Unusual News and A Return of the Cutting Edge

They really need to consult with Cheryl Crow prior to instituting this policy, so she can tell them how well it worked for her. Toilet Paper Rationing For Inmates.
Another option, I believe is to implement the same measures they use in my workplace - optional 120, 180, and 220 grit varieties. We resort to 80 grit in very lean times which saves on water costs (fewer trips to the bathroom, don’t you know…)

Oh dear. It seems that the Bishop needs a sabbatical. The report to the emergency operators (I am not making this up) claimed:
“…gentle little people, about 3 to 4 feet tall, and wearing Halloween masks” were in the hall.
This is the kind of paranoia that you expect to see with meth abuse.

Four men drive to 48 states in 106 hours (and 43 minutes). Here two of them smile for a picture in their rag-topped Toyota Scion shortly after a pit stop and six orders jo-jo’s in the Land of the Lounge Lizards Grill and Pub. Shortly after returning home the engine started seizing due to 10,000 miles without adding oil or an oil change.

Really, when facing a day like this, one should go buy a lottery ticket, because there’s nowhere to go but up. One would think, anyway…
(click it for large pic - I had fun with this one.)
You cause a wreck, watch your house burn because your wife ran to see if you were ok in the wreck, and get ticked leaving the hospital. Wow, batting a thousand.

Facing a day like that is nothing compared to what your day is like if you need to use this product. Patent 4,320,756. I really, really, really would not shit you about this. I think they use the term “Fresh Air” somewhat loosely.
Fresh-air breathing device and method
AbstractThe recent rash of fires in high-rise hotels and deaths occasioned thereby has given rise to the need for a breathing device and method for supplying a hotel guest and/or fireman with fresh air until he can be rescued. The device and method of this invention provide for the insertion of a breathing tube through the water trap of a toilet to expose an open end thereof to fresh air from a vent pipe connected to a sewer line of the toilet, to enable the user to breathe fresh air through the tube.
Can you imagine using this in a fire and then getting that special sign that nature calls? Naturally you gotta flush, ’cause it’s only polite.
Now, for the cutting edge… Knives. Lots of Knives… Maybe these folks will notice and give me a discount for giving them more coverage? It’d be cool, but I’ll like ‘em even if they don’t.
If you know me, you’ll know why I like this knife. Enough said.
MCusta Katana Series VG-10 Liner Lock Knife - Gold - MC-42
This next one is one I want (hint hint). I ache for it. My body physically responds to the sight of it. Stirring of the loins kind of thing. Disturbed yet? Good.
MCusta Classic San Mai Clad Liner Lock Knife - Yoroi - MC-37D
It belongs with King Henry the Second (The Lion in Winter - go out and rent it right now if you haven’t seen it.)
Kizlyar Special Etched Dagger - K20134B
What can I say, I’m a pushover for good legs, knives, and intensely loyal German Shepherds. I sure miss mine.
Maserin Special Damascus George Sessions Pocket Knife - MS234DE
Sleek and smooth. Looks very ergonomic.
Chambriard Amourette Pocket Knife - 1715
This is just a beautiful knife in terms of minimalism. It’s sparse, yet has nice symmetry and is almost organic yet technical - it’s a cyborg knife.
Maserin Sting Slim Line Liner Lock Knife - MS580
And in a Scion as well. Will wonders ever cease?
I may be biased (huge fan of Top Gear - toss up between Jeremy and Hamster) but even completing the trip in a Scion seems miraculous.
James always picks the stodgiest made from concrete-and-rebar vehicles which have all the excitement of a bunch of republican bankers at a church ice-cream social.
I keep looking at the breathing tube for the toilet and thinking… wouldn’t there be “residual material” in the crook of the tube of the toilet, and couldn’t you potentially clog the device if the inserted end scooped up enough of that goo?
Oh dear God I just pictured a man in a fire getting a mouthful of fecal matter while trying to breathe thruogh that damned device. Bad enough you could potentially die from being seared alive, but then you would have to do it with a mouth full of shit.
I’m going to go be sick now.
That thought occurred as well. I did pretty much immediately tar and feather it with the “stupid idea brush” so I didn’t envision it with that level of detail.
Perhaps he has a twist on the invention that puts him a lung-up on the competition?
