordens, who were considerably wealthy, lived with their two unmarried daughters, Emma and Lizzie. Since Lizzie was the only other person besides the housekeeper who was present when the bodies were found, suspicion soon fell upon her.
And the famous jingle was born:
Lizzie Borden took an axe,
And gave her mother forty whacks;
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.

As some of you know, I fucking hate cats.
They - for the most part, are not pets. They are occupants.
Most cats just exist. They wait around for dinner, scratch around in a filthy box, then climb up on your lap when they want you to pet them, after they've walked all over the kitchen counters with their shit filled paws. They don't come near you when YOU want to pet them, just when THEY want to be petted.

Of course, there are cat lovers out there who will disagree, who will point out just how loving and friendly their cats are, how they make great pets, blah blah blah.
Those are the exception, and more power to you. But you can keep your stupid cat.

However, I do like cats when I see them dragging a freshly captured pigeon around, like I did this morning. I despise those creatures more than cats.

Crews found Franklin Johnson, 44, and Glen Edelman, 35, Monday evening, a few hours after family members reported them missing.

They were treated at a hospital and released.

The rescuers traced them by following the fumes from a fire the two had set after their flashlight failed as they hunkered down in the mine, authorities said. An expert said they were lucky they didn't set off an explosion or suffocate themselves.
[...]
The stupidity of some people just amazes me.

First of all, these brainiacs snuck into an abandoned mine. That's stupid enough. Why? First, there's no ventilation. They could have died from Black Damp, which is absence of oxygen. Coal absorbs oxygen as it is exposed and releases carbon dioxide, so that builds up.
Next, there's always roof fall. There has been no stabilization of the roof since the mine was closed in 1993.
Then the dumb asses lit a fire when their flashlight quit. They're lucky there was no buildup of methane, or they would have blown themselves right out of that mine. Not to mention, it was a fire. In a COAL mine. Just so you know, coal burns. Besides the entire mine catching on fire, they were once again, depriving themselves of oxygen.
I don't know how those idiots llived, but someone or something was looking out for them.

1941 The Jeep is born
Now that was an invention. Nobel proze worthy. Of course it has mutated into an overpriced piece of shit SUV now, but back in the day, is was a rather versatile vehicle.

And now we have entertainment:
SHANE! COME BACK!
1953 Shane released by Paramount
Meh, it was an okay movie.

But on teevee a few years later, we got this:
1971 Sonny and Cher debuts
They taught the world how to degrade and belittle each other, how to flip the hair over the shoulder in the most casual fashion, and how not to sing and act.

Ahhh, the memories.

Spam Subject of the Day

"enormous clotheshorse"
That's a new name for it.
