Booby

Some days you just feel like a blue-footed booby.
Huh-huh. Huh huh huh huh. Hey Beavis, she said "booby."
That doesn't really make sense, I just wanted to say it.
I am ill. Hopefully the Dr. will give me some good drugs tomorrow.

Gaiety

If you liked Brokeback Mountain, you'll love "Brokeback to the Future" and "Star Wars: The Empire Brokeback."
Speaking of gay men, look here to see the coolest skating costume (and routine) ever.

A-Maze-Ing

OK, see if you are better with hand-eye coordination than I am. It took me several tries to get to the end of this maze. Leave me a comment to let me know how much faster you are than me. Where's the link, you ask? Well, it's RAT CHEER

Hello

I'm still here! More soon...

Happy Valentine's Day

This was supposedly a message a guy set up for his girlfriend to see out her window. Cool.

Mr. Angry and Mrs. Calm

Okay, this is weird. If you squint or back away from the monitor, the faces switch. Go ahead, try it.
Trippy.

Why You Shouldn't Drink at Mardi Gras

This might fly on Bourbon Street, but I don't think it'd go over too well in our little town.

Steph's on Meth

Jodie Sweetin, Stephanie on "Full House," admitted recently that she had been addicted to meth. Apparently even her husband (at the time), who was a cop, didn't know about her using. Apparently, and I'm not making this up, she cleaned up after an intervention staged by her former TV family, including Bob Saget (Dad), Candace Cameron (D.J.), the Olsen twins (Michelle), and John Stamos (The always scrumptious Uncle Jesse). Her rehab reportedly took only 30 minutes, minus commercial breaks (cue laugh track).
Today's trivia challenge: What did the initials D.J. stand for? What was the family's last name? What actor played the goofy stand-up comic Joey? List as much of the theme song's lyrics as you can. A hint: the name of it is "Everywhere You Look."
The even bigger question is, Why do I remember this stuff?

It's Groundhog Day!

And Punxatawney Phil saw his shadow. "Good," I say. We need another 6 weeks of "winter," since 85% of the time it is hotter than blue blazes around here.
Do yourself a favor: today is the perfect day to watch this classic holiday movie you probably haven't seen in a while. This movie gets funnier each time I see it. Wonder if it'll be on TBS or something today? If not, go rent it. I command you, especially if you (for some lame reason) have never seen it.

Dingbats

Scientific proof that size matters. You must read this.

An old friend of mine might disagree with the findings, but she can't argue with science. Besides, her idea of intelligence differs from mine.

Within every stereotype there is a grain of truth.

Interestingly enough, I recently saw something on TV about bat genitalia. They showed some apparently really stupid bats. Fascinating.

Only click here if you are prepared for a very graphic illustration of an idiotic bat. You have been warned.

Wee Haw..

Tips on Getting More Efficiency from your Women Employees

The following is an excerpt from the July 1943 issue of Transportation Magazine. This was written for male supervisors of women in the workforce during World War II.

1.) Pick young, married women. They usually have more of a sense of responsibility than their unmarried sisters; they're less likely to be flirtatious; they need the work or they wouldn't be doing it; they still have the pep and interest to work hard and to deal with the public efficiently.

2.) When you have to use older women, try to get ones who have worked outside the home at some time in their lives. Older women who have never contacted the public have a hard time adapting themselves and are inclined to be cantankerous and fussy. It's always well to impress upon older women the importance of friendliness and courtesy.

3.) General experience indicates that "husky" girls - those who are just a little on the heavy side - are more even tempered and efficient than their underweight sisters.

4.) Retain a physician to give each woman you hire a special physical examination - one covering female conditions. This step not only protects the property against the possibilities of lawsuit, but reveals whether the employee-to-be has any female weaknesses which would make her mentally or physically unfit for the job.

5.) Give the female employee a definite day-long schedule of duties so that they'll keep busy without bothering the management for instructions every few minutes. Women make excellent workers when they have their jobs set out for them, but they lack initiative in finding work themselves.

6.) Whenever possible, let the female employee change from one job to another at some time during the day. Women are inclined to be less nervous and happier with change.

7.) Give every girl an adequate number of rest periods during the day. You have to make for some allowances for feminine psychology. A girl has more confidence and is more efficient if she can keep her hair tidied, apply fresh lipstick and wash her hands several times a day.

8.) Be tactful when issuing instructions or in making criticisms. Women are often sensitive; they can't shrug off harsh words the way men do. Never ridicule a woman - it breaks her spirit and cuts off her efficiency.

9.) Be reasonably considerate about using strong language around women. Even though a girl's husband or father may swear vociferously, she'll grow to dislike a place of business where she hears too much of this.

10.) Get enough size variety in operator's uniforms so that each girl can have a proper fit. This point can't be stressed too much in keeping women happy.

OOH, the colors!

As my loyal reader (I'm sure there must be one) has no doubt noticed, I've been playing around with the design of this page. I like the way these colors kinda play tricks on your eyes. Some look like they're popping off the screen all 3-D like, and others seem to fade into the background. Kewl!

Brokeback Bleah

My pal sent me some Brokeback Mountain cartoons, and these are the only two that didn't make me want to regurgitate. If you just must see them, e-mail me, but I will not post them here.
