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.

One Of My Very Own

NEWSY BITS

John Volanthen and Rick Stanton, the 2 British men who led the rescue operation for the Thai football team. They are universally regarded as the best cave divers in the world. They were the ones who found the boys.
Which one will Tom Hanks portray in the epic blockbuster movie next summer?
They got the boys out of the cave just in time for soccer to resume.

The rescued boys...


I never knew that most of them were identical twins.

The name change to IHOB was just a prank? Did I hear that correctly? It's actually still IHOP?

Well, I lost the Belgium game. Now I want Croatia to take it all. During the game, the Cameraman kept zooming in on some wormy bastard kid that must have been the son of somebody important. I also learned that nobody at the bar had ever heard anyone call a skinny kid a wormy bastard. Live and learn.

FIFA has pretty much put a stop to this kind of bullshit...Neymar notwithstanding.

 Weird that you can die from drinking too much water but also die from not drinking enough water. Also, you will die even drinking the right amount.

Me reassuring my wife that the threat has passed after the tornado siren stops and still clutching her huge flashlight, she asks if a tornado could ever hit the siren itself.

 In the South, a woman calling another woman hun or sweetie is not a term of endearment.

THINGS THAT IMPRESSED ME

Dog's behavior aside, I could and have watched these pool cleaners for hours.
=12=

Fire Retardant
=13=

I might not play computer games, but I would play the shit out of this.
Gameshow?
=14=

Crab Tank = Crank
Very well done.
=15=

This actually makes pretty good sense.
=16=

A rare baby dinosaur skeleton that was discovered was so intact that scientists could tell how it died.
=17=

Think of the number of evolutionary modifications it took for that final design.
=18=

I'm not sure why that would be considered advantageous.
=19=

=21=

This from a gif too long to load.
Alligator being cooked whole.
I've never seen a rotisserie turn as fast as that one. I wonder what the advantages are.

Here in South Carolina barbecue is king and it always has been. You can't throw a dead cat in this state without hitting a BBQ restaurant. Now the state health department has come out with new rules that threaten to put them out of business.
The secret to barbecuing a hog is to cook it slowly under low heat for a long, long time. Now the health department demands that you have electric smokers INDOORS in case something happens to you outdoor cookers. These things are like $8K a pop and to maintain capacity many restaurants would need several.
Then there is the stopwatch. The time the meat leaves the grill until it chopped, served or refrigerated has to be timed to the second and any violation of time limits will cost the restaurant thousands of dollars. Also, there must be sinks with hot and cold running water in every area of food preparation.
And before you ask, there has been NO ILLNESSES caused by anybody's barbecue.
Damn, I hate government sometimes.
=22=

Watch how time-lapse footage revealed the secrets of penguin huddling.
I learned something from this.
=23=

What scares me most? That the frequency of condom usage is directly proportional to one's IQ. Meaning, smart people aren't replacing themselves and stupid people are breeding like rats.
=24=

Brazil's Geography Problem
This answered many questions I've had. I suggest you watch it...if not now later.

Two things I learned this weekend:
1. I'm not too old to get in a hammock.
2. I'm too old to get out of a hammock.

PEOPLE I WOULD LIKE TO MEET IN PERSON

I want to meet the guy who dreamed this up.
=26=

I would love to meet anyone who gets turned on by Hulk titties. Just once.
=27=

I believe him.
But note the stairs. I'm assuming they are not in the wild.
=28=

I would like to know if she grew up normal.
=29=

Dear Mr. Randi, My wife apologized to me once. I didn't get it on film but it really did happen.
=30=

One of the stars of a new series I'm bingeing on is this person. I have no idea whether I should call that person he or she, or refer to her as bi, cross-dresser, transvestite or a dozen or so other names that have been thrust upon me in recent years. So let me put it this way, that person is one of my favorite characters and I admire everything about her.

PEOPLE HAVING A WORSE DAY THAN 
YOU - PROBABLY

About 9,000 stacked bourbon barrels plummeted to the ground Friday at Barton 1792 Distillery, home of the brand 1792 Bourbon. The building, which holds up to 20,000 barrels, was having a wall repaired. The collapse brought down half of the structure.
=32=

I bet he got fired for that. In my opinion, the place should have been instantly evacuated.

That would be so much funnier is it were in Saudi Arabia.

Somebody suggested that many people tape their nipples prior to a marathon to curtail chafing.
Any of you fine folk know anything about that?
=39=

I think he did that purposely. Note the last head hole in the sand before he did it.

Finally found an image that illustrates an old story about the time I and some friends walked through those 8 lanes of traffic to get to the arch and THEN found out there was a tunnel we should have used.
The entrance can be seen in the very bottom in the center.

 My wife is the worst when it comes to packing for trips. Like she knows she probably won't need 20 pairs of underwear for a 5-day trip, but what if she pees her pants twice every single day she's there?
