About Me

My photo
I'm an artist, educator, militant anti-theist , and I write. I gamble on just about anything. And I like beer...but I love my wife. This blog contains observations from a funny old man who gets pissed off every once in a while.

That one lucky ass play cost me $25.

By the way, I have money riding on Bama.

I hate Trump, but I wouldn't trust this guy either.

My beer was frozen to the bottom of my studio fridge.

This comment yesterday and my reply:




Just because you don't give a shit, doesn't mean you're not a pussy. 19 degrees? Seriously? It was damn near -40 a couple weeks back where I live (and we liked it).

You don't hear northerners whining to dust munchers in Arizona about how hot it is when it gets into the 90's in August.

Stop your simpering, find your ascended balls and learn to drive in sleet. Sheesh.

You must have missed this part:

"You can't imagine the intensity of fuck I don't give for how cold it is where you live."

We really, really, really mean that shit.
Note: I survived -56 in Goose Bay, Labrador, but that doesn't mean I enjoyed it. If I had asked any of the 3000 troops stationed there, 100% would say they would prefer to be somewhere - ANYWHERE - else. 
And down in the South it regularly gets up to 107 in the summer. But I bitch about that also. Bitching about the weather is like a human trait for, like, EVER.

And the animal kingdom agrees with ME! These horses are let out in the snow for the first time.
"Oh hell no." - Horses probably.

So much extra water is being added into the world’s oceans from melting glaciers that the ocean floor is sinking underneath its increasing weight. This ocean floor deformation also means we have miscalculated just how much ocean levels are rising and the problem could be far worse than previously believed.

I love Olympic curling...but I never understood what the hell was going on. Well, neither do the experts. There are two schools of thoughts about why the stone does what it does, and I found it fascinating. Enjoy.

Speaking of blogs, 
I've never asked you to do anything for me. I don't ask for upvotes or any other fake internet points, but with that said, I have a favor to ask.
I would like you to take a selfie and email it to me so I can get a feel of who tunes in to FO. I swear I won't even look at your email address, but if I get enough will post the selfies unless otherwise instructed not to. So feel free to mask your face if you like, but do tell me where you are from...at least the country.
Here's mine:
And here's a reminder of my address: ralph.henry.at.folio.olio@gmail.com

There's a way to put images in the comment section, but I don't know how. If you are computer savvy enough to figure it out, your selfies could be sent in comments.
Thank you very much.

Oh, look, a selfie's selfie.

THE HUMAN FEMALE

Women have been shat upon forever.

You hear a lot about witches, but not warlocks.

3,000?

And for centuries doctors couldn't look at her private parts...like those parts are evil or something.

Then a Doctor from South Carolina more or less created gynecology. 
He even went to Russia and treated the wife of the Tsar.

I think this extremely beautiful.

While randomly scrolling I stumbled on this.
Breathtakingly beautiful.

Talk about your mixed messages.

And nowadays there seems to be a war on women's nipples but not men's. Never understood that.

I wonder if that worked for fixing whatever the hell is wrong with her.

Oobah Butler once had a job writing fake Tripadvisor restaurant reviews for £10/each, paid by restaurateurs; having learned how powerful these reviews were, he decided to turn his south London shed into the best-regarded restaurant in all of London.

A bank manager friend of mine once had his bank robbed. I asked him what caliber the gun was and he didn't know. I asked how big around the hole in the barrel was and he showed me how it appeared to him.

Watched a movie about robots that became sentient. This was a powerful scene.

Why dog shit? I thought those people ate dogs.

London's Evening Standard reports that a man burst into flames in a Haringey street before horrified onlookers, and investigators can find no cause for the fire.
Passers-by saw John Nolan, 70, ablaze in a street in Haringey in the middle of the day and attempted to put out the flames before calling police and fire crews. The former construction worker, who was originally from County Mayo in Ireland, was taken to a specialist hospital but died later. Today detectives said his death was being treated as unexplained. There were no accelerants found on his body and specialist fire investigators could find no obvious reason for Mr Nolan to catch alight.
[ Got that from Boing Boing so I think it's true. ]

Of course he does, sweetie.

This is not so much odd as prudent...

I just stood looking down on it in awe for the first many minutes.

Your phone doesn't auto correct when you're typing in all caps because it thinks you are extremely angry and doesn't want to get involved.

How big is it?
That's an adult human lying near the mouth.


And lastly a change of pace...
Any of you people out there thinking of starting a war? Think of that imagine while you are mulling it over.
Those innocents just want what you and I want: Not to be killed or injured. To raise healthy children. To work to provide for your family.
War takes that all away.

Write that shit down, y'all.

That was an absurd joke, Gentle Reader, and that's why it's in this section.

How can you get that stupid?
