Speaking of dreams, time to go have some.

That sounds absolutely frightening. I have had dreams not of grinds but of objects that are not considered scary and I would wake up in fear. I do not think that was not very nice of the teacher to laugh.
I was embarrassed for even bringing it up when she laughed at the idea. But then, I had very few...

Some fucknut follows me, posts stock photos for a week and then is generous enough to give me an ipad for free and I have the unmitigated gall to call him a fucknut?
How dare you, sir! You can do better than fucknut!
Oh look, the spammer got smarter and sent the fake iPhone giveaway submission thingy as “staff@tumblr.com” instead of “staffkennyvee@tumblr.com.”
Still not gonna work.

20kilosofcarrots asked: Today, I was watching the news, and of late all the Australian news has been about is the political situation. So then I was thinking to myself, "I wonder if Australian politics make it to the American news". Then tumblr popped into my head and to me you seemed to be informed on a lot of things so I thought I would ask you. Does Australian stuff (the politics of late) make it onto/into...

Ken this was fucking amazing :)
Wow, thanks, suiz! I was trying to strike a balance between added/altered text and the original. Wasn’t sure I got it right, but I’m really glad you liked it!
Destroying classical literature could be a new...

I may be a little bit deranged right now due to tiredness, but it was hysterical. I laughed so hard I almost cried a couple times. So yes, it’s a very good thing.
I’ll take a deranged-tired-hysterical-laugh-and-almost-cry any day! Thanks =)

Ali Baba, or the Forty Thieves
In a town of Persia lived two brothers, sons of a poor man; one named Cassim, the other Ali Baba. Cassim, the elder, married rich and took it easy while saying that poor people just don’t work hard enough. He was contemplating a run for the presidency; but the wife of Ali Baba was as poor as himself: they dwelt in a mean cottage in the suburbs, and he was more of a 99%-er. Ali Baba was in...

Oh, my gosh. I have so many fond memories of reading Beowulf in Brit Lit, senior year.
Mine was Junior year. The whole time, all I could think was “if I was still in the advanced class, this would be easier, because people wouldn’t be interrupting with questions every two lines.”

Beowulf
Oh my. Funny story about Beowulf…when I was in high school, just after I’d dropped from advanced classes to regular (I went for the easy A instead of the hard-earned B), my English class read Beowulf. It took us six months to get through it while the teacher tried to explain it. By the...

Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.
Would you believe I’ve never read that (this is about to change)? That may make this the perfect choice. Plus, it’s short. Good call.
I’ve been thinking of spoofing a classic short story just for fun (sort of like I spoofed The Bible not too long ago)…something in the public domain so that I don’t have to buy anything, or worry about getting sued. Nothing too long, of course.
Any suggestions/requests?

“Stupid kids do stupid things, and those stupid kids were being stupid.”
I just heard this in a gaumless local news story during an interview with an aserine young lad. Can someone buy this duncical kid a blooming thesaurus already?

RIP Ernie…
:’(
New Orleans Square won’t be the same without Ernie. Even if I wasn’t fortunate enough to hear him play on most days (his domain was in an area where ODV had no carts), it was a rare day that I didn’t see him, at least in passing, if I was in the area.
And I did indeed hear him play many times when I was off work and in...

As we’ve been noting, corporate profits have made it back to their pre-recession heights (even if corporate tax revenue hasn’t followed suit). In fact, in 2011, corporate profits hit their highest level since 1950. But as Bloomberg News noted today, this hasn’t translated into wage growth or more purchasing power for workers:
Companies are...

I did enjoy the guffaw from the crowd when Newt described himself as “cheerful.”

When a woman can no longer control her own reproductive system because of someone else’s religious beliefs, it is no longer freedom of religion. It is the infringement of religion onto human freedom.

Too long to tweet - A Story
I couldn’t pare this down to 140 and hit my two main points, so instead I’m going to lengthen it and tell you a short story. It is entirely fictional. Any similarities to real persons and events are entirely intentional, however.
Mark had a dream.
He wanted to be a superstar, but even he knew that he didn’t have the talent. Still, he was sure that he wouldn’t be the worst...

“WWE heavyweight champion CM Punk is lashing back at Chris Brown … claiming the singer isn’t just a liar … but a total “coward” who never truly “paid” for what he did to Rihanna. “
I was flipping channels and got to a WWE broadcast as they were talking about this. They didn’t give many details other than to say that this guy and Chris “The Fuckface” Brown (I...

sirshucky replied to your post: Mardi Gras
Hand Grenades are a pretty good drink too. I saw a woman picked up by her coat for resisting arrest to a cop on horseback. She ended up snatched up by her hair and the horse stepped on her feet trying to resist further.
You’re right. I can’t believe I forgot about those…although I drank way more hurricanes, personally.
