PONDERABLES

There are plenty of people in this country who still believe in Trickle Down. I have a commenter who calls me comrade and I will bet money he believes in it.
^^B1^^

Remember in the old days when conservatives wanted government OUT of our lives?
^^B2^^

^^B3^^

Remember when empathy was considered a virtue?
^^B4^^

I once called a mother and told her that her son was making it impossible for me to teach my class and she said, "Hell, I can't handle him at home either and when he's in school he's your problem."

Game over.

^^B6^^

As is my habit, I once walked up to a clerk and said, "Hi, how are you?"

And she looked me right in the eye and said, "I work here" in the same tone someone would say, "My dog died today".

And that made me sad.

^^B8^^

I asked the Pakistani guy at the corner store his name and when I got home and pronounced it to my wife the furniture started floating.

I used to eat ass on the first date. You're not going to scare me away from my goddamn shrimp.

One of them ticks like a clock.

^^C5^^

It's called conserving energy and he's a master at it.
^^C6^^
It was stated that foxes and badgers often hunt together.
^^C7^^

That is one of the most amazing things  I've ever seen...and I mean that.
^^C8^^

That these tiny frogs showed up after a heavy rain is not that weird. That they are all facing in the same direction like these assholes is terrifying.

^^C9^^

Hahahabananaha!
^^C10^^

"Nonfungible" sounds like it means it cannot be turned into a mushroom.

FOR AMUSEMENT ONLY


^^D1^^

Vacationing on a budget...

My wife and I used to float in an 18" kiddie pool in the backyard.

^^D2^^

Meanwhile, there's a metallic clanking in a mechanic's washing machine somewhere.

^^D3^^

*MNBT
^^D5^^

I've only done that a couple of times but it's only delaying the inevitable.
^^D6^^

^^D7^^

That looks like me showing my grandson the Holiday Inn parking lot where I got a blow job from a woman I had just met in the bar 30 minutes prior.

^^D8^^

He walking the plank to get ON the ship!

You know, if he had used the plank like a diving board he might have just sprung onboard.

^^D9^^

When Dante visited hell it was pre-industrialization. There's got to be like 800 levels by now.

RANDOM BLOG FODDER


I saw that photo and it reaffirmed my love of wood and stone.

I own many pieces of one-of-a-kind furniture that were made in some guy's woodworking shop.

There are always some imperfections but that just makes them more charming.


This bed was handmade along with the carvings.

It even came with a matching armoire.


But this is the cream of my collection. 

I own four of them and they were made by a farmer and here's the story.

When my wife used to accept furniture in her consignment store an 85-year-old woman brought the chairs in to have them sold. She said that her father made them when she was a little girl and her job was to twist the boiled cornshucks into ropes to use to weave the seats. So, after more than 100 years the seats are still serviceable even though I forbid anyone to sit in them.

^^E1^^

The USA Women's Curling made a mistake and the announcer said that the tosser was yelling "Whoa, whoa, whoa," and the sweepers must have thought she was saying "Go, go, go."

Many times when I come to a dangerous intersection I need my wife's help. She is not allowed to say "Whoa, no, or go" because they all sound so much alike. She must say, "Good right, good right" or I won't move.

BTW: It was stated that good sweeping can extend a curling rock's slide by ten feet.

^^E2^^

I never see things like that that I don't think about my months in Goose Bay, Labrador where every vehicle had to be plugged in every time it is parked so the motor didn't freeze.

For most of the year, the floors in the buses are caked with four or five inches of solid ice.

^^E3^^

Speaking of...

That photo reminded me of one of the most brilliant ideas I have ever heard of. Directly in front of the Art Department at the University of SC, they had to put in new drainage and bury cables, etc and it was a mess. But then they just leveled off the dirt and left it that way for a whole semester. Then they laid the sidewalk directly atop the paths that the students had trodden into the turf in their normal comings and goings. They even made wide paths wide and narrow paths narrow. Then they made mounds of soil at each corner and covered it in sticker plants to keep people from taking a shortcut. Like I said - brilliant.

^^E4^^

That's much harder than it looks. I imagine they had a spotter standing where the cameraman is standing directing the crew doing the drawing in the sand.
^^E5^^

^^E6^^

Said to be an abandoned Soviet sub.

I'm not sure abandoned is the right word.
^^E7^^

The science of a smile

Smiles are contagious sort of like yawns. I know I smiled at that.

But think about how adept humans are at detecting fake smiles.

And if I'm not mistaken people all over the world forever have been smiling exactly alike.
^^E8^^

This is a hell of a photograph!

Here's the legend but you'll probably have to enlarge it.

^^E9^^

And now we know why every terrorist in the Middle East drives a Toyota pickup.

C1: Dogs are FUCKING AMAZING and their utter devotion and entertainment just by being dogs is STAGGERING. If man has ANY designs on saving ANY species in case of an apocalypse then I want Dogs to be saved. They deserve nothing less. :)

You like to talk about all your sexual experiences like you used to be a stud muffin which means you were probably a virgin when you got married. LOL
