Nostalgia Nirvana: Underwear Will Never Be the Same

Underoos. What? If you didn’t have a pair of Underoos, you friend, were undoubtedly raised on some Appalachian trail, and not worth the sleepover invite. This was the epitome of celebrating your American freedom and your right to run around in your underwear with a robe tied around your neck while you jumped off the coffee table because you were Superman or Supergirl. No one could tell you different. Thanks to Geektyrant who’s unearthed this remarkably bad commercial for the vintage Star Wars Underoo collection, you can reminisce in style. Continue reading

This Week in Assholes

Well it has been another busy week for the world’s assholes. Don’t these people ever take a damn vacation? I guess not, so let’s get started.

It’s how we gain control over our environment and perhaps mitigate the impact of future disasters. It is tempting, after the trauma of rescue and recovery to turn away and step into the sun, step into the light. But we are more than our emotions we are also our intellect. Continue reading

The Daily Sausage – Mitt Romney is a Batman villain, Health Care Repeal XXXIII Edition, a Must Read from Judge Richard Posner, and a Chart about Abortion

Per GI, this article will no longer be referring to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie as either “Sandwiches” or “Governor Sandwiches”, as sandwiches are delicious and nutritious, and Chris Christie is neither of those things. Henceforth, Governor Christie will be referred to as Governor Chris “Hamburgler” Christie, or just “Governor Hamburgler.” Thank you, and welcome to the Daily Sausage. Continue reading
