One Of My Very Own…

If the US admits that Trump's presidential campaign is a hoax then Australia will come clean about the platypus.

Alert viewer, Susan, answers two recent questions that I posed...

You can't imagine the problems I am having with my new computer. First, none of my passwords transferred from my old computer, and some of these accounts I made 15 years ago. I can't even remember my user name much less the password. My wife has been a real trooper in fixing most of the problems, but it took her, literally, days. Yet the font size problem on this blog continues. Alas.

The evidence against tipping is voluminous and damning.

It plunges workers into sub-subsistence wages, subjects woman servers to sexual harassment, encourages servers to deliver poor service to people of color (and old, young, and foreign people), incentivizes workers to take actions that harm the business (free drinks for big tippers!), and covers up a system of widespread criminal wage-fraud that lands disproportionately on the backs of workers who are already poor and marginalized.

(Is ‘ incentivizes’ a word?)

I've shown you that before, but look at the columns…

That was somebody’s idea. Some guy said, “Hey, instead of the norm columns, let’s let elephants hold it up.” And he got a raise and his wife performed oral sex on him under the table at his celebration party.

Zip Zaps wired up a bunch of servos to a voice-recognition system and taught them how to type on a mechanical typewriter, like a dozen robot fingers, and now she has a robotic dictation machine straight out of Brazil.

A phallic, macrame-foreskinned toadstool with a bouquet of putrescine and cadaverine that makes it unspeakably vile to blokes but tips the ladies over into instant orgasm.

Don’t believe that part about orgasms? Well, here is the proof.

David Milch, the famed creator of NYPD Blue and Deadwood, earned upwards of $100 million during his career. But his fondness for horse racing wiped him out. Now, according to a lawsuit, the racetrack regular has lost his homes, owes the IRS $17 million and is on a $40-a-week allowance.

I want to be his bookie.

I watched a great documentary on Netflix: The Search For Life: The Drake Equation.

You might want to look it up. I found it fascinating.

We can’t let religion off the hook when we discover life on another planet…or asteroid. The church has fought just about ever scientific discovery since...oh, forever. They have been denying life elsewhere at every turn, and when (not if) it is discovered, we can't let them fall back on their favorite ploy of "This proves that god is even more wonderful."
Bullshit. All myths must stop when we know we are not the only ones.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the stupidest woman in the world.

"Why does United States President Barack Obama have a soft spot for homosexuals? Because he was a gay hooker in the '80s," reports Mary Lou Bruner, a Republican candidate for the Texas State Board of Education.

 But wait, there's more!

"That’s how he paid for his drugs."

 Oh, please do go on…

“Climate change has nothing to do with weather or climate, it’s all about system change from capitalism (free enterprise) to Socialism-Communism. The Climate Change HOAX was Karl Marx’s idea. It took time to ‘condition’ the people so they would believe such a HOAX!”

It is thinking like that which makes the system dysfunctional. And it is bad from conservatives and liberals.

Case in point:

Whaaaat?

Rent-seekers???

Such people do thing like this...

Remember child labor laws?

These laws don’t apply to farm labor. That kid second from the end can't be over 9 or 10. At least they get to work in the shade.

I’ve been betting on NASCAR lately.

There are people who say that people only watch NASCAR to see the wrecks. These people have never bet money on the races.

Such a famous woman for nobody recognizing her.

Elizabeth Andrew Borden aka Lizzie Borden found herself at the center of one of the most infamous unsolved murders ever.

I want to believe so badly…

But calling stuff like this “proof” that aliens exist just doesn’t do it for me.

I’m also a gambler and the odds that one of those things have flown around and/or visited with humans is not all that great. That sometimes saddens me.
