The Boy left this comment about how the US coming up short in many, many areas:
"America is still the best at a lot of things. i read this great article on slate yesterday that identified 23 categories that we as a nation still stand head and shoulders above the rest in some of those categories include: cheese making (no one makes more of that than us), olympic medals (summer and winter, we still kick your ass), we have (believe it or not) the highest rate of CO2 emission reductions of any nation on earth, we have the highest worker productivity, 13 of 20 top research universities on the planet, more rollercoasters, more marine protected areas, and a few more."
Well, I guess we could play a game of "I'll see your infant mortality and raise you rollercoasters", but I'm not sure you want to go there.

This reminds me of a window display in Boston....
They had planks (boards) in each of their dozen windows. I forgot all of them, but one had photos of famous film directors ("Board of Directors"). Others had governors, cheese, and others about health and education.
So, how many can you invent?

This is the chair Lincoln was sitting in when he was shot...
Wouldn't it be great if they had a barstool where Lincoln had his last shot?
If you have any doubt that we (Americans) are dumb and getting dumber.....you haven't been paying attention.

During the war, loud noises were not encouraged...
During an all-out war there are agencies for every aspect of life. Now we are asked to make no sacrifice whatsoever.
I cried because I had no shoes, then I saw a man who had several pairs he didn't even wear. Then I wept like a child...great heaving sobs until I could hardly breathe.

Dear America,
Fuck you and all your social media friends.
My wife was so upset with the outage that she called her friends on the phone and asked them to verbally describe their breakfast to her. Such is the magnitude of the problem.
Subtitles amuse me...
Also, if you pay attention to closed caption on TV, you will discover some gems from time to time.
Don't often see closed caption? You are not hanging out in enough bars.
Reading a book about anti-gravity....found it impossible to put down.

My brother ate at a place in Alaska that did shit like this...
Their menu would say things like this:
Cheeseburger - $5
Hamburger with cheese - $4
BLT - $4
LBT - $3
Of course, the locals knew which to order.
One of my very own...
Got any idea what this is?...give it a moment before scrolling to the answer....

Freedom means drunk people can shoot off fireworks at 2 am without fear of death.
Do you think these are real people arranged like that, or some computer mumbo jumbo?
I would like to think they are real people.
America: What do you want to watch: college football, pro-football, baseball, hockey, NASCAR, NBA or one of the million stupid X-sports we've invented?
Europe: What do you want to watch; soccer or soccer?
(but as NdT tells us: On the day we reserve to tell ourselves America is great - July 4th - Europe reminds us that we suck at science)
(Dear America, Peter Higgs is English)
Last night my wife went with her friends to watch Magic Mike. This morning she bought me a gym membership.
Have you ever been sitting in a bar and had a thought that was so fucking bizarre that you looked around to make sure no one could read minds, or, god forbid, you said something aloud.
FUCK CLOTHES!
Never lived in the South? Well, this is a typical Souther teenager. Maybe now you can understand why we fuck our sisters.....
I spend more time on Netflix picking out a movie than I do watching it....TRUE!
The world used to seem incomprehensible and crazy, but then I realized that opulent sociopaths ran it. Now everything makes perfect sense.

I found out the hard way that historical re-enactors don't appreciate it when you keep shouting out who's going to win the battle and adding "Just wait....JUST WAIT!"

I have a fear of speed bumps.........but I'm slowly getting over it.

TRUE: News report stated that 30% of gay and tranny men in prison are raped.......30%.
To be honest, I thought it would be 30% for the general population and more like 156% to 2,343,344% for gays.
TRUE: Someone finally solved the Obamacare "tax/penalty" debate once and for all. They called it "A penalty imposed by the tax system."
Perfect. Now can we move on with saving our country from total collapse?
I would appreciate it very, very much.
I enjoy a glass of wine each night for it’s health benefits. The rest of the bottle helps me blog provocative and/or ambiguous statements of indeterminate truthfulness posted in order to stimulate response. It also helps with my flawless dance moves.

Got some time on your hands? Go to Google and type in "One of my very own Folio Olio". I had forgotten how funny some of the were. Hope you enjoy.
I have posts coming out on Saturdays now. Tomorrow is a mix of pretty fucking funny and pretty fucking serious....I like it.

Hi. I love your blog; I read it every day. There's one thing I really hate about it, though. It's the caption:
"If you don't get this, it's okay...it really is."
Really? Gee, thanks, asshole! I wasn't sure if it was "okay" for me not to get your dumbass joke or observation or whatever. Thank you so much for your fucking approval. Dick.
Seriously, though, that shit really comes across as condescending and generally douchey. Thought you should know.
Ralph, your work is truly part of my day. Daily, I take a break to read, relax, laugh, learn, relect, and think. Thank you- Mel
Dear Pacodog,
We here at Folio Olio aim only to be "undouchey", and any inattentiveness on our part is truly regretted.
Your concerns have been forwarded to our board of directors who are sure to give it the attention it deserves.
