Flagging Support

I guess it depends on the flag.

People Rage

Rage... it's not just for roads anymore.

Do you find that more and more people seem to have lost their manners?

Hillsborough County Driver Road Rage Incident Caught On Tape

Remember the left lane is for passing; slower traffic should stay right.

Happy Friday everybody.

Spring Has Sprung

Welcome to our world.

*sniff*

Pollen is everywhere.

*ah-choooo*

It does beat snow storms.

All Business

Our German Shepherd, Elke, (above) is on a mission to serve and protect during a recent trip to a nearby dog park. Good dog!

On the other hand of the spectrum, you have this little pup who is on a mission to do something hilarious, but naughty. Bad dog!

What A Dog Does When You're Not Home

Bad or good, you gotta love those pups.

Tolerance

Professor Mireille Miller-Young, whose research emphasis is black studies, pornography, and sex work, (ahem), is being prosecuted for misdemeanor theft, battery, and vandalism in connection with her assault on Ms. Thrin Short.

UPDATE: FEMINIST PROFESSOR WHO ATTACKED PRO-LIFE STUDENT CHARGED WITH CRIMINAL BATTERY

Good. I hope she's prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

USA Brackets

As if you haven't had enough of hearing about brackets...

This is the real March madness.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

This is one of my favorite jokes...

A duck walks into a bar and asks, "Got grapes?"

The bartender, confused, tells the duck that no, his bar doesn't serve grapes. The duck thanks him and leaves.

The next day, the duck returns and asks, "Got grapes?"

Again, the bartender tells him that, no, the bar does not serve grapes, has never served grapes, and, furthermore, will never serve grapes. The duck, a little ruffled, thanks him and leaves.

The next day, the duck returns, but before he can say anything, the bartender begins to yell: "Listen, duck! This is a bar! We do not serve grapes! If you ever ask for grapes again, I will nail your stupid duck beak to the bar!"

The duck looks at the bartender and asks, "Got nails?"

Surprised, the bartender says, “No, we don’t have any nails.”

“Good," the duck says, "Got grapes?”

It's an oldie but a goody.

Enjoy your green beer!

Go Girl

Can anyone tell me if they still believe that Sarah Palin would'nt have been a better Vice-President than Joe Biden?

Comon on, be honest.

Happy Friday and Pi Day, everybody.

Dead Mug

My husband broke my favorite mug... one that we drove 6,288 miles up Mount Washington to purchase (I'd show you a picture, but I'm having trouble accessing pictures from my camera)

Mount Washington Drive Yourself Auto Road

I cwent online and then called them up to order a replacement and, because of the awful weather, their shop isn't going to be open until end of May.

:-(

My husband should be in the doghouse, shouldn't he?

Mystery Flight

It Had GPS, An Indestructible Black Box And A Beacon Designed To Float To The Surface: So How On Earth Can A Boeing 777 Just Vanish Over The Sea?

Unless we're willing to go into the Twilight Zone, we're either left with a catastrophic event which left very little trace evidence of the plane, or it was forced down someplace.

What a horrible situation for all involved.

Tampa Times

I was watching HLN news this morning when this story came on...

Family Poisoned With LSD-laced Meat

I'm watching and thinking how unbelievable this whole story is and, suddenly, the police chief from my town comes on national TV to talk about the case. I'm thinking, "I should have known it was Tampa!"

At this point, I'm smelling something fishy, but we have to wait for the evidence.

Diner Attacked After Refusing Seattle Man's Demand For A Bite Of His Burrito

... try taking a bit out of this 'purrito' and you'll pull back a stump.

Happy Friday everybody!

The Shoshinator

This is one of our kitties. Her name is Soshin and she's a Maine Coon. Although she has no front claws, she doesn't let that stop her from being an avid hunter.

A while back, I saw her walking around with a lizard sticking out of her mouth like a cigar. I thought of Edward G. Robinson right away... "A wild cat, yeh?" I called her Stogey for a few days.

A couple of days ago, I saw Shoshin with another lizard. This time, I ran outside and saved it. I had it in my hand and my husband remarked that it might be already dead. I told him that it didn't feel dead to me because it was moving in my hand. Just then the little sucker bit my hand! [Let me just say that sucker was not the word that came out of my mouth. I'm just keeping it clean]

Sometimes you just can't win.

Polly Wanna Killer?

I love this story:

Who needs Colombo when you have Polly on the case?

Merkel & Bibi

German chancellor Angela Merkel has a singular ability to have unphotogenic photos taken of her. Just search my blog and you'll find some. This one is no different:

Bibi Merkel Photo Makes Waves

A Hitler mustache... really? On a German chancellor?

Yes, It's Monday

Took a cat and a dog to the vet this morning and have been dragging my butt ever since.

App What?

Mapping The Long And Short Of Sex

There's an app for that?

Werewolf In Sochi

Olympic Athlete Spots Possible Wolf In Dorm

It's hard to tell from the brief video, but it looks like a scrawny wolf to me. Heck, it is Russia after all. I have a female German Shepherd who looks bigger than that "wolf"...

Good!

Muslims 'Warned In Fatwa Not To Live On Mars'

OK, we don't want you there anyway.

Remember the old joke... why aren't there any moslems in Star Trek?

...'cause it takes place in the future.

Be Careful! Giant Pacific Octopi might want to steal your camera equipment.

They're really smart...

Camera equipment is really expensive.

Clown Shortage?

I think we're all OK with this...

EXCLUSIVE: National Clown Shortage May Be Approaching, Trade Organizations Fear

I don't like clowns, but Pennywise is the creepiest one I've ever seen.

Not So Sunny News

This was mindboggling to me:

One In Four Americans 'Do Not Know The Earth Circles The Sun'

I grant that some of these questions may have been theoretical and I can see some equivocation here and there, but IT IS A FACT that the earth orbits the sun and everyone on this planet should know that.

This is just unbelievable.

Danish Zookeepers Kill Baby Giraffe Then Fed Him To The Lions

I've taken enough biology classes to understand the need for culling a herd, preventing genetic inbreeding, and all the excuses given by the Copenhagen Zoo.

What I don't understand is the dismemberment of a giraffe IN FRONT OF A CROWD INCLUDING MANY CHILDREN and then feeding the parts to the lions.

What were they thinking?
