NEWSY BITS...

One of my best friends took his young (early 20's) son to Vietnam...

My friend served as a door gunner there during the war. I don't know what they are talking about, but I bet it's very interesting.

A movie recommendation: "Cane Toads: The Conquest"
I know this is going to sound silly, but this documentary is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.
On a side note, Australians sound and act very much like Southern American recknecks. Don't believe me? Watch the damn movie.

Then there is "Nanking", just about as different a movie as one will likely find.
Big name stars read the diaries of Europeans in Nanking during the Japanese occupation. Chilling.

 Where people support the idea of Scotland becoming a separate country (blue = yes; red = no)

If Scotland gains its independence in the forthcoming referendum, the remainder of the United Kingdom will be known as the

“Former United Kingdom” …….or FUK.

To remind you, when a company's pay is so low that the workers qualify for food stamps...

Then the American people are subsidizing the corporation.

Simple enough. Dress a little dog up in a spider costume...

 ...but at night, it's pretty fucking freaky...

And freak people is exactly what it did...

Would I have shat myself.....ab-so-fucking-lutely.
By the way, in that last clip, they have fake human limbs wrapped up in webs hanging from the ceiling.

At first I thought this was because people were moving to other countries, but it's not....

Russia's population declined by 5% between 1992 and 2009.

The decades since the collapse of the USSR are the longest period of depopulation in Russian history, and the first peacetime loss of that scale anywhere in the world. Booze, violence, obesity, and poor standard of living alone don't account for the mortality either.

There are other parts of Eastern Europe where they drink more than Russians, Russians aren't as fat as other Europeans, and their standard of living isn't on a scale with other countries with the same level of mortality -- countries like Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Yemen. Indeed, Russian men have a shorter life expectancy than men in Ethiopia, Gambia, and Somalia, and it's getting shorter.

(they simply stopped having babies...they bought dashcams instead)

Here's the news report:

Wildly profitable companies like Neustar, Subsentio, and Yaana do the feds' dirty work for the NSA, slurping huge amounts of unconstitutionally requisitioned data out of telcos' and ISPs' data-centers in response to secret, sealed FISA warrants.

Although some ISPs have wanted to fight tooth and nail, they have not had the money to hire a top-secret cleared attorney to argue their case. Instead, they have invoked their interpretation of the First Amendment — the right to free speech — to disclose that they have received a FISA warrant, despite the secrecy and gagging clauses that come with them.

Here's the solution:

Every day the companies should release a news release that states all the things that the company is NOT doing...like spying on Americans. Then when they are served with a warrant, they just stop issuing the press release, thus informing people that they are.

You only have to watch the first few seconds of this to understand how it works, but if I owned one I wouldn't be able to keep my eyes off of it...

Brunch without booze is just a sad, late breakfast.

I found this interesting...

No tape, no glue. Just cutting and folding. Can you figure out how it was made?

Many things in today's post that I've never seen before.

Here's the first...

I remember taking my wife into the jeweler’s and told him I was looking for an engagement ring. He looked me dead in the eye and whispered, “Are you sure?”

Wow!

Back when Sci-Fi was fun...

What if, instead of Tic-Tacs, I accidentally pop a couple of Ambien?

Care to guess what's happening inside the red circle...

 Lightning hit a plane, then continued to the ground.

Speaking of....guy was photographing fireworks when...

When in doubt, never stick your finger where you wouldn’t stick your dick.

There is a whole website of things cut in half. This is scary...

Golf ball halved in trunk of tree...

This is much more simple than one would think.

First you make three cuts, all to the center...

 Then you twist the outside cut like this...

 Done.

Nowadays it’s call a bachelor’s degree because after 4 years of this shit you still can’t support a family.

God I love language...

And he probably didn't even have to buy her a drink...

Guy solves a cube WHILE juggling it...

Get a fucking job.

This is one of the damnest things I've ever seen...

Can you imagine if those things were as big as dogs?

Does anyone else ever do something so well that you never want to do it again just in case you don’t live up to expectations? 
Nah, me neither.

Good luck with that shit nowadays.
You'd find you dick stuck in some other driver's windshield wipers.

A glitch in the matrix…

Find it? Dead center.
Degenerate bastards!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

 Now look at the guy in the upper left...

The first time I see a jogger smiling, I’ll consider it.

When you think back to the time when things were simple…they weren’t.

Birthdays are like boogers.
The more you have the harder it is to breathe.

One Of My Very Own...

Got any idea why this is so efficient?

Apparently there’s life beyond the internet. 

If you happen to find it, please send a link.

Getting shit done is the easiest way to predict the future.

Is it just me?

Think about it.

This is the Toyota Hilux...the toughest truck in the world...

 These are only a few of the things they did to this one truck...

 They even put it on the roof of a building collapse...

 And it was still drivable...

Damn. I mean....DAMN!

Any of you guys from Finland know what this is about?

The eyebrow tells the tale...

Not everyone is an artist, but everyone is a fucking critic.

Photographers are all the same...

ANYTHING is a toy if you play with it.

Something no white boy can say: Chill out, homeboy.

Scientists have finally discovered why the female bites the head off the male after sex….they deserve it.

A Whole Lotta Nopin` Goin` On. Damn, Is there anything you can do here? And who in the hell is putting up teepees anyway?

How bad can a good girl get before see becomes a bad girl?

Who the fuck cares.

The only wooden toilet seat to be found in the Roman Empire has been unearthed at Vindolanda on Hadrian’s Wall....

The high water mark in New Orleans...

I was once told that if you hold a woman’s vagina up to your ear, you could hear the ocean. I’ve never had the guts to try it.

Weeks old child hearing for the first time...

That final expression is priceless.

AND THEN THERE'S THIS...
Advice for men everywhere:
I have stated previously that my wife gets some sort of perverse pleasure from lifting her blouse and showing me her breasts in some amazing places....like grocery store aisles, parking lots, etc. I have further stated that I act all embarrassed and shocked, when in fact...I like it very much. She has amazing breasts.
So here's my advice...if you come across a woman who likes to do such a thing even past the age of 60, never, ever say these words: "I've noticed you don't have to lift your blouse as high as you used to."
Just don't.
