WEDNESDAY #2089

Here's something to listen to as you scroll. Hope you enjoy.

This has been all over the internet lately...

 It is real and it is stupid.

Incoming!

Ukraine?

APC - 1; Barricade - 0

And if they have it, you know we have it...

China claims it has found a way to create a supersonic underwater vessel that could travel from China to San Francisco in less than two hours using new developments in supercavitation. This could be extremely useful for travel—but also for the development of underwater weapons. In fact, this is a military project.

The 2022 soccer World Cup taking place in the 106° heat of the Qatari summer is already a baking example of FIFA's corruption; a new study suggests heat stress will make it physically dangerous even for spectators.

Malaysia Airlines, who suffered the unprecedented and tragic loss of two jets this year, is having an understandably hard time attracting passengers; though the circumstances of the two losses do not appear to be related to negligence or anything other than terrible, awful random chance.

Google's Image Search has apparently been hacked. All queries return a line or two of normal images, followed by thousands of differently-sized versions of the image above, depicting a grisly car-crash yanked from a Ukrainian news site's coverage of the wreck.(and they did that just for kicks. Imagine what's going to happen when people just that smart want to do us real harm)

Fox pundit: large men shouldn't be described as "unarmed" even if they are unarmed

Today in racist nonsense we have Linda Chavez, failed Bush labor secretary nominee. "What is happening is really not calming racial fears but is actually enhancing them by acting as if, you know, this mantra of the unarmed black teenager shot by a white cop.

(I know many police officers and I've been told that when the shit gets dicey, the officer will strike a large man sooner than a small man; the thinking being they can survive a first strike from a small man, but not from a large man)

Knee Defender is a gadget that one can attach to the plane seat in front of you, preventing its occupant from reclining it. A man used it thus on United Flight 1462, from New Jersey to Denver, and refused to disengage it when instructed to by a flight attendant. The flight was rerouted to Chicago, and he was ejected, as was the passenger whose seat he locked, who subsequently threw a drink in his face.

We leave the front and back porch lights on at night. We also leave a TV on during the day when we are away.

You’re not being bossy if you really are the boss.

Sleeping alone is a waste of my people skills.

 Is that true?

It's called Mouth Art for a reason...

HA! I'm not falling for that again!

Finally conquered my night terrors. Once I cure my morning, afternoon, early-evening, and late-evening terrors, I'll be set.

It is one of the most iconic paintings of America's first president, George Washington. So iconic, it served as the basis for George Washington's depiction on the one dollar bill. The portrait was commissioned and finished in 1796 and given to the British Prime Minister at the time. But there's one little problem... The painting has a huge spelling error. There is a 'T' missing in the word 'States.'

Yeah, sex is cool, but have you ever had garlic bread?

It sure would have sucked for Jor-El if Krypton hadn’t exploded.

 These are called Flange Orangutangs...

Only the alpha males have this unique feature. Not only that, but they are about twice as big as the rest of the troop. When the alpha male gets too old to do his "job", he just wonders off never to be seen again. Then another male steps forward and begins to grow the flange while at the same time doubles it's size. Very mysterious.

I would buy a hamster just to see this...

ICBM…what you would say if you saw one coming.

(might have to think about that a moment)

4 year old Joseph Schleifstein, who survived the Holocaust by being kept hidden by his father, from Nazi officials inside Buchenwald concentration camp, is seen here shortly after his liberation in April, 1945 -

See anything....odd about this...

 The glass is full and they keep pouring.

This is true...

 Ladies, if you are ever caught having an affair, just tell your man that his dick is so much bigger than the other guy. I mean that.

 Bullshit.

This is a comment I got from a foreign spammer...

 (a logo new reader...)

"How does it feel to be America’s premier blow-job queen,” someone asked Monica Lewinsky at a public appearance.

"It’s hurtful and it’s insulting,” she said, “And as insulting as it is to me, it’s even more insulting to my family. I don’t actually know why this whole story became about oral sex. I don’t. It was a mutual relationship.… The fact that it did is maybe a result of a male-dominated society.”

 Want to guess what this is...

One of the best weeks of my life...

It was a beach trip with the kids sleeping in a tent in the hall. Those three grew up and all three were in the nightly poker game during my last beach trip.

Have you ever had sex while eating garlic bread?

Philip Barlow's paintings…Out of Focus

Have you ever had sex WITH garlic bread?

Who ate your bowl of sunshine this morning, thundercloud?

When I suggested to my number one advisor that shooting puny rockets (10% of which land on your own people) at Israel showed me that the Palestinians had lost touch with reality, she asked me the the guy who stood in front of the tanks in Tiananmen Square had lost touch with reality.

Desperate people take desperate actions.
