Lucky!
Look at the picture above and you can see where this guy broke through the guardrail, right side where the people are standing on the road (pointing). The pick-up was traveling from right to left when it crashed through the guardrail. It flipped end-over-end, across the culvert outlet, and landed right side up on the left side of the culvert, facing the opposite direction from which he was travelilng.

Now look at the 2nd picture below...

Lucky !
If this guy didn't believe in God before, do you suppose he believes now?

Have you ever wondered what idiots look like?

...and then sometimes, we need Darwinism to step in.

Parkinson's or Alzheimer's


2 old men

An old man was asked, "At your ripe age, what would you prefer to get - Parkinson's or Alzheimer's?"

The wise one answered, "Definitely Parkinson's. Better to spill half an ounce of booze than to forget where you keep the bottle!!"

21 Tips on Keeping Your Shit Together During Depression

1) Know that you’re not alone. Know that we are a silent legion, who, every day face the solipsism and judgement of Happy People Who Think We Just Aren’t Trying. There are people who are depressed, people who have been depressed, and people who just haven’t been hit with it yet.
2) Understand that the Happy People are usually acting out of some genuine (albeit misguided) concern for you, that it’s coming from a good place, even if the advice feels like you’re being blamed for your disease. Telling you these things makes them feel better, even if it makes you feel like shit. (If they insist on keeping it up, see #12.)
3) Enlist the help of a professional. See your doctor. You need to talk about the ugly shit, and there are people paid to listen and help you find your way to the light at the end of the tunnel. 
4) Understand that antidepressants will only do so much. They’re useful, they’ll level you out and give you the time you need to figure out your own path to getting well. They can be helpful. There are lots to choose from. They may not be for you, and even if they are, they take some time to kick in. Conversely, they may not be for you. Work with your doctor.
5) Pick up a paintbrush, a pencil, an activity you got joy from in the past and re-explore that. Or, sign up for the thing you always wanted to try. There is a long history and link between depression and creativity. It’s a bright light of this condition, so utilize it to your best advantage.
6) Eat nutritionally sound, regular small meals. If you’re having trouble eating, try to focus on what you’d like to eat. I went through a whole six week episode of tomatoes and cream cheese on a bagel twice a day. Not great, but it was something – helpful context, I’m a recovered anorexic. Conversely, if all you want to do is scarf down crap, try to off-ramp it by downing a V-8 and doing #9 for 15 minutes, and see how you feel. Chucking your blood sugar all over hell’s half acre is going to make you feel worse.
7) While you’re doing #3, get some bloodwork done. If you’re low on iron or vitamin D, or if your hormone levels are doing the Macarena… these can all contribute to zapping your energy or switching your mood to Bleak As Hell.
8) If you’re in bed and the “insomnia hamsters”, as I like to call them, are on the wheel of your head, watch Nightly Business News on PBS. This has the effect of Nyquil. Swap out your coffee for herbal tea. If you just cannot sleep, try the next tip….
9) Learn how to meditate. Start by focusing on your breathing. Not sleep, not thoughts. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Meditation is focusing on being present in your body, not careening around in your brain. It may not be as good as sleep but it will give you some rest and recharge you.
10) Face a window as often as you can – at work, at home. Look out into the world. Watch. Observe. Try to find something you find pretty or interesting to focus on. And, handily remember that one in five of those people out there feel the way you do.
11) Cry. Better out than in. Sometimes it’s not convenient or career-enhancing to cry, so find a private place as best you can and let the tears go. Carry Kleenex and face wipes and extra concealer if you wear makeup. You can always claim allergies.
12) Any “friend” who resolutely believes that your depression is because you’re lazy, because you’re not trying hard enough, who blames you for not bootstrapping out of it- that friend needs to be cut off. Polite (#2) is one thing, but there is a limit. You don’t have to explain, you can just not respond. You feel badly enough, you don’t need their “assistance”.
13) Limit your time with people who drain you. You know who they are. Often you don’t have a choice- but you can put the meter on. And, subsequently, be aware of what you’re asking of those close to you.
14) Everyone has shit they’ve got to deal with. What you have been saddled with is your shit. Recognize, just as you’re not alone, you’re also not unique. The grass may look greener, you may be jealous or envious of others who don’t have to deal with depression, but you likely do not know everything that’s going on with them. 
15) Let go or be dragged. This is an old Buddhist saying. It’s a very useful way to frame aspects of depression. Betrayal, anger, fear… letting go is a process – often a painful and difficult process - but it’s ultimately going to show you the path out of this terrible place. Repeating the mantra can help when you’re feeling gripped by these feelings.
16) Wear clothes that make you feel confident. It takes as much time to put on nice clothes as it does to put on sweatpants. You will want to wear the sweatpants. Fight the urge. The whole “look good/feel better” campaign isn’t limited to cancer and chemotherapy. Or women.
17) Avoid fictional drama and tragedy like the plague. No Grey’s Anatomy, no to The Notebook, or anything that won a Pulitzer prize. You’ve got enough going on In Real Life. Comedy only. Or trashy stuff. Old episodes of WonderWoman? I’ve got the box set. Mindless drivel, like the latest CGI blockbuster. Or clever, funny books. David Sedaris. Jenny Lawson. Fiction exists to elicit emotion, and the emotion you need to express most right now is laughter.
18) Simple exercise, if you can. It can be something as simple as taking the stairs up a flight, or walking around the block. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, it doesn’t have to involve climbing a mountain or running a marathon. Baby steps.
19) Depression will lie to you. Depression will try to tell you what others are thinking. That you are unloved and unworthy, that others think little of you or don’t care – or even wish you harm. You are not a psychic. Keep repeating that. “I am not a psychic”. Repeat. The only way to know what another person is thinking is to up and ask them.
20) If you are well and truly losing this battle, reach out to someone. I’ve been the random friendly-but-not-close person who has fielded the occasional outreach. I like to think I’m not judgemental and generally resourceful, and others have thought the same, so they called and asked. You know someone like me. And they will help you.
21) Forgive yourself. I’m writing out all these tips, and I can’t always muster the strength to even stick my nose outside, or walk up the stairs, or eat my vegetables. Today, I got outside for ten minutes. I will try again tomorrow. And I will try again the day after that.

Jamie McDermott of T H E I R R E P R E S S I B L E S Speaks OUT on Google's Gay Censorship of Their Video for “Two Men in Love” in an Exclusive Interview with OUT.com

For Immediate Release

Jamie McDermott of T H E I R R E P R E S S I B L E S

Speaks OUT on Google's Gay Censorship of Their Video for “Two Men in Love” in an Exclusive Interview with OUT.com
London, UK – April 2, 2013


Artist, composer and gay icon Jamie McDermott remains at the forefront of the LGBT movement and current progression of human rights around the world by going on the record with OUT today about how his UK-based chamber pop ensemble The Irrepressibles recently experienced sexual discrimination from Google, the parent company of You Tube. He speaks exclusively with OUT regarding their recent experience with You Tube's “age restriction” policy that was placed on their video for the single “Two Men in Love” off of their new record Nude.


Read the interview here:
http://www.out.com/entertainment/popnography/2013/04/02/jame-mcdermott-two-men-love

"The whole focus of the video, the single “Two Men in Love,” and our latest album Nude, is to speak to young, gay people who are isolated and bullied for their differences. The likes of who chose to take their lives in the US and the likes who need to see happy gay couples who they can identify with. We need to fill young people with hope," comments McDermott.


McDermott explains, "The video contains nothing sexual! It's just kisses and love between two men and two women. It is truly discriminatory of YouTube to restrict it so it can't be viewed by anyone under 18 years old—especially when so many heterosexual music videos show dance moves simulating sex between a man and a women and often the type of kisses that do not get this restriction."

The Irrepressibles is the creative work of artist Jamie McDermott. His voice is one of beauty, defiance, emotion, masculinity and gay sexuality. His provocative Farinelli-meets-Elvis style is readily compared to David Bowie, Jeff Buckley and even Grace Jones. From the front cover of Boyz magazine to features in Attitude, Gay Times, Italian Vogue, Vogue L'uomo and Dazed & Confused, McDermott is now somewhat of a nouveau international gay music icon.

The Irrepressibles began in 2002 as an art performance project. They gained a reputation for their now legendary art-pop before being signed to a label. Their performance “spectacles” such as the Human Music Box, Mirror Mirror and Air were commissioned by prestigious venues such as the V&A Museum, Holland Festival and South-Bank Centre. With a mantra to “make something that portrays the real originality, drama and intensity of life,” The Irrepressibles first incarnation was described by McDermott as a “performance orchestra,” that he choreographed and led. Nude is their sophomore effort and released to audiences in North America on February 14.


"The Irrepressibles message of unabashed universal love continues to spread regardless,” concludes McDermott. “Ideally, given what is already happening on in the US government, a progressive organization like Google will choose to participate in spreading that message.”

Reveen dead at 77

Raveen dead at 77

Reveen the Impossibilist, a master hypnotist and illusionist, has died.
Born in Australia in 1935, Peter Reveen passed away Monday morning in Las Vegas. He died as a result of complications due to diabetes and dementia, according to the obituary posted on his website.
He was well-known throughout Atlantic Canada, presenting shows for decades in cities across the East Coast. Over his 50-year career he presented 6,000 live performances throughout Canada, the U.S., Australia and the United Kingdom.
His son Ty, who took over the role of Reveen in his stage show in 2011, lives in Salisbury, N.B. In an interview with the CBC program Mainstreet last fall, Ty remembered the first time he performed in his father’s shoes on a stage in Las Vegas.
“It was quite the rush, because I was in front of 200 professional magicians, some of the best magicians in the world, and there was a lot of pressure on me because I had to perform one of my father’s high-speed memory demonstrations,” he said.
“At the end it, my father [came on stage] and passed his tuxedo on to me. It was a very emotional day for me.”
People ask me all the time, ‘What’s it like being Reveen’s son?’ and I say well at least we went to sleep when we were told to,” said Ty.
The man they called Reveen was 77.

Math Puzzle

The problem is as follows:

The Bus has 7 Children, each with 7 backpacks, each with 7 cats, each of those with 7 little cats: How many legs? Bus driver does not count.


There are 7 girls in a bus

Each girl has 7 backpacks

In each backpack, there are 7 big cats

For every big cat, there are 7 little cats

Question: How many legs are there in the bus?

answers

Girl #1 has 7 back packs

1st Backpack has 7 big cats

Each big cat has 7 kittens

So makes that 1 big cat + 7 kittens = 8 cats per bag

7 cat's X 7 kittens in each bag. (7 bags total)

56 Cats per bag (8x7)

56 cats per bag X 7 bags= 392

EACH Girl has 392 cats

392 X 7 bags = 2744 cats

2744 x 4 legs = 10976 (cats)

10976 + 14 = 10990 (legs)

(2744 total number of cats in bus X 4 legs per cat = 10976 total cat legs)

Annette Funicello, Legendary Mouseketeer Dead at 70



Annette Funicello and Mickey Mouse
Annette and Mickey Mouse

Annette Funicello -- the undisputed queen of the "Mickey Mouse Club" -- has died, according to Disney's official fan club Twitter. She was 70.

Funicello was a triple threat -- Mouseketeer, pop singer and bigscreen star. She was huge in the 60's with movies like "Beach Party," Bikini Beach," and "Beach Blanket Bingo."

According to "Extra," Annette had been hospitalized in Bakersfield due to complications from multiple sclerosis and had been in a coma.

Funicello disclosed in 1992 that she suffered from multiple sclerosis. She lost the ability to walk in 2004, could no longer speak by 2009 and required round-the-clock care.

Annette was bigger than Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling combined. She was the fantasy -- largely because of her breasts -- of millions of teenage boys.

Frankie Avalon -- who starred with Funicello in a bunch of those 60's beach movies -- tells us, "She was a very courageous gal that fought and fought and fought ... I'm devastated. I loved this gal."

Women vs. Men

1. NAMES
 If Laurie, Linda, Elizabeth and Barbara go out for lunch, they will
 call each other Laurie, Linda, Elizabeth and Barbara. If Mark, Chris,
 Eric and Tom go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as
 Fat Boy, Godzilla, Peanut-Head and Scrappy.

 2. EATING OUT
 When the bill arrives, Mark, Chris, Eric and Tom will each throw in
 $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have
 anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.
 When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

 3. MONEY
 A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. A woman will pay $1 for a
 $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.

 4. BATHROOMS
 A man has five items in his bathroom: a toothbrush, shaving cream,
 razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from the Marriott. The average
 number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would
 not be able to identify most of these items.

 5. ARGUMENTS
 A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after
 that is the beginning of a new argument.

 6. CATS
 Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't
 looking, men kick cats.

 7. FUTURE
 A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man
 never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

 8. SUCCESS
 A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
 A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

 9. MARRIAGE
 A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man
 marries a woman expecting that she won't change and she does.

 10. DRESSING UP
 A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the
 garbage, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail. A man will
 dress up for weddings and funerals.

 11. NATURAL
 Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow
 deteriorate during the night.

 12. OFFSPRING
 Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about
 dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods,
 secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some
 short people living in the house.

 13. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
 Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two
 people remembering the same thing.

Margaret Thatcher, Britain's 'Iron Lady' Prime Minister, Dead at 87

Margaret Thatcher
Margaret Thatcher dead at 87
Margaret Thatcher, the first woman ever to serve as prime minister of Great Britain and the longest-serving British prime minister of the 20th century has died at age 87. "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning," Lord Timothy Bell said today. "A further statement will be made later."
Thatcher had significant health problems in her later years, suffering several small strokes and, according to her daughter, struggling with dementia.
In Dec. 2012, she was underwent an operation to remove a bladder growth, longtime adviser Tim Bell told The Associated Press.
But during her long career on the political stage, Thatcher was known as the Iron Lady. She led Great Britain as Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990, a champion of free-market policies and adversary of the Soviet Union.

Saskatchewan


Rider fan ferozen to the ground
 It's spring in Saskatchewan
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At five or ten below

Oh, how I love Saskatchewan
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of spring air
And your nose gets frozen shut

Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Saskatchewan
'Cause I'm frozen to the ground!!

2012 Tax code


The only thing that the Canadian government has not taxed yet is the male member. This is due to the fact that:

69% of the time it is hanging around unemployed,
10% of the time it is hard up,
20% of the time it is pissed off
1% of the time it is in the hole.
On top of that, it has two dependents and they are both nuts!


HOWEVER, effective January 1st, 2008, the male member will now be taxed according to size:

The brackets are as follows:

10" - 12" Luxury Tax $300.00
8" - 10" Pole Tax $250.00
5" - 8" Privilege Tax $150.00
3" - 5" Nuisance Tax $30.00

Males exceeding 12" must file capital gains.

Anyone under 3" is eligible for a tax refund.


PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR AN EXTENSION!

Einstein the Chauffeur


EinsteinWhen Albert Einstein was making the rounds of the speaker's circuit, he usually found himself eagerly longing to get back to his laboratory work. One night as they were driving to yet another rubber-chicken dinner, Einstein mentioned to his chauffeur (a man who somewhat resembled Einstein in looks & manner) that he was tired of speech making.

"I have an idea, boss," his chauffeur said. "I've heard you give this speech so many times. I'll bet I could give it for you." Einstein laughed loudly and said, "Why not? Let's do it!" When they arrive at the dinner, Einstein donned the chauffeur's cap and jacket and sat in the back of the room. The chauffeur gave a beautiful rendition of Einstein's speech and even answered a few questions expertly.

Then a supremely pompous professor asked an extremely esoteric question about anti-matter formation, digressing here and there to let everyone in the audience know that he was nobody's fool. Without missing a beat, the chauffeur fixed the professor with a steely stare and said, "Sir, the answer to that question is so simple that I will let my chauffeur, who is sitting in the back, answer it for me."

From the page:

Research into sexual diversity encompasses the study of sexual and gender minorities presently identified by many labels, including lesbian (L), gay (G), bisexual (B), transgendered (T), transvestite (TV), and two-spirited (TS). The previously derogatory queer (Q) has been adopted by many with pride as a short form way of encompassing this diverse range of minorities. However, many are opposed to identifying themselves with an historic label of abuse and others question the possibility or desirability of finding a single term adequate to suggest the diversity of these groups.

This site is a reference guide to what is available and its physical location. The materials themselves are housed at participating Saskatchewan libraries and archives .

Browse through lists of materials or search this site for topics or people.

To learn more about the history of LGBT communities in Saskatchewan please see our History page. To find out more about present day LGBT communities in Saskatchewan see the LGBT Saskatchewan references in the links page.

My favourite quote from the page:
"If homosexuality is a disease, lets all call in queer to work;
-Hello. Can't work today. Still queer."
--ROBIN TYLER, American comedian.

Baptist Bathroom

A very proper lady began planning a week's camping vacation for her and her Baptist Church group. She wrote to a campground for reservations. She wanted to make sure that the campground was fully equipped and modern, but couldn't bring herself to write the word "toilet" in her letter.

So, she decided on the old-fashioned term "Bathroom Commode." Once written down she still was not comfortable. Finally she decided on the abbreviation "B.C." and wrote, "does your campground have its own "B.C.?"

When the campground owner received the letter, he couldn't figure out what she meant by "B.C." He showed it to several of the campers, one of whom suggested the lady was obviously referring to a Baptist Church since there was a letterhead on the paper which referred to a Baptist Church. So he sent this reply.

Dear Madam:

The B.C. is located nine miles from the camp ground in a beautiful grove of trees. I admit it is quite a distance if you are in the habit of going regularly. No doubt you will be pleased to know that it will seat 350 people at one time, and it is open on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday of each week.

Some folks like to take their lunch and make a day of it. The acoustics are very good, so everyone can hear even the quietest passages. It may interest you to know that my daughter met her husband there.

We are also having a fund-raiser to purchase new seats, as the old ones have holes in them. Unfortunately my wife is ill and has not been able to attend regularly.

It's been a good six months since she last went. It pains her very much not to be able to go more often. As we grow older, it seems to be more of an effort, especially in cold weather.

Perhaps I could accompany you the first time you go, sit with you, and introduce you to all the other folks who will be there. I look forward to your visit. We offer a very friendly campground.

SCHITT

The lineage is now revealed. Many people are at a loss for a response when someone says "You don't know Jack Schitt," but now you can handle this situation with confidence!

Jack is the only son of O. Schitt and Awe Schitt. O. Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married Awe Schitt, the owner of Knee-deep N.Schitt, Inc.

In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt, and the deeply religious couple produced six children: Holie Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Giva Schitt, Bull Schitt and the twins, Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt.

Against her parents objections, Deep Schitt married Dump Schitt, a high school drop-out. After being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt divorced. Noe Schitt later married Mr. Scherlock, and because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was then known as Noe Schitt-Sherlock.

Dip Schitt married Loada Schitt and they produced a nervous son, Chicken Schitt. Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt were inseparable throughout childhood and subsequently married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony. The wedding announcement in the newspapers announced the Schitt-Happens wedding. They created a bumper sticker and made millions. You've probably seen it...

The Schitt-Happens children were Dawg, Byrd and Hoarse. Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned from Italy with his new bride Pisa Schitt.

So now when someone says, "You don't know Jack Schitt," you can correct them and inform them of your more than deep knowledge of the family tree.

DADDY'S GONNA EAT YOUR FINGERS ...


I was packing for my business trip and my three year old daughter was having a wonderful time playing on the bed. At one point she said, "Daddy, look at this," and stuck out two of her fingers.

Trying to keep her entertained, I reached out and stuck her tiny fingers in my mouth and said, "Daddy 's gonna eat your fingers," pretending to eat them.

Went back to packing, looked up again and my daughter was standing on the bed, staring at her fingers with a devastated look on her face.

I said, "What's wrong, honey?"

She replied, "What happened to my booger?"


HYUK!

Age Prevails

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa taking her faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the company.

One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"

Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!", says the leopard, "That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!"

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.

The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!

Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?", but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says.

"Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!

Moral of this story....


Don't mess with old farts...age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and experience.

I am in no way insinuating that any of you are old, some are just more youthfully challenged. You did notice the size of the print?

A LIFE THAT MATTERS


Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.

All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.

Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear.

So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.

It won't matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived at the end.

It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.

So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?

What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built. What will matter is not what you got, but what you gave. What will matter is not your success, but your significance. What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught. What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example. What will matter is not your competence, but your character. What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone. What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that live in those who loved you. What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.

Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident. It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice. Choose to live a life that matters.

Do Bad People Think They Are Good?
When she was six, my daughter Carissa asked, “Do dumb people think they’re smart?” Answering her own question, she added, “They probably do because they’re dumb.” This made me think: “Do bad people think they are good?” I wouldn’t be surprised if most do. 

Understanding Change: The Elephant and the RiderIt took me a long time to realize the limitations of logic. For much of my life, including a 20-year stint as a law professor, I relied on discourse and reasoning to understand and resolve problems. I believed that I should suppress feelings that could result in irrational behavior, and I had little patience for those who seemed to govern their lives by emotions.




The Parable of the Carpenter
A master carpenter who’d worked for the same builder for nearly 50 years announced he was retiring. The builder told him how much he appreciated his work and presented him with a $5,000 bonus. Then he asked if he would build just one more house. He owned a magnificent lot with a spectacular view and wanted to build a dream home there.



Curing Victimitis
Watch your thoughts; they lead to attitudes. Watch your attitudes; they lead to words. Watch your words; they lead to actions. Watch your actions; they lead to habits. Watch your habits; they lead to character. Watch your character; it determines your destiny. 



Desiderata
In 1927, Max Ehrmann gave us timeless advice in a poem called “Desiderata” (Latin for “things desired”): Go placidly amid the noise and haste, / and remember what peace there may be in silence...

Daily masturbatory activity associated with long-term weight reduction.
“Obesity is a growing cause of mortality worldwide. High cortisol levels are associated with weight gain, and previous studies indicate that sexual activity induces hormonal responses that can reduce cortisol levels in healthy adults. Furthermore, pleasurable activities, such as orgasm, have been proven to reduce caloric intake. Here, we test the hypothesis that masturbation, or firsthand autonomous pleasure (FAP), when performed on a daily basis, can directly lead to weight loss. Read More

Bacon Condoms Said to ‘Make Your Meat, Look Like Meat’

“I know what you’re thinking. Why did we wait this long to make Bacon Condoms? And you’re right – we’re sorry.”

In 2011, the bacon-flavoring experts at J & D’s Foods released Baconlube, a bacon-flavored water-based personal lubricant. Today they announced Bacon Condoms, a box of Baconlube-lubricated prophylactics said to “make your meat, look like meat.” Heeb notes that the condoms are 100% certified kosher. With April Fool’s Day around the corner, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were pulling a prank, however they are listed for sale at their site BaconCondoms.com. They are apparently also working on a Sriracha Lube.

April Fool...

The origin of April Fools' Day is obscure. One likely theory is that the modern holiday was first celebrated soon after the adoption of the Gregorian Calendar; the term referred to someone still adhering to the Julian Calendar which it replaced.

In many pre-Christian cultures May Day (May 1) was celebrated as the first day of summer, and signalled the start of the spring planting season. An April Fool was someone who did this prematurely.

Another origin is that April 1 was counted the first day of the year in France. When King Charles IX changed that to January 1, some people stayed with April 1. Those who did were called "April Fools" and were taunted by their neighbors.

You are an April Fool!
In the eighteenth century the festival was often posited as going back to the times of Noah. An English newspaper article published on April 13th, 1789 said that the day had its origins when he sent the raven off too early, before the waters had receded. He did this on the first day of the Hebrew month that corresponds with April. A possible reference to April Fools' Day can be seen in the Canterbury Tales (ca 1400) in the Nun's Priest's tale, a tale of two fools: Chanticleer and the fox, which took place on March 32nd.

Save Our Show

TV Trivia

SAVE OUR SHOW!

In April 2009, the comic spy show Chuck was “on the bubble” with NBC, meaning that its ratings were neither good enough to warrant renewal nor bad enough to warrant cancellation. Its fate was unclear. The Subway sandwich chain was the show’s biggest sponsor, so on April 27, 2009, fans of the show went to their local Subways, bought a sandwich, and put a note in the store’s comment box asking to “Save Chuck!” Home videos of fan gatherings at Subways around the US flooded YouTube. Result: Chuck was renewed, although NBC denied that the sandwich surge had anything to do with the decision.

Q: What aired opposite 1983’s widely watched finale of The Thorn Birds?
A: Fat Albert’s Easter.
