The Babe told me this morning about yesterday's Garfield cartoon. Okay, this is me all the way. ~sigh~

You can get the original here.

Funny and disturbing barbershop music

The comment "This is deeply disturbing yet pretty cool at the same time" pretty much sums it up.

(BTW, the subtitles are from the movie. That's that the lyrics are supposed to be saying. Oy.)

Contradancing... to techno???

Apparently, contradancing is getting a new audience. As this video shows, there's contradancing being done to techno music.

I'm not much for techno music, vastly preferring that fiddle-and-banjo crap, but if people learn contradancing, it's all to the good. (Thanks to Anita Anderson for this link.)

How to give a proper opossum massage

Being nice to animals is a good idea... but there are limits, there really and truly are. This woman is a complete and utter loon.

And her website is even fruitier. She's a squirrel. No, really, she says so.

Doing well by doing good

Good article by someone who walks every inch of the walk: Why I hire former convicts and gang members.

The Oatmeal

I'm very keen on The Oatmeal. The latest post is "If you do this in an email, I hate you."

The Oatmeal

That's logic, that is!

1. God made woman out of one of Adam's ribs.
2. Women are glorified ribs.
3. Ribs are delicious.
4. Delicious things are meant to be eaten.
5. Women should be eaten.

Don't look at me like that; that's sound logic.

Repost: Gay Suicide & "Shoulds"

This powerful article is about gay teen suicide. Thanks to bullies and to assholes who feel that "hate the sin and love the sinner" shows anything resembling love and affection, more gay teens are killing themselves. I'm enormously sorry for them. This is the start of the article. If you know someone who might benefit, let them see this.

Every action is a result of a thought. When we are talking about preventing suicide, and more specifically, preventing the deaths of more young gay people, we are gravely remiss if we do not address the "shoulds" behind the attempts. More specifically, no gay suicide has been attempted without the following equation:

I should be straight + I should be normal
= I shouldn't be alive

Quote du jour

Love it!

You know why the Democrat's symbol is the letter "D"? Because it's a grade that means passing, but just barely. You know why the Republican's symbol is the letter "R"? Because it's the sound pirates makes when they rob you and feed you to the sharks. --Bill Maher

Tasteless joke du jour

I heard this at the conference I'm at right now.

A pedophile, a Nazi, and a homophobe walks into a bar.

The bartender says "What can I get for you, Your Holiness?"

Utah now officially most backward state in the U.S.

Texas demands recount!

Here's what Utah's up to. Jesus H. Christ in a baggie! They deserve mockery and scorn.

Something Avi Hein said this morning on Twitter reminded me of another Hedtke's Law:
