Nice Shootin’ There, Tex

February 5th, 2010

Spotted this on the front page of cnn.com:

Umm….one question: What exactly is this gun-wielding madman aiming at?  Please, please, please tell me the target is wearing bulletproof boxers.

No Babies?

February 4th, 2010

While putting the nursery together we noticed this icon printed on a vacuum seal bag:

So…what you’re telling me is that I shouldn’t put baby in the vacuum bag?  Come on…the next thing you’ll be telling me is that I shouldn’t put my hand in a running garbage disposal, jump out of a moving car, or stare at the sun for extended periods of time.  Why, that would be crazy talk.

Sheep Born With Human Face

January 15th, 2010

I heard a story on the radio as I was driving home from work last night that a sheep in Turkey gave birth to a lamb with a distinctly human looking face.  Now this I had to see for myself.  Making a mental note of the source website, I pulled the car into the garage, petted and fed the cat, powered up the laptop, and was greeted by this bizarre sight:

Bizarre mutation?  Photoshopped picture?  Or could this be the result of human / animal crossbreeding?  

Okay…that last question was a bit of a stretch, but geezy creezy, look at that thing.  I hate to think what sort of abominations would roam this good Earth if human / animal crossbreeding was indeed possible.

His Name Is Robert Paulson

January 12th, 2010

Playing Fallout 3 this afternoon I found myself knee deep in Super Mutants while trying to track down my scientist father who skipped out on me (thanks, dad) in his relentless pursuit of supplying the war torn landscape with clean drinking water.  Scanning through my Pip-Boy 3000 I noticed this odd contract in my inventory I picked up after being attacked by a band of renegades whilst wandering the vast wastelands:

For the uninitiated, Robert Paulson is the name of a character in Chuck Palahniuk’s novel Fight Club:

And so I, the protagonist of Fallout 3, am named after a charter whose nickname was “Bitch Tits”.  Fantastic.

I’m constantly amazed at how this book (and movie) has permeated into the consciousness of America.  It couldn’t have happened to a finer work of fiction (at this point I’d like to name drop Chuck’s best (IMHO) book, Survivor.  Go read it.  Now.)

If I didn’t take a moment to point out this Fight Club sighting, I’d forever regret it ;-)

This Is The Car I Take Grocery Shopping

January 11th, 2010

Spotted this outside our local grocery store this weekend:

I wonder how many bumpers he goes through each week ;-)
