Quote of the day

From Fiona on Burn Notice: Well, in my experience, if something seems too good to be true, it’s best to shoot it, just in case.

Fundamental Changes: the world will never be the same

In any life, there are events that change forever one’s perception of the world.  Some are collective events; the Moon landing and Watergate for folks of my generation or more recently 9/11.  Some are personal; a first kiss, meeting the love of your life, the birth of a child.  Unfortunately, at least in my experience, [...]

Saturday Night Snark

Some links for you. Vuvuzela fail. This really isn’t a rhetorical question. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes a few words added are priceless.

I need taller trash cans or a shorter dog

And since Kali is a miniature Dachshund… I understand how she can knock over the small trash cans around the house, but the kitchen trash can is much taller.  Of course, it has the best stuff in it.  Personally, I suspect collusion with the cats, but whatever the truth is, it doesn’t really matter, because [...]

Salvation of Sarcasm, or Sarcastic Salvation, or the greatest invention since the invention of inventions :W

Ponder the veracity of this timeless wisdom: How many times have you written an e-mail or text or instant message where sarcasm is lost on the recipient? Millions? Billions? The result of the interaction is confusing and potentially devastating: awkward silence, non-response, your friend thinks that you’re seriously into some hard drugs.  The permutations of potential [...]

Quote of the Day (from yesterday)

From the guys at Hillbuzz: But, we still can’t figure out why Avatar makes so much money.  We thought it was essentially Disney’s Pocahontas, but with Smurf-cats and a planet that had about 6 different kinds of animals on it, all of which were just blue, six legged versions of the animals here.  Like they [...]

In which Cziltang takes credit for the election result in Massachusetts

Massachusetts.  Yes, I can spell it correctly.  Without using the spell-check on my word processor. Having not been terribly politically active in the past 30 years (the last time I contributed to a political campaign was for John Anderson in 1980), it has been extremely gratifying to know that my support is the reason Massachusetts [...]

Cleaning out the browser

An odd collection of links tonight: First, an article which looks at a number of  “Gansta vs. Cop” shooting issues.  That description isn’t nearly as interesting as the article.  Among other points, contrary to what I believed, “Gangstas” actually get more shots on target than the Cops they are shooting at.  The author speculates that [...]

The Audio-Visual post

I”m going to work in a few minutes, but I thought I’d share these: A marginally more subtle graphic than I usually link to. A definitely NSFW animation entitled “Hooker was a Democrat”.  By the way, the animation is done at a site called Xtranormal.  It’s easy.  I’ve done a couple of simple ones, but [...]

The Sunday Night Linkfest

First, a little inspired silliness from Dr. Boli: A letter to the Editor An advertisement for a unique literary service An advertisement for a unique martial arts dojo Second, I was apparently wrong last night about the Obama LSD being deliciously appropriate.  This is deliciously appropriate. Also at Moonbattery, an Economic Stimulus Flow Chart Say [...]
