With That Damn Dog Of Your's In The Back Seat There's No Room For Jello

I was shopping around on Ebay for some cheap used prosthetics for a cooking class that I'm teaching down at the Y and I found an item whose (whose?) owner stated that it comes from a smoke free site. I'm used to seeing items that come from a smoke free home, but claiming that your listing in Ebay is smoke free is presumptuous to say the least. I blew smoke on my monitor just to prove them wrong.


There are a lot of stupid 'groups' on facebook these days. Groups allowing members to show their affinity for trivial things such as dislike buttons that don't exist, setting your alarm clock for AM instead of PM, and finding your aunt Margaret in the bath tub surrounded by pills, but I think there should be a facebook group for the crazy electro-shock mathematician in Revolutionary Road. That movie was funnier than The Hangover thanks to him.


Sometimes I'll see thing on TV that should not be. Singing, sick, or sick kids that sing should not be on TV, but what is worse that the aforementioned offenders are the shows that are so hard up to make their own content that they just show internet videos that some idiot producer thought were funny. What's even more maddening is that the videos they show are, by internet standards, ancient. Shit- they show the Numa Numa kid while Keyboard Cat is already months old. Where so these people get off find videos on the 'net and spreading them around willy nilly. The gal! Oh- wait... Meh-I'm only jealous because they're making money.



Given one hundred or so portraits to select from, those that I had selected after determining that they were 'attractive', the Face Research Demo provided me with this nonexistant woman's portrait. This is my 'perfect woman'? I don't see any dish gloves so I can't be sure.


Be forewarned- there is an leaning toward the Caucasoid persuasion on the Demo so it does not really allow for very much variety.

Cap In Trade... Pfft... My Caps Are Priceless



I'll Be At DiCo's Tonight

Gold prices are going up and now you can take full advantage!

Your dog's teats are soooo big...... Rescued dogs that have nursed pups so much that shelter managers are concerned that saggy dog boobies may turn off potential dog adopters. Boob jobs for all!

Awful Library Books. These ARE truly awful library books. Almost as bad as "Daddy Drinks Because You Cry" and this one.

Expressionist interpretation of classic video game screens.

The Internet For Beginners



Sometimes you just need one.

Look- you're already pregnant. Why not have a cock shaped body pillow?

Creeper in My Apartment. I would pee myself, I do believe!


On a final note. Pugs who ate their owners! (who were dead)...

Back In Ohio- Home of the Browns and Chain Resaurants


While driving up Wolf Ledges road on the way to ge transcripts from Akron U, I saw an Olds Cutlass similar to this with historical plates. This is the way to get away with avoiding emissions checks and plate renewals in Ohio. I wonder how the kid gets around the mileage restrictions. My grandmother had one of these in silver when I was a kid. Its silver paint eventually peeled off of the roof and hood in the way that only GMs can allow. It also had vent windows in all four of the doors. To save costs on the car it was delivered without roll down rear windows. This was a brilliant thing considering Grandma would smoke with the windows up even in the summer. That's all right though, her whistling and candies hanging off of the gear shift in a bag made everything A -OK!

I like Carhartt double kneed pants. They allow a few extra weeks without the need for long underwear and the hip pockets are handy. I do have few observations though. I can't understand why have a hammer loop at all if there is only one and it is on the left leg? I also have noted that I snag myself on protruding objects from time to time- gate latches, cabinet pulls for example. I find, considering all of the pockets and doo dads, that it is just the pant leg itself that perpetrates the offense. Never the hip pockets or the hammer loop. Strange.

Jesus and Obama Want You Back In Class


I can not explain how it was that I stumbled upon the page that I viewed that allowed me to grab this screen shot from the Finlandia University athletic section. What is that girl doing with a syringe that has anything to do with athletics? Misplaced from one of the academic pages, or do the Finlandia jocks like to experiment with the juice while playing their co-ed sporting events?

I ran into these motivating ads on facebook. I'm torn whether this mug shot man wants to teach moms new tricks, or if this is the type of man that the targeted ladies can look forward to meeting their first semester back. On the other hand, refinancing your home can be a frightening and complicated experience, so why not let this guy in aforementioned mug shot do the same job that the suits couldn't do without destroying the economy?

This Iced Tea Is Lacking In Pickle Juice. Kosher Pickle Juice.

IT was a balmy day on Mackinac today, as it has been all weekend. At some point this afternoon the mercury reached a blistering 51 degrees down on Biddle point. After the recent storms, the lake level has begun its yearly fall retreat. While the snowmobile may be ready for another winter of ice crossing, it will not be legal to operate until the 15th of November and hopefully weather conditions won't allow that to happen well into December. I like my bike.
This photo was taken on the 2nd or 3rd of November, 2009. All closed up, drained down, put to sleep while the minor internal surgery begins.

A very interesting paper craft mask of a man's own up-scaled head.

Twitter is handy for something, I'm sure, but what it is I still have yet to figure out. At least it can help me know what time it is in London.

Who would have thought that the Dodge Viper logo looks like Daffy Duck when turned upside down.

As if a photo of Salvador Dali walking his anteater out from a Paris subway tunnel wasn't fabulous enough, it can be viewed in a blog that specializes in all things anteater.

Just finished watching Australia on the Showtime. Still don't know how two guys that drive cattle in the Outback for a living can just up a steal a schooner and sail in the ocean to an island to rescue children bombed by the Japanese. At night. I call Bull Shit.

Here is a fun project an interesting artist has created. He draws six images that tell the story of famous movie and you get to guess what that movie is. I only managed about half of them.
