While riding to work today I passed one of those forlorn abandoned automobiles that has been left on the shoulder of the highway wearing nothing but a fluorescent orange DOT tow sticker and an old t-shirt wedged in the window. Continue reading

Last week in Utah, the family starring in TLC’s “Sister Wives” program filed a challenge to that state’s criminal law against bigamy.
The Mormon Church famously renounced polygamy in 1890 in exchange for Utah’s statehood. Ever since then, polygamists have tiptoed around the laws with what Kody Brown, the husband on “Sister Wives” calls their “spiritual marriage.” Continue reading
Here’s a nifty video of MotoGP star Casey Stoner taking a corner at 1000 frames per second.
Ahhh, Texas. Just when you think Florida and Arizona are the last bastions of deep fried insanity, along comes Texas with its own can of hobo beans.
In a story that will make you weep for humanity, officials in Dallas last week sat back and watched as thousands of desperate applicants found themselves in a human stampede to get Section 8 housing vouchers on the waiting list for Section 8 housing vouchers. More than 21,000 people applied for 5,000 vouchers. The DMN story shows how most of the people who showed up are workers with low-paying, minimum wage jobs or are older, handicapped and unable to support themselves. Continue reading
It’s not easy to buy a case of Westvleteren 12, the world’s most prized beer (and according to many experts, the world’s best-tasting). It costs only 28 Euros but it doesn’t matter how much money you have. You could have your own oil-rich principality in Middle East or a few million shares of Google stock and the brewers of Westvleteren wouldn’t ship any to you.
The brewers of Westvleteren are actually a group of Trappist monks from the St. Sixtus Abbey in Westvleteren, Belgium. And they don’t give a shit how bad you want their beer.
This is may be the greatest economic breakthrough of our time: researchers at the University of Helsinki have published a paper called “The Male Organ and Economic Growth: Does Size Matter?” Basically they successfully found a correlation between GDP and average penis size.
So you probably think the paper will find that men in wealthier countries have bigger dongs. But you’re wrong! You can have a thriving economy or large trouser snakes, but not both.
The size of male organ is found to have an inverse U-shaped relationship with the level of GDP in 1985. It can alone explain over 15% of the variation in GDP. The GDP maximizing size is around 13.5 centimetres, and a collapse in economic development is identified as the size of male organ exceeds 16 centimetres.
The absolute worst is the countries at the small penis AND weak economy end of the U-curve. Those countries get no respect in the gym locker room!
Friends. Who needs ’em? Well it turns out that we all need ’em. Without friends, who will bail us out of jail, run to CVS for the Morning After pill or send us those dirty text messages?
And you know who really needs friends? Craigslist People! In the Gathering of the Juggalos on Poppers-esque subterranean hellscape that is Craigslist, a “friend” is someone who is game for whatever random quasi-illegal fetish you’re into. It’s a beautiful thing, really.
Michele Bachmann, America’s Greatest President Ever, became the first Republican candidate to sign “The Marriage Vow,” some sort of insane blood-oath sponsored by a group of Iowa corn farming death cultists called FAMiLY Leader.
It seems that they stand for more than just nonsensical capitalization.
Many of the 14 points of the the Marriage Vow are typical inane hillbilly crap about not cheatin’ on yer wife and keepin them queers from marryin’. But a few of them are spectacularly batshit. Continue reading
Apparently the data from states where gay marriage is already recognized shows that, when it comes to who’s actually tying the knot, the lesbians are jumping on board at a much higher rate than gay men.
In Connecticut, for example, 3,252 lesbian couples have wed since 2008, when same-sex marriage was legalized, compared with just 2,053 gay guys…
Marital data obtained by The Post show a stark, 3-to-2 ratio of lesbian marriages, compared to all- male unions.
I wonder if in Real rural America we’re on the verge of seeing shotgun gay weddings.
Do you ever wonder why the rest of the world has to be such a bunch of hatin-ass bitches?
