Maverick Blogger Pioneers World’s First Blog Post Reboot!
Seeing the new Batman movie last night, I had this exciting epiphany about blogging.
Blogging is enormously demanding of time and energy. You have to turn out a completely new post at least every few days. For some bloggers, it’s a new post several times EACH DAY.
But sitting in the theater and looking around at the happy faces, movie-goers content to see yet another Batman movie and plop down $9.50 for the privilege, I thought about reboots. Continue reading “Maverick Blogger Pioneers World’s First Blog Post Reboot!”
Um. I Have My First Troll. I Think.
Apparently I have acquired a troll. A nice conservative fellow who describes himself:
A 77 year old Pro Iraq War Agnostic Atheist Activist, 101st Airborne Vet and a former member of management in some of Top American 500 corporations.
Also ‘formally’ a Fire Walking, Deep Sea – Scuba Diving, Paratrooping, Bungee Jumping, Spelunking, 1 & 3 Meter Spring Board Diving, Partying & Dancing, Rock Climbing, River Rapid Running, Expert Shooting, Life Saving, Body Surfing and Beach VolleyBall Playing Son of a Beach.
Still a Truth Telling, Women Chasing (92 times Catching) Iconoclastic, Philosophizing, Crime Stopping, & a “Barking” Grumpy Old “Son Of A Beach.” Continue reading “Um. I Have My First Troll. I Think.”
Making the Rounds: Should Women Be Spanked?
There’s a newspaper clipping making the rounds today. It’s all over Facebook, and I’ve found it in a number of other webby places.
No, it’s not this one. It’s that other one — below.
I couldn’t find out anything specific about the clipping (I’m only assuming it’s authentic), but the New York Mirror newspaper was published between 1924 and 1963. Continue reading “Making the Rounds: Should Women Be Spanked?”
On The Bright Side …
Yes, this is a commercial. Still.
God Weighs In on ‘God Particle’ Discovery
“I wish people would stop bringing Me into it.”
So complained God, the supernatural superbeing and all-powerful deity of the Bible, in an exclusive interview today with FreethoughtBlogs’ Blue Collar Atheist.
We sat in a small café in Schenectady, New York. On the day after Rolf Heuer, director of European physics research center CERN, announced the likely discovery of the Higgs Boson, God appeared in a blinding flash at roughly 9:17 a.m. (all the clocks stopped, as did most of the people in the room), stepping down from a small cloud as a host of angelic cherubs kept up a continuous long choral note.

Wisdom of the Aged. Er, Ages.
Random Shit I’ve Learned:
Dogs like icewater in the summer, just like people do.
The burger you get at the counter has no resemblance to the picture of the burger on the poster.
If they tell you it’s “for your own good” or “to serve you better” … it isn’t.
After you lose half your hair, the pressure’s off. Continue reading “Wisdom of the Aged. Er, Ages.”
Short Stack # 15 — Mitt Romney
This is a SHORT short stack, focused on a single subject that played out today in Facebook.
Mitt Romney is so boring that …

Short Stack # 14
If your twin brother gets your wife pregnant … is it still your kid?
——————————
I’m always one of the late adopters. Apparently eating people’s faces is all the rage in this week’s news, but I think I’m going to wait a few weeks. I’m trying to lose weight.

Just saw Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets again and I’m wondering … what would happen if you stabbed a Bible with a basilisk fang? Continue reading “Short Stack # 14”
In Which I Brag on My Friend … Again
If you’re in the biological sciences and expect at some point to get published, here’s someone you should know: Carl Buell.
He’s done heaps of illustrations for science author Carl Zimmer as well as cover and interior illos for countless other books and magazines. He has pieces in museums all over the world, and has designed blog headers for PZ Myers, Chris Clarke and a number of others. (And I’ve probably written about him before, but he’s just one of those cool people you can’t say enough good stuff about.) Continue reading “In Which I Brag on My Friend … Again”
