Those wildfires sure are dangerous… thank goodness FEMA showed up and held a fake news conference to answer all of… their burning questions? As if their ineptitude wasn’t evident enough after Katrina, FEMA pulled the ultimate stunt and had their own employees volley questions at a deputy administrator. Great job, morons!
Speaking of morons, I am still shaking my head ten minutes after reading this bombshell: Miami Dolphins’ linebacker Channing Crowder didn’t know people in London speak English. To put his foot further in his mouth, he proclaimed that he at least knew London Fletcher, a linebacker for the Redskins… but surely he wasn’t from London, because he’s black. I think this man needs to visit London in a big way.
Now I know why pot is illegal, or how I wore some 200-year-old clothes.
One brave man refuses to shave his beard until Metallica releases a new album. Sorry guy, but on the flipside I’m hoping they never release a new album. I’m inadvertently hoping you never shave that beard… and it might get pretty long. (Check in with Guinness… perhaps you’ll have a shot at ‘longest beard’.)
A man is now a registered sex offender in Scotland for trying to have sex with a bicycle. At first I thought that was an outlandish punishment, but the more I think about it… who’s to say this guy knows where to stick his ding-a-ling? Certainly not that innocent bicycle, after it was violated in ways no bike should have to endure. I think we should round up all the people who prefer inanimate objects for sex and put them in a room together just to see what happens.
Also just a wee bit creepy are these anatomically correct dolls for families. Yeah, so you can teach your kids how genitals work using bizarre, plush creatures with faces that look like they were drawn on with Sharpies. Oh, better make sure they’re prohibitively expensive, too.
Knights of Cydonia was posted on lickety jackblog, but I have to re-post it here. It’s a music video with a western/sci-fi/kung fu flare, made by the band Muse. Epic and rad.
Iconic photos of the 20th century, re-enacted by senior citizens. There’s not as many as I hoped, and the navigation on the site is a bit weird… still, a novel idea.
Merideth Dittmar makes some amazing clay sculptures. If I was loaded, I would buy the whole kitten caboodle. (I would also pay thousands to have the words ‘kitten caboodle’ permanently removed from my vocabulary.)
