FRIDAY #2379

One Of My Very Own...


>
When he was in the 5th grade I taught that kid who shot those people in the Charleston church. I don't remember him, which tells me he was average.
And then there's his hair.
Not one, but two, "experts" said that he must be wearing a wig since no body would cut their hair like that. 

And this unusual headline in the Huffington Post:
Reads like an Onion piece, but it's not.

And this late breaking news:
I just got home from my bar and I have bets out that the kid's sister will not get married Sunday as planned. Oddly enough, all the girls at the bar thought she would continue with her plans, and just me and a male manager thought she would not. And that, Gentle Reader, is why I describe myself in the profile as someone who will gamble on anything.

There's a Hope Solo joke in there somewhere.

Donald Trump and his son look like the type of people who buy a poor person to slaughter on purge night.

They really do don't they?

Speaking of Airplane...




I’m optimistic because every day I get a little more desperate.

This pretty much describes my Women's World Cup gambling so far...
Remember this gimp. I referenced him on Monday.

I stand in awe over the extraordinarily huge number of things that had to go right for my grandson to be born healthy. Mind boggling...
But we should all remember that there is no such thing as perfection.

Talk about your mixed messages...

 It was suggested that in any survival bag that you take a simple pencil sharpener to make fire starter with.
What a wonderful idea.

I find it so very odd that very few of the people on earth sees the humor in the fact that damn near every single person thinks that their religion is the one true religion and all the others are just stupid.
People laughing at other people's little caps, or little rugs, or funny foods, or....you get my point. But the real mystery is that it somehow never occurs to any of them that they are all wrong. If you believe that, say, 90% of the world just made up some shit to explain death and life, I suppose, then why is it almost impossible to believe that your 10% falls into the same invented primitive origin?
In a way it's like believing with all your heart that the USA is the best country the world has ever seen. Forget about all the polls of happiness, etc that show Scandinavia is a cool ass place to live, Americans just ignore all our problems. Why? That's what they were taught by their parents and shit like that is hard to break. And don't confuse strength with greatness. They are not the same thing.

Photography.
 Photographer: "I'm going to be on the roof. And I want you completely naked."
Model: "Where will I be?"
Photographer: "Okay, listen carefully..."

 There are abandoned buildings and there are abandoned buildings...
Other shots of that building showed the broken windows. I can't imagine such waste.

In Sex Ed they never mentioned how much apologizing there would be.

Undersea Communication Cable.
I've shown this before, but this time I want you to notice something...
 Do you see the blue and yellow irregularly shaped areas? What could that be?

Why don’t we all just agree that ‘ducking’ is a swear word?

You think it has to do with one's genes being past to another generation?

The trick is to use maintenence free plants.




And I haven't had to lift a finger in a long, long time. The wife piddles around out there sometimes...and that crew of Mexicans that show up twice a month with all those loud machines, but other than that it's no sweat.

 At first I thought this was fake and the skirt was pulled off with a sting or something.
Then I noticed that the skirt got snagged on the fence thing. And does anybody else find it strange that she probably wears a bathing suit smaller than that and doesn't think twice about it?

Imagine being completely naked in a room full of people who speak a different language and everyone wants to touch you. This is the life of the dog.

When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him: “Whose?”

This didn't come with a whole lot of explanation...
Can anyone help me out with that? And read the small print...it's a hoot.

If the world was but 100 people...

But comparing it to 100 people means it is exactly the same as percentages. What's the point?

 Lies I've told...


WARNING! IF YOU ARE AT ALL SENSITIVE, YOU ARE WELL ADVISED TO STOP HERE. SERIOUSLY.

Let's continue our discussion of grandfathers.
Let's not forget that these assholes had grandchildren also.
Germans today have or had grandfathers who could do some pretty awful shit.
This is Prague in May, 1945.
First they rounded up the men.
 Then they marched them out of town and mowed them down with machine guns.
 But to make sure they were dead, they did this.
The people who did that became grandfathers who passed down their...wisdom.

I thought long and hard about posting that last image, but I think it best that we are reminded of such things from time to time. I'm sorry if it haunts your dreams as it has haunted mine.

I thought "American Woman" by the Guess Who was a peculiar choice of music to honor the women's US soccer team as it competes with the world in the FIFA championship hosted by Canada. Have you read the lyrics to that piece? It's hardly complimentary to the American woman or America itself. Ironically this song was written by Burton Cummings of the Guess Who - a Canadian. The lyrics make it a better anti-America protest song than music to rally the "troops".

Re:- Prague in May, 1945...

The worlds worst case of ethnic cleansing was......

When the Germans were shipped back to Germany (or killed)
immediately after WW2. The whole of Europe was guilty of that one!

"Between 1945 and 1950, Europe witnessed the largest episode of forced migration, and perhaps the single greatest movement of population, in human history. Between 12 million and 14 million German-speaking civilians—the overwhelming majority of whom were women, old people, and children under 16—were forcibly ejected from their places of birth in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Yugoslavia, and what are today the western districts of Poland. As The New York Times noted in December 1945, the number of people the Allies proposed to transfer in just a few months was about the same as the total number of all the immigrants admitted to the United States since the beginning of the 20th century.
