“…and Much, Much More!”

“Stay Warm & Snuggle up with your significant other. The Snuggie® Blanket keeps you totally warm and gives you the freedom to use your hands!” (Snuggie Couples)

I remember a time not long ago when “using your hands” during “snuggling” your “significant other” was exclusively done under/inside the blanket, and this was actually considered a feature, not a bug.

On second thought, maybe this is what the ominous THIRD SLEEVE is for. The picture of the smiling, interracial couple is just an innocent cover for how this thing is really meant to work. Much like this blonde showing off the many potential uses of her “personal massager” (you know you’ll click that link, eventually, so don’t try to resist it). Ewww.

OMG TURBANS

Mr. Williams, sadly, is woefully unspecific about what he means by “muslim garb” . How, then, are we to spot The Other during airtravel? What should make us nervous? What should make us storm down the aisle, clutching a plastic knife and a pack of black-pepper-substitute, prepared to prevent a second 9/11? Tumblr to the rescue: Muslims Wearing Things.

A Friend of the Earth

22. October 2010 — cohu

I totally understand that our friends, the rats, are beginning to feel cold at this time of the year, and prefer our cozy roof to the outdoors which can be rather nippy at night. Our brothers and sisters, the rats, are basically squirrels with a tiny bit of fur missing on their tails. They are amazingly beautiful creatures, with strong social bonds and high intelligence; also, they have awesome whiskers. Like us, they are children of Mother Earth, and we should aspire to living in harmony with them and their close-knit communities, treasuring their relationship to the natural environment, their age-old tribal traditions and their understanding of sun, moon and the seasons.

However, if those jerks don’t stop using the attic above our bedroom as their toilet-spot, I’M GOING UP THERE WITH A BASEBALL BAT, A MACHETE, A SAWED-OFF SHOTGUN, A CAN OF GASOLINE, A BLOW TORCH, A JAR OF NAPALM, AND A FUCKING AIR CARRIER FULL OF NUCLEAR-MISSILE-LADEN FIGHTER JETS TO SHOW THEM HOW CIVILIZATION WORKS!!!!!!

P.S. Happy Caps Lock Day!

Sfgate reports that “The military is accepting openly gay recruits for the first time in the nation’s history.” The perfect excuse for posting this cute picture of innocent male bonding I took during Fleet Week. Speaking of which – how does the military prove that someone is gay? The “Explainer” explains that:
“Technically, the military doesn’t fire people for being gay—it fires them for engaging in “homosexual conduct.” This comprises: touching a member of the same sex for sexual gratification (including handholding or hugging), marrying someone of the same sex, or announcing that you’re gay.” (Slate.com)
Holding hands for sexual gratification! – this country is full of depraved sex practices we Europeans would never dream of. Anyway, the military’s gaydar was apparently re-calibrated at some point during the last three decades. How else would you explain the Navy’s official friendly cooperation in the production of this video in 1978:

The adjective may have been overused during recent years, but really: whales are awesome.

“After tramping 70km through Nki National Park in the congo basin rainforest in Cameroon, we stayed the night at the Baka pygmy village on the outskirts of the park. One of villagers, Pierre, was our guide. The next day they performed some traditional music for me. They were infatuated with the videos i took. It was an amazing experience…..To get to this village (…) required a two day squishy hot bus trip then a 5 hour drive in a landrover. We had to hire someone just to chainsaw through the trees that constantly fall across the small road.”

Today's harvest

Europe, you may not rule the world anymore, but you still have culture. Like the famous Bulgarian buttermilk bugs, and all those other microbes that make life worth living, crawling through our world-famous cheeses, wines, beers and independent movies. Note the qualifier:

I walked all the way to Monterey Market and carried you home in my hand-woven shopping basket, in order not to spoil your exquisite OLD WORLD STYLE with américain behaviour. But alas, I was disappointed. The little butter pieces are missing. (Still very refreshing when blended with ripe Mangoes.)
