One Of My Very Own

Think that's farfetched? Dig this...

More evidence that the world is irredeemably insane:

The star of a Ukrainian TV show who pretended to be the actual president who solved all the country's problems was elected to the ACTUAL presidency with a 73% landslide.

Launching research rockets through Aurora Borealis

Several sounding rockets were launched from the Andoya Space Center in Norway as part of NASA's 'AZURE' program to study Aurora Borealis, Solar wind and the ionosphere.

And here are the Nigerians preparing for their own launch...

^^3^^

I find that amazing.
^^4^^

My wife eats string cheese by just biting out of it. If I'm found dead, you know who did it.

READ 'EM AND SMILE...OR THINK...I REALLY DON'T CARE

Reading material you may have missed...

^^5^^

This seems like a terrible question.

Floor? Favorite? Flag? Flashcards? Flower? Facial Tissue? Fractal Poster? Fonics Book? Fuck Buddy? Fucktard?

^^6^^

I would have written "Holy fucking shit, Y'all!"
^^7^^

^^8^^

But when you have the power of a monarchy you get to shape the narrative any way you choose.

^^9^^

You can tell a lot about a man by how long it takes him to comment on gas prices when you arrive in a different city.

PEOPLE DOING THINGS I CAN'T OR WON'T DO

^^10^^

In America, those little sticks would be stolen within the first hour.
^^11^^

Can you spell overachiever, children?

Jesus, dude, leave some pussy for the rest of us!

Fool. But don't her dress fit nice and the K-Mart "fashion" boots are a nice touch.
^^14^^

Easily predictable.

MILITARY MATTERS

I actually knew a guy who flew a helicopter for the National Guard and back then that was the equivalent of being a doctor at the VA...competence not required. Anyway, I asked him about how he figured out how to navigate from one city to another and he said he just followed the highways. That looks like this pilot is doing the same because of the fog.

And...
Welcome to annual Thailand military draft.

^^16^^

MOVIES
I never remembered that this guy was in Dune...

And this movie was about the first visitors to the moon finding a Union Jack already there.

^^17^^

Whenever anything breaks for any reason I always say "They don't make 'em like they used to."

PLACES OF INTEREST

Since business meetings are so universally hated, why not make them a little more fun?

^^18^^

This tea house was built around 1502.

That is only 10 years after my whole damn continent was "discovered."
^^19^^

Said to be a "Tree Mansion."

But somebody else said it was used in a movie. I just thought it a pretty cool structure...or it was in its heyday.
^^20^^

The #Trashbag Challenge is coming along famously.

And I'm proud of each and every one of them.
^^21^^

A built-in bench hides a boulder that the contractor just built the house around.

That looks exactly like something I would do.
^^22^^

If you say "No your other right" when someone mistakes left for right, please stop doing it.

OBJECTS OF INTEREST

Want to guess what these are?

Please don't guess plain matches, you are better than that.

Brothel timers with strike tips. The candle burns down you pay the lady, put on your pants, and leave.
^^23^^

This was called a chess set for poor people.

But I think the ace and the ten should be reversed.
The pointed ace looks like the bishop...

And the number ten and its stack of suit indicators look more like a castle.

^^24^^

This intrigued me so much I ran it through Google image search but came up empty.

Could somebody help me out? If you email me or leave it in the comments section, be sure to use the item number 25.
^^25^^

Kentucky's basketball’s logo looks like two birds having sex.

Look at it sideways. Ha!
^^26^^

VEHICLES OF NOTE
I have no information on this...

But the body is made of VW hoods and trunks among other things.
^^27^^

Stock Toyota pickup

Impressive. And from the look of that "road", they do that often.
^^28^^

Something you don't see every damn day...

^^29^^

I love stuff like this...

^^30^^

That can't be good.
^^31^^

^^32^^

Stock images are a hoot.

Can anyone think of any conceivable scenario where anyone would use that image...besides a humor blog?
^^33^^

I think that people who say "What's the damage?" before paying the bill should be penalized a surcharged.

ANIMALS OF NOTE

^^34^^

Imagine its boredom...

And the leopard's distant cousin took the home of its latest victims.

How cute.
^^35^^

I have wondered what the back story was on making this necessary.

Come to find out, the whale shark was caught illegally and the culprits ran off abandoning it on the pier. Authorities are attempting to save it.
^^36^^

Speaking of poachers...

^^37^^

This pod of beluga whales took in a lonely narwhal into its group.

I wonder how often that happens.

Then there is the human in the wrong neighborhood...

I think it is stuck.
^^38^^

Finnish border patrol dogs queued for their meals.

They wait patiently while holding their empty bowls in their mouths.
^^39^^

I could get in a lot of trouble for telling you this but actually the lollipops they give children after the vaccines are where they hide all the toxins.
