Flu shots, WTF?
Robin received her flu shot for this season.
I have never had one in my life.
Currently, Robin is very sick.
Go figure.
Cartoon profiles on Facebook
I saw some of my friends changing their Facebook profiles to cartoon characters from their childhood. This is to “not see a human face on FB till Monday, December 6th. Join the fight against child abuse….”
I’m not trying to be a douche and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with doing this. It sounds fun, in fact.
But whenever things like this are going around, I often wonder what the logic is in it. How does putting a cartoon character on your profile “fight” child abuse? Do abusers see them and suddenly get a change of heart? Turn themselves in or seek professional help? I doubt it.
Does it provide help to the victims?
It’s similar to buying ribbons to support the troops or for cancer, etc. Who do they really help save for the people selling you the ribbons?
Wouldn’t it be more productive to donate or volunteer directly to the cause? Otherwise, it seems more like some simple ritual to make a person feel better about themselves, without really doing anything about the cause.
And if it makes you feel better, great! We all need that in these rough times, especially during the holidays. I’m not trying to shit on anyone, personally, for doing it. Hell, those cartoon images certainly bring back some memories.
But do they really help abused children? Really?
Am I missing something?
If you’re able, why not donate to a charity like Child Help or perhaps volunteer instead.
Hot for Words on Pron
This is full of awesome (and yes, it’s safe):
Thanks again to Adam Whitlatch for the heads up, you perv!
Thundercats movie trailer
In response to my last post, Adam Whitlatch showed me this awesome fan made trailer for Thundercats. Check it out!
Love me some Cheetara
Robin has been watching She-Ra on Netflix all week, which is very cool. But it’s got me jonesing for Thundercats, which I loved a lot more than He-Man back in the day. And while She-Ra is a hottie, she can’t top Cheetara (well, she can so long as I watch).
Only problem is she can run so much faster than me.
Always play with their minds
I just took a dump in my backyard.
Why?
When the dogs are let outside next, they’ll go around sniffing and come across it… and they’ll be really confused.
I only hope they don’t try to roll in it. I ain’t cleaning that shit if they do.
Don’t keep Satan waiting… This way to Hell!
In other words: Happy Thanksgiving!
We had a nice one with my mother, my brother Joe, and my brother Jim and his family. I got totally stuffed on turkey, homemade bread, etc and I the leftovers were awesome today.
Robin and I were alone once again by late afternoon, but not before we watched my favorite Thanksgiving movie, Love at Stake. It’s a hilarious old comedy about the Salem witch trials, and it has some great Thanksgiving scenes that involve getting stoned with Indians and screwing a turkey. Good, wholesome family entertainment… with plenty of cussing, adult humor, and boobies (two, actually, and four if you’re watching close enough).
Oh, and the best scene is during a trial where a real witch is in the audience affecting the events, such as making choir girls sing a song about Satan – hence the post title.
Watch The Call of Cthulhu for free!
Currently, US residents can watch the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society’s silent film, The Call of Cthulhu right HERE on hulu.com!
It was made a silent film because of the time the story was written, so it would have been modern for that period. Considering the style and budget used, I think they did a remarkable job.
I live in a backwards area
They did the trick or treating LAST night, which is like coming down and opening presents on the morning of Christmas Eve. Furthermore, they didn’t even come around to the houses. They just went to one place in the middle of town where people decorated their trunks and handed out candy.
Takes all the fun and work out of getting your candy, if you ask me.
So anyway, we have Halloween to ourselves, AND we still have all the candy, mwahahaha!
Frankly, I’m surprised it’s even celebrated around here. I was selling books at a local festival a few years ago, and local women kept telling me things like, “That horror stuff is of the devil! You know, witches go out to find children to cook on Halloween night. It’s true! I saw it on Oprah!”
I kid you not. I was actually told this crap and they seriously believed it.
And here’s the weird thing: a much smaller town about ten minutes away was different. While they still trick or treated on the wrong night, my sister-in-law said that they had 100 kids come to their door.
I dunno. Someone told me that they do it a day early so the older kids can do their pranking on the real night without put the little ones in harm’s way. What older kids? I see no toilet paper in the trees the next morning. No eggs thrown. No pranks at all. Even they don’t seem to get in the spirit.
And we only have like one cop car in town at any given time. It’s not like they couldn’t do it.
Come on, wussies! Wreak some havoc! (but you didn’t hear that from me, lol)
