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 [...]

WTF?!? TMI and a bunch of other letters

It seems the Ghost Whisperer likes to have jewels glued to her special place.

“What’s that?!?” you say.

The Last Straw…

If you’re like me, and face it you know you wish you were… you probably wake up and go Dammit! When will they remake Sam Peckinpah’s Straw Dogs? When was the last film with a graphic rape scene perpetrated by ingrown English hicks? I mean — think Deliverance except heterosexual and with [...]

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 Picture Says A Thousand Words…

and none of them are good.

…Put your feet up, y’all come back now…hear!

Yeah, I put my feet on the furniture here where I work. But I think I know the difference between a crappy government desk in a dirty office in Iraq and an historic piece of furniture in the Oval Office that [...]

What’s a Gay, Mentally Challenged, Biracial, Male Cheerleader Got to Do…

…to get a set of pom-poms?

From the Seattle Times Weekly:

Benjamin Grundy is a student at Garfield-Palouse High School (local population: 1,100) who says the school is discriminating against his wishes to do what all the other cheerleaders are doing. Namely, dance, wave pom-poms, wear a proper uniform and not just stand like there like a [...]

The True Face Of Evil

From BlackFive

If you ever hear anyone ask why on earth we should be fighting these monsters in Afghanistan, I want you to think of this…

They attached a bomb to my sister Nahida. They tied rectangular pieces to both her arms, and a black strip was wrapped around both her legs.

Then they connected the whole thing. [...]

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

What to get the 9-year old that has everything? Noah Cyrus (Miley’s kid sis) Lingerie. No shit. Go to the link for more info… Our current economic situation is but a symptom of a deeper crisis.

Wonder if this is good or bad for John Nolte’s Tru(e) Crime fixes…

Douche-bag 12 O’Clock, Tracking

From CDR Salamander comes this story of a guy who showed up at a party honoring Houston’s new mayor. In a linked photo over there his uniform has him as a Brigadier General (One Star). Yeah, if that douche is a one-star then I’m Neil Armstrong.

Head on over to Salamander’s place for the [...]

Shut Up Already! Damn.

Most of you by now have heard that Pat Robertson blamed Haiti’s “pact with the devil” for the earthquake. Here’s the clip. Sorry to use a lefty conspiracy clip, but it’s the shortest one available and is light on editorial comment believe it or not:

How Old Testament. Well it seems he’s not [...]

Yeah, That’s Me

Floyd Here: This is also him — after his IVF:

Big Journalism’s latest contributor, that is – only with a considerably better picture than what y’all are used to.

And no, they don’t know what they’ve just got themselves into…

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.

This So Craptastic I Could Dial S for … Ahhhh Nevermind

Christopher Lee, Charlemagne, heavy metal, symphonic music, singing… What about this could go wrong?

From the A.V. Club:

Videogum and The Guardian have the news that the 87-year-old actor plans to release a “symphonic metal” album about the life and career of Charlemagne, the first Holy Roman Emperor and a direct ancestor of Lee himself. “To my [...]

Doesn’t al-Qaeda Know That Obama’s Sister Is Half Indonesian?

A couple of days ago I heard a snippet of an interview with then-Senator Obama which took place on New Hampshire Public Radio in November of 2007.  I haven’t been able to locate this particular clip on the net, so here’s a link to the entire interview.

I would have liked to have made a slide [...]

Obama’s Interpol Antics… Evil?

Interpol is an international police agency started in the early 1920s to act as a clearinghouse of information. It can be an invalubale in today’s transnational crime environment. It also, however, has been working in conjunction with The International Criminal Court as well as helping foreign governments who believe in universal jurisdiction — that [...]

A WTF New Year

A fitting tribute to those noble warriors of the southwest, the Apache.

Actually I feel the tribe has grounds for a lawsuit for this and the Sugar Hill Gang’s version of this song. The instrumental version by Jimmy Thackery is quite cool however.

Happy New Year everyone! Good riddance to 2009 that’s for [...]

ACORN Has the Right to Your Money

US District Judge Nina Gershon has granted ACORN’s request for a preliminary injunction which directs the federal government to ignore Section 163 of the continuing appropriations bill passed by Congress last October (S. 163).

S. 163 ordered that:

None of the funds made available by this joint resolution or any prior Act may be provided to the [...]

My Head Hurts

A story at Politico begins:

Executives at National Public Radio recently asked the network’s top political correspondent, Mara Liasson, to reconsider her regular appearances on Fox News because of what they perceived as the network’s political bias, two sources familiar with the effort said.

So, does NPR believe that Ms. Liasson contributes to what they perceive as [...]

Moonbatman Returns!

Even I thought I might just be succumbing to paranoia when I wrote a post the other day on the gate-crashing incident at the White House.  (Note the title.)

When oh when will I learn that I must never ever doubt myself and my super-conspiracy-sniffing ability?

Desirée Rogers is the White House social secretary, and she was [...]

Would You Two Get a Tent?!?

Someday in San Francisco you may get to.

Public sex tents? Now there’s an idea that should have been shot down the second it was announced from the mouth of a member of the “leather community” in response to complaints about public sex at Folsom Street Fair and its smaller sibling fair, Up Your Alley.

Instead, it [...]

Prepare to Be Pissed

Andrew McCarthy at The Corner has this…. he says someone should “walk the plank”… I’d prefer tarring and feathering. Do not read the link until you take a stiff drink and separate yourself from your breakables…. Here’s a taste:

It’s been brought to my attention by several reliable sources that the Defense Department [...]

Swinging for the Bleachers

What has happened to Sammy Sosa since he retired from baseball? No really. WTF happened to Sammy Sosa?!?

So in football season I’m a little slow on the baseball news. Holy crap! If I used that skin cream you could see my organs. I’d be like Slim Goodbody — except I’m not slim [...]

PC In The Military, Part III

For those of you who were shocked by the COS of the Army’s statement about Major Husan and the loss of our multi-culturalism, we have this doozy of a story courtesy of Uncle Jimbo over at BLACKFIVE

Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the [...]

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, [...]

Not As Good As Skeet Surfing

Pink Is the New Stupid

Code Pink’s website has a letter that you can personalize and send to President Obama.  Here’s a line from it:

The recent shootings at Ft. Hood and the resignation of top Foreign Service officer Matthew Hoh demonstrate how even our military officers are opposed to US strategy in Afghanistan.

Imagine the mindset of a women who can [...]

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

Would someone tell this idiot that “all men are created equal” and that we don’t bow? We. DO NOT BOW. How difficult is that to understand? I can only conclude that he’s an idiot or that he will one day expect bows in return. Perhaps he’s waiting for KIm Jong Il [...]

WTF Video Redux

I happen to like this song (quite a lot).

Heck, this one, too.

Some people might even like this song.

Joystick Extra

Science! Animals! Rufus’ Christmas present is right here.

I Think I’ve Found Mike

Anyone who has ever watched the show MXC knows that the Japanese are capable of some pretty strange stuff, and this is one of those strange things.

Of course it would help figure it out if I spoke Japanese, but I don’t so there you go.

Mass Hysteria

Last Sunday in my weekly Sunday Gospel post Rufus, The College Widow (TCW) and Stephanie had a brief colloquy on the relative merits — or lack thereof of “the guitar mass” as compared to Mass being played with organ, piano, etc. Here is an especially “good” example of TCW’s complaint:

Oh my Catholic brothers and [...]

Be All That You Can Be…

If you don’t have a real job then make one up…

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 [...]

I Love You, You Love Me

Is listening to the theme song to the kids show “Barney” over and over torture? How about Britney Spears?

This story from the LA Times details several “artists” attempts to ascertain if their “music” was used in torturing prisoners held at Gitmo. I especially enjoy the title of the piece, which conjures up a [...]

Better Than A Broken Heart?

This is a music video from the band Yes. Made in 1984, even back then it caused me to exclaim WTF?

This song kicks ass, but I dare anyone to explain what this video is supposed to be about.

Feline Friday

Wow… not Man-boobs. promise.

Teaching? Learning.

It’s amazing what one can learn off these here Internets. Prepping for a lecture on state corrections costs and healthcare I came across this wonderful website — and by “wonderful” I mean it made me despair, pull my hair out and reinforced my growing detestation of our current political structure — federal and state.

End of an Era (for now)

Buck up, though, world. If four years of Carter gave us Reagan, can’t even begin to imagine to whom the Obama years will lead. Pipe down re. 16 more years of Chavez-inspired Obama, you piper-uppers …

Nobel Piece

Apparently affirmative action is a truly international phenomenon. President Barack Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. No. Really.
