Another Primitive Dinosaur with Rocket Launcher

Posted by on

A reader sent this in which seems to be another primitive attempt at a dinosaur with a rocket launcher:

I dunno. Seems kind of a poor attempt. The idea is that a dinosaur is intimidating in itself — and then you add rocket launchers. A camel is just too awkward looking to be intimidating, even with the gatling gun. It’s like you could put a bazooka on a musk ox, but it would still look silly. One of these days we’re just going to have to buckle down and get our dinosaurs because no other animal is going to meet the needs of the future for our military.

Manning Up

Posted by on

During the debate, Sharon Angle told Harry Reid to “Man up,” to which Reid replied, “Absolutely not, that’s why I’m a Democrat.”

That got me thinking: There are all these political woman organizations, but none for men. It would be kind of nice to have an organization that could speak up and declare, “Reid is a emasculated sissy, and he doesn’t speak for men.” An organization that could lobby for things of interest to men like:

* Bacon
* Guns
* Explosions
* Eating all the salt and transfats we want
* Violent video games
* Decreased sensitivity/awareness of PC crap
* Cigars
* Punching hippies

I guess that kind of makes me think of Al Bundy’s “No Ma’am” club from Married with Children (which would be a great name for anti-Barbara Boxer group). Still, worth considering making for real.

What issues related to manning up do you think needs to be lobbied for?

Brain Swelling

Posted by on

I thought a brain outgrowing its skull was a myth people spread about whatever is considered the “dangerous breed” of the day, but Joe Biden apparently has evidence it’s happening to Obama. I guess that makes sense.

AIDES: “People are really concerned about jobs. We need to do something about that.”

OBAMA: “Ahh! My brain hurts! Nationalize health care!”

AIDES: “That… doesn’t make any sense.”

And then Obama snaps and starts biting people.

The myth is that brain swelling can cause a dog to attack its owner, so we should be concerned if Obama starts attacking unions.

Random Thoughts

Man, how did I not know for so long that one of my blog readers worked on the Simpsons for ten seasons (eight of them good seasons!)? That’s like the time I was on a plane and found out I was sitting next to a guy who worked on the Apollo missions in NASA.

Think we got our first legitimate smile from Buttercup. It was from SarahK and I singing her Birdhouse in Your Soul.

Probably not a good sign when I’m amazed my program actually compiled.

Modern Family got all the attention, but I think I like The Middle even better.

Have you seen that Halloween candy Snickers ad? It’s like they put giving people nightmares over selling their product.

Who can’t remember the thrill of finally unlocking the invincibility code on Goldeneye. That was a feat.

Kinda like kids are forced to read Great Expectations, I hope their forced to play Goldeneye at school to be cultured.

I don’t think I’ve seen the movie Goldeneye since playing Goldeneye, but who care about the movie anymore.

I am watching baseball. I haven’t done that in years. I forgot how slow moving it is. No vuvuzelas, though.

I’ve decided to become an elitist. Obviously, I don’t care what you think about it, you hillbillies.

Now I’ve decided to become a redneck. Obviously, I don’t care what you think about it, you elitists.

I think the computers that do the rankings in the BCS will eventually become SkyNet.
