Dum----dum-dum-dum
Hello everyone!
You know, generally I don't like to make fun of the mentally challenged, but...well let's just say that this video speaks for itself:
Ladies and Gentlemen, one of the future leaders of "U.S. Americans". This should be required viewing for anyone who lobbies on behalf of the need for education funding in this country.
Reporting from South Africa and The Iraq, everywhere, like, such as, and...
I just returned from a trip to my local Market of Chaos. The man standing in front of me in the check-stand line was wearing a The Doors T-shirt. This itself wasn't very strange except for the fact that the man was a really old, bald, white-haired guy. He looked like Captain Stubing meets Captain Picard and with a mustache. Actually, he looked a lot like my district's Rep. Peter DeFazio with whiter hair.
On the way out of the store, I saw a large Lincoln (the car, not the president) with a Phish sticker. The man driving the car had all of his hair, but his was also white, and he sported a matching white beard. He looked a lot like Michael McDonald meets Kenny Rogers.
Then I got home and saw my numerous The Doors and Phish CDs in my collection.
As you can probably tell, I've been watching lots of online videos these days. Not those kind of online videos, pervert! Anyway, I just had to share the good ones with you, the viewer. For example, take a look at this little gem which originally aired 05/19/07:
The next 14 months or so are sure going to be quite interesting.
Here's a clip that illustrates why Jon Stewart is one of my heroes. Take a looksee before the fascists at Comedy Central threaten YouTube with a lawsuit and it gets removed:
Yeah, yeah, I haven't posted anything in over a month. Well, excuuuse me for actually getting out of the house and doing things this summer. Besides, "I'm not getting paid for this."
That joke never gets old. Too bad only two or three people get it. Good thing I only have two or three readers.
Anyway, there won't be much to this posting, either. But I did want to share some pictures I took using my camera phone.
These two photos were taken within a week of each other in the same parking lot:
No, there wasn't a Subaru car club meeting going on at the time--it's just that there are Subarus everywhere in this town! Mine is the silver one.
In addition to the ordinary Subarus, there are also, well, I have no idea what to call this:
Here's a log cabin trailer:
It turns out that it belongs to some friends of the parents of someone I work with. Hey kids, never take photos while driving! It's dangerous! Do as I say, not as I do.
And speaking of work, these snack crackers were left behind by a church group that had a picnic at our park:
"Double Cross Snack Crackers"!? Does that make them twice as Christian as "Single Cross Snack Crackers"? Or does it just mean that they're for backstabbers?
I went to a transfer student orientation at the University of Oregon a few weeks ago. While I was there, I found this scrawled on one of the bathroom stall walls:
For the benefit of the visually impaired, it says "Sea Bass was here".
I will find this "Sea Bass". And I will be his best friend.
At first glance, aside from it needing to be refilled, this looks an ordinary toilet seat cover dispenser. But look closer at the label:
Yes, "Rest Assured" has become "Turd Assured". You know, now that I think about it, it's nice to have some assurance about what's to come when I visit a bathroom. That way I can be prepared. Nobody likes surprises.
Anyway, that's it for the somewhat interesting photos I've taken with my cellphone camera. Hope you enjoyed viewing them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
On a more serious note, before I go, I'll leave you with a couple of videos. The first one is a snippet of an interview current Vice President Dick Cheney gave in 1994:
This next one claims to be the most popular YouTube video ever. I don't know whether that's true or not, but it's worth a look nevertheless:
