Amen.

Could somebody explain that to me in such a way that I shouldn't end up hating Republicans?

PONDERABLES


I've done stuff like that and she ended up divorcing me.

^^A1^^

I've never thought of that.
^^A2^^

"This is fine" dog is an oft-used meme character.
It takes many forms...
^^A3^^

^^A4^^

I want the US to do that with military service.
^^A5^^

A Wakeup Call is a new book about the lessons we should learn from this pandemic. I think the big lesson is that in the next global emergency Americans SHOULD NOT be relied upon to exhibit any sense of community responsibility.
^^A6^^

Am I the only one who thinks that ANY POLITICIAN who thinks they don't have to follow the rules should be thrown the fuck out?
^^A7^^

Maybe, but somebody has to raise the capital to buy the machinery and build the factory. Workers can't often do that.
^^A8^^

I am beginning to believe that considering all the flat-earthers, anti-vaccine, anti-mask, climate deniers, etc, etc, proves that Americans LIKE being stupid. I mean who could have predicted this:
Every expert in the world - Covid is an airborne pathogen and you need to wear a mask to keep it out of your lungs."
Americans: "Fuck you."
^^A9^^

That is my debunking strategy also - I offer my $1000 against their $100 on every lunatic claim some idiot found online and is stating as fact. I have never had them accept but it does shut them up.
And by the way, if you think Trump will regain the presidency in March my offer stands...all comers.

CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL


How do you remain that calm?
And I thought wild animals were all afraid of fire.
^^B1^^

^^B2^^

^^B3^^

Elephants never forget a former caregiver...

^^B4^^

Many people are opposed to hunting large animals. What these people need to understand is that without culling the numbers our gardens, farms, and highways would be overrun with these animals.

^^B5^^

Speaking of hunting...

Because of isolation, I finished 3 books yesterday. And believe me, that's a lot of coloring.

OBJECTS OF INTEREST


Never forget that she tried very hard to get this picture removed from the internet...

Or so I'm told.

^^C1^^

They developed a robot to reenact my wife's restless leg syndrome that keeps me sleepless.

^^C2^^

Vancouver, Canada is plugging in with battery-electric buses that charge in five minutes. Each bus is expected to cut 100 tonnes of emissions and save $40,000 in fuel costs.

^^C3^^

Can anybody help me understand that?

^^C4^^

I'm not sure how that happened. I mean, how did the toilet bowl overflow if the pipes are frozen?

^^C5^^

That black box is a DC to AC converter. I own two. I can plug mine into the power port in the dash of my truck. It turns 12v DC into 110v AC to run almost anything.

^^C6^^

Trump Plaza casino comes down in Atlantic City implosion

"ANTIFA did it."
- Donald Trump probably
^^C7^^

What is that...marble?

^^C8^^

During my bartender/short-order cook days a man ordered extra onions. He sent the first attempt back so I really loaded it up. This too was returned so I got a whole onion and sliced a slab about the size of that tomato and he sent word back that it was the best burger he had ever eaten.

^^C9^^

I remember when they used to hide the gas caps.



But who thought forcing everyone to lean over like this was a good idea?

^^C10^^

Raw power always impresses me.

The hail looks like bullets striking the water during the D-Day invasion.


The artist even incorporated a small fountain to mimic the effect in the National D-Day Memorial.

^^C11^^

A photographer managed to locate modern places featured in old post cards.

Can you imagine getting in bed and easily falling asleep and then waking up feeling rested and then having a good day and then doing it all over again?

PEOPLE BEING HUMAN


^^D1^^

Winona Ryder, Jodie Foster, and Julia Roberts, 1989.

It was stated: "The one on the left will steal your husband, the one in the middle will steal your wife, and the one on the right will steal both for a threesome."

HA!

^^D2^^


Speaking of stealing your wife...

^^D3^^

You hardly ever see a great save on the internet.

^^D4^^

^^D5^^

I say anything you can do in sock feet isn't work.

That is A LOT of hammering!

^^D6^^

Wait until the very end...

I didn't notice the bridge raising the first three times I watched that.

^^D7^^

Amazing Food Prep

I always hate sending you away to see a video but because of the size of these, I had no choice. Enjoy.

A Muslim just wished me a Merry Christmas. I smiled and wished him, Happy Ramadan. A beautiful moment in interfaith harmony. Then he said "But it's not Ramadan" and I said, "Listen, old man, stop ruining my fake story I need to increase my viewership."

HOBBIES


^^E1^^

Did you notice the clump of snow at the bottom of the door frame giving away the loop?


The internet really likes using this image...

^^D2^^

Obsidian is nature's glass.

^^D3^^

^^D4^^

Many people paint on canvas as a hobby.

^^D5^^

Some people prefer to use their own skin as the canvas...

^^D6^^

At first, I was impressed...

Then I saw his other work and realized they were all fantasy movie characters. That really bothered me...as does this...

Why do something original when you can just steal somebody else's shit?

^^D7^^


That person is betting their life that the installer of the foot brackets can outwit gravity EVERY SINGLE TIME.

^^D8^^

Humans spend a large portion of their lives taking dares...

I wonder if she left teeth marks on the rim of the pool.

^^D9^^

But this dare taking may be in our primal genes.

^^D10^^

Some people travel as a hobby.

^^D11^^

Reenactors seem to have fun.

Did you notice that his "weapon" was his undoing?

^^D12^^

Pranking is an innocent enough hobby. Here's it's done properly.

Here it's done improperly.

I taught my daughter how to identify those when she was about six.

Reminds me of the hoodie on backward prank guy.

Remember, the question was never "Do you believe it" but rather "Is it true."

C5: Toilets overflowing so the water in the supply pipe is flowing thus keeping it from freezing. Old tip for protecting your pipes in a freeze is to open each faucet a small amount.

B4- A story about Elephants
In 1972, Joe Miller was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Tulsa Junior College.
On a hike through the brush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Joe approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee and inspected the elephants foot and found a large piece of wood embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Joe worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down his foot.
The elephant turned to Joe, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Joe stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled.
Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away. Joe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
Thirty years later, Joe was walking through the Tulsa Zoo with his family. As they approached the elephant enclosure one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Joe and his family were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Joe, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at Joe.
Remembering the encounter in 1972, Joe could not help wondering if this was the same elephant… Joe summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Joe's legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.
Probably wasn't the same elephant.

Top: The Cares Act was directly related to the pandemic whereas the American Relief Plan had a bunch of pork and needless spending in it. Pelosi refused a covid relief bill before the election and said after, paraphrasing, now that we have a new president we can pass one. Neither party wants to give the other a win nor cares more about the people than they do themselves. We need term limits (like POTUS) on all of them along with release of their tax returns. Come into office worth 500K and leave 20 years later worth 25+ mil. all with a 100k salary. What’s wrong with this picture? I even think they voted to increase their salary in this one. WTF
