The Onion has really been knocking it out of the park lately with their dings on both sides of the party lines.
Cindy McCain Claims She’s “Just Like Any Other Female Human”
That one was my favorite until this gem came along:
Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are
Also, take the time to read this short post, it’s hilarious.
The punch line of this installment of the always funny “Order of the Stick” sounds like a conversation that could very well go on at our house. No, I’m not saying that Maryanne is a balding old man, but in this case she definitely has that same mindset.
In the past people have asked me how effective I think martial arts would actually be in a ‘real world’ situation. I’ve always felt that rarely would I use any of the more ‘flashy’ things I have learned and would fall back on the more simple judo or jujitsu techniques.
This video is a great example of why:
While living a good chunk of time in Santa Cruz, I ran into a lot of people who felt their viewpoint on the world should override that of anyone who thought differently. Ironically enough, many such people become oppressive in their fight against oppression. The example that comes to mind is that of the femi-nazi. Under the guise of promoting equality amongst the sexes, these people end up going to the far extreme and degrading anything remotely “male”.
I’ve always felt the need to give these people grief. I guess its my rebellious nature. Today I came up with a term for a person (like myself) who rebels against overly aggressive feminism.
Suffrajoes.
For a while I’ve been wondering about a specific item that we all have seen and/or used at some point in our lives. This item was designed to stand between us and virulent diseases. It is intended to be used by every man and woman, boy and girl that leaves their house to venture out into the scary world we live in. The item in question is the paper toilet seat cover, or as I like to call it, the “Butt Gasket”
Now what I really want to know is, how effective is the gasket? I would tend to think that any disease that was virulent enough to pass from the shining ivory of the throne to your backside and cause you harm would be strong enough that a slip of paper would hardly get in its way.
Is it a matter of cleanliness? If the seat is wet from a previous visitor, all the gasket will do is soak it up and become wet as well. So now, instead of sitting on a hard wet surface, you’re sitting on a wet surface that could possibly stick to you and travel around with you after you leave. Looking at the toilet situation in my office, I’d have to say that the seats are always very clean and shiney. I sit rather close to the bathroom and have noticed that they are cleaned every day. Now that’s not to say that the toilet seats are cleaned each and every day, but I can guarantee you they are cleaned more often than I clean the toilet at my house. Should I buy a pack of gaskets for home?
Sometimes this modern world is just too much for me…
