THE STUPID AND/OR INEPT

Many times when I put my daily main section together I throw in some oldie but goodies. This is todays.

 That look tells you he could kill the guy if he wanted to.

^^A1^^

What do you suppose was on his mind? It certainly wasn't highway safety. 
^^A2^^

Darwin award goes to...

Special Olympics?
^^A4^^

This PETA ad looks like they had a threesome with a chicken and it blew their mind.

How could anyone think that ad was a good idea? 
^^A5^^

Another bear/human encounter that you won't believe...

And that guy looks like a hunter who should have known better.

Shamans try to summon rain on Olkhon Island in Irkutsk Region, Russia on August 4, 2019. Forty shamans of the Irkutsk Region, Buryatia, and Transbaikal Territory gather on the island to summon rain to battle the Siberian wildfires.

 Statistically, the whole world recognizes the futility of rain chants. It is so Neanderthal as to be laughable.
Yet those same people do shit like this and call it rational...

"Oh, you are in distress? Let me telepathically communicate with the creator of the universe and discuss your woes with him.
^^A7^^

Not one, not two, but three drops...

I'm betting she's a day drinker.
That's why I always install a shelve beside the door I use most often...true.

Her: One day you'll regret this!

Me: Way ahead of ya.

LIFE IN THESE UNITED STATES

Now that I have stopped drinking, my ride home from the bar is absent the former fear of being charged with a DWI. I never realized how much I worried about it until the pressure was off.

We literally stole Texas from Mexico after they were nice enough to let our settlers move on their land. Oh well.
^^B2^^

Post-WW1 portrait

The US seems to enjoy war. I read a stat that since our inception we have only had like 23 years without a war somewhere. In modern times we like to conduct multiple wars at once.
^^B3^^

Today this man would be called a Socialist.

Can we all just stop using words that have no meaning anymore other than what one group or another want them to mean?
^^B4^^

 ^^B5^^

I know someone - I won't tell you her name but I'm married to her - who spends WAY too much time in the checkout. 
^^B6^^

 I researched the shit out of that and I'm still not sure if it was the same Robert Gray.

But the point remains - every generation needs a boogieman. Today's boogieman is video games...among others.
^^B7^^

If this is an example of modern video games, I just don't see the problem...

And...

I only lick people on the street when I need them to get out of my personal space.

S.T.E.M. MATTERS

This thing indicates if the parcel has been excessively tilted during transport.

The simpler the solution the better I like it.

 Postal worker cooks steak on his truck's dashboard to "showcase" inhumane working conditions during extreme heat.

None of their trucks are air-conditioned. And down here it can be 107 degrees. Think about that when Christmas rolls around and you are thinking about a gift for your mail carrier.
^^C3^^

Happy 2 Year Birthday to this McDonald’s Chicken Nugget.

How can this be? Seriously, what do they put in that shit?

A little research and I found out they have removed ALL artificial preservatives, but I got shut out of the site before I could shut down my adblocker.
^^C4^^

I am in awe of such things...

^^C5^^

When you have a bigger beak act like it...

^^C6^^

 When first contacted, the Easter Island inhabitants said that the stones "walked" from the quarry to the site. There are competing theories on what that means.

Both of these are well worth your time.

 Their sense of fashion couldn't be more opposed.

 Zoran Lazarevic, 70-years-old, shows off his mustache as he takes part in the longest mustache competition at the 15th century Kalenic Serbian Orthodox monastery, near Rekovac, central Serbia on August 4, 2019. Lazarevic won the competition with his 140-centimeter long mustache.

But not so fast, Zoran. Mustache hair grows out of the lip. All you are doing is combing your beard hair out to the side. I cry foul!
But don't his shoes fit nice.
Same for this guy...

That's not a fucking mustache.
Definition of mustache. 1 : the hair growing on the human upper lip especially : such hair grown and often trimmed in a particular style his long mustache combed and waxed.

 I would never call this a mustache.

Did the English Romantic poet John Keats steal bodies from graves?

 A closer look at some of the 19th-Century writer’s most revered works, including his famous odes composed 200 years ago in the spring and summer of 1819, reveals an unsettling preoccupation with the feel of cemetery soil and the merging of self with cremated remains – a hands-on obsessiveness that goes beyond an anxious awareness of one’s own mortality. It is almost as if the poet is cryptically confessing to something dark, dangerous, and deeply disquieting.

Couldn't find his pride flag so he hung out the Twister mat...

Close but no cigar.

This looks like stoned me pointing to what I want on my Subway sandwich...

  4 hours of planes landing at San Diego airport in 23 seconds.

I'm thinking those red planes have a San Diago as their primary hub. 
"Wait up!"
- That last little plane probably
