Andy pointed me to a pretty amusing video: the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) rap. If your favorite FoxTrot character is Jason, you’ll probably love this!

LHC rap!
Remember the highly slanted article in the Wall Street Journal, Three Martini Renovation? A lot of people were pretty upset with the author for hoodwinking them into contributing to her preconceived piece. But the timing worked out pretty well–since the article appeared shortly before Halloween, some people chose to find the humor in the situation. Check out the photo at the top of this article:
On a related note, the original WSJ article, (which is no longer available for free), was re-printed in the Chicago paper, and Jason and Jennifer (Humphrey House bloggers) were at least able to get some editing done on the story.
Oh. My. God! Hat tip to acetylene for this Elizabethan-flavored “Who’s on first?” I laughed so hard I almost threw up!

W.W.G.W.B.D.?
Andy left a hardcopy of the W.W.G.W.B.D.? flowchart on my desk the other day. It was so hilarious that I had to share it with everybody!

Bush’s exit strategy
I saw a great bumper sticker yesterday:
At least in Vietnam, Bush had an exit strategy
Back in the 60’s and 70’s, joining the National Guard was the “honorable” way to keep your privileged butt from being sent into a war zone. Nowadays it’s not so effective…

Wil, you crack me up!
Wil Shipley writes some interesting stuff in his blog, but something in this post just cracked me up:
Google employees are the Kobe Beef of computer programmers
(because Google is made up of a bunch of well-massaged, well-fed, lovable computer wonks).
I admit this post is completely pointless, but the mental image of a bunch of hackers getting massages and chewing their cuds while they banged out code was just too funny for me to pass up.
Apparently the Joint Chiefs of Staff object to this cartoon:
Perhaps they didn’t bother to read the name on the end of the bed, “U.S. ARMY”. Obviously this isn’t intended to represent a maimed veteran; rather, it’s a reflection on the current state of our armed forces.
The real “problem” with this particular cartoon is that it’s so damnably effective, much to the chagrin of the Joint Chiefs and the Bush administration. Recruiting is getting tougher, “stop-loss” is hitting its limit, and every day more people are realizing that Bush got us into this Iraq mess without a plan.

Superbowl #40
Normally I couldn’t care less about major media sport events. The only reason I know the date of the Superbowl is:
- It’s the best day to go skiing (because everybody’s in the lodge watching the game, the slopes are practically deserted).
- It’s the date of the River City Beemer’s annual motorcycle maintenance (and Superbowl) party.
But this year, I even managed to find out what citys’ teams were playing:
Gee, I wonder who the artist favors?
Thanks for the ‘toon, Punk!

This is SO bad…
If large-breasted women work at Hooters, where do one-legged women work? (Click on “more…” for the punchline.) Continue reading ‘This is SO bad…’
