THURSDAY #1784


A Banksy after 24 hours in New York...
 My guess is that all of it was planned.
Here's another...

A fiberglass replica of Ronald McDonald having his shoes shined by a real live boy. The sculpture will visit the sidewalk outside a different McDonalds every lunchtime for the next week.

Well, the shit has hit the fan in my home town.
Gangs are fucking murdering people....INNOCENT people!!! The Huns are at the gate. The savages are stealing, raping and murdering at will.....AND I'M SERIOUS.
Let's see what the local press has to say about it...

 (my wife is a Five Points merchant)


 Shit just got real, ya'll.

 This is my bar owner good friend (the Highland Games guy) on the front page of the newspaper.
To say he is upset over the police not curbing the gang violence would be a huge understatement. If it were up to me, I would just give this guy immunity and set him loose for a night or two.

So here, Gentle Readers, is the recommendation of the city council....CLOSE THE BARS EARLIER.
Yep, if gang members (and this has been confirmed) are running amok in your neighborhood, we should punish honest business owners by curtailing their business hours!
So, logically, if we had a rash of bank robberies, the solution would be to close the banks????
But, my argument goes, what if you force the bars to close at 1am instead of 2am, but then there are thugs killing people between midnight and 1? Do we then close the bars at midnight? No. Forcing businesses to do anything is the police throwing up their hands and admitting that the problem is too big for them to solve.
It all disgust me.

On a brighter side...
This is imgfave, a huge image site I visit daily.
Checked it today and look what I found....
Yeah! It's one of my very own from just the other day!




In the "Forrest Gump" novel, Forrest goes into space with NASA. Upon his return, he crash lands on an island full of cannibals. He only survives because he manages to beat the head cannibal at chess every day.

Also in space with him was a Orangoutang whom he taught to talk.

I so want this watch...

Every man's Kryptonite...

Two crossword clues:

Name dropper's word....nee.
Nice summer....ete.
( Ete is french for summer; Nice is a city in France )

Not that it matters, but what do you suppose that is?

Another example of people who like to see other people smile...

Just to fuck with people I meet, I sometimes ask what gender they are.



Our kitchen is rather small, so last night I asked my wife to start making beeping noises when she backs up.



My neighbor is a bit of a conspiracy nut who thinks the government is out to get him...personally. For fun I like to sneak around and point a laser pointer in his windows from time to time.



"I said WHOA DAMNIT!"

I'm about one dumbass away from a complete melt down.



This guy's foot fell asleep...
 I find stuff like that hilarious...and have watched that one a dozen times at least. And remember, he's in front of tens of thousands of people....and still has a job to do.

Do. Not. Go. Near. The. Baby.

Lifting boats up and onto the canal...

I love language...

I just wish young women realized that mammogramming your boobs is more important than Instagramming them.


The ultimate wingman...

You can tell that America is obese when the scariest thing we have right now is called Slender Man.




Sometimes a thought pops in my head,
and I'm like,
"Well, this shouldn't be said out loud."
But then I say it anyway,
because I'm an idiot,
and my wife just gives me a a look like,
"I'm going to pretend that didn't happen."
And I appreciate that.


Get it?
 ...it has to do with nuts.

Shit you find on the internet...
WTF?!

Concerned about your looks? Have I got an idea for you.

Audition for all the ugly roles in movies because if you get the part you're in a movie, which is cool; but if you don't get the part, it means that you're not ugly enough for it, which is also cool.


I smoked crack once and it's not even in my top five most shameful moments.





This is the way I look when my wife stands between me and the TV during a football game and tries to talk to me...
 Note, subliminal "move over" head bob.


It's only S&M if both parties enjoy it. 

Otherwise it's just called being an asshole.


I know you've all heard it, but here it goes anyway.
Groucho had a woman on his show who stated she had 16 children. He asked how that could happened and she said, "I love my husband."
He said, "I love my cigar, too, but I take it out of my mouth sometimes." 

And this ended just as I hoped it would...
I don't think the black guy even dropped his burger.
BTW: I'm not a violent man, but if I saw someone do that to one of my daughters, I would have tried to kill him.

 Women's feet. I like women's feet.

I am putting together a whole post on poses models are asked to strike. This one didn't make the cut...

If you were aiming for mediocre, you totally nailed it.



You think this motherfucker has a team of writers to come up with all these deep thoughts bullshit?
Or more likely, some teenager in his mother's basement makes that shit up and just credits the Dalai Lama.

Speaking of....

Here's another deep thought I ran across today:
Your body is the house you grew up in.
How dare you try to burn it to the ground.
What the fuck does that even mean?


Bravo!

Sometimes I use big words I don't fully understand in an effor to make myself seem more photosynthesis.


[ the moon is in the photo taken from the moon ]


Oops, indeed...

Wouldn't you think that every casket would come with a lifetime warranty?



Almost everything gets attributed to Oscar Wilde eventually.


 Get it?*

*Big Whoop

In the moon picture, shouldn't the flag be hanging, maybe at an angle. Doesn't seem to me like it should be damn near pulled taught.

No.
The flag was attached to rods at the top and side.
Any time you see brackets like this in my blog...[ ], you need to highlight between and that will give you the answer. You see, I change the font of the answer to white and it will only show up when highlighted.
Anyway, the photograph was taken from the moon, yet there is the moon in the sky.
