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.

I wonder what his fatality rate is.

^^A2^^

Can I pick the employee?

^^A3^^

^^A4^^

That explains so much.

FROM THE MIND OF YOUR HOST

Here's part of my strategy.

And it boils down to this.

So, I have boiled it down to two concerns.

#1: That half of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck concerns me beyond measure. 

*OSIT


#2: Climate Change

Well, that's your problem.

I'm working on my delivery as we speak.

^^A7^^

For legal reasons everything I post is a joke.

FOR AMUSEMENT ONLY


My wife found more of our honeymoon pictures...

^^B1^^

^^B2^^

The video that NASA does not want you to see!

*MNBT

^^B3^^

There is photoshop afoot.

They provided the original and I can't tell which one is weirder.

^^B4^^

I used to include little surprises like that in many of my murals.

^^B5^^

Watch closely.

Here's an enlargement of the problematic area.

And here's why it's problematic.

^^B6^^

That must be the... carpool lane.

Some of y'all have never been yelled at by a middle-aged white lady about something wildly outside your control while working in the service industry and it shows.

GET LEARNT


A single brain cell, looking for a connection.

There's an alcoholic joke in there somewhere.

^^C1^^

Is there nothing a bicycle chain won't do?

^^C2^^

^^C3^^

That's cute but what happens when the goat grows up? You don't teach it that such behavior is permissible for the same reason you don't let a puppy nip at you.

It was once my duty to provide lunch for the day several families showed up at our rented beach house. I just put a huge bag of meatballs in my crockpot and plugged it into my 110v converter in my car. They were hot when I got there and just laying out some buns, cheese, and chips I was done for the week.

^^C6^^

Skygina?

Everything reminds me of her.

^^C7^^

Poland, Ukraine soon.

*OSIT
^^C8^^

I didn't know that, but I should have. Three Dog Night sang about it decades ago.

You may listen to it if you so choose.

^^C9^^

Can you discern what is so extraordinary about this photograph?

Here's a hint:

^^C10^^

Turbine Blade

*You may have noticed that I post just about every video of these blades being transported. I find them fascinating.

^^C11^^

I once had a comment defending the ultra-wealthy by saying they broke no law. Well, that is the crux of the problem. They bribe politicians to pass laws to protect their wealth because of the Citizens United ruling that is now legal.

^^C12^^

I once took my Geology final on acid and scored the highest grade in the class. I identified the rocks by licking them.

I've found that if you tuck one part of your pant leg into your sock people expect less of you.

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT


Houdini 

It was said that he even practiced lock-picking with his toes because people often assume that one can’t use their feet to escape handcuffs.

*He looks a little like my good friend Jack.

Dying Is Easy #2:

*I do not, in fact, know that they died.

^^D2^^

I would allow the passenger seated behind me to do that. 

Why not?

David Bowie, 1983

Think of the logistical support that would require in the form of water, food, restrooms, and first aid.

Mount Fuji is unbelievably majestic

^^D5^^

We all know that there is a place where the rain stops.

But we are all amazed when we see it with our own eyes.

"Being a stupid motherfucker, of course."

OOMVO.
I believe that instead of the image of Jesus (the God-Son) there should be an image of the God-Father: you know, a wise old man with white hair, like Morgan Freeman ;-).
The thing is that Christianity has quite rigorous theoretical foundations. There is a whole field of Philosophy, Scholasticism, that applies Aristotelian logic to study The Bible (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scholasticism).
Books referenced in the OOMVO section belong to The Old Testament. While Jesus appears only in The New Testament, where he brings a “new contract” between people and God. Jesus is technically not responsible for the “old contract” of The Old Testament which is based on The Ten Commandments brought by Moses. The Trinity consists of 3 elements or 3 manifestations of the God (Father, Son and Saint Spirit) and all of them have their own duties.
But it’s not for sure. =)

Cheers,
Borys

Dear Borys, I just look at almost every civilization inventing some magic to explain the things they don't understand - and I guess that was helpful for a time. What I don't understand is that we still think our magic is true and other cultures' magic is untrue. I find it profoundly silly.

Dear Ralph,
I find it very funny, that representatives of different cultures are sure that "their magic" (or their religion) is the only true... But to be honest with you, I find it even funnier, that people think that our modern since (the way we treat it now) is significantly different from any other religious believe.

As PhD in Theoretical Cybernetics, I'm convinced that there is no structural difference between many "developed enough" religious systems (like: monotheistic, abrahamic religions) and our scientific theories (like: big bang theory, synthetic theory of evolution, etc). If you look at theories from the point of view "how many things you need to blindly believe in", it becomes more obvious. I hope you understand that, I'm not saying the Earth is 60000 years old, it's at a deeper level.

As a person who went through a series of spiritual experiences, I'm aware that the magic is real. I'm aware that all religious (including the science) are true and and false at the same time. They are true in a sense that they all are talking about the same real magic. They are all wrong in a sense that the magic they are trying to explain/define is unexplainable and nonverbalizable, so the best what they all can do is to use metaphors based on specific cultural traditions (Hebrew, Islam, Christianity, Science, Buddhism) in order to point at the magic (but never define it).

For me it is quite obvious now, but I understand how confusing it can be. For me there is no conflict between the science and religions or between any given two religions.

I didn't mean to criticise your art. I like intellectual humour. When I look at scientific memes, I always verify them scientific correctness. When I look at religious memes, I verify their theological correctness. I think it is nice to undestand the phenomenon of religions better, even if you don't believe in those religions.

Cheers,
Borys
