About Me

My photo
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.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT


This is just another reason we need higher education.

That person thinks his opinion is equal to proven scientific fact. And that kind of (non)thinking is dangerous - not just to him but to me, you, his family, and my family.

The rest of the world pities us because they think we have lost our collective minds - and at this point, I tend to agree.

Now a large chunk of us refuses to take a vaccine. Think how disastrous that can be.

^^A1^^

^^A4^^

Just wait until we have to tackle manmade climate change.


Many Americans think this is just a normal cycle and nothing to worry about because they read an oil company-sponsored article. But more fundamentally their core philosophy is that nothing can harm short-term profits.
Capitalism is all about capital and everything else is secondary.
^^A5^^

That is exactly what I experienced. Cried like a baby for longer than I care to admit.

^^A6^^

^^A7^^

The stem cells in question are known as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which are multipotent adult stem cells with the ability to differentiate into a variety of cell types, enabling them to repair bone, cartilage, muscle, or fat tissue. Despite the potential promise of these cells, their use as an actual therapy has generated considerable controversy, especially after Japan fast-tracked commercialization approval in late 2018 in advance of thorough data on the safety and effectiveness of the experimental treatment.

^^A8^^

Looking for answers - old and new

Think about talking snakes and/or talking to a dead relative if you think real hard and you hold your hands in just the right position.

You are better than that, people.

^^A9^^

Early 1900s playground

To be clear, I do not want any child to be injured. But it occurs to me that a child will learn some very important physics lessons more quickly on a device like that as compared to the ultra-safe devices of today.

^^A10^^

To repeat - modern Americans have lost their crap detectors.
^^A11^^

Just try to imagine the tools and devices that the military is currently developing.

Teacher: Turn to page 0.

Me: But it's...

Teacher: I know it's blank...like your future. You were born to die. Welcome to Philosophy 101.

AND AWRY WE GO


A very nice off-center strike AND clipped planchet.

I found something very similar. I looked it up and it was worth about 50¢.

^^B1^^

Speaking of money, do you remember my friend who collects star dollars?

The star at the end of the serial number indicates that it is a replacement bill for one that was damaged in the printing process.

Anyway, I help him find them but it's been months since I found one. I guess that our area only had a finite number of them and, by God, we've found them all.

^^B2^^

PRIEST: Does anyone object to this marriage? 

GOD: Hold my beer.

NOTE: I think that's fake because of how the beams look sawn instead of splintered.


^^B3^^

Think of the critters the water meter reader must find.

By the way, if we learned only one thing from recent events in Texas it is that every family needs a T-tool to turn off the water.

They sell for $10 at Lowe's
^^B4^^

Speaking of Southerners in the snow...

^^B5^^

This seems a safe way for the orchestra to practice.

But I guess one's enthusiasm depends on the instrument one plays.

^^B6^^

There are basically two types of people:

And...

I used to do such awesome things while on drugs...

^^B7^^

My wife asked me if she had any annoying habits and then got offended during my PowerPoint presentation.

PEOPLE NOT LIKE US


I haven't a clue.

^^C1^^

As unbelievable as it might seem, my wife can't wait for staythefuckathome to be over so she can do her own grocery shopping. Go figure.

^^C2^^

Want to guess who they are?

Last picture of Moe & Larry together

^^C3^^

Signaler servicewomen of the National Guard of Ukraine in the war zone, Eastern Ukraine.

Stay safe, my friends. The bear is literally at the door.

^^C4^^

^^C5^^

This mega-viral guy found himself on a T-shirt.

His stance is called arms akimbo which I consider a wonderful phrase.

^^C6^^

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Buster Keaton.





He did all of his own stunts.

Notice that the house hit his arm and he didn't so much as flinch.

^^C7^^

Betting your life on your kayaking skills.

^^C8^^

I would just plant some native flora there so I wouldn't have to trim it. Sea oats or monkey grass seem an excellent option.

^^C9^^

Three words could describe that guy but I couldn't figure out which is more appropriate.

I have an irrational fear of zippers because of "There's Something About Mary."

MACHINES AND DEVICES THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO MOVE


Flexible ain't it.
^^D1^^

I'm assuming the motor and "flying wing" are submerged.

^^D2^^


I like it! And, no, your husband won't pee on it if he lifts the seat like he's supposed to.

^^D3^^

And it just looks like tubing on the side of your house.

^^D4^^

An automatic tuning machine.

^^D5^^

Seems like an overly time-consuming process.

^^D6^^

This is a Kenworth W900L

This is the Kenworth W900L shift pattern

And here it is in action...

Me: Does it irritate you when I...

Wife: Yes.

CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL


A  highly territorial marmot on the slopes

I wonder how that level of aggression works out for him in the wild.

^^E1^^

Notice that it is neither too long nor too short...

Optimal effort.

^^E2^^

Several years ago it occurred to most Southern men that mowing their lawn was not some manly ritual but rather a waste of our fucking time. So hundreds of lawn care services sprang up almost overnight.

I'm thinking shoveling snow fits into the same parameters.

^^E3^^

A hoodie?

^^E4^^

I've found my spirit animal...

^^E5^^

Tortoise Scratcher

That is pretty cool if it loads enough to move.

Let's try it again.

Here's a worthy battle if I've ever seen one:


Plus today's youths are forced to buy health insurance many of them don't want; their rent has tripled; textbook costs are obscene, and the cost of everything else has grown with normal inflation that the minimum wage has not matched.


That is the misinformation spread EVERY TIME minimum wage increase has been discussed. Even my wife had such fears.

But if my wife's employees' pay was doubled so will be every other worker's in her shopping area. And every nickel of that money will be spent immediately. That extra $7.50 will be spent at such shops as hers.

And I for one am willing to pay an extra 25¢ for a burger to cover the cost.
