This is my guy to end up sitting on the Iron Throne.

How can otherwise educated people be this stupid?

PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS

Dion Diamond's one-man sit in, in Arlington VA. 6/10/1960

The guy in the back looks like a time traveler talking on his cell phone.
Seriously, growing up in Birmingham, Alabama while this was going on was an education in itself. My mother was sickly and I was more or less raised by a black woman named Hattie. I could never understand how black people could be such saints as I observed and such villains as white adults told me at the same time.
^^1^^

But has the pendulum of social justice swung too far?

Do we really want to ban every book with the word nigger in it? Do we want to eradicate every singer who ever sang a song about slavery?
I totally understand how awful slavery was, but there has always been slavery. All over the world, great societies were built by slaves. Should progressive Americans refuse to spend their tourism dollars in any country which ever had slavery? What about the African nations who had slaves.
I guess what I'm asking is - is there a statute of limitations on such things. When can we stop allowing the past to govern our present?
^^2^^

When you make a mistake there are things that will take the wind out of the sails of your distractors:
I did it. I'm sorry I did it. And I won't do it again.
Write that shit down - it works.
^^3^^

Nude drawing classes are experiences you will never ever forget.
^^4^^

Me when my number of blog hits nosedives and I have no idea why.
^^5^^

Success can be predicted by a person's willingness to have uncomfortable conversations.

INTERESTING PLACES

How wonderful and so doable in any house with stairs.
^^6^^

In Brazil, a couple planted 2 million trees in 20 years to recreate a forest.

Be like those people.
^^7^^

The first earthquake recorded on Mars

The detailed seismic activity data were obtained by the American research probe InSight, which landed on Mars in November 2018, and in December deployed a French seismometer on it. Such studies will allow a more detailed understanding of the structure of the nucleus and the internal structure of the planet.
^^8^^

A couple of casual Sunday afternoon observations:
1. The final parking maneuver was a nice touch.
2. And could someone explain to me why there is a McDonald's sign in the middle of the intersection?
^^9^^

Apparently, Jonah pulpits were once a thing.

Can you imagine at a job interview someone declaring "I believe a man was swallowed up by a big fish and was spit out unharmed days later"? Or while in a session to make design changes on a Mars rover you just blurt out "I believe in talking snakes."
How seriously would your cohorts take you after that?
Yet these are the stories many of you teach your children.
^^10^^

I don't know where that is.
^^11^^

Status: In-Transit

The work required to straighten that out exhausts me just by looking at it.
^^12^^

"It's a dirty job, but..."

Canadian firefighters seal an oil well in Kuwait after Iraqi sabotage during the Gulf War, 1991.
^^13^^

Personalized license plates are the only 100% effective way to identify twats.

OBJECTS OF NOTE

^^14^^

Pay attention.

You don't make the boards fit the house, you make the house fit the boards. And I imagine the packed sand makes excellent insulation.
^^15^^

Fiber Optic Taper

^^16^^

29th birthday

^^17^^

That tandem truck behaves just like a car towing a trailer. The only way to get it to stop vacillating is to drive faster thus pulling the trailer back into line.
^^18^^

THE PERILS OF SHOPPING ONLINE

^^19^^

Size is not the only concern.

SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY FUCKING DOLLARS?!?!

I think not.

^^20^^

Hell, moms could just use any ball pit at any McDonalds against all known diseases.

FEATS OF THE NONTYPICALS

That is one long hammer!
^^21^^

So many questions...

She seems to be a bit overdressed for that neighborhood...if she is, in fact, a she.

^^22^^

The old fake puke trick...

But what's up with her kiddie pants?
^^23^^

Cops are concerned, but not concerned enough to run off in pursuit.
^^24^^

Ill-gotten gains.

^^25^^

The combat flip-flops are a nice touch.
^^26^^

Let's take another look at this and this time try to hear his huge brass balls clanging together...

^^27^^

^^28^^

Whose side is whom on?

The gay guy at the end rocking that he-man do.
Did you spot the fat girl puking her guts out?
Is the person in the white pants male or female?
^^29^^

Every man in every culture will be thinking the exact same thing when viewing the next two images.

Would a man licking the last peanut butter out of a jar elicit the same response from women?
^^30^^

Do you remember where you were when you learned that Taco Bell was open when you are sober?

DON'T ASK ME TO EXPLAIN

In my scouring of the interweb, I came upon this image titled: Don't ask me to explain. I thought it a perfect section heading.
