Um, when you think Tsunami aid, do you think programs pushing Australian values on Asians? I didn’t think so either. But that’s what Australian NGOs have been doing with the tsunami relief money they were given to, ya know, rebuild lives shattered by the tsunami of 2004. Hey guys, I think your audience would be a lot more receptive if they had food and water. How about using the money for what it was intended, and if, miracle of miracles, you have money left over, put it aside for the next disaster.
What A Jerky Thing To Do!
Ok, first we had the police officer who jailed some poor McDonalds employee over a salty burger. Now we have an off-duty police officer whipping out his sidearm over incorrectly-seasoned deer jerky. Are people that nuts over food?
Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer? Nope, A Moose!
Please someone look at the pictures of this drunken Alaskan moose. Tell me. Are they as hillarious as the story sounds? Can you imagine a drunken moose? I’m still laughing about a moose tangled in Christmas lights eating fermented crab apples until he was drunk as a skunk, but he was a moose. And he’s a repeat offender, he’s been tagged!
Damn it I’m still Snickering. I must be easily amused.
Whatsky A Perfectsky Namesky
I have to do this, Steve, I’m scooping you. A dude brought a computer loaded with child porn to Circuit City and subsequently got busted. His name? Kenneth Sodomsky!
>Speaking Of Odd Studies…
>Oh my. There are some very, um, young at heart Scandinavian engineers out there. What a strange thing to research.
Damned If You Do, Damned If You Don’t.
Ok, this confuses me to no end. I’ve always thought that when someone is raped, she is dehumanized. But this paper tries to claim that the reason Israeli soldiers refrain from raping Palestinian women is because they think of them as not human. What the hell? It’s like the researcher is trying to call them bad for not raping women. And this apparently was a serious paper.
Smoking Hole?
I get the idea of getting around a smoking ban by cutting 3 holes in the wall so you can stick your head and hands outside, be technically smoking outside and still be in the bar, but I have two questions. Doesn’t it make it cold inside the bar? And doesn’t the smell and smoke filter back in?
Holy Imbecile Tender And Mild
I know I’m putting up a lot of Christmas stuff in January, but that’s what happens when you’ve just come out of dialupville, where you budget your time spent on the internet, and then you come home and have a party. But I give you, from Snopes.com, misheard Christmas Carols! Get ready to laugh, laugh, and laugh some more about how Good King wants his applesauce, and round John Virgin is radiating meat from thy holy place, and lots more. Maybe you’ll see one from your childhood. I saw a couple, but then again, I am the queen of misheard lyrics.
>Very Baaad, Very Very Baaaad!
>This story isn’t that special, a woman in Dibble, Oklahoma, got charged because her two goats were screwing and pooping and someone saw it, but there were two things that caught my attention. For one, it was in her own yard, and it was fensed, so what’s the big deal? And, if animals aren’t supposed to relieve themselves in public, what does a dog do when it goes for a walk in Dibble? There must be a lot of out of shape dogs in disgusting conditions in that town, or no dogs at all, because that’s just weird.
Everyone Else Can Have a Holly Jolly Christmas Except You.
Ug. Here we go again with the political correctness. There was a publication put out four times a year by a group of psychiatric patients at Cromwell House Mental Health Facility. They decided to copy that ten Christmas Carols for the “mentally disturbed” thing. We have a similar list up on the blog years ago. Anyway, they thought it would be fun to make a little joke in their own magazine, and why the hell not? It’s their fucking magazine.
Then, someone saw it who has a family member who has a mental illness, and she got all offended, and because of her being offended, they pulled it!
Why? I would be pissed if a group of psychiatrists put this out with no patients involved, but these were patients! If they found it funny, let ’em laugh! Why should their illness be always regarded with such seriousness? And why can’t people stand by their own words anymore?
