What amused you today?

Funny... I have seen a very similar phrase on the internet before.

I would tell it as God told women that good and honest husbands would be found on all corners to the world. Then he made the world round.

UK military drafted to fill empty Olympic seating

This is a perfect blend of conspiracies, outrage, and absurdity. Where are all the ticket holders? Why couldn't most people get tickets? And the lengths people are going to cover it up. People will bitch about ANYTHING, and yet some of the complaints here are quite legit. It's a storm in a bottle that most people will likely either never hear about or not care. I love it.

I heard an interesting report on the radio that the tickets were supposed to be filled by the other countries constituants and that the london committee was pretty angry that that didn't happen and was looking to get sell the empty seats to local residents only but that the other countries had to do something first.

I can't comment on the accuracy of that though. I was listening over the chatting of my carpoole and may have missed key details.

I've been setting a live trap in my yard the last several days to try to reduce the feral cat population around here. My front yard smells like a litterbox. I've caught two and animal control took them away for adoption. I also caught a smallish Opposum, which I released. Boy did it ever stink! I didn't catch anything last night, but when I looked out a little while ago, I noticed the trap was sprung. I couldn't see anything in it, and when I went outside for a closer look, the cat food was gone, but still nothing. Oh wait, there's a Red-eared Slider, about eight or nine centimeters long in the corner.

[Mackay]

Oh my god that is so cute. What did you do with it? Did you get a picture of it?

Why don't adorable turtles show up in my yard? Even if they did they'd probably be venomous or something

[Courk]

They're probably eaten by spiders.

I read this today as a comment on a yahoo story and couldn't help but want to tell my kids.

First day of school, I had the students go get their textbooks and then give me their last name and the last two digits of their book number.

I had to do a double take when a student said "Miller, 64."

And we have a new Moron of the Moment winner:

According to MSNBC, saying someone is "angry" is racist code for "you're a nigger".

Congratulations Touré, the angry winner of the most recent Moron of the Moment award.

DM, You and I don't agree on much, politically; but I'm with you on this.

Of course, I think Romney's full of shit to be calling Obama angry and divisive. How many times has Obama tried to reach across the aisle only to be slapped? But it isn't a racist thing, just the usual political bullshit.

[DejMar]

The current president is not a uniter, but a divider.
If Obama was reaching his hand out, it was not in peace but a figuartive shove.

[Zag]

Seriously? This is the guy who tried to hire a fairly conservative Republican for Secretary of the Interior? This is the guy who bent over backwards on his signature campaign promise, Universal Health Care, adopting the approach that Mit Romney devised when he was Governor of Massachusetts, only to have the Big-Health-Insurance-Financed Republicans spit on it, with their lies of Death Panels and the like. And Americans were stupid enough to believe it!

Have you not been paying attention? This congress has been called the Party of No for a reason, because they block everything Obama has put forth, whether or not it was something that actually originated in their own party. Of course, Ronald Reagan would be too liberal for the GOP today, now that the huge money and the Christian bigots have put their strangle hold on it. That's just crazy.

Or do you drink the Fox News Kool-Aid?

Today, the "network" I oversee decided to take a big shit and die. Literally, it was working one second and then multiple routers crashed and lost all of their configuration the next. So, the internet is not accessible on camp.

I'm working on it, and somebody walks up to me. They informed me that they'd been trying to send me an email to let me know that the internet wasn't working, but the email wouldn't send, so I should probably look at that too....

Pretty funny, Neo.

I saw a poster that showed a dog peeing on a snowman, and it said, "President Obama should warn people not to eat yellow snow, just because it would be so funny to see Fox News trying to find the counter argument."

[Scurra]

I always like articles like this because they often manage to be far more serious than any of the "serious" articles.

The wrong side absolutely must not win

The Star Wars That I Used To Know

Albertson's egg prices:
6 lg eggs $1.19
12 lg eggs $2.59
18 lg eggs $3.99

Bulk pricing fail.

[Jedo the Jedi]

I've noticed similar trends, groza. I think people have become so used to that fact that bulk is cheaper that the companies are now switching back to make a little extra money. No wonder our economy is so screwed up when things like supply and demand and bulk packaging aren't practiced.

My experience:
1 full-sized comb $.99
2 full-sized combs $2.99
1 half-sized comb $1.99
a bag of 12 assorted full and half-sized combs $2.39

WTF?

Fry's supermarket does have a quantity discount on cat food. Pet Pride cat food costs 37¢ per can and a 24 pack costs $8.87, a savings of 1¢ per 24 cans.

Yahoo, in their infinite wisdom, has an article about the distribution of presidential donations by people named Sandy. And other names associated to hurricanes.
