I have never seen this before. I have no idea who “Dr. Hook” is. This is one of those things where you’re watching something on YouTube, you look in the “related” links, and then you’re bored so you just keep digging deeper and deeper into the related links.
Next thing you know, you find weird gems like this:
.50 BMG vs. iPhone 4
.50 BMG vs. iPad
.50 BMG vs. retro iMac
(I think the super-slo-mo on that one is awesome).
Pearls Before Swine is a great comic.
Today’s strip:
And what can we learn from Officer Potus?
Put your gun in the holster and leave it alone.
Don’t let the muzzle cover anything you’re not willing to destroy.
Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target.
Did I miss anything?
I’m betting Stephan Pastis didn’t expect his comic to be such a repository of gun safety lessons. 🙂

You could even adopt a child!
I may be able to help you. I received a bunch of emails this morning from a lot of people just eager to help me out with all of these problems! I’ll be happy to forward information along.
🙂
I have to admit, spam on adopting a child is a new one…. and a little bothersome. 🙂
If I may put my geek hat on… this is full of win on multiple levels:
In the world of software, licenses are a big deal. There’s the pure legal aspect, there’s the liability aspect, there’s protection for property, and then there’s a lot of philosophy that goes into licenses.
For instance, consider the Open Source licenses. They are there for legal purposes, but also to promote a specific philosophy about how source code should be treated.
Well, in their latest attention-whoring effort, PETA has created a flavor of an open source license. I’m not going to link to it to give them any more attention than this post getting indexed by Google and Bing will give it. But the idea is they took a BSD-style license as a foundation then added a clause that use of the software cannot be used to harm humans or animals. Because of that, the license actually doesn’t satisfy the definition of an open license, because an open license strives to minimize restrictions and promote openness — this license discriminates against that, but PETA openly acknowledges that (because their point isn’t openness, it’s driving home their narrow viewpoint).
So as a wonderful alternative, we have the WTFPL — Do What The Fuck You Want To Public License.

Someone sent this to me. I thought it was funny. 🙂

#2 was especially funny. There’s much truth to #6.

Busy.
How can I resist?
As for the last minute of the clip (obviously edited in by the video poster), I’ll just say this. CC may not be Steve Vai, but he’s making albums, up on stage, touring the world, getting all the groupies, and living the life. Meanwhile all the haters are sitting at home wishing they could be doing what he does. Rock on, CC.
