716 - Cartoons

This was a hard call to make. Compete with Bilbo on cartoon Saturday or n.... sure, why not.

My son-in-law sent me the first one. So I had to find more to go with it.













More cartoons

715 - FAIL!

Sad and funny at the same time. A balloon launch. Every balloon is off to help a sick kid. Well I don't care how sick the kid is, I'm not climbing up there.

BALLOONS


OWWWWW Well at least he tried. I mean trying is important right? Well maybe there's somethings you shouldn't try. And remember it's not the fall, it's the sudden stop that gets you.

WHAM!


I ran across this again. I think I posted it before. But it's still funny so I'll post it again. As I'm typing I think it was infectious laughter I talked about. But like I probably said before you can't help but laugh with these guys.

SHE'S GOIN' DOWN



And then a bonus. Remember the video of the train going through the market in Thailand? Well Breck Carter found more videos. The second one is taken from the train.

714 - More more pictures

OK, here's the rest of the pictures. I did what I thought were the best one's on the first two posts. These are still good but these are the one's that were left. Although I do think the last one here may strike a chord with a certain blogger.

712 - Viral marketing

Viral marketing - it works. Look what I'm going to do. Tell you all about this site that I think everybody that comes here will think is funny. Amanda sent me an email with some funny posters. Hey look, there's a web site on the pictures! Marketing job complete! Another person nabbed. Gotcha! More at the end. First a few pictures.











This is just a sample. And Amanda, what you found was just a sample also. The site Despair.com has videos. I watched three of them. That's all I could stand. Even though I knew the guy in the video is joking, it was to depressing to watch anymore. It wasn't funny any more, it was true. I had been there and done that. So go there and take a chance on your sanity.

Oh and the second picture. Fiona would have to call it Eejitcy.

I'll post some more pictures tomorrow. Just for fun.

711 - Your looks



Over 1000 faces. I think all caucasian faces but I wouldn't swear to that. But where's all the information that explains the pictures? I thought you'd never ask! You can find the whole NewScientist article here. Did I mention the continuing education credits for the time you're going to put in reading it?

710 - Movie review

Well boring today, but it's late and I just got done watching a good movie so I'll use it for an excuse for a post. The movie is called "Untraceable". It's a serial killer/ computer geek movie. It's like watching a long episode of CSI/ Law and Order/ etc. But it's put together well. Even the scenes in the beginning of the movie that don't seem to mean much, turn out to be lead in's to later scenes in the movie. The movie has a nice flow and doesn't slow down so the hour and forty minutes goes pretty quick. But it does get a little gory.

709 - Email jokes

THE BEAR

An atheist was walking through the woods. "What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!", he said to himself.

As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charging towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him.

He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.

At that instant the Atheist cried out, "Oh my God!"

Time Stopped.

The bear froze.

The forest was silent.

As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky. "You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"

The atheist looked directly into the light and said, "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian?"

"Very Well," said the voice.

The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head & spoke: "Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen."


EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 40

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.

With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.

Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato bags.

Then try 50-lb potato bags and=then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute.

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.


BLOND JOKE

A young ventriloquist is touring the clubs, and one night he's doing a show in a small town in (fill in your state's name).

With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his usual dumb blond jokes when a blond woman in the 4th row stands on her chair and starts shouting:

"I've heard enough of your stupid blond jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does the color of a person's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It's guys like you who keep women like me from being respected at work, and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as a person.

Because you and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes,
but women in general...and all in the name of humor!"

The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, and the blond yells,

"You stay out of this mister! I'm talking to that little shit on your lap"

708 - Guns

You know at the airport. (in the old days) When they made you show that your electronic device worked? Make it do something. Show me it works? Here's what they were looking for.

CELL PHONE


You hear stories about the cops that shot a guy and all he had was a knife? Here's why.

KNIFE


And then there's the bonus gun stuff. I'm not sure what the first rifle is. It's either a .577 Trex or .700 Nitro Express. What ever it is it's got around 200lbs of kick. Watch some guys get knocked on their butt.

RIFLE


And then just when you think it's safe to go outside you find out they make this.

707 - Trains

When I was looking at Amanda's blog and saw the picture with the train tracks I remembered a video I had seen awhile back. It's mandatory you watch it because it took forever to find this again. Go look at Amanda's picture first.

TRAIN MARKET


The next two go together. The first one is the set up so you can understand what happened in the second one.

TRAIN POTTY
WHOOPS!


Now some exciting train stuff.

705 - St. Louis stuff

Jeff Foxworthy has been to St. Louis many times. I don't know if he actually said these things but I'm sure he's got a special routine for every city he visits. Here's what he(?) said and (my comments).

-------------------------------------------------------------

What Jeff Foxworthy has to say about St. Louis -

If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you might live in St. Louis. (Been there done that. And in the summer if you walk around with a tape measure on your belt, people automatically assume you work there.)

If someone mentions "The Landing" and it has nothing to do with the space shuttle, you might live in St. Louis. (Laclede's Landing is an area on the river front)

If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might live in St. Louis. (Don't do it but see it all the time.)

If you've seen a tornado touchdown and ONLY thought "Darn it, I just waxed the car," you might live in St. Louis. (Lot's of tornado warnings here. Never seen one, but I keep trying.)

If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in St. Louis. (Know someone - me "Who was that?" other person "Oh it was a wrong number")

If you measure distance in hours (minutes) instead of miles, you might live in St. Louis. (yep, I could get from my house to my desk, downtown, in 25 minutes)

If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day and back again, you might live in St. Louis. (yep)

If you drive 75 miles through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard for some White Castles, you might live in St. Louis. (and???)

If you carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you might live in St. Louis. (no and no)

If you take I-Farty-Far to Six Flags, you might live in St. Louis. (That's West County talk. I live in South County)(more St. Louis talk, sevendy, chipplwa, zink and warsh) ( you warsh your dishes in the zink)

If someone says concrete and you think of Ted Drewes instead of pavement, you might live in St. Louis. (and???)

If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you might live in St. Louis. (yep)

If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody is passing you, you might live in St. Louis. (in rush hour - slow lane - 25, fast lane - get the hell outa' the way)

If you've ever skipped school, work, or even a court-date because you had tickets to an afternoon Cards, Blues or Rams game, you might live in St. Louis. (no comment)

If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you might live in St. Louis. (depends on what part of the area you're in)

If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction, you might live in St. Louis. (spring and fall are short lived around here. Or they come and go.)

If you find 10 degrees a little 'chilly', you might live in St. Louis. (Yeah but it doesn't stick around long.)

If you can say the words "Cahokia Mounds" and not think of a candy bar or boobies, you might live in St. Louis. (One of these days I'm going to go there. And I've never thought about it like that. But now that you mention it.....)

704 - Misc. stuff

Here's an email joke with an added comment from me.

Mysterious Ways of the Lord -

I never thought I would enjoy watching the news about an airplane crash. But the Lord works in mysterious ways, and with a sense of humor!

First: No one died!
Second: The passengers standing on the wing appeared to be walking on water!
Third: It removed Obama from the headlines for 24 hours!
Fourth: No one in the government could take credit for the miracle!
Fifth: It wasn't George Bush's fault!

(about the Fifth, since no terrorists were involved and no one died we knew Bush was not involved with it)




CALVIN




AND ..............
For guys, life really boils down to 2 questions...

1. Should I get a dog.....?




2. Should I have children?

703- Stewart

Not having cable I don't see John Stewart very often. But I do get to see some of the better bits he does because people post them. Here's one on O'Reilly. It's typical to see a loud mouth contradict himself and never know or care. This video is a little over 5 minutes.

702 - Gettin' bad

I'm starting to run low on video's AND jokes. I just did a search of my blog to make sure I hadn't posted these already. Man oh man, what's going wrong with this crazy world?!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil, plus the condition of the economy 'The Light at the End of the Tunnel' has been turned off.



I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes (he is 91). We decided to grab a bite at the food court. I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, and blue. My dad kept staring at him. The teenager would look and find him staring every time.

When the teenager had had enough, he sarcastically asked, 'What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?'

Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response, knowing he would have a good one, and in classic style he did not bat an eye in his response.

'Got drunk once, and had sex with a peacock. Just wondering if you were my son.'



A married couple went to the hospital to have their baby delivered. Upon their arrival, the doctor said that the hospital was testing an amazing new high-tech machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labor pain to the baby's father. He asked if they were interested, Both said they were very much in favor of it.

The doctor set the pain transfer to 10 percent for starters, explaining that even 10 percent was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced before. But as the labor progressed, the husband felt fine and asked the doctor to go ahead and kick it up a notch. The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20 percent pain transfer.

The husband was still feeling fine. The doctor then checked the husband's blood pressure and was amazed at how well he was doing.

At this point they decided to try for 50 percent. The husband continued to feel quite well. Since the pain transfer was obviously helping the wife considerably, the husband encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him. The wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain, and the husband had experienced none. She and her husband were ecstatic.

When they got home they found the UPS man dead on the porch.

This is a commercial but it's a cool one. Hey! A second cool video! Who could have guessed? I could do this if I wanted to. I just don't want to right now. Besides, I'm still collecting enough computers to do it.

ZOOM

(I logged back in to put this note here. Amanda, Aaron should not be sitting in your lap while you watch this video.)
I assume you think this is another cool video. Some people get in trouble for making ASSUMPTIONS. Like you will.

There's nothing like a good hard core religious upbringing to keep a kid on the straight and narrow. Especially a generally closed society religion. One that has strict rules and everybody ........ enough of that BS. Watch the video.

696 - Health information

I got an email with some Q&A on health. It came from the internet so it must be true.

**************************************

Q.I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.


Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.


Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!


Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.


Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain... Good!


Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! .... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?


Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.


Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!


Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.


Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!


Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

And remember:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO, What a Ride!

AND.....

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION

Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you

695 - Email jokes

FATHER OF ONE OF MY KIDS

A guy goes to the supermarket and notices an attractive woman waving at him. She says hello.

He's rather taken aback because he can't place where he knows her from. So he says, "Do you know me?" To which she replies, "I think you're the father of one of my kids." Now his mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife and says, "Are you the stripper from the bachelor party that I made love to on the pool table with all my buddies watching while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery?"

She looks into his eyes and says calmly, "No, I'm your son's teacher."

OK OK ( that's four times, OK?)

Here's a few little diddies I've run across from time to time. I've tried to pick the best videos from various sites. Some have duplicates but some are better. The word better is subjective and idiosyncratic.

Picture yourself in Japan. Your going to travel to an English speaking country. What to do? Why, get some videos to learn some English phrases. Here ya' go! You get four points for making it through all of them.

Video 2

691 - Fiona's meme

I was waiting for most people to respond to Fiona's meme so I could steal some ideas on what to talk about. It seems to have worked. I've got some comparisons that can tie us all together, a little bit.

The rules: I have to tell you ten honest things about myself in writing and then tag ten people to pass it on.

1. Chocolate, but not to much. I mentioned this in a comment on Fiona's blog. Hersey's Kisses in the fridge. Always ready (and cold) for a chocolate hit.

2. I think I can count on just over one hand the number of places I've lived. And if you could go to the top of the AT&T building in downtown St. Louis you could see them all (not counting college).

3. John, riding on the back of a truck isn't that much fun. Back in 'the day' St. Louis had two free newspapers delivered on Wednesday and Thursday. For a couple of years a friend and myself would get picked up by the carrier at 1AM, go to the newspaper plant; roll, deliver and throw 3000 papers from a platform on the back of a pickup truck, then get back home by 5AM for a little more sleep before school. The winters were the worst because your feet would freeze standing on that metal step for hours.

4. I can't stand spicy foods. Just being around spicy food makes my eyes water. Really.

5. I also wanted to be a vet. Then an architect. Wound up going to college to be a chemical engineer. Chemistry was easy for me. School was not. At the University of MO at Rolla it took most students five years to get out of there. It only took me a year and a half.

6. I still get together twice a year with the old high school football guys. And for the past few years I have been going to a once a month grade school group dinner.

7. I do habitat for humanity. And more than one Saturday of the build. Last year I made (guess here) 14 out of 17 build days.

8. I write letters to the editor like Bilbo. But it must be a lot easier to get published in the Midwest than on the East Coast. If I don't get published I feel I've failed. The local paper has a 60 day waiting period before they will publish you again so I pick my topics carefully. More than once I have written in only to regret that I was in my 60 day timeout period.

And just FYI what you see in the paper isn't necessarily what the person wrote. Letters to the editor get edited - a lot. I used the phrase 'bleeding wallet conservative' one time. They changed it to 'bleeding heart conservative'. Needless to say it changed the whole tone of the letter.

9. I had a new (demo) '68 Dodge Charger 383 4 barrel. That thing would get up and go. (9 mpg if I was lucky)

10. Also like Bilbo I don't particularly like doing these silly meme's. So as a pay back I've hacked into Fiona's computer cam. I'll start posting video's tomorrow. Honest! Trust me. Would I lie to you? Girl, you should get dressed before using the computer. You never know who's watching.

690 - Young girl / old woman



Do you remember the optical illusion of the young girl / old woman? An earlier version is to the left. The newer one that I remember is below to the right.







I had to look at the pictures for a few seconds to see them again. It's been awhile. Well there's a cool new video version of this on the net. Well if it's not cool it sure is funny.
(If you've never seen these pictures before, read below)

VIDEO WOMEN



For the uninitiated this will make the video understandable, maybe - The pictures were usually handed out in a class and the teacher would ask everyone if they got the picture of the young woman or the old woman. The illusion is that everyone has the same picture. Depending on what you're focusing on in the picture will determine what you see. Look at the picture on the left because it's a little easier to see the two women. Focus on the horizontal line above the collar. For the young woman it's a necklace and she is facing away. For the old woman it's her mouth and she is facing towards the left.

Above the left end of that line is the young womans chin and the old womans nose. Further up is the young womans ear and the old womans eye.

Well are you?

I'm getting old. I had to think about this one.


Thought of Indexed when I saw this.


You really do.


I'm not to #3 yet.


Would a spell checker help a dyslexic?


Nuff said.


More math.


Here's the site if you want to look at all of them.
