Biggest Loser

Marginal air quotes, celebrity, air quotes Jesse James cheated on his wife.  Jesse James’ wife is Sandra Bullock.  Jesse James is an idiot.

Floyd’s Secret Identity Revealed!

If you spend any time at Lileks – or just have hip friends – you’ve already seen this. But, until now, you did not know that the tralalalalala guy is really our own Floyd R. Turbo.

(Sorry for outing you Floyd, but we all voted on the new transparency policy that will henceforth govern Threedonia and [...]

And The Answer Is…

Before we get to that, we must get to this. Since I was playing hookey from 3D yesterday (aka: working) I did not get a chance to reply to this comment of Rufus:

One of the Little Fireflies (a girl, thank goodness!) went through a 10 month or so phase where she insisted on wearing a [...]

Don't Let The Door Hit You

…on your Gucci-clad behind.

Social Climber Secretary Desiree Rogers is leaving to pursue other opportunities:

In a statement released Friday…the Obamas said, “We are enormously grateful to Desiree Rogers for the terrific job she’s done as the White House Social Secretary. When she took this position, we asked Desiree to help make sure that the White House truly [...]

Thursday Thriller

“Paco Bell’s Cannon”

One of my students wrote that that was her favorite piece of music.  She’s a snotty little wench so I know it wasn’t intentional.

Have not. Stopped. Laughing.

Here’s a candid shot of Paco Bell, his unit, and their cannon:

NRO’s The Corner did a running bit recently, with people submitting their Fun w/Spelling Greatest Hits.

Like when I [...]

From Paris with a severe lack of love

Video shot by my friend (and candidate for Rancho Santa Margarita City Council) Jesse Petrilla, while in Paris last year. I’ve had the pleasure and privilege of watching Jesse mature from a wet-behind-the-ears firebrand while forming the United American Committee about six years ago, into one of the most knowledgeable people on the subject of [...]

My New Bumper Sticker

– or at the very least, I’m saying it to my students tomorrow.

Dick Cheney Drives CPAC Wild With Killer Quote: “I Will Bathe In Your Blood Before the Children of Babylon!!!”
Well, he meant to say that. He toned it down for the “establishment media” types in the room who’d be scared by that kind of [...]

There’s Not Enough Beer In The World To Explain Doing This: Tattoo Division

OK ladies, here’s a scenario to ponder. If you’re not single, imagine for a moment that you are. You meet a fella, are somewhat attracted to him and pursue the relationship. Eventually, that attraction grows to the point that you decide that it’s time to do the nasty with your new found love. He warns [...]

Speechless! – Special BS of the Year Edition

In case you missed it, riddle me this:

Now that we’re going to put the Iraq War firmly in the victory column, which it appears we are, guess who gets credit for winning the war?

Outlaw and his comrades who have been putting their asses on the line?

Nope.

George W. Bush, who had the stones to stand behind [...]

A Sighting of UrTax$(Canadian)@Work

It’s a geostationary banana.Thank heavens we got that straightened out.

The 3D Fruit Watch

Your (Canadian) tax dollars at work:

An Argentine artist called Caesar Saëz applied to the Canada Arts Council and le Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec and was given, between the two bodies, a grant of $130,000 to create a 300-metre long flying banana that would float over Texas protesting the policies of George W. [...]

Tanned, Rested, & Ready

At least the Repubs were polite enough to stay awake.  I saw the foto of JNo (our crack DHS sec’y) with both eyes shut.  Hey Janet!  Woulda been my response to it too.

Must be why they asked Bob McDonnell, and not me, to give the response.

By the way, Barry: a big two fingers up for [...]

The Lovely Left

Poor Scott Baio.  He made the mistake of linking to this unflattering photo of Michelle Obama in his Twitter feed, and for that he must be punished—killed, in fact.

His comment on the photo?  “WOW.  He wakes up to this every morning.”

When the barrage against him begins, he tries to reason with people:

One bad picture of [...]

Just Like My Daughter At That Age!

Not going to be everyone’s cup-o-tea (and NOT suitable for work – that little girl is going to have her mouth washed out with boiling lye!) but I suspect I’ll like it. Besides, any movie that brings back the “Banana Splits” theme has gotta be kick ass.

Not So Great Dane

Kurt Westergaard, the Danish cartoonist whose home was invaded by a Muslim seeking revenge for a drawing of Muhammed with a bomb in his turban, avoided injury by fleeing to a panic room and summoning police.

Uh, oh.

No shame in that, of course.

Except that he was watching his five-year-old granddaughter at the time.

He did not [...]

If It Looks Like a Duck…

and quacks like a duck… and walks like a duck, then it’s probably… an isolated incident.

AP is reporting that there was a second would-be underpants bomber apprehended in – of all places – Somalia last month. And he – go figure – had a bag of powdered chemicals, liquids and a syringe! Gracious me, what [...]

I’ve Seen It All in a Small Town…

I spent the Christmas weekend up at my sister’s house in Monroe, Connecticut.  It’s a lovely town a little north of Bridgeport, and the first taste of real New England you get when you’re driving north from New York City.

There are beautiful hills and woods, churches and gazebos, lovely leaves in the fall and there [...]

Speaking of Robin Hood

(Which we were). Modern, merry old England is suffering from a temporary shortage of green-tight clad bowmen. Not to worry, Father Tim Jones of St. Lawrence Anglican Church in York has the answer: redistribute the wealth yourself. What would Jesus do? Shoplift! Makes a lot of sense, cutting out the middle-man and all, but why [...]

Truth to the Truthers

Threedonians, I need your help!

Your Wankette is teaching a college course in writing.  One of my students — a young man with a troubled past — has shown great promise.  He’s got an eloquence and originality that is rare in anyone, let alone a 17-year-old.

But.

He submitted an essay (subject: “Explain a theory”) that was…ughhhhhh… delineating [...]

G-R-A-V-I-T-Y!

“On the 3rd planet from the Sun, I’ve been trying to get the funky job done!”

Wow!  Mighty Skip has just made my month!  And in a month that includes Christmas that’s sayin’ something’.  I really like James Brown and I am a big fan of his song, “Gravity.”  I hesitate to [...]

Michael Bay Has Finally Found His Niche

For all you Michael Bay haters out there, he has finally done it, he found something worthy of his considerable talent.

Thanksgiving

Probably the greatest scene of gratitude ever put to film….

Good Thing They Weren’t Merciful

Rom Houben had a a car accident in 1983. Doctors in Brussels thought he was in a coma and vegetative. His family was convinced he was paralyzed, but still conscious. Who was right? Doctors with degrees out the Yangtze or the family using their intuition and common sense?

Professor Steven Laureys [...]

Doomed to repetition … doomed to repetition

Oh, goodie, another Rush live album. Not just any ol’ studio album-tour-live album-live DVD, rinse-cycle-repeat variety live album, either. No, no. Why buck band tradition with something like that during the holiday season when a non-concert compilation of many shows through the years will be more than enough, thank ya kindly.

Please, Geddy, Alex and Neil, [...]

All Men Are Created Equal

Or so we used to think…

The Next Great “Law & Order” Episode

He’s doing it.  He’s really doing it. Our I-i-C (Idiot-in-Chief, Kriskey — but thanks for thinking I’d go there) is bringing the mastermind behind 9/11, Khalid Shake-his-Moped, to New York, for a trial.

I just came in here to barf on whatever thread was started; looks like I’ll have to set up the vomitorium myself.

Hey! Mr [...]

She’s a Dirty Girl! UPDATED…NOW WITH MORE DIRTY GIRL ACTION!

Nice job, New Mexico State! Oops, sorry it was New Mexico not New Mexico State. They lost by the way.

As mentioned in the comments, here are the greatest hits from that game…so to speak:

Not Worse Than Man-Boobs – But Close

First the name. Some of you will be familiar with it. The name is “Le-a”. And that is pronounced how?

How?

How?

How Now Brown Cow?

Le-a is supposedly pronounced: “Ledasha”. Get it? Snopes does not confirm or deny, but then I don’t know how much I trust Snopes anyway. No matter. It’s a fun little story and, if [...]

Radio Free Threedonia XXIII — Motor City Shaker

Michigan Congressman Thaddeus McCotter, one of the fast-rising stars of the Republican party, graciously stops by RF3D this week, featuring guest panelist Stage Right from Big Hollywood.

In addition to sharing the most concisely articulate battle-plans for the GOP in the 21st century, Rep. McCotter — who seems as content to secure a recording contract and [...]

3D Weekend Five: All Hallow’s Eve Edition

Haven’t heard from Wanks so I apologize up front!!!

OK Threedonians…. it is of course, Halloween. What are your top 5 Halloween memories? Or in the alternative things that creep you out or scare you?

1. Tarantulas… I can kill black widows and all manner of small spiders all the live long [...]

With all due respect to Iggy Pop …

… blah-blah-blah and exactly what is Sting smoking these days???

Very glad to have finally seen the Police a couple years ago, but that was mainly so I could witness the percussion genius of Stewart Copeland fairly up-close and personal. Sting, though? Let’s just say that while I own the majority of his solo output (and [...]

(Bumped) Radio Free Threedonia humbly welcomes …

Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (Lead Guitar-MI/USA)

Tune in (or whatever you call it in the cyber-world) Monday. In the grand tradition of We the People, please submit some questions you might like to hear. We’ll be sure to announce your name if we use it during the recording Sunday.

Joining us as guest co-host/panelist will be Big [...]

Because All Men Are Five Years Old At Heart

I really, REALLY need to get this report done TODAY. So, naturally, our evil IT manager sends me this link – completely immature, stupid, childish and frigging hilarious. I am laughing so hard that I’m crying. And, of course, I am also legally required to share with the rest of Threedonia.

My sincere apologies to the [...]

This Stuff Just Writes Itself

Or it would, if James Taranto at WSJ hadn’t gotten to it first.  How are those Heisman votes coming along, y’all?

The Magazine Publishers of America’s American Society of Magazine Editors has added a category to its annual magazine cover awards: Obama. This new category is the only ASME category focused on a single person, and [...]

The Bums Give Rush the Brush

More from Jim Geraghty:

Baltimore Football Fans May Quibble About His Idea of ‘Sensitivity’:
Jim Irsay, the son of the man who moved the Colts out of Baltimore in the middle of the night, tells reporters he thinks Rush Limbaugh is too “insensitive” to be an NFL owner.

Because that’s what professional football, with its convicted dogfighters, wife [...]

SNL: The Fix Is In

Apparently it took only one fisking by Wof Blitzer & the CNN crowd to scare Lorne Michaels.

Tonight’s cold opening had Fred Armisen as Obama admitting “I won it [the Nobel] for not being George W. Bush.” to loud applause and cheering.
Then he went on to announce he’d won the PowerBall.
Not funny.
Pathetic, in fact.

I doubt that [...]

You Are My Wife…Goodbye City Life

Where’s Arnold the Pig at? …And don’t tell me Larry’s BBQ either!

UPDATE!

I don’t know why I didn’t think of this when I first posted this article…this whole thing strikes me as this woman’s version of “Dancing With Wolves”. There she is in good ole’ Alabamy living among the savages, how shocked her [...]

These Are American Soldiers…

From ABC comes this STORY of an outpost being over-run and a fight to the death.

Flying into the besieged Afghan base during a nighttime firefight this weekend was a harrowing mix of overwhelming noise, stomach dropping maneuvers and shadows hurrying through the gloom.

When the chopper lifted off moments later with three wounded soldiers, it [...]

A Really Bad Day

So I’m sure this has happened to everybody: you go to a motel to meet your lovely paramour (pictured above), expecting to engage in a bit of somewhat kinky love-making, and then everything goes to hell and you end up naked, running down the street with your penis crazy-glued to your stomach.

I hate it when [...]

Film at 11 — IN HELL! Network Fact-checks Obama Joke

Eric mentioned this in tonight’s Open Thread — I also saw it at AceHQ, via HotAir.  I am making it a post because I believe every conservative site out there needs to shout this from the rooftops.   They’re fact-checking a freakin’ joke.

No wonder a 3am Fox News Show is kicking their collective asses.  Humorless, crybaby, [...]

Monday Night Mashup

probably not technically a mashup, but enough to tweak Rufus….

A

Three Chords and the Truth?

I’ll naturally believe it when I see it on a release schedule — and I will see this Ramones movie I’m sure — but can’t help but think Johnny Ramone will get the typical demonization treatment from Hollywood due to his being the God blesser of George W. Bush (2:19). Damn shame what they’ll probably [...]

Somewhere, Sarah Palin is laughing her butt off

From a poster at Ace HQ:

A [Support David Letterman] petition has already been created and signed by Woody Allen, Bill Clinton, Elliot Spitzer, Roman Polanski, Charles Manson, OJ Simpson…

Whoopi Goldberg, Debra Winger, Anne Applebaum, Harvey Weinstein…

Floyd Here: Here’s the video of Letterman’s admission…
