Because it is funny, that’s why.

Why, really, is a theory of mine. We ultimately laugh as a release of tension, and when we laugh at someone else’s misfortune it is partially a subconscious recognition of “Thank God that wasn’t me.”
Plus, we laugh because there is a part in all of us that is just [...]

Oh, that’s nice.  (get me outta here…)

Men’s Fashion Gets a Feminine Touch at Paris Shows
The notion of wardrobe androgyny was the fitting theme of Yves Saint-Laurent’s men’s collection, the house that kicked off the just-ended Paris men’s shows where men’s fashion won a feminine touch.
At YSL, designer Stefano Pilati used quotations from Plato to [...]

Wow.  I know I was wondering which way the cards would fall on this one.  Robert Mugabe wins the election.
Let’s see… he takes the last election where he lost, recounts it until… until… essentially until all hope of a valid election dissipates like smoke and then has a new election.
Luckily he was able to intimidate [...]

UPDATE:  PETA would probably see the cosmic joke in this post over at Brea Canyon Monument, a very enjoyable spot to browse if you like the world with a tilt.

I doubt “freakshowcasings” is really a word but it sounds to my ears enough like “sausage casings” that I’m willing to use it if it has [...]

Smoking meat will give you a hell of a raspy cough though.
No Runny Eggs, Lemur King, Cruel Wife (and kidlets) plus a starving neighbor chowed down – smoked wings, pulled pork, ribs, rolls/buns, mustard and tomato sauces, mac and potato salad, baked beans…  Oh yeah.
NRE, being an incredibly laid back fella, seems to be a [...]

MoronBlogging It.

Well, it was a very quiet affair hanging out – myself, Cruel Wife, No Runny Eggs, Girl-Child Unit #1, and Death-Wish Boy.  And Silver d’Cat.
Click it for larger pic…

Shown:  Wok Hei – the art of blistering your Jae Jaeng Myun and then snarfing it 8x as fast as you should – it is on the [...]

UPDATE:  Best laid plans (even for a MoronBlogger event) of mice/men oft go agley…
So far we have a Missing Person’s Report and another who wasn’t able to come clear down today (perhaps tomorrow), and the others… who knows?
Rolling with the punches, even if no one showed up, we’d eat ourselves silly, freeze the rest, and [...]

All I gotta say is that it is about goddamned time. You won’t wake up to a communist state for at least a little while, because you are still able to defend yourselves (those of you who haven’t abdicated any hope of ever doing so by being a pacifist – I guess we’ll do [...]

My problem tonight is that I don’t want to create new content but I do not want to leave you, Constant Reader, without a source of BS (real or imagined) until I get unlazy-ed.
So for now, enjoy some links.  Some are tasty, some roadkill, some juicy, some charred silly, some… oh hell, just enjoy the [...]

Rep. Fagan is already taking heat. I understand why. People read what he said and assume that he is taking the stance that he is going to relish victimizing further young rape victims on the stand. He certainly sounds gung-ho about it, but it warrants further investigation.
I think I understand what this [...]

Construction Worker #1:  … and it makes me feel uncomfortable.
Construction Worker #2:  I feel like an object.
Construction Worker #3:  Me, too.  It’s like they don’t see me for who I really am. It hurts my feelings…
What?  Huh?  What happened?  I missed something…
Confused?  You should be.  Men and women are wired differently. This is not some [...]

I was over at Weasel’s today and ran across her post regarding suicidal dogs in the UK. Now, given that dogs are normally happy creatures, I was surprised at the number of pooches that decided to pack it all in for a pair of wings by flinging themselves off of a bridge. For [...]

Awww… shit. (can I say that on a blog?)
Man, this is a sad day. This is the guy who taught me the meaning of the word “irony”, which seems to be used in every way but the proper one. He made me laugh even as my parents recoiled in parental concern over [...]
