Quick Tip: Intimidate the Neighbours

Quick Tip: Intimidate the Neighbours When reading the story of a couple in Harriman, Tennessee today, I was struck by one thing. Wait. That’s a lie. By about four things, but the point of today’s Quick Tip is only one of them. According to the Metro: “Officers responded to a call reporting a man on fire in Harriman, Tennessee on Tuesday, only to discover the couple severely burned and, apparently, drunk. The 62-year-old...

Funny. Now. Do it.

Funny. Now. Do it. I realise that I haven’t been funny in a while. Not that nothing funny has happened in a few months. I mean just the other day ten police officers were hurt in a clothing sale. Of course it’s not funny that people were hurt. It’s just funny why they got hurt. Short answer: cuz people are idiots. And Sarah Palin “helping” John McCain get re-elected in Arizona was pretty...

Quick Tip #6: End of Life Counselling

Quick Tip #6: End of Life Counselling Sometimes life throws you things that require some coping skills. Sometimes other people are unbelievable ass-hats with nothing better to do than stride around the internet inflicting pain and grief on others. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and just want to go back to bed. Sometimes I do just go back to bed. And sometimes, if you’re very observant, you can see that no matter what your challenges,...

Eternal Pets

Eternal Pets I ran across Eternal Earth Bound Pets and my first reaction was to laugh inappropriately, thinking the site to be a spoof or an anti-religion statement, but I have to admit, the site seems so darned earnest and their offer sincere, it’s impossible to wrap my head around their motives. They’re basically offering “Rapture Insurance” for your pets. A group of atheists have banded...

Chia Obama

Chia Obama It’s really difficult to even know how to categorise this one. But an Obama Chia Pet? Really? No matter how you feel about left v. right or crazy v. sane, a Chia Pet? These have to be the most useless gifts ever. I read about this on a Weird News site, and then googled it, and came upon the official site for the product, chia-obama.com The best part has to be this description of the product: Chia...

Impatience a virtue?

Impatience a virtue? Usually I’m all about being patient. Over the past couple of years it’s a skill I’ve worked to develop, but not always successfully. However, I read a story this week about impatience that made me giggle uncontrollably for a good ten minutes. A PASSENGER on a bus got impatient of waiting on the driver to start his shift – so drove the vehicle herself. Chen Li decided to do the...

God is a Hater (10 points)

God is a Hater (10 points) I can’t even remember how I got to the site God Hates Protesters yesterday, but this sign (BELOW…the one to the left I made myself as a tribute to the comedic genius who wrote the real one) was absolutely priceless, so I just had to share. The signs I’ve been seeing on TV shows about recent US political protests both frighten me and crack me up at the same time, which really is quite a...

In the News

I’ve found myself captivated by the Iran Elections for the past fortnight. It has everything a good story should: suspense, drama, sympathetic heroes and larger-than-life villains. Highs and lows, courage and adversity. I wish I could construct plots as compelling as this one. Now I just pray for a happy ending.

Virtually Stupid

CNN reported yesterday that a woman was held for the “virtual murder” of her “virtual” ex-spouse.  Yes, the guy dumped her online, so she logged in to his account in “Maple Story” a virtual reality world, and killed his avatar. Apparently the actual charge is something like hacking.  CNN reporters are such a bunch of drama queens.  Murder! But I think the absolute...

Getting Ready For A Woman President

Reporters keep asking, “Is American Ready For A Woman President?” And even though 92% of Americans polled by CBS say yes, dumbass journalists keep asking the question. My favourite response to this question comes from Elayne Boosler when she said, “Go To Hell. ” But then there are others who say that America isn’t ready, because somehow a person capable of running for office...
