Pay Attention Boy!

You might remember this post by Outlaw of a douchebag bailing out on a foul ball while his date got hit with the ball. I invite said douchebag to watch this. This lady falls out of the saddle and gets right back up.

Happy Second Anniversary, Threedonia!!

On this day in 2008 some ones and zeros were uploaded to a vacant outpost on the world wide web and thus, rather inauspiciously, www.threedonia.com was born! As with most offspring, threedonia has developed quite differently than Floyd, Chuck and I foresaw, gazing through the celebratory cigar smoke on that storied day.

We began as [...]

And They Say Bush Was The Idiot

Don’t know if this has been photoshopped or not, I have seen it in several places but don’t know it’s source…it’s damn funny though.

UPDATE! According this this site that has the original AP caption…not a photoshop job.

Here’s the caption as written: “President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama walk through a rainy Columbia [...]

Floyd: Bill Cosby’s Message to Jackson and Sharpton

For those of you who love nostalgia there’s a nice little reminder in the video between 1:29 and 1:34.

Weirdo

Marvin Gaye’s performs for The Association of Stereotypical White People

This is a weekend truth or dare folks. Your challenge: reveal something that’s a little offbeat – strange – weird even – about yourself. Not disturbing (Floyd take note: NOT disturbing – we don’t care if the statute of limitations has run [...]

Joseph Montgolfier was born this day in 1740… 43 years before he had a really good washing…

Atlas Shrugging in the Playground

I’ve never liked Ayn Rand — and this tongue in cheek story reminds me why…

When little Aiden toddled up our daughter Johanna and asked to play with her Elmo ball, he was, admittedly, very sweet and polite. I think his exact words were, “Have a ball, peas [sic]?” And I’m sure you were very proud [...]

Cat-s*** crazy

There Are Experts…

and then there are journalists. P.J. O’Rourke tells us about a special kind of expert in The Weekly Standard — the 72-Hour Expert from Kabul, Afghanistan.

If you spend 72 hours in a place you’ve never been, talking to people whose language you don’t speak about social, political, and economic complexities you don’t understand, and [...]

Tuesday Mourning

I cannot believe how unfair life is. I have to go back to work today full time after being off (“off” meaning some summer courses) since the beginning of May. Rest assured Threedonians. I will never ask “Why me?” “Why not me?” now that is the question.

A Soundtrack Within A Blog

A month of Sundays, RF3D style

With one more August show to go, an easy way to get caught up on the return of Radio Free Threedonia. Moving backwards …

8/22 — Author Kender MacGowan and a mini-memorial to The Call’s Michael Been, including great stories from Been friend and former collaborator Eli Braden

Tear The Roof Off The Sucka!

I wanna be … Neocon?

Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols opines on the recent musician ban of Israel following the flotilla flap. The singer had this to say in the Independent.

I really resent the presumption that I’m going there to play to right-wing Nazi jews [sic]. If Elvis-f-ing-Costello wants to pull out of a gig in Israel [...]

The Cordoba Project

All this time, I thought Muslims were wanting to restore a Chrysler Cordoba. In the name of Allah, hold out for a Challenger or a Dart.

I don’t even know where to begin. O.K., you don’t like Sarah Palin. We get it. But the first point you’re going to use in your defense is the right to choose to kill your children?! Huh? Isn’t that Palin’s point with her Momma Grizzly analogy? A Momma Grizzly will fight to protect her cubs. [...]

The race is on to make the world’s first 3-D pron (sic) movie. Who will win? Hong Kong? The remake of Caligula? Or the Avatar spoof?

Radio Free Threedonia -- A Sunday extravaganza (bumped)

After an unexpected week off (no, we weren’t licking our wounds after not being able to figure out what’s up with the Podbean archiving), RF3D’s back in action today — 4-6 PM PST on Right Talk Radio.

Guests include the production team behind No No: A Dockumentary, talking Dock Ellis and 70s baseball … comedians Ellen [...]

He Likes Large Glutes And He Just Can't Prevaricate

Check out this Wiki entry for Sir Mix-a-lot’s ode to the female form…

In the opening verse, Sir Mix-a-Lot professes his affinity for large buttocks and his inability to disguise this fact from others. He goes on to describe other desirable physical attributes, such as a trim waistline, tight-fitting garments, and unblemished skin. Though the song [...]

HaHaHaHaHaHaHa! Wipeout!

I’ve been meaning to blog this since summer began. I want to sing the praises of ABC’s show Wipeout. Is it inane? Yes. Stupid? Sure. Annoying contestants? You betcha. But here’s the catch. Most of the annoying contestant “wipeout” on the ridiculous obstacle course in horribly embarrassing [...]

The Fobitt Workout

Working the fat off for chairborne rangers everywhere.

Via BlackFive

Exercise No. 1: Fobgeneration

It takes nine seconds from the time you die in “Call of Duty” until you regenerate. Most people waste that time sitting in a chair getting fatter. You can maximize it for an optimal workout.

As soon as death is imminent, shift your weight out [...]

In Class With Floyd

In my Diplomatic History course tonight we’ll be talking about post WW2 foreign policy — including the Marshall Plan, the Berlin Airlift and the creation of NATO. There were, of course, reservations by all parties in the formation of NATO. When the Treaty of Washington was signed in 1949 with all appropriate pomp [...]

Shove It! (BUMPED AND UPDATED)

Something in the water these days seems to have resurrected the shade of Johnny Paycheck. Everyone’s heard by now of the Jet Blue flight attendant Steven Slater who blew up at a rude passenger, grabbed a couple of brewskis, activated the emergency chute slid down drove home and was arrested while going Brokeback Mountain [...]

Turn It Up Tuesday (addendum) -- Arizona Anthem?

Because today’s earlier TIUT entry was more about movies than music (in a week the Ozz-Fest finally arrives to boot, go figure), fancy-fun little tune for y’all …

Leroy Jenkins: Greatest video game player ever?

My guess, this is the first uber-popular YouTube video. It may have made the entire site. Gets funny around 1:30, but the World of Worldcraft geek-speak build up is well worth it.

Some have asked where I acquired my online moniker, JohnFNWayne. Ten or so years ago, I would come home after four hours of college, [...]
