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.

"Could I rent Ya Sista's Ass for a weekend?"

"It probably smells like fish."

^^A7^^

^^A8^^

That is a perfect example of trickle-down economics.

"Trickle...down."

I did not take a DNA test…

Turns out I am 100% not caring what I am.

me: can I borrow $100

friend: promise you won’t buy drugs with it

me: oh I already have money for that

ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE


200 feet tall Garbage Mountains near Delhi, India. They are constantly on fire due to all the released methane gas.

Some countries burn their trash to produce electricity. 

Why don't we all do that?

How much public space we’ve surrendered to cars. Swedish Artist Karl Jilg illustrated.

I once posted the percentage of urban land dedicated just to parking lots and it's extraordinary.

---

This is the biggest waste of land I can think of...

^^B 1-3^^

That is an example of how NOT to design a chart. The colored dots are illegible and there is much too much "air" (blank space) that could best be filled by enlarging the font.

^^B4^^

This bible had a gun incorporated and could be shot by pulling the bookmark while the book was closed, it belonged to Francesco Morosini, Doge of Venice in the XVII century.

I could imagine handing someone the book and then when they grasp it you yank on the bookmark.

^^B5^^

I watched an excellent documentary on how Big Tobacco knew they couldn't disprove the fact that cigarettes caused cancer so they funded hundreds of studies to "prove" that thousands of other products also caused cancer.

That is the same strategy used by Big Oil to confuse the public about climate change.

^^B6^^

There is no excuse for that. None.

^^B8^^

This image was included with a condemnation of the family who left the mess.

I clean off my table, but I resent it. Corporations always clothe their curtailment of services as a price-reducing measure but then never lower their prices. If you are in the restaurant business and can't even afford a busboy then your business model sucks.

But get this, McDonald's was so persuasive that YOU will look down on me if I don't clean off my table. I do not work for McDonald's and I NEVER agreed to this arrangement but still, I will be considered the villain.

David Copperfield has so far sold 40 million tickets and grossed over $4 billion, which is more than any other solo entertainer in history. 

*OSIT

^^B11^^

I agree.

One of the boons of sobriety is never having to worry about getting into an accident after a few beers.

^^B12^^

They used to advertise that TVs that were set on the floor allowed your head and neck to match their position when reading, knitting, etc.

Looking up at a TV hung high on the wall is unnatural.

^^B13^^

Russia's worst nightmare just became a fact.

If it was really a smartphone it would have recognized that it was an ignored call, not missed.

My friend graduated from Harvard this weekend, but last night I got a 95/100 from my c-pap.

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT


I like it.

Bo Diddley 1974

Before one of his concerts, he peed in the urinal right next to mine. TRUE!

^^C3^^

She's at it again...

Mark Davis - Owner of the Oakland Raiders and the worst haircut in human history

^^C6^^

^^C7^^

This dried Gorilla glue that was so perfectly solidified it retained the bottle shape after being cut out of the packaging.

I like to use small tubes of gel Super Glue. The last cartoon of 12 that I bought from Amazon had every single one of them as hard as a rock. And did I send them back? No. It just wasn't worth my time.

^^C8^^

This old golf ball wedged inside a tree.

During a camping trip when I was a teenager, we came across a bolo knife embedded in a huge hardwood tree.

It had been left in a fork in the trunk and over the decades had been encased in a hardwood tree that proved impossible to retrieve even though we hacked at it during every trip.

I didn't recognize him.

Danny Devito 1961

I often think about the beautiful people walking into acting class and finding him in attendance. They must have scoffed at the chances that he would ever get a role in a movie.

I do not want a robot dog. I do want some sort of high-speed Wi-Fi router mobile hotspot installed in my current dog.

STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES


Don't we all, son. Don't we all.

^^D1^^

How long will it take you?

^^D2^^

Dear World, I volunteer to proofread your stuff. Before you send it to the printer or tattoo artist, etc, just email it to me and I will keep you from making a fool of yourself.

^^D3^^

She's acting like they are actually eating the stuff.

^^D4^^

Has she not seen the hundreds of videos of people doing the same thing with the exact same outcome?

^^D5^^

On one of my roadtrips, I walked into the store after setting the handle on the gas pump nozzle. It did not shut off when the tank was full and gas was everywhere. I pushed the car away from the puddle before cranking it.

^^D6^^

Just curious, how many of you think that the carnival barker who talked him into that has some liability for his facial reconstruction surgery?

^^D7^^

Embarrassingly, this took me several views to figure out.

^^D8^^

Watch carefully because I have no idea what is going on. 

Anybody?

^^D9^^

He must not have seen this video.

^^D10^^

D6: the same thing happened to me. I got the car away from the gas puddle, and I high-tailed it out of there before I ended up getting stuck with the hazmat bill.
