Happy Birthday!

"Happy Birthday to Him who never called the poor 'lazy', hated on gays, defended torture, advocated executing sinners, or demanded tax cuts for the wealthiest Nazarenes." --John Fugelsang

Happy Birthday!

A word worth noting

Daniel Lombardo, in response to a discussion of John McCain's merits as an asshat for his stand on DADT, used the term asshaberdasher. He said "Make a note, you saw it here, the first use of the word asshaberdasher. Definition: One who spreads false propaganda in a way that convinces others to become asshats."

I started entering this blog post with the intention of logging his contribution to the growth and development of the English language, but when I started checking online, it appears, alas!, that Daniel is too late, too late, too late.

I'm sorry, dude. It was a valiant try.

Tasteless Joke du Jour

I don't know if it's the season or what, but the tasteless jokes just seem to be flying thick and fast:

Son takes his father to the doctor. Doctor gives them the bad news that the father is dying of cancer. Father tells the son that he has had a good long life and wants to stop at the bar on the way home to celebrate it.

While at the bar, the father sees several of his friends. He tells them that he is dying of AIDS.

When the friends leave the son asks, "Dad, you're dying of cancer. Why did you tell them that you are dying of AIDS?"

The father replies, "I don't want them fucking your mother after I'm gone!"

Tasteless Joke du Jour

In the "totally tasteless" category, my good friend Mi Robin passed on something from a friend of his, David Darnell, who said "I locked my keys in my car outside of an abortion clinic the other night. It turns out they get really pissed when you go in and ask them for a coat hanger."

Tasteless Joke du Jour

That's logic, that is!

Luke McGuff pointed out the following:

GIVEN that if you put instant coffee in a microwave oven, you go back in time;

and

GIVEN that if you put a mirror face-down on a copier, you fall into another dimension;

THEREFORE if you put a mirror in a microwave, and instant coffee on top, the instant coffee will go back in time to another dimension.

QED.

That's logic, that is!

Mi Robin gets the credit for this one:

A: To get to the other side.

Q: Why did the tachyon cross the road?

Ah, the blessings of the season!

Okay, okay, I'm a sleaze who enjoys totally pulchritudinous objectification. (Um, this is news to anyone?) But I really thought this was fun in a tasteless way. It's the La Senza Cup Size Choir. La Senza makes all kinds of lingerie and the Cup Size Choir is models from A to G that you can play on your keyboard. (Press Shift and hit the appropriate key to go up an octave, FYI.) You can view a prerecorded version of Deck the Halls at that site by clicking the link at the bottom of the screen. You can also meet the models in the clip below.

Ah, the blessings of the season!

Experiment du jour

I just poured a bag of Skittles in the toilet and flushed. It was like a ten-second Nascar race!

Yet another fucking disk crash---aaaargh!

For the 5th (I think--I'm losing count) time since early summer of last year, I've had yet another C: drive die on me. My computer guy has given me a new motherboard and a new processor and a new boot drive all on warranty, but I've still got to spend tons of time reinstalling and reconfiguring everything. I was ready to be done with this garbage after the 3rd time it happened, but, nope, I apparently had more in store.

Just stay the hell outa my way for the time being and we'll all be happier. Yuck. :(
