Thief robs girl then asks her out

Idiot.  (Hat tip: Ferd)

Doesn’t he know, you ask her out first, then you rob her later on (or if she says no, then you rob her)! ;)

Proving once again, that most street criminals are stupid.

 

Three tabloidy stories

I just found these amusing / interesting (hat tip: Raw Sawhill):

“Zombie” Ants Found With New Mind-Control Fungi

So zombies exist…  It’s a good thing this ‘shroom is far from North America, or stupid teens might be tempted to try eating it.

Woman with enormous breast implants says they saved her life

I remember this woman from the stories about the time her first set of implants almost killed her.  Now her second pair almost saves her life.  Blech.  I hate implants.

Man suffers heart attack at Heart Attack Grill

Fancy that, eh?

 

The Swedes are at it again…

Another story from Sweden:

In the vein of this parody, the following true story:

Swedish street signs axed over ‘perky’ breasts.

Incredible…

 

Beyond parody

The U.S. military is now having soldiers don fake breasts and and bellies so they can better understand what it’s like to exercise while pregnant.  (Hat Tip: GLP)

No word yet on whether female exercise instructors will soon have to don fake penises and scrota to better understand what it’s like to exercise while male.

Two from Sweden

From the socialist workers’ paradise of tasteful modern furniture, Volvos, SAABs, ABBA, Ace of Base, and the Cardigans, where feminist girlfriends are said to require their boyfriends to sit down to piss, two stories, courtesy of Mark Richardson:

Swedish feminists are demanding that men sit with their legs crossed while on public transport.

And the Swedish Prime Minister is considering raising the retirement age to 75.

 

Man shoots nail into brain without noticing

Reports the BBC.

I wonder: if it takes an ordinary average guy who shoots a nail into his brain, a day to notice, how long would it take a politician?

 

Former Alabama Republican gubernatorial candidate makes future neo-cons with lesbian Kiwis

You can’t make this shit up.  (Hat tip: Ray Sawhill)

This, after having campaigned against gay marriage, i.e. positioning himself, politically, as a social conservative…

Yet another neo-con hypocrite…

 

This is the worst thing ever in the entire history of all of it

I do not have, and there do not exist words for this. Are we sure the Ring was actually destroyed? This is a three-shot video, and I don’t mean it was filmed in three shots. Every half minute or so I had to stop the video and stagger around my house like Young Frankenstein in a casting call for Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.

Spot the Evangelicals

Haley’s Halo:

Aunt Haley:

Will S.,
If you say “homo” or “queer” one more time in this thread in reference to homosexual men, I’m sticking you in moderation.

Will. S:

AH: I see.

Interesting.

Kathy:

Curiouser and curiouser… shakes head.

Kathy:

“But what the hell do homos know about what is truly sexy”

How else should Will put this, then?

This? But what the hell do homosexuals know about what is truly sexy?

Shakes head once again.

Will S:

Apparently that would have been more acceptable. Don’t know why the abbreviation is problematic, or why we Christians should care… But, her casa, her rules…

Anna:

How about “people with same-sex attraction”? It can be shortened to SSA.

Matthew:

Sodomites?

Jennifer:

“If you say “homo” or “queer” one more time in this thread in reference to homosexual men, I’m sticking you in moderation”

Yipes.

I understand the queer thing, but not the abbreviation (not to criticize Haley) or why it infuriates people. It’s one thing to retain politeness on a public blog like this, but when I was discussing homosexual people with others on a movie blog, some of which were Christians, and I got tired of spelling out the word homosexual, I finally used the abbreviation once. And whoa: the place exploded. The debate lasted an hour. I went to my best friend, a liberal woman with gay friends, afterward and told her about it. She was nonplussed about the fuss, and her comments were hilarious. You’d have to email me, though, if you wanted to know what they were :P

Why again are Christians so damn afraid of offending the feelings of fudge-packers again? Evangelicals, giving into the trends, once again. Looks like it’s up to Papists, Reformed, and High-Church Prots to keep the faith.
