“Why’d you use a yellow one, Marv? The yellow ones are better.”

– Uncle Marvin’s friend Brian after Marv put an optic yellow Top Flite into the drink on the 7th hole of today’s 9. If you are a golfer, or even a reformed one like me, you’ll know that this is priceless. If not, then imagine a 60 year-old man in calf-length jorts and an AC/DC...

the whole thing smacks of (non) effort

i feel like this is the movie poster for every comedy movie made for the last decade. right? not one bit of care taken. not having television means i have no idea what movies are out, whom they star, or which is oscar-worthy. i’d never even heard of this abortion until i saw it on the redbox. having tv-blinders on means my senses are heightened to other media promotions. ok, not really...

After instituting abstinence-only sex ed., Texas... →

bringtheruckuss: Texas lawmakers cut sex ed from two six-month courses to a single unit of “abstinence only” education. But early indications showed that the program wasn’t working. In fact, teens in almost all high school grades were having more sex after undergoing the abstinence only program. By 2007, Texas had the highest teen birth rate in the nation. if this weren’t so sad,...

my most eventful lunch or: 20 minutes that shook...

it’s a thousand degrees out, so i stuck to the skyway system for today’s lunch. usually i opt for a 1pm start which thins out the numbers and allows me to linger, unfettered, whilst checking my media or reading one of the local shitty papers. my craving was pizza. i have no fucking clue why. there’s a joint in my office building called Mama’s i’d never tried. so...

Debt Political Theater Diverts Attention While... →

kateoplis: We have to realize what this country’s economy has become. Our monetary policy, through the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, privatized the money supply, gathers the wealth, puts it in the hands of the few while the Federal Reserve can create money out of nothing, give it to banks to park at the Fed while our small businesses are starving for capital.
