'Smile Time'
Natter 60: Gone In 60 Seconds
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I mean, it's just -- sometimes circumstances/timing/movie releases collude to make with the funny.
In a world where some inappropriate things are just. damn. funny...
It's not nice (I know, off-limits), but the joke was inevitable (and, okay, I'm crass but I think it's dang funny): [link]
Bwah!
Er, I mean, that's completely inappropriate. And wrong. Very very wrong.
(Bwah.)

With a ::snicker:: on the side.
The elevator told me this morning that almost 40% of people with 401(k) plans that offer company stock as an investment option have more than 20% of their savings in company shares. Have people learned nothing from Enron?
I feel like this is almost flogging a dead horse, but:
1)The horse isn't dead yet.
2)The funny (and in this case, disturbing) just keeps coming.
Palin's Church May Have Shaped Controversial Worldview
Speaking before the Pentecostal church, Palin painted the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord.
"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God," she exhorted the congregants. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."
Religion, however, was not strictly a thread in Palin's foreign policy. It was part of her energy proposals as well. Just prior to discussing Iraq, Alaska's governor asked the audience to pray for another matter -- a $30 billion national gas pipeline project that she wanted built in the state. "I think God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that," she said.
Footnotes, Endnotes, and Parentheticals That Cost Me Marks on My Thesis.
That's brilliant. I was going to copy one to highlight, and I couldn't pick!
And now for something completely different: On the high velocity rotation of interred organic remains
Let us all doff our hats in astonished disbelief at the brazen arrogance of the people who have created the Carl Sagan Institute in Brazil.
That is, the Carl Sagan Institute…of UFOlogy. That's right, a cranky gang of saucernuts have appropriated the name and likeness of Carl Sagan without authorization to flog their belief that Jesus is a flying saucer pilot. They claim that Sagan was secretly a believer in visitations by Little Green Men, who simply publicly lied, and now they want to use his dead body to beg for donations.
Okaaaaayyy.....
Extraordinary idiocy requires extraordinary making-fun-of....
