Several years ago there was a book called “Politically Correct Fairy Tales”. I don’t remember the author, but I do remember it was funny because it was so outrageous. I suspect it wouldn’t be funny anymore; more of an HR department policy manual. One of the things I remember from the book was the phrase […]
Also tagged Nanny State, pointless gesturesThe Czar has posted your Chinese New Year horoscopes for the coming year over at the Gormogons. I can never remember which “year of” I was born in. I’m thinking it may have been the Year of the Sleestak.
Also tagged PersonalI’m a big fan of Leg Iron’s rants at underdogs bite upwards. This, however may be among the two best sentences ever written in the English language: I’m not religious but Dear God, can’t you smack some intelligence into the things you made? You say you made them in your image and they make you […]

Ever? I’m not talking about made-up words like “shazizzle”, I”m talking about real words. Let me know if you […]

The shooter uses a paintball gun and gets one round only. The shooter can set up anywhere on the course and can shoot either a snowboarder or another shooter. If you’re hit, you’re out (shooter or boarder). 3 […]
Also tagged Guns, humor, not the stupidest thing you'll read today, pointless gestures, sportsI don’t really know how to describe this. Larry Correia (Monster Hunter International) got involved in a discussion about shutting down PBS last year. Mr. Correia interjected some information about Cookie Monster’s days as a mercenary a ways into the discussion. You just have to read the whole thing.
Also tagged humorWelcome to anyone who happens to be wandering by here from IMAO. It would, of course, be better if I had any actual new content for you to read.
