First bubble man, now bubble woman

This ad appeared adjacent to an article by Ann Coulter.

Are they kidding? Why would anyone waste money on whatever they're selling. The ad itself probably works better to boost testosterone. Well, maybe it's not as effective when it's in close proximity to Coulter--the anti-testosterone.

Bubble man

The following ad appeared in my hotmail window. Who is this ad directed at? Does anyone in the world actually want to look like this? Even the genitals appear to be "blown up". Okay, maybe that wouldn't be so bad.

Misheard lyrics?

I was just looking at/ listening to a Youtube video of Styx's song Babe. I love this song but right near the beginning, I believed the lyrics posted on the video were incorrect. So, I checked the lyrics on about eight different lyrics sites and they all agreed with the vid I was watching and disagreed with me.       I then listened to (and watched) another video and sure enough, the lyrics on-screen seemed incorrect to me and were different from what my ears were telling me I was hearing. I must hear something different than what everyone else hears. What do you hear?

Do you hear "My train is going. I see it in your eyes--the love, the need, your tears."?

Or do you hear something else?

I'll post what I hear down below the two videos. The first one is the original recording; second is a live performance. The lyric starts at about :49 of the first vid and at about :44 in the second one.
















What I hear is "My train is going. I see it in your eyes--the love beneath your tears."

What do you think?

Google is smarter than I thought

I was searching for a recent article by Ann Coulter, so I clicked on my "google" bookmark, clicked on "news", then started to type "coulter". As soon as I hit the "r" key, low and behold...

Shenanigans

I just realized that I used the word "shenanigans" twice in the last five postings in this blog. Got me to thinking...ever notice how shenanigans are always in groups? I mean, how often have you seen a single shenanigan? I mean besides here. They are almost always in a group. The same goes for "antics". You rarely read or hear about someone's antic. They are always chock full of antics. I guess a person with one antic isn't all that interesting. You need to have at least two antics to be noteworthy.

We have a long way to go

If you've ever felt like the whole world is out to screw you over, relax. You're not paranoid--you're probably right (depending on where you live)! And now you have proof. The following image illustrates the level of government corruption measured as perceived by citizens of each respective country as well as other measures such as the amount of transparency, etc. The darker red colours denote extremely corrupt nations. The darker blue defines less corruption. This is the 2012 version.

It does not paint (pun intended) an encouraging picture, does it? Most of the world is steeped in corruption. No wonder so many people still suffer in poverty and otherwise.

Here's a chart using the same data:

Katy Perry was quite surprised

Yeah, I was about as surprised as Katy Perry looks by the photo below, but not for the reason you might think. I added the dog to the image...which seemed to me was missing from the original shot. Either a dog was missing or Perry's mind was. ;) The dog might explain her look of astonishment.

What the heck was going on in that moment the shutter snapped? Maybe she had a flashback to the evening before when she was high as a kite and dancing with a dog? French kissing a dog?

Just a bit too obvious

Oprah Tweets how much she loves the Microsoft Surface tablet...from her Apple iPad. One wonders how much Microsoft paid her to say so...and how pissed Microsoft is at her...and how hysterical Apple is at the whole shenanigan.

How tragic.

That a girl's family hated her so much that they thank her killer. Just awful.

Too soon? Sorry.

Q & A's from around the web

Q: I used to like this guy, but with his behaviour i don't like him anymore?

I didn't agree to go out with him but he kept insisting to go with him. when i made an excuse that my parents wont allow he got mad and didn't text back. He used to call me up only for notes and out of all the students he'd call only me up. Now since the exams are over he doesn't bother to even look at me.. So what is his problem?, is he like using me or something?

A: Each and every person has blunder. thus, we need to rectify by giving suggestion. if person is perfect, she or he is god.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That was a very spiritual and philosophic answer to a simple dating question. The other answer was just a tad more direct...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A: **** it. Punch his dong off and don't talk to him no more.

Amazing research!

I had  no idea that monkeys were capable of conducting such complex research. We need for these monkeys to replace the ones we have in pubic office.


Note: Yeah, that was a typo. It should have read "pubic orifice". I ran out of White-out.

Baby, how'd we ever get this way?

How does an average guy in a decidedly below average organization "earn" over $9 million a year? DeMar DeRosan just signed a four-year deal with the NBA Toronto Raptors, a team which has only made the playoffs five times in their 16 year history, only once advancing to the second round; a team with an all-time "winning" percentage of an embarrassing 42%.

How much does the average guy where you work make? Has your company failed miserably for the last 16 years? Of course not--they'd be out of business. So, why is it that this band of losers is not only still making money, but paying huge salaries to everyone responsible for their massive ongoing failure? You know these losers wouldn't be paid so much if you losers out there wouldn't pay to watch a horrible team night after night, year after year, decade after decade. What--you just can't get your fill of failure? We have people homeless and children hungry while assholes pay big bucks to watch bigger assholes paid bigger bucks by bigger assholes to play another squad of assholes who are paid even bigger bucks...

Who said it?

Can anyone guess who said the following? Who can you imagine saying it? If you know the answer, don't spoil it for others.

"The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own. We make the rules, pal. The news, war, peace, famine, upheaval, the price per paper clip. We pick that rabbit out of the hat while everybody sits out there wondering how the hell we did it. Now you're not naive enough to think we're living in a democracy, are you buddy?"

New and improved crap

Pizza Hut really struck gold with this idea.

If the lactose in the cheese isn't making you sick enough, the fat and cholesterol in the red meat isn't clogging your arteries enough, and the white flour isn't clogging up your butt enough, throw in some hooves and ears (or beaks and feet if it's a chicken hot dog) into the crust. Oh, there's no time to pick up a phone. You need one right now. Order online! While you're at it, you may as well call the paramedics. The amount of time between suffering a heart attack and receiving treatment is critical for recovery. Invite them in to watch TV with you while you wait for your coronary.

Psycho

If you didn't have enough proof that corporations fit every description of  "psychopath", here's the latest:

Energizer Holdingsthe consumer goods conglomerate that produces Banana Boat products, announced Friday that certain of the brand's sunscreen sprays may potentially burst into flames on users' skin if they come in contact with a flame or spark before the spray is completely dry.
Energizer said it has received reports of four "adverse events" in which the sprays have caused burns in the U.S., and one in Canada."Adverse events"??? How else would you categorize someone responsible for causing a human being to suddenly and without warning burst into flames and calling it an "adverse event", if not a psychopath?

"Mr. Browne, this is County Hospital calling. I'm afraid I have some bad news. Your 16 year old daughter was sunbathing and she had a um, 'adverse event'."

"Dang--that girl seems to be allergic to just about everything. How bad is it?"

"Well, let's just say that if she wanted to be cremated, she saved you a little cash."

Full Story.
