FOLIO OLIO: MONDAY #1878

Black rhino hunt for money. I was outraged until I found out the facts. I suggest to do a little research.

Maybe we should have used drones to win this one too.

A nomination classic...

This kind of looks like me in a Santa hat...

It's actually a print made with an elephant's trunk. I found out tonight that one of my bartenders also works at the zoo and every time they have to put an animal to sleep for medical stuff, they make as many of these as they can....tiger prints, etc. They DO NOT sell these. They are considered too precious to sell. I am honored to have one.

Lion given frozen blood in heat of Australia...

Left: a photo taken 3528 days after the Opportunity rover arrival to Mars. Right: the exact same spot 12 Mars days later. Notice the difference? NASA JPL scientists did too: "It's about the size of a jelly doughnut. It was a total surprise, we were like 'wait a second, that wasn't there before, it can't be right. Oh my god! It wasn't there before!' We were absolutely startled."

In fact, gun deaths have decreased since 2002...look it up.

My next door neighbor ate brunch with my wife and I...

I HAD to eat there...fried chicken and waffles...

Never seen teams' strengths and weaknesses illustrated this way....I like it...

One of my nephews spent a week in Germany and this was his bed...and he's a big boy...

Give this a moment...

It's Mona Lisa's eye's. I like it. This person stated that they were not very creative, so they went to a tattoo artist who was. I STRONGLY urge the rest of you to allow the artist to come up with something unique. A tattoo that is just one in ten million is a waste of your skin.

The most annoying person to take on a roadtrip? Stephen Hawking, cause you would never know if it was him talking or the GPS.

"Gravity" filmed underwater...

I suspected this, but wondered about the absence of bubble...which I now think they just erased.

My wife may not be Wonder Woman, but she does things that make me wonder.

Scars of underground nuke tests...

New research found that having a drink every day can hurt your memory....or as that's also know..."the point".

Nothing in the world is friendlier than a wet dog.

This tells the whole story if you will just give yourself time to decipher the clues...

OOMVO...

The wife has been visiting her mother for a couple of days and I am really enjoying my total lack of adult supervision. I just had Fruit Roll-Ups for dinner....at a strip club.

I told my wife that pretending not to be bored the whole time does not constitute role-playing.

Uncle Ralph says...

You know who I feel sorry for? All those people who immigrated to America during the decline of our empire.

Hell yes! As a matter of fact, I'd touch myself IN hell.

It is with great pride that I will admit that a young woman showed me the most beautiful belly button in the world. I will take that image to the grave...and I never thanked her.

I understand having to cull their numbers or we would soon be overrun. I understand eating the meat...

But I don't understand looking at this image and the first thought you have is, "Boy, I wish I had my gun."

The NFL has come out with it's new anti-concussion equipment...

What do shaved armpits have to do with pedophilia?

I don't always look at the driver in the car next to me, but when I do they look back....what's up with that?

Give this a moment...

Don't let anyone with a bad mustache tell you shit about life.

"If the people in horror movies listened to me, they'd still be alive."
I read that online, but it got me thinking about the novels I've written. I never, ever wanted any of my characters doing anything really stupid. It took a lot of work, but I think I succeeded.

Why the fuck is this man smiling?

I've been so poor that I rubbed cologne from magazines on my shirt, and when people said, "Oh, you smell good, what is that?" I would say, "Page 5."

A black woman was asked why 25% of young black women were unemployed...

Without hesitation she said, "Racism."

I would think the fact that high percentage of black births to unwed mothers would at least enter the conversation.

I will repeat: I have never seen a poor person who did not make some very serious bad decisions in their life...dropping out of school, getting pregnant, committing a crime, etc. I didn't make them do that.
