Pull!

Was that meteor exploding over the Urals just the supreme wonderful most almighty President of Everything shooting skeet?  (answer: no, he's on vacation - in Florida this time)

Really? It must really irk the high ego people when something of note happens and they're in no way involved. 

Fresh Ho Fun

I made these last night... Much easier than I expected. These are the broad, soft noodles my local Thai restaurant uses in "Bangkok Noodles. " I ended up getting the rice flour and tapioca flour from Amazon.

Mmmm, noodles.

Happy Valentines Day

"I admire your sunglasses." 

"No, no, it is your sunglasses that are awesome."

Dog Facelift Ends in Tragedy

This is what I was expecting when I clicked on the Drudge headline: Chinese man sues after dog facelift ends in tragedy.

Right? I mean what's the worst thing that could happen to your dog? It could end up looking like Jane Fonda. Then I find out the dog died and I felt bad for the dog. Not the guy. Any guy who orders cosmetic surgery for his dog deserves to be punished. You want a younger looking dog? Give him a hot pink mohawk, like the rest of us.

Bill Gates Goes Cutting Edge

He was so thrilled with his new iPad, but then he dropped his wallet on it.

OK, It's Art

Up until a half hour ago you couldn't get me to acknowledge taxidermy as an art form. (and this from a guy who labels almost every encounter with bacon artistic)

Sadly, some guys have both "other" hands:

The Asteroids are Coming

 
Sure, it's probably global warming, possibly complicated by the fact that there are too many meat eaters on the planet's surface. (with guns!)

So, ignore the news. Relax. Lada!

The Last Bathroom You'll Ever Need

On the road from Yosemite to San Fran (they love it when you call it "San Fran") there is a little store that should be named "Hey This Place Looks Like it Might Have a Bathroom." We stopped there years ago, and I remember the smell to this day. It took away the will to live. If you're ever driving to or from Yosemite, well don't. Yosemite is great but it's not worth risking an encounter with this bathroom. In fact, best to avoid California altogether. There's 56 other perfectly good states.

There is No Socialism at the Top

Foolish, foolish French:

President François Hollande's 47-year old partner was slammed for eschewing her Left-wing principles in favour of unabashed champagne Socialism despite the threat of "thousands of job losses in the coming weeks" in companies ranging from Renault to Air France.

VSD, the weekly magazine, trained its ire on the 47-year-old divorcee's decision to attend the haute couture shows of Paris fashion week.

It described photos of the first lady beaming alongside France's richest man Bernard Arnault at the Dior catwalk show as a "political fault".

"While thousands of French are fighting to avoid redundancy … (she) attended the fashion shows," it wrote...

There never is, and there never was, socialism at the top. The leaders aren't socialists because socialism will lead to prosperity for the people. They're socialists because it leads to their prosperity.

For the king, it's good to be king.
