taking its place

Given that my phone has taken to simply dying without any previous warning or indications, I need one of these.

Or a new battery. That might do it too. [...]

like the energizer bunny

Potentially in response to my immediately previous post, my parents sent me this video:

With the comment of:

There used to be a not-very-friendly acronym for FORD – found on road dead. To our [...]

amusing

The Nissan dealership in town is running a radio ad proclaiming that they have been authorized to accept the trade-in of Toyotas covered by the recall, and to give full-market-value for those vehicles. Good for them. But then they [...]

boru versus ruskova

In honor of our republic potentially disappearing before our very eyes, I ask you this question:

What kind of world do we live in when spuds like me can actually make significantly better vodka than honest-to-God Ruskies? [...]

the way things (do not) work

I would really, really like to say that I have never seen errors like this or heard excuses like this… but… yeah… that would be a lie.

I was a military engineer for a while, after all… [...]

what a face

Jalopnik has it all wrong. It is not ugly. It is just before its time.

And, no, my brain did not make that association just because of the manufacturer’s name… how dare you suggest such a thing! [...]

Courtesy of my parents:

the internet

It is serious business.

Seems to me a lot of the guys on the fifth circle have guns… [...]

schadenfreude on ice

I am told the Winter Olympics are being held in Canada this year, and as one might expect for the country and the era, “being green” is something of a big deal. Accordingly, coal-powered electric ice resurfacers (“Zamboni” is [...]

just… wow

Speaking from personal experience, 12-ounce cans of soda may not seem like that much at the lunch table, but when you drop them just right they can, quite literally, spray their contents all over your kitchen, refrigerator, and cabinets. [...]

speaking from experience

This is exactly right. The only thing that gets you more clueless looks from a civilian is asking, “Where is the head?” [...]

coincidental, that

I knew there was a reason I loved Sluggy.
Supposedly, from the rumors floating around the cortex, the deleted scenes from the Blu-Ray/DVD release of Avatar will only further substantiate Pete Abrams’ point… [...]

heard on the way home

Me: Huh. Lookit that – a Hooters To Go.

Better Half: Doesn’t that defeat the purpose?

Me: Yeah… pretty much.

Unless, of course, the sign is referring to waitresses rather than food… after all, no one [...]

back away slowly

Now that I have adequately vented my spleen for today, it is time for something a little more amusing: the [...]

iwhatever

One day, I will stop being amazed at how fanboyishly pathetic some people get whenever Apple releases something new. One day, but not today.
I hope they all had towels [...]

the art of not being seen

The music is crap, but the use of ghillie suits is [...]

Another webcomic for you to keep up with: DOGHOUSE.
Because we all need more humor in our lives, lest we turn into the depraved whackjobs anti-rights advocates already think we are.
And when I say “humor”, I mean

condensed version

Jeff wins the intertubes for today with this comment over at WizBang:

Why is it that you can never get liberals to debate in good faith ?

A typical attempt goes like this …

Conservative: [...]

make it so

Not that the title means anything any more, but there is a certain ring to “Sir Patrick Stewart“.
However, does that make him “Captain Sir Jean-Luc Picard” or “Sir Captain Jean-Luc [...]

Seen at my local Wal-Mart: a license plate bearing “BADWOLF”.
Hm. I [...]

the darndest things

I am starting to reconsider the wisdom of giving a Stitch stuffed animal to my two-year-old niece:

Poor Stitch. And, to clarify, no, he did not come with the [...]

You know, I had never thought about that particular phrase in quite that [...]

The pun… the pun… make it [...]

just so you know

If your cute little aftermarket-modified Cobalt SS (complete with its from-the-factory supercharger) is emitting copious quantities of sparks from its coffee-can “muffler”, there is something seriously wrong.
Like in the “about to be impressive” kind of [...]

keep an eye on it

The bow of this thing could not have been

Why is it that Ron Paul stickers are almost invariably found on the crappiest of [...]

Yes, yes I am, [...]

that-a-way

I know the weather in the midwest has been unseasonably wintery recently, but get this: I purchased something from Amazon that was shipped from Las Vegas to their house in Washington state… except that the package in question somehow [...]

talk about a mental image

Seen last Friday at work: a SMART car… with a U-Haul hitch.
*blink*
… the hell? (Yes, I know, it is probably for a hitch-mounted bicycle rack, but [...]

different species

I wonder if this is an adequate explanation of why “liberals” / “progressives” / anti-rights-advocates-in-general never seem to understand plain language when pro-rights activists are trying to explain the importance of individual freedoms to [...]

all in a cute little row

What is up with birds and crossing roads? On the way home, day before yesterday, somewhere around 15 10-15 pound turkeys crossed my road. Traffic had to stop and wait, for quite some time, simply because the birds in [...]

AT&T to Verizon: There’s a lawsuit for [...]

Does anyone else occasionally get confused by the fact that phone number pads and computer number pads are oriented differently? Why is that, [...]

make ready the probe

If/when Better Half and I eventually get a garden, something tells me you will be able to see a set of these traipsing around its grounds…
I cannot help but to giggle uncontrollably every time I [...]

dudes for boobs

Better Half and I just got back from doing our little part to try and save the breasts of the world, and let me tell you – pushing someone in a wheelchair over three miles and up and down [...]

Bumper sticker seen today:

Recycle yourself. Become an organ and tissue donor.

I wonder how many “greenies” actually [...]

quote of the day

As written by Tam in a comment here:

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

If the gun is being carried in the open, at least as much attention should be paid to the holster as [...]

do not screw with nerds

F$U must be having a horrible year, if even my alma mater can beat them… for the second year in a row, at that:

Josh Nesbitt’s superb performance for Georgia Tech probably put a little more pressure [...]

the spaniards said it was uninhabitable

Ahh, Florida… the state where I can carry an automatic knife without a care in the world, and where I can carry a concealed firearm with the proper permit, but also where I can be arrested and charged with [...]

whip it out

I think it is safe to say that Robb Allen has won the internets for today:

Personally, I am rather surprised that no one has posted a comment accusing him of being racist…

with great amounts of cake
