The Carlton Dance.

Happy Friday.

Updated: OK, that sucks… they allow it to be embedded, but then playback is restricted from certain sites (I guess wordpress.com is one of them). Whatever. Just click through and watch since it’s a great compilation of Carlton’s greatest dances. 🙂

TSA Foreplay

You know… all this TSA b.s. going on… we need to find the positive in all this negative.

It’s the new foreplay.

“Hey baby… tonight I’ll play the nervous passenger and you play the TSA agent!”

“Excuse me sir, but that’s quite a large package you’re smuggling. I think I’m going to have to take you aside for an enhanced patdown!”

🙂

OMG WTF?

Vince Neil — famous for being the lead singer of notorious rock band Mötley Crüe — on ice skates?

and not just ice skates, but a reality show for ice skating.

How (not) metal.

But apparently, Vince skated a lot as a kid. Story here. I guess it surprises me because Vince would have to realize all that white stuff on the rink was ice shavings and not cocaine. 😉

In all fairness, Vince skated pretty well. It’s evident he knows how to get around on skates, from skating backwards, to partner moves and so on. So really, it’s not bad. The routine was certainly playing to Vince’s rocker status, but it wasn’t any sort of impressive skating routine… it was just kinda flat and obvious they made a routine that worked with Vince’s skill level and worked to hide what he couldn’t do. But hey… you could tell Vince wasn’t drunk because he had his balance. 😉

I figure the guy’s gotten to a point in his life where it doesn’t matter any more. Just have fun, make some money, keep your name and face out in front of people. And he actually looked like he was having fun out there, so hey… all that matters.

Who’s violent?

Geez.

Over on Fark there’s a story about a man whose 900# bear was killed. Well, it’s not really his bear. It’s a wild bear that happened to live in the same area as the man, the man fed it and watched it over the years, and a hunter legally killed it during open season.

But the Fark comment thread is the interesting thing. It continues the meme of wondering why anti-gunners are so violent:

Here is another example of why gun owners should kill themselves. I have never heard a happy story that involved a gun.

Never heard a happy story that involved a gun? Go talk with the almost 60 of Tom Givens’ students that are still alive because they used a gun in defense of themselves and others. I’d say those are happy stories.

If you own a gun, kill yourself.

If you smoke pot, kill yourself.

If your are a Republican, a conservative, a libertarian, or a teabagger, kill yourself

If you didn’t like Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World , kill yourself.

If you can’t obey the law, I hope the government kills you.

Wow. (your are?)

But hey… he didn’t read the article (hunter didn’t use a gun). And it’s obvious he’s just a troll. Really, better left ignored but you know… it’s fun to point out how the pot’s blacker than the kettle.

I’M MAGICAL!

From Hyperbole and a Half: Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving.

Just go read it. It’s funny, especially if you’re a dog owner.

I didn’t want dogs like this. That’s why I got a Kuvasz. But then… my dog eats cat poop and is happy to spin around and chase her own tail, so… sometimes I wonder. 🙂

“Naked Grandma” is the new gun

According to the game show, Family Feud, the (almost) last thing a burglar wants to see when he breaks into a house is… no, not a gun… a naked grandma.

I detect a new paradigm in home defense tactics.
