As Useful as a Sack of Hammers.

Gov’t suspends Cash for Clunkers program because it is running out of money. This is exactly what so many of us are thinking. “If they can’t administer a program like this, I’d be a little concerned about my health insurance,” car salesman Rob Bojaryn said. The medical system has been built up over the years [...]

Never Met a Pig I Didn’t Like.

Until now. A fat corpulent beady-eyed disgusting pig he is, too. His latest work of fiction? Capitalism: A Love Story Stay tuned for the Euro-sycophants to cozy up and rub against his legs in an orgiastic frenzy.  Then keep watching as their doppelgangers in the US do the same. **** I’m in a mood here, [...]

Candy is Good for You.

The article headline shouts out: Blue M&Ms May Reduce Spinal Injuries Yeah, how about that?  Cure your spinal injury by eating 50lbs of M&M’s immediately after your car accident.   Let me know how that works.

Twilight Draws Nigh.

An astute co-worker (Capricious Halfbreed) found this today.  No idea where it came from but the artist is a master of orchestrating the absurd.  If you aren’t a movie buff, you won’t get it. **** I know it is Britain, but aren’t we jumping the hysteria gun just a bit? A city council said Saturday [...]

Stupidity’s Rabbit-Hole.

Speaking of rabbit holes and how deep they can go.  The Washington Examiner has a gold nugget… “If there’s a blue pill and a red pill, and the blue pill is half the price of the red pill and works just as well, why not pay half price for the thing that’s going to make [...]

Bullsh*t Doctors.

No, not spin doctors.  These guys have gone a step further. White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel told The New York Times Obama intends to use the news conference as a “six-month report card,” to talk about “how we rescued the economy from the worst recession” and the legislative agenda moving forward, including health [...]

And Now, a Brief Moment of Panic.

New global hysteria to nudge Globular Worming out of the spotlight.  It’s just as valid of a theory.  We are going to see a full solar eclipse.  Doom!  Destruction!  Death!  Mega-wedgies! This week’s solar eclipse has Indian astrologers predicting violence and turmoil across the world, AFP reported. In Hindu mythology, the two demons Rahu and [...]

The Vacation that Wasn’t There. Part I.

I’m going to try to lay out the vacation better than I have so far.  I have just not felt well enough to do so until now.  We’ll go backwards through the story.  It is a well known literary device called “going backwards through the story” and is used when all other flashes of inspiration [...]

Hellboy Gets a New Name.

Hellboy will henceforth be known as Franken-Stein.  I argued for Freak-n-Stein and Cruel Wife wanted (but nixed) Frakk-n-Stein.  Note that the pronunciation will follow that of one of my favoritest movies, Young Frankenstein, where it sounds thusly:   FRONK-en-steen. Igor: Dr. Frankenstein… Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: “Fronkensteen.” Igor: You’re putting me on. Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No, it’s [...]

BBQ… Not just for eating anymore.

On our vacation my dad and brother decided to roast pig in a pit.  They used these baking bags like you use in the oven. See, they used this method last year and it worked.  Last year they asked me what I thought and I said then that I thought it would get way way [...]

The Head-Wound of Horror and the Fountain of Doom

After much thought after the fact I have come to the conclusion that last week I did indeed have swine flu.  Last week I was too damn sick to care, though. If you think you’re coming down with it, this site might be useful but you might see it in a more favorable light after [...]

My Own Porch.

Rarely does a sick dog go lie under the neighbor’s porch. There’s a reason for that. Being sick away from home is about as attractive as stripping buck-naked, dousing one’s self in cold turpentine, and crawling through red-hot broken glass. We spent the first half of vacation with Cruel Wife’s family – her parents, Sister1 [...]
